    Howa Superlite aluminium bottom metal

    It's taken a while, but the superlite bottom metals are coming off the machine. These ones will take the factory mags. The likelihood of doing a blind version is low for now.

    I've found that the stock work on the factory stock is a bit hit or miss and I've tried to accommodate for that. So some very minor material removal (light file,sand or scrape with a knife)

    They will be going to anodising today and ready next week hopefully

    Price will be $280+ shipping, I have 7 of them.
    There are 3 that have cosmetic blemishes (chamfer not right) that were part of the development process that I'll do a discount on.Name:  20250320_105304.jpg

    Are they drop out mags or hinged floor plate style? Would they fit Weatherby Vanguard?

    Drop out polymer mags, no they won't fit a vanguard. I wish a floor plate was an option but this is still a massive improvement over the factory bottom plastic.

    Mines awesome, once I removed some material from the stock (factory one) that stopped the magazine release from going right back & releasing the magazine properly
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    Some of the factory stocks definitely need a little attention.

    Got mine from Rob yesterday too, drop in fit and big improvement on factory. Nice to be able to torque up the bolts a touch (I cracked the plastic one at less than 35in/lb).
