New member here.

Just picked up my base model 15-22 for $409 out the door local (and the mosin for $99)

The day they came home (with 300 rounds through it the day I bought it)

After browsing the forums I decided to tacticrayola it.

Here are a couple shots of my setup:

Did some more. The front and back made a huge difference.

That is pretty sharp. What tool did you use?

Here are some updated pictures of my son's 15-22. Replaced the primary arms red dot with an Aimpoint t-1 on a Knights Armament mount, LMT cut and polished trigger with jp yellow springs, and B.A.D.A.S.S. ambi safety. He recently competed in the Central FL Defensive Carbine Club 2 gun shoot with this gun and finished 33rd out of 48 adult shooters. He is 11 btw ;-)

How do you keep the bolt from releasing when you eject a mag? I just bent a BAD lever to fit, but I am stuck with this problem. From looking at your photos, you have this issue too?

Ideas?

 

[wricksta]

I did not bend the BAD lever at all. When I handle the weapon the bolt has never released when ejecting the mag. It has happened to my son a few times. I suspect he may be bumping the BAD lever as he's releasing a mag. He has been drilling his speed reloads and tac-reloads and it hasn't happened for a while.

 

[xxspudxx]

I decided to bend the lever, did not want to modify my registered lower.

Maybe my mag release comes out further than yours. Humm....

 

[wricksta]

with the bolt locked back, can you post a picture of your bad lever?

 

[Gopher Slayer]

That is pretty sharp. What tool did you use?

I used a Dremel brand soldering/woodburning kit. The finest tip worked the best for me on my test pieces, so that's what I used on the mags and afg2.

Grab a beer or two or ten and start at it, it takes a while. The longer you hold the hot tip to the polymer, the rougher it gets. I went with a medium texture.

 

[xxspudxx]

Bent it a bit more, and was able to get one more rotation on the mag release. Works fine now.

Looks like the bolt release is moved a bit forward on the 15-22 vs a real AR.

The bolt will still drop if you push the mag release in too far. Not an issue though.

Now to sand and paint.

 

[xxspudxx]

Oh, make sure you get it nice and hot with a torch while bending. Go slow and reheat often.

Here's the comparisons of the BAD lever on the 15-22 and one of my ARs:

All pictures taken with bolt locked back.

Very nice Larue you have there. I have a lower sitting in the safe.

 

[wricksta]

lol Thanks! A fellow Larueminati ;-)

It's a 16" predatAR 5.56. My favorite rifle. I have a 7.62 predatOBR on order, hopefully I'll get it at the end of the year.

It looks like your trigger housing has been cleaned up compared to a standard 15/22 which allows the BAD to work as advertised. Is that true?

KBK

 

[wricksta]

Yes. I took a dremel to the receiver in order to make enough clearance. Easy to do.
