Where are the Howa 1500 Mini Grendel Magazines?

[stonehog]

I got the 6.5 Grendel standard 22" barreled action from Brownells, and my stock (B&C) arrived, so now I need a magazine (and scope mounts) to get this thing shooting. Any idea where I can find a mag or two? They seem to be out at Brownells.

The howa mini actions I got from Brownies all came with a mag, action screws and the bottom metal, mmm, plastic.
And the B&C, doesn't the plastic and mag and all fit for it?
Out of all that, the weakest part is the bottom plastic...
There are a couple alternatives for that who operate on this forum, and even one that converts it into a blind box.
DIPinc, jefferson (hokeypokeykid) and oregonsmithing...
As for mags themselves, yeah they are scarce.

Avoid the headache of Howa's mags.
Get one of these when they are back in stock. https://jeffersonoutdoor.com/howa-mini-cz-bottom-metal/

x2 on that, I have that cz kit and Jefferson's hinged bottom kit, I really dig the hinged bottom kit, love the cz magazine kit over the factory plastic garbage, if to do over and choose 1...it would be the hinged bottom, hope that helps, the sleekness just suits the action once in a properly scaled better quality stock and the cz kit feeds a little stiff on the first round or two while the hinged kit was steady throughout all 4, you can remedy the cz magazine spring to reduce the stiffer first or second round feeds of course, not hard to bed a spring a little but just overall having played with both my current flavour is the hinged, one day I may put the cz kit on and decide it's the flavour of the month lol...maybe you have to get both also? lol

I'd be patient. I got mine from Brownells 6 months after I purchased the barrelled action. Make sure to sign up for in-stock alerts. Brownells uses those alerts to help them gauge interest.

My heavy barreled action came with one, several years ago. I'd be upset if it didn't.

I have a ticket in with Brownell's support via website chat. You should do the same so they are aware that they are shipping these without magazines included.
