HOWA - Howa Mini Action Magazine 5 Rd 6.5 Grendel/7.62x39

Over the course of a year I could never find the magazine that is listed as a 10 round magazine for 223 listed. Turns out these are the same as the original magazine, but with a little snap in spacer on the bottom spring guide. So it's a 5 round magazine or a ten minutes of work 10 round magazine.

Exactly what I needed, thanks Brownells.

I have 3 of these mags for my mini action and so far they work well, as they have a couple hundred rounds through them as of this writing. They feed and function perfectly so I have no complaints there. I am aware that the Howa is an entry level rifle and that manufacturing for this rifle is optimized for low cost. That said, I do wish that the magazines and the mag catch were metallic and not this rather soft plastic, thus 4 stars.

I agree about being surprised with the plastic magazine and lower assembly. Let me know when something in metal is available. I single load so my magazine is now basically a follower. I wish I had bought the heavier barrel

These are the cheapest made mags I have ever seen but the only ones available & they do work, I just don't know for how long. And they took too long to get & were too expensive.
