Hello all,
I’m looking to build a mini-rifle competition gun from a standard M&P 15-22. I’m basically looking for help to source the parts I’m after in the UK (or from UK postage friendly countries), naturally for the best price!
I’m getting the rifle from Master Class Custom Guns (Andy Haines) who is also going to cut the barrel down to 12” (well, 12” and little bit to keep it legal) £595 +£110 for the barrel chop, thread, re-crown and reproof.
1/ The main thing I’m struggling to find is a CMC 3.5lb trigger, not particularly bothered about flat or curved trigger blade, although the flat one looks ‘cooler’ but I’ve read that it may interfere with a BAD lever, does anyone know if this is correct?). I’ve seen the CMC triggers for sale by LanTac but the 3.5lb ones are currently out of stock and they’re waiting for the export license to be renewed before they can get any more in so that could be anything from 6 weeks to 6 months! Anywhere else do them?
2/ Next thing is an ambidextrous charging handle. I’ve had one the same style as the Plinkster Tactical on another AR-15 style rifle and really didn’t like it. I’ve been looking at the Next Level Armament Scythe which Riflemags.co.uk stock (£60), any other options/better price on the Scythe?
3/ I do want to fit a BAD type lever to my gun but have been reading that the Magpul one needs some work doing to it to get it to work properly/not interfere with the BHO. Is this a big job? Or is there somewhere in the UK you can get the 15-22 dedicated ones from (NDZ Performance etc)?
4/ I’ll be looking to add a sound moderator (suppressor/silencer) to the gun in the near future and I really like Wildcat sound mods so would be looking at their Whisper model. Its an over-barrel/Reflex type and has a diameter of <38mm – can anyone tell me the internal diameter of the standard picatinny handguard? Also, does the ‘plug’ that fits in the end of the handguard/around the barrel stabilise the handguard in any way or is it just for looks/stopping crud getting down in there?
I think that’s all for now (you’ll be glad to hear!) Any info on the above would be gratefully received. I have looked through the forum and while some of the points have been covered, most threads are from a good 3-4 years ago so who/where/what price has likely changed significantly.
Many thanks!

the plug does not touch the barrel and serves no other function and unless you are crawling through the jungles of South East Asia then i doubt it has any use...most i know have popped theirs out.
