Having trouble telling from the pic, is this the sported or heavier profile barrel?

 

[mosin46]

sorry lite sporter

 

[vortexyz]

Thanks for the quick reply, been looking for one with the heavier barrel. glws!

 

[mosin46]

not sure but i don't think the minis have a HB model.

 

[vortexyz]

I’ve played with a mini that had the heavier barrel at my lgs. I’ve seen some on Brownells as well.

 

[mosin46]

very well. never saw one and was looking when got this one. howa has disorganized selling here with little way to find what you want.

 

[vortexyz]

I totally agree. They often come out with a slightly different model (like a heavy barrel or a new caliber option) and then it isn’t in their catalog 6 months later. I’ve been eyeing one of the .350 legend mini actions with the hb, but I’ve never seen one, just the .223, 6.5 g, and the x39.

What does the barrel measure at the muzzle?

 

[mosin46]

.577" immediately behind the thread protector

 

[browning442]

Yep def a sporter!

does 5.56 work in this or is it only .223? was always curious on the howa rifles

 

[mosin46]

sure they will "work" but not recommended for all the usual reasons. might be ok with some chamber/ammo combos but i don't do it.

just clarifying as some bolt 223 are for both but have not seen that listed in the howa. thx

 

[mosin46]

wish it was wylde. but like said no reference to 5.56 being ok.
