    Hey LRRP, do you know if the 160 gr will cycle the AR platform in a subsonic loading?

      I did that with mine - i left it about 2mm high

          +2 I cut it off and finished sanding it down till I stopped dropping it out accidentally. 1/6" I'd say.

              That's great news for Canada -- a lot of folks will discover that this is an excellent cartridge for most hunting!

                Did anyone see if Manners had finished inletting a stock for the mini action?

                I read on another forum that he would have one inlet for an EH1 for the shot show

                  Might want to give them a call or email. I did last month and was told they didn't have one made, but could make one for you. Not sure on price.

                    I cant imagine it being cheap... I just ordered an MCS EH1 for another rifle and it was $1450 AUD landed and a 6month wait O_O!!

                      Any updates on who might be added to the list of aftermarket stock makers for the mini?

                        I emailed wildcat composites in Canada about making an ultralight stock for the mini - they said they don't do any howas yet - so no joy there either

                          I did the same last week. Eventually if we keep asking, someone will step up go the plate.

                          I'll hunt this year with my chop-job and send it off for a Pendleton stock after hunting season.

                            Does Pendleton do a stock for the mini?

                            If they do I'm probably in for one

                              He (owner of Oregongunsmitingllc) advised me he could make one. I believe it was going to be around 630.

                                ok cool - reading between the lines it sounds like he needs a rifle so he can make a mold for the inletting?

                                I've emailed him (waiting for a response) but if this is case I'll have to wait till someone sends theirs off.... its a bit hard for me to do from overseas

                                it would make a great baby mountain rifle LOL
