Has the Howa Mini 6mm ARC been available on that side of the pond?
It looks as if the bore has indeed been lapped and no, the Howa is not available in 6mm ARC, in fact there are no guns available from any of the major manufacturers in 6mm ARC.
I have fitted the barrel today and chambered it, tight chamber too. Just need to find a trigger now and I know I have a Jewell trigger somewhere. A job for tomorrow as it is late here.
There is no major firearms market here in the UK and oddball/wildcat cartridges are few and far between. I am the only person I know with a .224 Valkyrie (terrific round by the way) or a 6.5 Grendel or a 300 Whisper so just goes to show, none of the major manufacturers want to bring guns over and have them sit on the shelf, they stick to the tried and tested formulas that sell sadly. I try to get people excited about new chamberings but I am (mostly) talking to an empty room.
