But I wish I had a heavy barrel in it. Can I switch the standard barrel out for a longer, heavy barrel or is the mini action not able to take it?

What is the radius of the front and rear scope bases on the Howa 1500 out of curiosity? I would like to machine my own one day.

Or are the receivers threaded differently?
