love to see a picture of it.

Hey shawn what could I use to keep the screw in place? I'm going into town today so I'll pick one up.

You shouldn't need anything to keep the screw in place. Mine had to cut threads into the sight base as I drove it in. I'll shoot and post some pictures when I get home in a few hours.

Do you drive the screw in with a hammer?
Or do you screw it in, like a screw?
I think you screw it in. That fancy front sight company should tap their sights and provide a screw, since is is only for the 15-22.

Or.......they could work with one of our excellent vendors who makes free float adapters and put together a package with the adapter, delta ring assembly, barrel nut, handguard end cap, screw, front sight adjustment tool and front sight base tapped for the screw. That would be everything but the handguard. I think that the handguard should be left out due to individual preferences.


And I screwed it in like a screw, driving it with an allen driver. I love my Bondhus Gorilla Grips sets. I just keep losing the Torx set.

Two companies working together? And to the benefit of each company? What is this you speak of?
I'm all for it.

I think it would be cool to see these parts in a limited edition factory gun, but S&W would probably farm them out to China and then nobody would benefit.

Here is mine with the A2 front sight conversion:







Let me know if you have any more questions

Shawn. That is a clean set up. Way to go.

very nice!

planning on making mine look a lot like it only with a 12" barrel

I'd love to SBR mine, but then I'd have to SBR my AR, too. I want to get a suppressor before I worry about SBR'ing things.

Ok well I finally got around to taking a picture of mine. I didn't think taking pics of the delta ring assembly and the handguard end cap were necessary it looks just like shawns.

Very nice.

Looks good. Looks light. I was very happy with the fit of the front sight and like mine brr than the revised version with the rounded HK ears.

Thanks to both of you, couldn't have done it without your help

wow, that looks good.

Mine is coming along nicely, only have received 1 part yet (my nice comp M4), but everything else has been ordered.

The stuff from Tacticool22 is on its way and so is the A2 frontpost.
The magpul stuff has been ordered and the local dealer is expecting it next week.

Also found a gunsmit an hour drive from here who has the deltaring assembly and the front cap.

So I hope to put it all together somewhere next weekend.

Very cool. Be sure to let us know if you have any questions. One of the cool things about converting the 15-22 is that the front sight base isn't pinned to the barrel so you can put on carbine, mid-length, rifle length or anything else and you can change it at will.


...by the way IncredibleMe, is your avatar a pepsi reference?

Will do, you guys helped me greatly so far, as soon as i have pics ill be sure to post them

And nope, its our national flag

The stuff from tacticool is pending at customs, i hope they clear it fast so i can start the transformation this weekend

I hope they don't hold you up too long. You'll like the finished gun. It's also kind of cool knowing yours isn't the same as every other one out there.

Finally got all the parts.

The magpull stuff is yummie.
The A2-frontpost is ok, not amazing.
But the stuff from Tacticool22, wow, they look sooo good. The quality and finish are both excellent.



Going to get the barrel shortened by about 3"

Looks awesome. Thanks for sharing and for the kind words.

Looks great. You should enjoy your 15-22 with the new additions.

Very nice. Happy to see that you got it done.
