The longer handguard would allow me to drive out my supporting hand and mimic my shotgun hold.
Can anyone point me to a photo of a 15-22 with a 16" barrel, a muzzle brake and a 15" handguard?

No but I can point out a couple that use 13.5" carbon fiber handguards (Taccom), muzzle brakes (Allchin) 16" barrels and C-More red dots. The setup is designed for speed steel competition like Steel Challenge and Ruger Rimfire. You really want to use it like a 3-gun AR which is similar to some shotgun holds since we have to shoot that also. These 13.5" handguards are only 1.6" in diameter so they are easy to wrap your hand around and or put a couple of fingers around the end of the tube.

Mine is similar to the one belonging to Nolan there except I use an Allchin 15-22 muzzle brake, My C-More is all the way at the front of the rail and I use a Magpul fixed stock. The rest of my parts are in the post there.
The problem with all of the 15" or longer handguards is they are larger in diameter, heavier (except carbon fiber ones) and often put too much weight on the front of the rifle. Before I put the 1.6" diameter Taccom one on I was using a 12.3" AP Custom carbon fiber one on that was about 2" in diameter. I greatly prefer the smaller one. I have a 15" AP Custom railed CF one on my 3-gun AR. It used to have a 15" Samson Evo alloy one and I replaced it to reduce the weight of the rifle everywhere I could.
Anyone fitted a 15" handguard?
