Thread: Howa short & mini actions - swapping stocks

This is one of those questions I want to ask and then delete afterwards.... however I'm a bit ignorant, and can't find any info online...... but I'm going to be receiving a Howa mini 7.62x39 in the next couple of weeks - the removable mag setup.
I also have access to a Howa short action stock and the bottom plate setup from a .308

I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to just swap the mini over into the short action stock and do away with the mag - or will nothing line up at all and its just a dumb question?

cheers in advance....
