    CLOSED Howa Mag Release and Floor Plate Group Buy - DIPinc

    This group buy is for two new DIPinc products.
    • Aluminum Mag Release Lever (Extended Magazine Catch)
    • Magazine Base Plate

    Both of these are specific to the Howa mini-action. They are designed and made by DIPinc with input from the Horde. These are machined from Aluminum here in the states and are anodized in the USA as well.

    The magazine catch changes the direction of the release mechanism. With the factory lever, you pull it back towards the mag/trigger guard. With the new release lever, you hook your finger under it and pull down, away from the stock. This is very low profile.


    Besides the plastic "bottom metal", the mag release has got to be the biggest complaint about the Howa mini-action. DIPinc has came out with a solution for this as well. These are machined out of aluminum and anodized. They should be on the DIPinc web site shortly. Availability is for-casted to be in the next few



    The magazine bases work with the "Flush" magazine mod (thanks to all the guys here who pioneered and documented that mod). That was one of the design features they incorporated into the base. They did not change any other dimensions so the base will work with the stock un-modified mags as well.



    Here is how the group buy works.
    It will be like the trigger guard/mag well group buy for those that remember it. All DIPinc can offer is free first class shipping for individual parts. However if you order both parts DIPinc will toss members an additional 10% off. When you order you need to put in your forum user name (mine is Frontier Gear) and the forum name (6.5 Grendel Forum) in the comment box. When they are ready to ship, DIPinc will remove the shipping charge. You will need to select "First Class" for the shipping during check-out. Anything else will be charged as to what you picked for shipping.


    I would like to thank Bob at DIPinc for taking a gamble on us and for making the much needed parts that help turn the Howa mini action from a good rifle to a great rifle.

        Bob and the gang over there are good people. Very glad this is going on. If it’s still open after Christmas shopping is done, and I’ve still got money, I’m all over this. FG, thanks much sir.

          I'm in, I've nearly lost my magazine 2x this season and I've not been out all that much. The bottom metal was a great improvement and this will make it even better!! Thanks

              These just showed up in the mail today. They look great and fit perfectly. They even worked with my modified (cut down) mag. The look and feel of the rifle is hardly recognizable now compared to when I first got it in the LSI configuration. Besides a suppressor, the only other mod this rile may get is a different three position safety if that is ever sold commercially.

                  Probably. I kind of like the plastic feed lips though. They don't scratch up my brass like all the AR Grendel mags do.

                    My mag plate and release button came in just a bit ago, already got them installed. Frontier did yours add even more holding pressure? Man mine has a heck of a bite on the mag now.

                    I noticed when I put the new bottom metal on the other day it had more but now it is like double the pressure not a bad thing at all but just was wondering if yours felt any diffrent.

                      Yes, I noticed that as well. Makes me wonder why they weren’t like this in the first place. I’d like to get another mini in 300blk when they come out in 2019. It will get these same upgrades.

                            Just a heads up. This group buy will close at the end of the month (January).
