Dinny,
maybe mention to Wayne to try to make the trigger guard large enough for a gloved finger to go there... ie a bit oversize from the run of the mill everyday size...
thanks.

I already have the DIP bottom on my mini. If this works out, I might have to get a second one to put it on.

Wayne just called to discuss the input that has been provided. He's using 22ga metal for the magazine and the limit on COAL is 2.45", which is the size of the opening in the action. His magazine will hold 4 rounds. Additional refinements are being made to feed the 6.5 Grendel case and make it a DIY drop in product. Right now the follower feeds but it's not perfect. Wayne has modified one of his actions by slightly changing the approach angle on the feed ramp and that perfected feeding but it's not the complete DIY option that he's striving for. Finally, he's also considering the thickness of the trigger bow. He may be able to thin it some thus creating more space but he doesn't want to degrade durability.
More to follow.
Thanks, Dinny

Thanks for the update Dinny, sounds like he's putting some thought into the final design !

Definitely Interested. This could make the Howa Mini perfect.

I talked to Wayne via email the other day. He's cautious to mention a release date, but said he hopes for the end of this month. The first run will be slow to ship as he still needs to program in the Grendel Monster for laser etching the floorplate and cerakoting will be done in the customer's choice of color.
Thanks, Dinny

Yes, cash is burning a hole in my pocket. Make mine black cerakote and I don't need an engraved monster. I'm holding my breath.

Good deal. Black for me as well. Logo would be a nice touch.
I see a bunch of used DIP bottoms coming up for sale.
