Howa Mini

[trevort]

Just for the record guys I was making a funny. And Greg that would be a cool stock for kerriet's T3 but I'm not allowed to customise it

[GregT]

Don't worry, I'm about to start a build on a Zastava, I might start a long and whingy thread about how shitty it is that I have to use that because I'm left handed

Juzz, I don't quite understand what you're saying but anyway, I don't really care.

Awesome, looking forward to see what butts, etc can be used etc

Anything you could use on an M4 carbine or AR15.

The chassis socket is cut for the buffer tube of an AR15/M4, but the chassis lacks the fixing point for the AR15 buttstocks on a rifle buffer tube. This is not completely necessary as it simply stops the butt from rotating when sitting on the buffer tube. M4 butts don't rotate as they have a keyway down them which engages with the M4 buffer tube which then locks up to the chassis using a castle nut. The photos are of a M4 carbine buffer tube and typical buttstock.

Simply put, ANY AR15/M4 butt can be made to work on the chassis with the correct buffer tube.

I'll be starting on the fixed buttstock tomorrow and once that's sorted I'll start rolling them out. I'll hopefully have the first few production ones sorted by early next week.

Sounds great - I need to look into who else apart from Cleavers sell those things here in Aus now lol

Sounds cool, are you only inletting for the howa mini at this stage? (Reason I ask is that I have a howa .308 varmint that I'm wanting to get into a chassis - haven't fired it yet, but not a fan of the stock lol)

[GregT]

I got the butt I was planning on fitting finished off today, it finishes things off a lot better than the AR 6 position one.







I didn't get a chance to finish the cheekrest, it's adjustable, kind of like a mini version of the ones on my other stocks.

Whitemeat I'll PM you later regarding the bigger Howa.

[trevort]

ok, what is the figure I need in my mind as my savings target????

[Seddo]

Great work Greg, very nice. You are doing your best to make people buy a mini howa!!

[GregT]

I think I might have to buy one myself one of these days Seddo, they are a nice thing.
