The Howa M1500 Fence Line Rifle in 7.62x39mm with a 20-inch barrel, PR configuration (Howa part no. HMFN762HBPR), builds on the proven Howa 1500 barreled action to deliver a dependable rifle chambered in an affordable, widely available AK-pattern cartridge. Howa Machinery has produced the 1500 action in Japan since 1979, and this Fence Line variant retains the line’s hallmark hammer-forged barrel along with a factory sub-MOA accuracy guarantee of 1 inch or better at 100 yards. A crisp HACT two-stage trigger, a 90-degree bolt throw with dual locking lugs, and a spring-loaded M16-style extractor combine for smooth, reliable cycling shot after shot. The three-position safety allows hunters to unload with the safety engaged or lock the bolt for safe transport, and the threaded muzzle accepts a brake or suppressor.
