22" or 20" barrel

[Oso Polaris]

The difference in the 20" and 22" barrel on the Howa Mini is that the 20" is their HVB {heavy varmint barrel and the 22" barrel is their slendor Sporter Profile. The other difference you see with these barreled actions is that the 20" battel is threaded 5/8" x 24tpi, but the 22" barrel is threaded 1/2" x 28tpi.

Something you might want to confirm before purchasing your Howa Mini 1500 barreled action from Brownells...
