Zmego Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have a 15-22 that I use for tac rifle/3-gun practice and speed steel. As of late I am trying to have it mirror my actual 3-gun rifle as much as possible. I have the same stock, grip, and trigger on both rifles. What I would like to do next is install the same free float hand guard that I have on my other rifle. Has anyone done this? I have read up on it, but it sounds like a pain. Let me know your thoughts on if you found it worth it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyb Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I hated the quad handrail on mine and replaced it with a small diameter Nordic one. It's not hard to do but you do need to get the barrel nut tool and barrel vice to remove the S&W barrel nut. I also needed to buy the tools to install the new barrel nut and the hand guard.

mscott Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I swapped mine out as well. Just get the new barrel nut handguard adapter and have at it. I made my own wrench for removing the factory nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma05 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) M&P 15-22 on the left. Saber Defense M4 on the right. You need to go to Tacticool 22 web page and get the necessary tools and barrel nut adaptor. I would do some reading on it on the M&P forums first since not all hand guards are a direct swap. I had to machine my barrel nut adapter for the Troy hand guard to line up properly "Ex Umbris Venimus" Edited March 15, 2013 by Sigma05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
