If someone could make a Howa Mini mag for $35-$40 in metal that would meet or beat the common prices for the plastic ones. I've seen the regular plastic 5 rd ones for as low as $25 on super duper sale, but commonly they're like $40 for the really cheap. I would be very happy to pay the same price for a metal one with more of an anti-tilt follower because something that annoys me a lot about the plastic howa mags is how flimsy it feels around the feed lips and the follower feeling very tilty.
Love the rifle overall and the placement of the retaining tab on the front of the mag doesn't bother me. but the cheap chintzy feel of the mags is the only major drawback
