[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1701971, member: 93138"] Life has interrupted the process. While trying to wrap up some of that I'm dithering on do I have the metal work done, or do I go 'Howage' with a McGowan barrel & do it myself? If I do it I'll go with which ever I can buy for the least, a 7.62x39 or a 6.5G. If I have a riflesmith do it I'll see what they want to work with. My guess is that a 'smith will want a .223 Either way I expect to need the 7.62/6.5G magazine for that aspect to function properly. My general thought is to build it as a "mid-weight" bordering on lightweight varminter. Tempting to go with the McGowan 'Howage' barrel nut just so that I can try different barrel configurations. EDIT: By chance does anyone know what the barrel thread is for these Howa Mini's? [/QUOTE]
