Howa ATIK5R65CR Detachable Magazine Drop-In Kit, 5-Round, 6.5 Creedmoor, Black, for Howa 1500

The Howa ATIK5R65CR Detachable Magazine Drop-In Kit transforms your Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor into a modern, fast-reloading rifle without replacing the gun. This 5-round drop-in kit swaps out your factory floorplate and triggerguard assembly for a complete detachable magazine system, giving you the speed and convenience of box-mag reloads while keeping your original rifle intact—just save the factory parts if you ever want to return it to stock.

Installation is straightforward: remove the factory floorplate assembly and drop in the new bottom metal. The entire system is built from reinforced, injection-molded polymer that's tough enough for hard use while keeping weight and cost reasonable. This approach lets you gain modern magazine versatility without committing to permanent modifications or buying a new rifle. The 5-round capacity suits hunters and shooters who need reliable performance within standard magazine limits.

The kit also works on rifles built on the Howa 1500 action, including Interarms 1500, Mossberg 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Weatherby Vanguard models—making it a smart upgrade for anyone running one of those platforms in 6.5 Creedmoor. Note that this kit is not compatible with the Howa 1500 Superlite. If you want more capacity later, 10-round magazines are available separately.
