My Granddaughter has a Howa mini action 6.5 Grendel.
The clip falls out with the slightest touch of the release.
Can anyone help me find this?Hissy fit

​​​​​​​I think she needs this, 3 shells is better than NO shells after it fell out a mile back.

Some thought.

Can you just put a small screw in which would make it a fixed box mag??

could you shorten the mag to just 3 shells, so it would fit flush?  seems the plastic can be reworked.  seee   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxLEMfYuIn4

DIP makes metal bottom metal parts for that rifle.  both  DIP and Jefferson make a metal replacement for the factory bottom plastic.




Seems that the mag release lever might be too long, lots of people just sand it down , about 1/2.  I think just loading the mag with 2 shells (3 total) would reduce the spring force that ejects the mag.
For hunting a simple piece of duct tape over the mag would help, if you got the syn stock, no da,age.


just thoughts.  My Tikkas have the same problem.

The clip has to come out to load.
Maybe some kind of pin on the release like a Grenade or fire extinguisher.
Anything but duct tape
