WR SHORT ACTION DETACHABLE AICS MAGAZINE FLOORPLATE BOTTOM METAL TRIGGER GUARD - HOWA 1500 / M1500 SHORT ACTION - the best Howa Detachable Magazine Conversion Kit - WEATHERBY VANGUARD SHORT ACTION - MOSSBERG 1500 SHORT ACTIONMade from billet aluminium and hard black anodised finish. For detachable AI / AICS design and pattern short action length magazines for cartridges such as 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 6.5CM, 308, etc.DROP IN FIT to the factory standard rifle (no inletting or modifications required). Price A$155ea. Available Now. 110gr (3.88oz).
Some of the WR Howa 1500 Short Action drop in fit floorplate advantages are: - Made to allow the use of the very common and readily available AI and AICS pattern short action magazine (see note below). - Long release leaver for simple and rapid mag changes. Well weighted release lever return spring. - Larger trigger guard for shooting with a glove, and wider trigger guard as a possible support and prevent accident trigger bump. - Uses the factory take-down screws. Tension to 6Nm, 4.5 ft-lbs, 54 in-lbs, or as required by your stock composition and experience. - Heavily chamfered mag port entry for magazine inserting speed. - Extended integrated magazine well to ensure smooth and effective mag insertion and removal. NOTE1. Check the bolt stroke length. The factory bolt stop length determines the cycle stroke length to pickup the round from any magazine. If the bolt stroke is insufficient to cycle back far enough to pickup a round from a detachable magazine, then a very quick and simple bolt stop modification is needed. NOTE2. All our WR AICS short action pattern magazines come with the top rear of the magazines chamfered to allow immediate use in the Howa 1500 short action. Without the modification, such as in other brand magazines, the top rear of the magazine hits the Howa trigger body boss. A fix for this is very simple.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING AICS MAGS IN HOWA SHORT ACTION RIFLES.When using any AICS mag in the WR Howa SA floorplate or with any floorplate or AICS compatible chassis...
WR AICS mags with HOWAincorporated Drop-In relief.
The WR AICS magazine comes with the Howa relief chamfer in the top rear to fit into the short action Howa recevier without hitting the trigger boss. Makes for a drop in fit with the WR Howa Floorplate (see the Howa floorplate for details).
For 223 Howa 1500 SA, the bolt stop will need to be shortened by 2.5 to 3.5mm for the bolt to cycle far enough to the rear to pick up and strip the rounds.
