VTP Howa Mini Action mag release guard

[Old Bob]

Until your post, I'd never seen this device. What some mini Howa users were doing was shortening the release lever about half its length or shorter to keep those accidental mag drops at a minimum. Others were replacing the lever with one from DIP inc: https://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.asp...&CAT=12462 The DIP lever is on a horizontal plane instead of vertical. I had one on mine until I replaced the trigger-guard with the one from Jefferson Outdoors: https://jeffersonoutdoor.com/howa-mini-h...loorplate/ (out of stock right now but more are being manufactured. Keep an eye here & at JO for updates on availability.
