I have a S&W model 1500 long action that I have been doing some work to It and I would like to put a detachable magazine in it.. Do you guys know if they make such a thing in metal? I have seen the plastic ones on legacy and from weatherby.. Most BM's I have found are only for short actions. Any ideas? Does anyone have one of the polymer bottom metal kits? If so, what's the quality if them? Thanks

I believe CDI makes one for the Howard, but I don't know if they have it for the long action.

I haven't seen a DBM kit for a Howa long action. Remington long action? Sure. But not the Howa. Yet.

The only long action I have found is made by weatherby.. There has got to be one out there.. Does anybody make these things custom by chance?

You might Google Ken Farrell.

I was looking a long time for a rail that would fit a S&W 1500 short action. No luck until I talked to somebody at Badger Ordinance. He suggested Ken Farrell in Missouri. I'm not sure if they have what you need, but they had what I needed.

CDI is making DBM for the Howa long actions. </div></div>
Outstanding! I never thought I'd see the day when Howa <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">long actions</span></span> would be able to use Accuracy International mags. Let the planning begin!
