I visited shooboy's website - can't seem to find a place to buy a Shoo-wrench.

Bought some 1" PVC pipe tonight - followed the PVC-wrench instructions here in the thread. Tried to install the PVC wrench, and found out that it won't fit!!

Yep. I can get it about half-way down the throat of hand guard, and it locks up. Apparently, Smith and Wesson either intentionally or unintentionally is now making the inside of the hand guard with a taper such that a 1" PVC pipe won't fit down inside.

Put my PVC wrench on the belt sander for 15 minutes, and sanded in a healthy taper. I'm getting to a very thin-wall condition, and the PVC pipe still won't touch the nut - although I can get all the way down to within about a half-inch of touching it.

I can already see that there won't be any PVC pipe left when I get the taper down far enough to touch the nut.

I'd like to buy a Shoo-wrench....! Just cant figure out how to contact Shoo....

S&W M&P 15-22 "SHOOWRENCH" BARREL WRENCH - Brownells

ps. For the DYI PVC wrench you need 3/4'' ID, not 1".

I just sent him a PM here on the forum. I do agree that ordering from Brownells is faster; it took about three weeks to get mine direct.

Just got mine in today. Ordered Tuesday and the brown truck delivered this afternoon. Brownells is good to go for the shoo.

You can go here and usually get what you order shipped the same day or next day. Maintenance and Tools : Tacticool22, Tactical .22 Rifle Parts and Accessories

BTW, the original Shoo-wrench won't work with the PC 15-22 unless you take out the nylon insert in the wrench. No biggee but thought I'd mention it.

Hi guys, You can still order from me but I don't usually have wrenches in stock as most of them are shipped to Brownells for resale. I do need to let Brownells know that the Shoowrench will not work with the Performance Center model of the 15-22. I'm not on the Forum much lately as time for me has become a real issue but I'll make more of an effort to check my PM's here more often. Thanks as always, Shoo
