Removing Handguard?
Is a tool needed to remove the handguard? I want to wipe and clean under the handguard and apply Rem Oil. Thanks from a new guy.

You have to remove the barrel (out the back of the receiver) to remove the handguard. No reason to clean or oil the barrel exterior I can think of. If you insist you can just do it with a rod and rag.

the hand guard is held in place by the barrel nut. You can either buy one or make your own. Check out the classified section.

Don't have to remove barrel
Don't have to remove the barrel just to clean the exterior of the barrel. There are several "clips" that are molded into the polymer "disk" at the muzzle end of the handguard. Just apply easy pressure to each of them in order to release the disk and pull the disk off the barrel. You can then get between the handguard and the barrel in order to clean the exterior of the barrel.
BTW, I do have the ShooWrench. It's an excellent tool for the 15-22.

Thanks for the kind words HalfSwiss. ShooWrenches will be available through Brownells in a couple of weeks, I'm shipping a large order to them this week. Take care, Shoo

15-22 outside barrel cleaning
I found that using a .410 mop on a thin cleaning rod works really well. I believe in only disassembling things that are absolutely necessary for cleaning. In this case, removing the forend or hand guard to clean the outside of the barrel is just not worth the effort and potentially can cause damage to the gun.

I agree with you. That said, I have 20k through mine and have never felt the need to do more to the barrel under the hand guard than blow dust off it with my air compressor.
