- HOWA 1500 / M1500 SHORT ACTION DBM - WEATHERBY VANGUARD SHORT ACTION DBM - MOSSBERG 1500 SHORT ACTION DBM WR FLOORPLATE BOTTOM METAL TRIGGER GUARD - CONVERSION TO AI / AICS SHORT ACTION MAGAZINES DBM - the best Howa Magazine Conversion KitFor detachable AI / AICS design and pattern short action length magazines for cartridges such as 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 243Win, 6.5CM, 308, etc. Note: This bottom metal is a drop in fit, however magazines will not lock in without 1 of 2 changes - if the magazine rear can be chamfered, or cut/file the boss on the receiver at the inside rear of the mag well - both these changes are quick and simple. PN: 1021, Price A$155ea. AVAILABLE NOW. Weight: 110gr (3.88oz).
Some of the WR Howa 1500 Short Action DBM drop in fit floorplate advantages are: - 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 entry port 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 receiver body boss at rear of the magazine inlet port. 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...
Some WR AICS mags have anincorporated HOWA Drop-In relief.
Some WR AICS magazines come with the Howa relief chamfer in the top rear to fit into the short action Howa recevier without hitting the Receiver boss, making a possible drop in fit solution.
For 223 Howa 1500 SA versions, the bolt stop will need to be shortened by 2.5mm to 3.5mm for the bolt to cycle far enough to the rear to pick up and strip the rounds.
