Modernise your Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard hunting rifle with the Adaptive Technologies Detachable Magazine Conversion Kit. This innovative drop-in system replaces your rifle's standard hinged floorplate, transforming it to accept convenient detachable box magazines. Ideal for precision shooting, predator hunting, or stalking big game, this upgrade addresses the common challenge of slow loading and unloading in traditional bolt-action rifles.

With this kit, you can carry spare magazines for rapid reloads and safely unload your firearm without cycling live rounds through the chamber, enhancing both efficiency and safety in the field. This Howa 1500 magazine conversion kit offers a seamless upgrade for your rifle.

Engineered specifically for the Howa platform, this Adaptive Technologies conversion kit is designed to perfectly match the inletting of Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard stocks. Unlike universal kits that may require custom fitting, this unit ensures a seamless swap for rifles with a hinged floorplate, utilising your existing action screws for a secure fit. It is a true drop-in solution for your Howa 1500 magazine conversion.

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

• Drop-In Installation: No gunsmithing is required. The process involves removing two action screws, replacing the old steel trigger guard/floorplate with the new Adaptive Technologies polymer assembly, and tightening the screws. This takes less than 10 minutes, making it an easy upgrade for your Howa 1500 detachable magazine kit.
• Rugged Polymer Construction: Crafted from high-strength, glass-filled nylon, this material is lightweight, reducing your rifle's overall carry weight. It is also completely impervious to rust, corrosion, and scratching, ensuring durability in outdoor conditions.
• Enhanced Safety: The detachable magazine system allows for instant separation of ammunition from the rifle. This feature is particularly useful for crossing fences, climbing tree stands, or transitioning in and out of vehicles, significantly improving safety.
• Positive Magazine Release: A positive-locking magazine release lever is conveniently located just forward of the trigger guard. Designed for easy operation with your trigger finger without altering your grip, it facilitates smooth, one-handed magazine changes.

• 1 x Polymer Bottom Metal Assembly (Trigger Guard & Magazine Well)
• 1 x Detachable Polymer Magazine (10-Round capacity for .223 Rem/.204 Ruger Short Action kits)
• Installation Instructions
