Howa 1500 Barreled Action

The Howa 1500 Barreled Action stands as a premier foundation for custom rifle builds, offering exceptional accuracy and robust durability for hunters and precision shooters across New Zealand and beyond. This core component combines the renowned Howa 1500 action with a high-quality hammer-forged barrel, providing a versatile platform ready for integration with your preferred aftermarket chassis or premium stock from brands like MDT, KRG, or Boyds. It's the ideal choice for those seeking to create a tailored rifle that perfectly matches their specific outdoor sporting or long-range shooting requirements.

Engineered for consistent performance, the Howa 1500 features a forged, flat-bottom receiver with an integral recoil lug, ensuring superior bedding stability and repeatable accuracy. The one-piece forged bolt is equipped with dual locking lugs and a heavy-duty M16-style extractor, guaranteeing reliable feeding and positive extraction of spent casings, even in demanding conditions.

Further enhancing its appeal, the Howa 1500 Barreled Action includes the highly acclaimed HACT (Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger). This two-stage match trigger delivers a crisp, clean break with zero creep, providing a significant advantage for precise shot placement. Coupled with a practical three-position safety, which allows for safe bolt cycling and unloading while maintaining a "safe" status, this barreled action is a precision-engineered core, ready to elevate your custom rifle project.
