Some howa's are starting to show up that's for sure, I've seen a couple places with the 20" HB rifle back in stock.
Let me also take a minute, about those mags... I've picked up a 20" HB and shooting it (again, had one once before btw) ...
Legacy has apparently done some work on the mag fit-up and mag release. The release is now a much shorter lever, and stiffer spring, so it's not real likely that you would drop the mag in the field. Matter of fact I have to really put some force on it sometimes with a second hand helping, to get the mag released. Actually too stiff for what I prefer but definitely an improvement on what was one of the most aggravating features in the older models.
The one I sold recently, a 22", also had that shorter, stiffer release, and in an oem-type stock (an HTI from brownells), the mag fit up and fed much better than it did under the older model.
So they did do some work on them, which is appreciated.
