I have a question that is no double a gunsmithing question, are you able to direct me along that line?
Can a Howa Model 1500 be modified to for a magazine ammo feed?
Yes, a Howa Model 1500 can be modified to include a magazine feed system. It would require specialized gunsmithing work, but detachable magazine systems are available for this model. As part of the conversion process, the gun's stock would need to be altered to accommodate the detachable box magazine system. Remember, this type of modification should always be taken to a qualified gunsmith to ensure safety and functional reliability.
