Howa Mini with CZ magazine

[HokeyPokeyKid]

I got my first trial run back from the anodizer today and overall I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

I might make some cosmetic changes but the magazine lock up and feeding is good to go.

HokeyPokey,
As soon as I can get 2 mags, I'll take one. Any chance you'll sell the mags as well?

[HokeyPokeyKid]

I would like to sell the mags just to make things easier but I haven't sourced any yet.

[garyrapp55]

I understand, I don't think there's any to be had right now for any of us. If you are able to, please let me/us know. I most definitely want your Howa bottom metal and 2 CZ mags.

Lookin good, I’ll take one! What changes you planning?

A shorter, stiffer magazine release is really the only change I have in mind.

I only have seven finished assemblies so if anyone wants one PM me. I am going to give the members here first dibs.
The rest of the first run are going on my rifles

They are extremely scarce, and out of stock at Cz-USA for a long time. I just bought a 527 in 6.5 Grendel, and I don't have a magazine that I HATE AS MUCH AS THIS ONE!! This is the worst design to load the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round! They desparately need to have a anti-can't design. They suck. Has anybody tried to fix this problem do you know?

[garyrapp55]

an anti-cant design

I fixed it for you.
How is it the worst design?

A boat must have docked. I found some CZ 527 7.62x39 mags in stock yesterday. Today I got an alert from Ammoseek that 4 vendors have stock. Heads up.

I don't know who theses guys are but they claim to have CZ 527 magazines at a good price.

Thumbs up to Hokey Pokey boy. My bottom metal took the CZ mags and ran great for 40 rounds. Howa mags suck.

Yes they are currently on my schedule and being worked through along with other jobs. Hopefully I will have a much larger second batch in early July.
