22" or 20" barrel

[Cwlongshot]

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...

I hope ta have my 20" HB this coming weekend. I can then comfirm twist. 

I already have a 22" Howa Mini in Grendel. (NOT Tbreaded). When I bought, ONLY 20" can threaded.  News to me that 22" now comes threaded. Also I see STAINLESS offered!! 
Also as of beginning of the month, Brownells was OUT of HB in 6mm ARC. More due in June 1.
