Can someone post how the change the pistol grip on the 15-22? I would love to change mine but have no idea how.

1. Check Safety
2. Remove Magazine
3. Cycle Bolt to ensure no rounds are present
4. Turn rifle upside down
5. Look inside grip (see Allen Headed Machine Screw)
6. Find appropriate size standard Allen Key of suitable length
7. Slowly loosen allen screw and be mindful of the fact that there are two springs between the grip and the lower receiver
8. Continue to loosen allen screw until grip can be removed. Again do not lose the springs and do not turn the rifle right side up with the grip removed unless you intend to catch the safety detent and spring and the rear take down pin spring and detent
9. repeat in reverse with new grip

Be careful when mounting the new one as the take-down pin spring can be tricky to get in place without it buckling.
