Enjoy. I've been running mine for over a year now, it's a good improvement.

Just installed it, easy as pie.

It is a custom made bottom metal that enables a Howa Mini gun to use CZ single stack magazines.

HokeyPokeyMan made them for us.

The Mini gun is a superb gun with horrible bottom metal and awful mags.

I just bought a new Howa Mini bolt action in 6.5 Grendel. I know about the bottom "metal" and mags. Tell me how to go about getting what you have in this picture.

Look on this forum for HokePokeyMan on this forum, he’s really a good guy.
He’s making a new run of bottom metal as we speak. He has had trouble getting materials to make them recently.

I think this run he is making bottom metal with a drop plate, this is what I really wanted, but I couldn’t wait for them to go into production……… he had one prototype of a CZ mag setup and sold it to me……it works flawlessly.

Link for Jefferson Outdoor, the maker of the OPs bottom metal:

The bottom metal with the drop plate isn't included yet & the CZ version is out of stock. Keep checking the website for updates when they're for sale again.

The next run of parts are on the equipment as I type this, another delivery of material arrived on Friday right before new year weekend.

I am working late nights trying to get the CZ conversion trigger guards back in the store.

Thank you very much. I am new to this forum and new to the 6.5 Grendel. I've always thought it is an interesting cartridge and the Howa mini action a great idea. I, like other, am not happy with the cheap plastic bottom and magazine. I'll keep checking the Jefferson Outdoor link.

Will the bottom metal accept the 3-round CZ mags or only the 5-round mags?
Thanks,


Feast your eyes on this you mini gun boys!!!! - HokeyPokeyKid - 01-09-2023

It will accept both 3 and 5 round magazines but if you plan on using the 3 round magazines you will need a shorter magazine release. Which is currently in line for production.


Feast your eyes on this you mini gun boys!!!! - UsAndThm - 01-10-2023

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'll be keeping my eye out on your website.

can anyone post a pic or two of rifles with the cz magazine bottom installed on a rifle?

Sorry it took so long Stinky, I was in the woods for days with bad service.

a work of art, nice color choice on that stock, I'll be able to add my own soon, stock should be here soon and I don't think we're far off on next batch of bottoms from the maker of these works of art Wink, thank you

I'm loving my CZ bottom metal. Only a hundred rounds through it so far but not one hitch.

Another sharp looking build if I do say so myself!
