Legacy Sports International .223 Rem/.204 Ruger~ 10 Rd Sa Floor Plate & Magazine Kit
Legacy Sports
The Legacy Sports International .223 Rem/.204 Ruger 10-round short-action floor plate and magazine kit transforms your Howa 1500 rifle from a fixed internal magazine to a detachable box-mag platform. If you own a Howa 1500, Interarms 1500, Mossberg 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, or Weatherby Vanguard, this drop-in kit gives you the speed and convenience of quick magazine changes without replacing the rifle itself. The 10-round capacity in short-action makes this kit ideal for hunters and range shooters who want higher volume without bulk.
Installation is straightforward: the kit consists of a reinforced polymer floor plate assembly and a 10-round detachable magazine that replaces your factory hinged floorplate and triggerguard area. Just remove the original parts and install the new bottom metal—no gunsmithing required. The injection-molded polymer construction keeps the assembly lightweight and durable while holding down cost. You can save your factory components if you ever want to return the rifle to its original configuration.
This kit is not compatible with the Howa 1500 Superlite. Assembly screws should be torqued to 30–35 inch-pounds. Additional magazines are available separately if you want to maintain multiple loaded mags in the field. Whether you're stocking a hunting rifle or setting up a range gun, this detachable magazine system delivers the versatility of modern sporting rifle handling without the price tag of a new firearm.
