Oregunsmithing Offering Howa Mini Bottom Metal (Hinged Floorplate)

[Dinny]

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
