Howa HWH762 1500 7.62x39mm 22" 6-Round Threaded Barrel Carbine

The Howa HWH762 1500 7.62x39mm 22" 6-Round Threaded Barrel Carbine delivers reliable intermediate-cartridge performance in a compact, modern platform built for tactical operators, hunters, and civilian marksmen who demand durability without compromise. Chambered in 7.62x39mm—a globally standardized military intermediate round—this carbine bridges the gap between AR-platform familiarity and Howa's proven bolt-action engineering. The 22-inch threaded barrel enables seamless suppressor integration, muzzle brake installation, or flash hider mounting, giving you the flexibility to configure the rifle for precision, noise reduction, or rapid follow-up shots depending on your mission profile.

Built on the legendary Howa 1500 action—a battle-tested design trusted by military and law enforcement worldwide—the HWH762 combines cold-hammer-forged barrel integrity with Howa's tight tolerances and smooth bolt cycling. The 6-round magazine capacity strikes a balance between capacity and practical carry weight at 11.38 lbs, keeping the rifle maneuverable in CQB transitions or mounted operations while maintaining precision accuracy. The threaded barrel features standard 1/2x28 pitch threading, compatible with most commercial 7.62x39mm suppressors and muzzle devices, and the compact 46.2-inch overall length makes it ideal for vehicle storage, building clearance, or rapid deployment scenarios where full-size rifle handling becomes a liability.

Law enforcement carbine shooters, precision hunters pursuing medium game, and civilian tactical practitioners benefit most from this platform's proven reliability and ergonomic simplicity. Bolt-action design eliminates gas-tube maintenance and fouling concerns common to piston or direct-impingement AR builds, making the HWH762 an excellent choice for suppressed shooting where reduced cycling velocity remains less critical. Picatinny rail tops on modern Howa 1500 variants enable optic mounting for extended-range work, and the short action cycles cleanly even under heavy suppression, making it an ideal choice for precision interdiction, designated marksman applications, or tactical carbine competitions where reliability and shot-to-shot consistency outweigh capacity.
