Does not come with bottom metal
I purchased the barreled action in February. The original pictures of the stainless version showed silver bottom metal. When I picked the action up from dealer the action came with plastic black trigger guard, mag well not metal not silver. I think the barreled action is good just Brownells miss represented the product.

Howa mini 6.5 grendel 20" S/S barreled action
It's advertised as having a 1/2-28 threaded barrel it's not. More like 1/2-20. Now I'm stuck trying to find an adapter. Did not even find one listed on Brownells. One other thing these are brand new barreled actions and come with the older style bottom metal. The one with the unprotected mag release. I know because I purchased a 6mm ARC complete rifle and it has the newer bottom metal. On a good note it is accurate.
