Thread: Flush mag for howa mini

I made a blind mag stock for a Howa mini. I ended up cutting the mag short and sitting it inside the stock. The pain with this is the much reduced mag capacity, but the biggest one is trying to reload the mag.
You need to push the round about half way into the chamber and then slide it back into the mag. With a scope on there is not much room to do this.
The other problem is there are no feed lips on the action so the feed lips have to be on the magazine box. I tried making a double stack internal mag box but feeding was an issue because the feed ramp is designed for a centre feed, rather than rounds coming in from the side. By altering the sides of the feed ramp it might work.
All up it is a lot of work to do and would probably be easier to buy a Zastava mini.
