Hi,
First post. I have the MA compliant 2nd Generation M&P 15-22.
I would like to make my rifle look a little more like the classic AR 15.
I will add a carry handle.
I would like to cut the handguard back a couple inches and put a Tactical AR front sight on it.
I was planning on buying a barrel nut wrench on Amazon for $20.
Remove the handguard, cut it back a couple of inches on a bandsaw, and then add an AR front sight from Tactical foe $45.
So, will the end cap thing (near front sight) re-attach to the hand guard if I cut things so that the end cap's prongs will grab correctly?
Think that will work.
Seems like a cheaper way to get the look I'm after.
Thanks,
Peter
