Howa 6mm BR build

Because the US government won't let companies export over $100 without a permit and its usually cheaper to use a broker than pay $400 for the permit

Companies with export licences can export. The fee is US$250.
I would email McMillan and ask them, they'll know.

Still out on this one, the project has stalled on account of not wanting to get the wrong stock/chassis.

Do Southfort Labs carbon stocks do anything for you?

Otherwise I don't think you would go wrong with a chassis.

[andym79]

I have been looking at chassis again. The MDT lss and oryx as well as the KRG bravo.

Which of those do you think is the best?

I think the KRG bravo looks best but cost a fair bit more than the Oryx.

Hello Andy. I just built a 6BR on a Howa (Vanguard) action. I just have it in a standard wood stock at present. It’s a b*tch to get to feed from the internal mag of course but I’m single loading it at the moment.

I’m going to try to get it to feed from the mag but may go the AICS mag footprint route with the Primal Rights style spacer kit if I can’t get it to work.

I went 1-7” twist and it shoots the 105g Hornady BTHP very nicely at this early stage of the game.

Just the standard HOWA walnut stock on my custom. Glass-bedded. They are a very chunky forend, not bad for both bagged shooting and also service sling.

What magazine setup you running there in2anity? And does it work?

[in2anity]

bobnob that’s the Lucky13 10-shot kit. And yes it’s 100% reliable. I need the 10-shot as I use it in Service matches (non-service class).

Copy thanks.
