    Gunsmithing Farrell vs Warne Steel Bases for Howa 1500

    Hi, Ken Farrel's fully slotted picatinny 20 MOA one piece steel base for the Howa 1500 is supposedly "taller" than his other version which isn't fully slotted (they may not be making these anymore, not sure). Does anyone know what the height difference is (if any) between the Farrell full...
