Thread: Kiwi made Howa mini ultralight chassis a reality?

Hmmm. Nervous

It’s taken quite a while and a lot of searching for a suitably sized compact hardcase for the Mini. There’s a gap in internal sizing around the 600mm length. Usually cases top out at 245mm then jump to 700+ or they’re too bulky. Success came from a NZ Airsoft website and at $130.00 delivered, it’s just right.
An ideal job for an average Sunday mucking around with fitment.

Certainly makes it look like a pistol

Certainly makes it a pistol you mean…..



Cringing hard out

biting tongue hard out.....

Go on, don’t hold back. Hate for ya to blow a valve. I’m always up for some input and I don’t suffer hurty feelings syndrome.

I don’t know much about pistol endorsements but its probably not our input you’ll have to be worried about, it’s the coppers.

Right, just for clarification, it seems that I fixated on the flashy orange compact carry case that Wingman posted a photo of and coupled with the perfect little modular bush gun, I thought all my Christmas’s had come at once. I’ve just gone back to the early part of this thread that bought up the whole discussion on legal length and thoroughly reread Wingman’s reply on the subject. As usual the devil is in the detail. I either missed or forgot the part where he mentioned the takeoff barrel mod which allows you to legally reduce the rifle under 762mm as it negates the ability to discharge the firearm. I was aware that I couldn’t have a folding stock but somehow got it in my head that all was good as the stock required tools to remove and so could break it down for transport.Best not chucked in a pack like that either it would seem.

Ah well, something for another time and back to where I started at this stage. The mods can remove the photo if they so desire but I’m okay with it staying up as it’s a demonstrable lesson in what not to do.
Cheers all.

Hi just dont panic Mr Mannering
wait for Wingman to start his sales of the Takedown option .. then you have a case already just have to rearrange some blocks
You have done well with your assembly of the above noise tube in a smart case ..
Cheers to all

Yes, thanks, was exactly where my head went to and I’m very happy with the result so far. Just got so in-grossed with getting everything down to the size I envisioned that I missed an obvious issue.

Youd be ok if somehow the pistol grip and trigger mechanism came off with the butt stock?

Hi Wingman i found an unloved Elude Howa mini chassis @ my second home [WILSONS Hunting etc ]
decided to fit it to the 300 Blackout .This is fitted with a Timney trigger and im having clearance problems
the front of the trigger binds as it goes through the chassis and the safety lever gets all locked up so it wont move
i can do the adjustment to get it fitting myself but just wondered if this problem has come up before
No problem with my 223 with the modded factory trigger
Cheers

Hi mate. Glad someone grabbed that stock. I'm.the guy making them, so I need to alter the model. I'm cutting some now so could you send me pics ect and I'll fix it.
