AR15/15-22 Picture thread

[ragingyeti]

So a lot of people here have big AR15s as well as their 15-22s. I thought it would be a cool idea to have a picture thread that shows how people set up and use their 15-22s compared to their big brother AR15s. Do you use it for training? Keep costs down at the range? That kind of stuff.

If this is too far off topic for the 15-22 subforum, I apologize. I just thought a lot of people here would get a kick out of seeing the comparison between how people treat their 2 rifles (or more).

I suppose I will start.

I use my 15-22 as a way to keep costs down when going to the range. I wanted to keep it simple so that it has a more classic feel to it (although not retro), and helps me hone my basic shooting skills. Therefore, it is set up as a simple M4 style plinker where I only use irons.

The big one is a custom built AR15 that I use for more serious shooting time and home defense (should the need ever arise).

It is set up with:
Troy BUIS
Troy sling
Magpul RVG forward grip (modified)
Primary Arms Micro Red dot w/ 1/3 riser
Magpul ladder rail covers in Foliage Green
Magpul CTR Stock in Black
Magpul MOE pistol grip in Foliage Green
Magpul BAD lever
Noveske QD endplate

My 15-22 came first. Primary Arms M3, Magpul VG on the MOE edition.

The big AR is a few months old and is getting shot more right now. Daniel Defense 14.5 upper, Palmetto State lower with Magpul gear and Ergo grip. The handguard is getting swapped for rails soon, and I haven't decided on an optic yet.

The 15-22 will get a standard sight block eventually, and a standard 15-22 rear sight is on the way. It's becoming a low-cost trainer when I start shooting 3-gun and similar carbine courses this winter.

The .556 is also an M&P 15 Piston system in carbine length, wish it were a Middy...(next one). It has a Primary Arms M4 clone, OD furniture including a Magpul AFG2 and MBUS sights and Stark integrated grip/trigger guard/QD swivel connector, Midwest Industries quad rail with Ergo ladder rail covers, a UTG LED Cre mounted light, UTG butt-stock pad, CAA cheek rest, BCM gunfighter Mod #4 charging handle...The new M&P 15-22 is MUCH lighter, so hardly a comparison, but I would like it to be a economical training tool...with a tacticool factor. It sports a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot Troy Battle rail covers, its an MOE edition in FDE (so not much more to add to it). I did add an Insight Tech X-2 led mounted light to the bottom rail.

Magpul rear MBUS
Aimpoint PRO
Magpul magazines
Tango down QD VFG
Troy Industries carbine 7" handguards

Viking Tactics 2 point padded sling

The 15-22 has,

Magpul MOE grip
Magpul rear MBUS
UTG folding VFG
Streamlight TLR-1 weapon light

More to come for the M&P15-22 as I'm going to set it up identically to the Colt 6920.

Only pic with them together is the day I brought home the .22. I got it afterwards, to shoot for cheaper...

Bushmaster AR is set up with a Green Dot/Red Laser for fast target acquisitions and usable iron sights.

They are both done in my book I do not get fancy with flashlights and laser beams. I might get the SSAR Stock for Christmas just to play with, I would not leave it on long term.

nice sticks crazy

Here is my pair before I got the A2 front sight for my 15-22 and switched it over to a carbine-length MOE handguard. Aside from the optics, they are now almost identical in setup. If I can swing a Trijicon 1-4x, I'll move the Millett DMS over to the 15-22.
