I created the Magazine Modification Post. Wasn't all that difficult to do, just make sure to take off a little at a time. Below is a link to that post.
For those of you that may be interested, figured I would post the modification I did to my Howa 6.5 Grendel. Magazine will only hold 3 now, but fits nice and flush with the bottom of the magazine well. First I cut the magazine just above the engraving below the first rim and sanded it flush with the rim. Used 100 grit first
As far as the bottom "metal" goes, I modified the release button by cutting and sanding it down so it wouldn't be so easy to hit and release the mag.
I also place a Thin Bedding Washer between the Pillar of the Stock and the Bottom "metal" on each action screw and haven't had any issues with Cracking when I Torqued them to 50lbs.

Personally, if I'm wanting to push a 6.5 bullet to its max distance from a magazine feed bolt action! it won't be plugged into a Grendel any way! But please, the Howa use of composite parts isn't cheesy IMO.

Wayne,
is this your post of your Howa for sale over in the buy/sell forum?
Howa 6.5 Grendel 20" Heavy Barrel in N.C.Never fired. Green stock. Will thrown in warne steel bases and rings. New gun. New rings and bases. Would prefer a FTF in N.C. But will ship on customers dime. $650+ shipping to your FFL. Box, papers and everything included.
It would probably sell better if you would stop complaining about it... no offense, just sayin'.
