Hey all,
So I'm building up a Howa mini in .300BO. I plan to SBR it. I also have a mini action in .223 that's in a Brownells/MDT chassis with ACS buttstock and I really dig it. However since this is going to be a shorty, I was thinking something "foldy" would be better suited. As to chassis, I'm pretty much limited to an LSS or an Elf Owl. The JTAC is available with a picatinney interface for the stock. If I go MDT, would something like the A3 or KNS buffer to PC adaptor work? I was thinking an A3 offset 7" folder would be good. Thoughts? Any other good folder recommendations? I don't need/want something too bulky.

Go MDT.

One of my .308s I put in an LSS Gen 2 with a folding stock adapter and the SCS adjustable stock.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure XLR doesn't make anything for the Howa Mini Action. Don't know if this is a typo or not, but the Accurate Mag (old Howa HCR) one is intriguing. Anyone use this one before?

Accurate/HCR

Your link doesn't show an option for a mini action. Not many people make them. Are you confusing it with a short action?

Maybe. Not sure the size differences between the mini and sa. Looks like the mini bolt is 6" and the SA 6.9"
