Modernise your favourite hunting rifle with the Adaptive Technologies Howa 1500 Magazine Conversion Kit. This drop-in system replaces the standard hinged floorplate of your Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard, instantly converting it to accept detachable box magazines.

Whether you are precision shooting, predator hunting, or stalking big game, this upgrade solves the biggest complaint of traditional bolt-action rifles: slow loading and unloading. With this kit, you can carry spare magazines for instant reloads and unload your firearm safely without cycling live rounds through the chamber.

Unlike universal kits that require fitting, this unit is engineered to match the inletting of Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard stocks perfectly. If your rifle currently has a hinged floorplate, this kit will swap in seamlessly using your existing action screws.

Compatible With:

• Howa 1500 (Short & Long Actions)
• Weatherby Vanguard (Series 1 & Series 2)
• Mossberg 1500
• Smith & Wesson 1500

• Drop-In Installation: No gunsmithing required. Simply remove the two action screws, drop out the old steel trigger guard/floorplate, insert the new Adaptive Technologies polymer assembly, and tighten the screws back down. It takes less than 10 minutes.
• Rugged Polymer Construction: Made from high-strength, glass-filled nylon. This material is lightweight, reducing the overall carry weight of your rifle, and is completely impervious to rust, corrosion, and scratching.
• Enhanced Safety: The detachable magazine allows you to separate the ammunition from the rifle instantly. This is ideal for crossing fences, climbing tree stands, or hopping in and out of trucks.
• Tactical Magazine Release: Features a positive-locking magazine release lever located just forward of the trigger guard. It is easy to operate with your trigger finger without changing your grip, allowing for smooth, one-handed magazine changes.

• 1 x Polymer Bottom Metal Assembly (Trigger Guard & Magazine Well)
• 1 x Detachable Polymer Magazine (Capacity varies by calibre choice)
  • Short Action Kits include a 5-round magazine.
  • Long Action Kits include a 5-round magazine.
• Installation Instructions
