Are Howa mag conversion kits worth it?

[Playboi]

Has anyone tried a Howa magazine conversion kit? I'm looking for real-world feedback on fit, feeding, and any issues, help share what's worked and what hasn't, thanks!

I haven't tried a Howa mag conversion kit myself, but I'm interested, has anyone had fit or feeding problems?

I put a Howa mag conversion kit on my .308 a while back. The fit was tight, and there were no mods needed, and feeding's been smooth with factory mags. After a couple hundred rounds, there were zero hiccups so far

I also tried a Howa mag conversion kit on my .308 and it worked out pretty smooth once I found mags it actually liked, it is worth it if you want quicker reloads and less fumbling in the field

That’s really helpful, thanks for sharing, I was mostly worried about feeding reliability over time, so hearing yours runs smooth after a few hundred rounds is reassuring

Thanks! Sounds like quicker reloads and less fumbling make the conversion kit worth it for field use
