The following AR accessories
will work with the 15-22:
- Milspec adjustable stocks
- drop-in modular fire control groups
- standard fire control groups
- FCG reduced power springs(hammer & trigger)
- pistol grips
- rail mounted front & rear sights
- custom magazine release buttons
- Optics
- rail mounted accessories
- Muzzle devices (1/2x28 thread)
The following AR accessories
will not work with the 15-22:
- Standard safety levers (since the 15-22 lower receiver is wider, standard safeties won't fit)
- Ambi-safety levers (same reason as above) ***
- trigger guards (the 15-22 trigger guard is not removable)
- magazines (obviously..) or magazine well-based safety locks
- bolt release (different dimensions)
- Charging handles (different dimensions)
- barrels (15-22 is proprietary - no aftermarket)
- * handguards (free-floated or standard 2 piece) (can with modification)
- dust covers
- upper receivers (the 15-22 lower is wider and the other dimensions are not the same as an AR lower)
* can be installed with a replacement barrel nut, delta ring assembly, and a modified front sight post**/gas block** (search the forum for the how-tos)
** the 15-22's barrel diameter is smaller than an AR barrel. Fixed AR front sight posts & gas blocks won't fit without shimming the barrel opening
*** Battle Arms Development is working on a 15-22 version of their ambi-safety
...I may have forgotten some stuff from each list.
