Big brown truck is bringing mine back from RMA. I want to give a huge shout out to GUNNER and Tory at B&C;. Thank you very much. I like the product, but the service is excellent!

I got out last weekend to shoot mine after I got it back from RMA. It is so much nicer than the factory stock. The rifle shoots and works great, no feeding issues. I also had a fast turn around and am happy with B&Cs customer service.

Mine feeds so much better now! One mag feeds 4 (the original mag I have), the other 2 newer mags usually feed all 5.

Mine feeds all 5 without fail. Thank you B&C for fantastic work.

So are the B&C stocks in production and available now?
Bell and Carlson #1003 Howa Mini Stock. Feed issue topic. - Taz575 - 06-11-2019
Yes

Sorry, not a B&C issue, but possibly a similar feed issue...
I HAD feed issues with my 6.5 Grendel mini action Howa on a Boyds At One stock, however, I was able to fix it pretty easily.
The problem I was having was the front of the bullet itself was not clearing the ramp. My snap caps kept catching the ramp right at the tip. This problem also happened with almost every hornady blackout that I fed into it.
The fix - I shaved a very little off of the stock from just above the bottom metal and bedded a nice flat plain for the bottom metal to sit in. In all, I think I removed only about 1/32 of an inch at most to get everything to feed right.
Second fix - Same gun, same barreled action... I decided to add pillars and was able to cut the pillars to the length that fit the exact length after I had shaved a little off and bedded the bottom metal. I then took those pillars and shaved them down another 1/32 of an inch (not that I needed to, but since the bullets just barely cleared the ramp [100% of the time], I figured a little more room for comfort wouldn't hurt. Today, the pillars, action bedding, and bottom metal bedding are all in place and my baby feeds like a CHAMP!!!
Ever since I did the first slight reduction in the stock at the bottom metal, I haven't had a single feed issue AT ALL. Since doing the pillars, I also have not had a single feed issue, not even one.
I have pics, but not accessible at the moment. Can check my IG account for some pics (I think they're still up) @gun_hobbies

PS: I also have the 6.5 Grendel Howa mini action in the MDT LSS chassis and without ANY modifications, there has not been a single feed issue.

Hey guys ,thinking about purchasing the stock . So,are the issues worked out ,or is it still a buy it & send it back if it doesnt feed? Thanks
Bell and Carlson #1003 Howa Mini Stock. Feed issue topic. - Taz575 - 06-28-2019
Buy it; they will take care of it. Howa has really sloppy tolerances for their magazines
Bell and Carlson #1003 Howa Mini Stock. Feed issue topic. - hill37 - 06-28-2019
It is not like Howa to be sloppy. Could Legacy be subbing cheap mags?
Bell and Carlson #1003 Howa Mini Stock. Feed issue topic. - Taz575 - 06-29-2019
The plastic mags suck. They need to offer a regular internal mag/bottom metal like on the full size 1500.

You better start calling aftermarket shops. Howa/LSI is never going to offer that.
Heck we can even get them to change the setup to a metal bottom metal like what DIP has made for us.

Have all the feeding problems been fixed with the Howa Mini Action B&C stocks?? I'm about to order one from Stocky's. No real rush as they are all currently on backorder.

I ordered mine direct from Bell and Carlson Sunday night. It arrived on my doorstep yesterday morning. The stock is a beautiful fit and finish. I am very impressed by the product and service this company provides. Now I have ants in my pants having to wait to get it out to the range.
