Only "issue", and it really isn't one...is the metric barrel threads, it's just a matter of finding a smith that doesn't mind metric.
Actually, the 1.5mm pitch threads of the howa are so close to 16tpi that you can simply open the howa receiver up to 16tpi during truing and then have normal inch friendly threads just like a trued Remington 700.
