The general director of the developer and manufacturer of these weapons, Vladimir Zlobin, in his interview with the news agency, said that he is now in steady demand in the arms market and about new rather interesting developments. Check here for more information about creedmoor.
We did not produce rifles like the T-5000 . A lot of know-how is implemented in it. The barrel is made of stainless steel using a single cut method. The muzzle diameter is 23 mm. The caliber of a bullet is measured according to the terminology accepted in the world. It is perfectly calibrated in terms of ballistics 308 Win, which corresponds to 7.62 mm and 338 Lapua Magnum, approximately 8.6 mm.
The M1500 6.5 creedmoor was a completely new rifle, following the Howa Golden Bear hunting rifle that Howa Industries had previously produced. In developing the M1500 6.5 creedmoor , Howa used the Weatherby Mark V, which was produced by Howa Industries from OEMs, as a reference. However, while the Mark V has a 54 degree opening / closing angle, the M1500 6.5 creedmoor uses a more general 90 degree opening / closing angle.
The M1500 is currently one of three large-bore bolt-action rifle platforms manufactured in Japan, and is marketed as the representative Howa rifle not only in Japan but around the world. The rest are Browning AB3 and X-Bolt platforms, manufactured by Miroku, based in Kochi, Japan. According to the mechanism of the bolt action, it is classified as a one- piece Mauser-type design with a branch hole. The trigger mechanism is a two-stage trigger that improves shooting accuracy. In 2011, a new two-stage trigger system was introduced called HACT (Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger). The safety device is a relatively primitive design that locks the trigger, but it uses a US patented three-position system that has a safe position in which only the trigger is locked and a safe position in which the bolt is locked at the same time as the trigger.
The internal magazine can hold 3-5 rounds, which can be loaded through an open bolt, similar to the Type 38 infantry rifle. For models sold overseas, there is an option for a detachable box magazine system for the Model 1500. These magazines are available in 5 and 10 rounds. The barrels are chrome rather than chrome plated like the Type 64 rifle . Barrels are offered in sporty lengths, weights and profiles, as well as Varmint lengths and weights. All pistols circulating in Japan are fired at Toyokazu, and a paper test target is included with each new rifle.
The Deluxe model is equipped with an open scope and a model for hunting the blind Warmian known as the “Heavy Barrel”. Both versions are available in either burnished or stainless steel, with a total of four models available, regardless of caliber. Available gauges with a short and a long gauge including, in addition to others, .22-250 , .223 Remington , .204 Ruger , 6.5 × 55 mm , .300 Winchester Magnum , .308 Winchester , .30-06 , .338 Winchester Magnum , .375 Ruger , so the user can freely choose according to his purpose. In 2015, Howa introduced “mini action” for the .223 Remington , 7.62×39 , 6.5mm Grendel . Since the introduction of mini action in some markets, short action is now referred to as “standard action”. For overseas export, barrel devices with a firing mechanism are also supplied in cut-down form to various manufacturers of small arms.
