Nice looking rifle. Which conversion nut did you use for the Alpha, modified or standard? Have been thinking of adding a FF handguard to mine and had considered the Alpha. Did it leave any gap to speak of?

 

[Hearsedriver]

I used the Modified nut. There is a gap about the width of a dime between the top rails but, I haven't figured out a way to close it yet. I think it is because of the counter bore depth in the standard AR barrel nut. Regardless,it is mounted solid as a rock.

Here it is with its big brother, my 15-OR....

Just got the pink one for my daughter, the original is my son's and the Sig 522 is for me

I'm assuming that you're using the True Shot Technologies A2 front sight. Did you make any modifications to the stock handguard? Is the end cap still installed? I was wondering what my 15-22 would look like with an A2 front sight without shortening the stock handguard. Yours looks pretty good.

No modifications it just slid right on.

I'm going to buy some cheap UTG mounts just to take the screws off and use them for the carry handle. The thumb screws are kinda huge...

These can work if the threading is the same..

man just take the upper and handle down to Ace hardware and get the black, SS, hex or torx head screws for under a dollar each! My local store is down the street and i'm always in there looking for something for a gun that i don't want to pay out the nose for just for a screw. mine has an entire 50 foot aisle of screw bins, SAE on left, Metric on right!

but i agree the big thumb nutz gotta go, i have replaced ever doo-dad, go fast part that has them with hex's

changed my daughters pink 15-22, we haven't even been out to shoot it yet but she loves it

 

[roadkill45]

Are those Justin Beiber backstage passes hanging next to it on the lanyards???????????????????????

 

[Budasac]

They look more like Pit passes from a racetrack to me.

Bingo, I took her to see the beiber, but we didn't go backstage

I have taken my son in the pit at several NASCAR tracks though...

Hey Hearsedriver,

New guy here....

I'm wondering if you would give me a link to the nut you used so I can be sure I'm getting what I want.

I use the same rails you do for most of my stuff so what you have will work well for me.

I'm also wondering (for anyone with an answer) if the 22 gets real front end heavy with the changes and if yall have done anything to weight the rear if it does.

There is a group of us who are going to be swapping parts so I'm trying to get a good idea of what parts are best. We use ours pretty hard and will run them with silencers so I just need to be sure everything will hold up.

Thanks for any info.

Most use the converter barrel nuts from Tacticool22.com. They have two kinds Standard and Modified.

To tighten it you need the spanner wrench: Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Free Float Handguard Converter - Wrench [HGCW-1] - $12.85 : Tacticool22, Tactical .22 Rifle Parts and Accessories

Additionally, you will need to buy or fabricate a tool to remove the factory barrel nut. Tacticool22 sells one too:
Barrel Nut Wrench (Pro) for Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 [BNW-2-A] - $27.00 : Tacticool22, Tactical .22 Rifle Parts and Accessories

Tacticool22 do sell the handguard converter barrel nut and spanner wrench together as a combo, as well as a few other package deals that include the wrench for the factory barrel nut.

Get a pair of barrel vice jaws and a flash hider wrench and you should be good to go. After that you can install pretty much any AR15 freefloat handguard, or you can buy an AR15 delta ring assembly, custom A2 front sight and handguard cap from TrueShot Technologies and install 2 piece plastic handguards like I did:

Awesome info, thank you.

It looks like I need the modified nut, does that sound correct? Basically I need to get to a regular AR bbl nut for the hand guards I use most often. We mostly use the Troy ff tubes, Samson ff tubes, and Fortis ff tubes (they all go to the regular bbl nut on an AR15)

We had to build a tool to get the bbl off (didn't know about the Tacticool22 guys yet) because we remove the bbls for some folks to have them threaded. I work for a suppressor shop and build ARs.

Will a spanner wrench for the castle nut work or is this one for their nut different? (I'm thinking this would be bigger than the castle nut wrench).

Thanks

AFG Came today

Also.. goodbye stupid thumb screws.

I ordered 2 cheap UTG risers. Dethreaded the wing nuts. Tapped the screws out of the carry handle with a hammer, tapped the screws out of the risers with the same method. *Put it on a roll of tape similar to driving a pin out of a gun.) Cover the metal in said tape (electrical here)

Put the low profile screws on the carry handle and threaded on the wing nuts. Everything is flush and there is no marring. It's like they were made for eachother.
