The Howa ATIK5R250 transforms any standard Howa 1500 rifle chambered in 22-250 Remington from a hinged floorplate system to a detachable magazine platform. This drop-in conversion kit eliminates the need for single-loading through the action, enabling faster reloads and improved tactical flexibility in the field.
What Makes This Different
Unlike permanent modifications that alter the rifle's original design, this conversion kit installs without gunsmithing or permanent changes to the stock or action. The system maintains the Howa 1500's renowned accuracy while adding modern magazine functionality. The 5-round capacity complies with hunting regulations in most states while providing sufficient capacity for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications.
