It won't be a direct fit if the handguard is made for standard 5.56mm barrel nuts.
The 15-22's barrel nut is not similar, but it can be converted rather easily to mimic one. Tacticool22, who is a regular poster here, offers a barrel nut to do so for about $25. Keep in mind, you'll need the 15-22 barrel nut wrench to remove the original barrel nut.

Word to the wise, whenever you are doing work on the barrel, muzzle, barrel nut, hold by the steel barrel, using a non-marring clamp. Do not hold by the plastic upper receiver.
