Howa Micro Mini project.

[weagle]

Got it roughed it. Put a conduit clamp on the barrel for a rough guide and cut the barrel with a medium tooth hacksaw. I try to get it roughly square, but it will be squared off with a file and the piloted crowning tool will cut the crown square to the bore. I cut it to about 16 3/8" to leave plenty of room work with the crown if needed. The section of barrel I removed weighed 5oz. I also cut the forend back 3". That piece weighed 3 oz. The rest of the stock will be slimmed up so the contours look right. I also cut down the magazine for more of a flush fit to the bottom of the stock. As it stands it weighs 5lb 7oz.

Sorry for the poor quality cell phone pics
