Howa Mini Bottom “Metal”, not plastic?

[joshb]

I have searched until my eyes crossed. I remembered reading about an outfit that makes metal bottom metal for the Howa Mini 6.5 Grendel. My memory tells me they were in Oregon?
Help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Josh

I sure like the looks of this better than the DIP I have for my Howa Mini. Looks like it has a internal box magazine. Beats having that ugly plastic magazine hanging down.

Yup! That’s what I was thinking. I’m dressing one up with a hunter style tiger maple stock and was looking for something better.

Does Mamba mag also make one?

The bottom metal totally changes the Howa mini. Sleek and handy when pared with a B&C stock.

This one is on a Boyd's..........makes a really nice rifle!

Is the action and barrel carbon steel on the standard Howa and the Mini action ? Does anyone make a carbon steel or stainless steel trigger guard ?

The link is in the previous posts. I bought one and like it. Well made and it’s metal.

AFAIK, all the aftermarket bottom metal is aluminum. I have one of the hinged floorplate version from oregunsmithing and it is well made but I have come to not like the button latch in front of the trigger guard. I have accidentally released it several times. Think I would prefer the Jefferson Outdoors version if I had it to do it again. What I really would like to have is the solid bottom version if anybody wants to get one and trade since I use my Howa Mini as a single shot varmint rifle. DIP makes good stuff too but I don't remember looking at what they offer.
