The CZ route,while being well made,simply PALES like everything else in comparison to the JO V2 BDL Bottom. Hint. I'm hard on schit and V2 both weathers well,it is roubust and the design defies an unwanted opening of guts. It also affords the greatest COAL latitude. Hint. Just sayin'..................

The 527 is no more, so eventually the mags will disappear, but I have enough. Haven’t run into any COAL issues, but I usually shoot pingpong balls and my loads may end up in a number of different rifles, so I keep them to standard length, mostly. Was actually kind of an experiment as I already had his hinged unit on my Grendel. Either classes up the Minis no end….. So , there is no way to get the JO's bottom metal to work with the 350 Legend? Am just starting to plan ahead when I ever get around to buying a 350. Thanks in advance.... Joe Doing the right thing is not always the easiest thing. It still needs doing..

Am just starting to plan ahead when I ever get around to buying a 350. Thanks in advance.... Joe Based on input from the maker, his BDL/hinged floorplate model will not work with the 350. This is also noted on the order page for it. His aluminum replacement for Howa's plastic trigger guard works with the Howa mags. It's solid and secure unlike the factory plastic. It's currently the best route to go for the 350. If AscensionIndustries' mags work with the 350, pairing them with the JO's aluminum could be an improvement as well. https://jeffersonoutdoor.com/howa-mini-action-aluminum-metal-triggerguard/

Works well, and if you get the CZ527 M3 mags, they’re pretty flush. For someone that needs a DM, it seems like the best option. What fresh Hell is this?

Works well, and if you get the CZ527 M3 mags, they’re pretty flush. For someone that needs a DM, it seems like the best option. I'd considered it to try with the 350. I didn't foresee playing with OAL for it and liked the flush(er) fit. After searching a bit for mags, trying to verify they would work well with the 350, etc, I finally decided I'd go with what I could get at the time. It does look like a slick implementation. At some point I'm going to shorten one of the Howa factory plastic mags. It won't be flush, but with the slim width of the Stocky's stock should work ok. Even with the Howa mags below the stock line right now, because of the heavy 350 barrel, it still balances decent for one hand carry right in front of the mags.
