Howa mini question

I bought a Howa mini barreled action in 6.5 Grendel and rebarreled to 6mm AR (6mm Grendel).
About one minute after I was committed it became available in 6mm ARC.
I used a Boyd’s stock and Oregon Gunsmith bottom metal.
Barrel is a Van Horn, I worked there, retired in December, and made it.
Built as a jackrabbit gun with enough punch to handle larger creatures that might be encountered.

Very nice, hard to beat two tone in wood in my opinion, If I decide to get new barrel on 22-250 it will be similar to your look
 
I'm mental when it comes to that kind of stuff. I see people never headspace ARs and do the same thing you're thinking about. Never seen something bad happen, but why risk it? I just switched a barrel from one custom action to the same exact custom action I bought a few months ago, and still checked head space. Can't hurt anything I guess.

The Howa mini in the MDT looks mint! I'm eye balling one right now.
 
Better get it ordered, you won’t regret it! Mine has shot great groups by multiple people! Plus if you hate it, let me know I’m interested!
 
I think I’m missing something, why doesn’t the magazine work, mine was a grendel barreled action
