Atlasworx bottom metal for Howa 1500

Post by Wapiti » 20 Nov 2024, 6:31 pm

Hi all,
Anybody used one of these on the above rifle?
I've been wanting to convert a Howa Varmint to the AI-style box mags using a conventional shaped stock, specifically for vehicle shooting off a padded rest, no bipods or prone stuff, and not for walkabout hunting.
It is to be used in a HS Precision Alloy bedded varmint stock, replacing the MDT Field stock I bought with the rifle.

No one? Well I'll give them a go.

I've ordered the stuff and when I've fitted it I'll report back on the chance some people who've been chasing a proper metal detachable mag conversion for Howas can see if it is something that they might consider.

The latest MDT versions of the AI mags are double-stack, single feed and are considerably shorter than the plastic Legacy Sport mags and plastic floorplates.
The Atlasworx aluminium bottom metal also has the mag release at the rear of the mag, not at the front as with the Legacy Sports plastic ones which catches on stuff and the mag falls out.
