the poacher Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) ive got a howa 1500 in a .223 i was just wondering if i could convert it so i could use a bullet magazine instead of wats on it,which is you just load the bullets into a chamber.any info much appreciated and what would it roughly cost Edited July 19, 2012 by the poacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Have a look at highland outdoors via google.Just read in shooting sports volume14 issue8 page 76 they do a conversion for the.243 1500. I dont no much about rifles sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olliesims Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yes they do it's £50 for the new trigger guard and £49 for the magazine in either 5 or 10 shot both cost the same Also highland outdoors as I remember is trade only... But if a local gunshop deals with them get them to order you one in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaedra1106 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I had to find 2 washers to space the conversion about 1mm off the action as the bolt was just catching the top of the magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
