This is where I bought mine in 2020 and the price was the same. The price shown is Canadian dollars. Was the only place that I could locate one. They usually have them in stock.

Edit: Went back and searched the forum for my post about when I ordered mine here is what I actually paid in February 2020. Looks like the price now would be $41.00 plus some change(that includes shipping). Shipping is not cheap - 21.95 now.

Cost me $34.32 American when I bought mine in March 2020. Looks like the price is the same. They will send you an email with the amount in Canadian but they convert it when they charge your bank. The shipping is pretty expensive ($19.95).

I have one of the possum hollow bore guides and it is fantastic. You may be able to find a US distributor is easier to work with.

On another forum they state that you can call Possum Hollow directly and place an order. They say the owner will answer but I have never done it so I don't know.

The number of the bore guide is #326 for the Howa Mini. No American distributor ever has that bore guide in stock. Nordic Marksmen will have the bore guide back in stock as they always sell all of the ones they have for the Howa Mini.

Here is the number posted on the Possum Hollow web page: 1-260-377-9715.

I think Sinclair International will make one to order? Possible that they already have them.

Well, the #326 Possum Hollow bore guide was "In Stock" half hour ago.

Just looked and they are "Out of stock" again.

In this "now you see me, now you don't" instance, which website were you looking at for the #326 Possum Hollow Howa mini bore guide? I haven't seen that particular bore guide "In Stock" or "Out of Stock" listed by any of the distributors listed in the Possum Hollow website.

This is the only site that I have ever found the #326 in stock. This is the site that I ordered mine from and they list about every bore guide from Possum Hollow that they make. I think they are in Nova Scotia.

Some of the distributors on the Possum Hollow web page don't carry Possum Hollow products anymore or at least they don't come up in a search on their webpage.

I would try calling Possum Hollow first.

Thanks Jasper.

I found that Bore Tech has custom collars for their bore guides. Their standard diameter is .695/.700". They don't say what the diameters are of their undersized or oversized custom collars are but, from their pictures, the undersized looks like it might fit in a Howa mini. Might need to email them & ask.

You could take a standard Bore Tech collar & turn it down to .620" for your Howa mini.
