Howa ATIK5R65CR Detachable Magazine Kit 6.5 Creedmoor 5rd Black

The Howa ATIK5R65CR Detachable Magazine Kit transforms the Howa 1500 bolt-action rifle from a fixed magazine system to a detachable magazine configuration. This conversion kit eliminates the need for top-loading ammunition through the action, allowing for faster reloads and tactical magazine changes. The system maintains the rifle's inherent accuracy while adding operational flexibility for precision shooting applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike aftermarket magazine conversions that require permanent modifications, the ATIK5R system installs as a drop-in upgrade without gunsmithing. The factory trigger guard assembly is replaced with a precision-machined unit that accepts detachable magazines. This approach preserves the rifle's original bedding geometry and maintains factory accuracy standards. The conversion process typically takes 15-20 minutes with basic tools.
