Barrel Shroud Pics

You might want to wait a couple weeks, just got off the phone with them and they said they are coming out with a few more tube styles in 2 weeks. Their "Gen2" tubes will be interchangeable with all the different end caps they have.

Ah man, just when I thought I had my custom shroud design planned out. Guess I can hold off for a couple more weeks

Gopher Slayer,

What brand of quick detach rear sling mount plate is that on your 15-22?

Thanks.

Troy Industries

It required some modification, but I'm glad I went with Troy on this. It's the nicest looking option IMO, and it's rotation limited.

So is anything inside the shrouds protecting the barrel? Or is it just metal on metal? Or is there a bit if a gap to where the inner part of the shroud doesn't actually touch the barrel?

Just put mine in and it looks pretty sweet!

Mine have an air gap behind where they contact the barrel on the non-threaded shrouds,.
There is an air gap behind the 3/4" of threads on the threaded barrel shrouds.
Only one end is closed, the other end is completly open.
If you have a second "cap" the ATF considers that a suppressor because there is a chamber between the two ends.
You will have to pay the $200.00 tax and fill out all the forms for a suppressor, for a shroud that does not suppress.

Just was checking their site again and sure enough, they are in the process of updating their site with the Gen2 end caps and barrel shrouds. This is an awesome idea as you can now mix and match the barrel tubes with end caps. The new barrel tubes are not up yet but it seems like they are still adding to the end cap section.

A bit of a different look....

This is called a "slipover" flash hider made by DPMS. Cost $16.

Does the weight of the shroud make the rifle feel unbalanced? If so, have any of you done anything to the rear to even out the weight a bit?

The 15-22 is pretty much muzzle-light. If anything, the few ounces additional up front will enhance stability.

I agree 110% with this. It's not that follow up shots were that difficult before I added mine, but they are insanely easy and accurate now that I have. It eliminated any recoil / muzzle rise completely (ymmv).

MP15-22 w/ Kinetitech Shroud

Here is my MP15-22 with a Kinetitech Barrel Shroud. Just got it in a couple days ago. Love the new look it gives it.

Does the muzzle end cap screw off from the rest of the tube or is it all one machined piece?

I know the Gen2 are supposed to be able to be taken apart but was wondering if the Gen 1 do the same but are maybe glued together or if it's just a one piece.

The muzzle cap is able to be screwed off.

Great. Now how am I supposed to decide?

 

[TaticalSteve]

Too many to choose

I been looking at the Kinitic as well for my M&P-15. There are so many too choose from... I'm soooo confused.

Glad you were to fund some valuable input here. I still haven't ordered my shroud yet. Decided to add a red/green dot sight first.

Do they make it also for a non threaded barrel?

I kinda like this. Maybe I'll go this route and save some bucks.
