Compatibility and platform notes

Rifle families supported

This conversion is built specifically for short-action rifles: Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard, Mossberg 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Interarms 1500. If you own any of these platforms, the kit provides a tested path to magazine-fed operation while preserving the rifle’s core ergonomics.

Caliber considerations

The included 5rd magazine is compatible with common short-action calibers like .204 Ruger and .223 Remington. .204 Ruger is an excellent varmint and small-game round with flat trajectory and high velocity; .223 Remington balances controllability, ammunition availability, and effectiveness for target, varmint, and general-range use. When selecting ammunition, match your rifle’s chambering and maintain proper headspace and feeding checks after installation.

Installation and tactical advantages

The kit’s conversion trigger guard and polymer magazine are engineered for straightforward, tool-light installation. The drop-in readiness means minimal bedding or gunsmithing for most rifles in the supported list. Detachable magazines speed reloads, simplify logistics in the field, and make controlled magazine changes during timed drills far more efficient.
