Definitely gonna add Howa Mini Prefits to our store. You know I love that little action.

What do you want to see? 22 ARC, .223, 6 ARC, 6x45, etc.

You can also include 308 sized case head that fit in a mag, LIKE: 22 or 6 BR/BRA/Dasher

It requires opening the bolt face and bushing the firing pin. I am working with a smith to offer that service. It should be less than $145 shipped.

I would definitely be interested in a 16-18” 6 ARC barrel with a super light contour and 1/2x28 threads. I know most guys just get theirs cut down, but it would be great have have the option to swap the barrel instead of paying and waiting for a smith to cut it.

Same here, and it will shoot better.

Three problems to solve here:
1) Accuracy issues with some 6 ARC factory barrels.
2) Configuration sub optimality of the offered 6 ARC factory barrels.
3) Lack of availability of other mini cartridges of interest (223 AI, 22 Creed, etc.)

Addressing #1&2:

6mm ARC, 7 twist, 16.25” + 18" + 20" long, Lightest possible profile with flare to 5/8x24 threads, lapped, matte stainless

I see you're not doing 5/8 here, so of course 1/2 is acceptable and we can install our own thread adapters.

We are on the same page. I am working towards a custom contour for the flare. For now, it’s 1/2 adapters or HUB.

Might want to have some 22” 6 ARC options for folks that want to get more velocity. I really like the 22” sporter with the 6 ARC. I still run a can with the adapter.
