I admit they could have done a better job with the mag design. I handled a Howa Mini in 7.62x39 a few months ago, and that was just about the only thing I didn't like about it. Not sure exactly what they were thinking. Having said that, I've seen aftermarket bottom metal for the mini that puts the release in between the mag and trigger guard, and that accepts standard mags. Pricey, but at least there is that option. I would have preferred a double-stack mag that didn't protrude much below the stock, as I plan to hunt with mine and carry it in the hand.
