So this is how I installed mine and it was super easy using this method.
1. Receive your handle
2. Remove your current handle and compare. Topside picture.
Lower side picture.
Front side picture.
3. Remove your existing latch and spring by drifting out the retaining roll pin. Use a hammer and choice of drifting device. I used a allen key tool. About 1.5mm if I remember correctly. The pin will come out of the stock plastic charging handle very easy. Do not lose it as you will need it as well as the stock spring.
4. Next, I started the roll pin into the new Tacticool22 charging handle. I tapped it in enough to keep it in place but not protrude into the channel for the charging handle latch. You can also insert your latch spring.
5. I then aligned the latch by using the allen key inserted through the handle and into the retaining latch. This aligns the holes in both pieces so when you go to tap in the retaining roll pin, it will tap into place and not bind. You can use many thing for this. Tooth picks, brad nails, etc. As long as it is small enough to fit in the roll pin hole but snug enough to not fall out under gravity.
6. I then used a hammer and tapped the pin into place. by having the allen key aligning the roll pin hole in the handle as well as latch, it tapped into place very easy. Check your handle and make sure the latch pivots freely. Sorry for blurry picture.
7. Install in your 15-22 and rock on. You may have to clean the channel in the upper receiver as this handle is precision fit. There is no room for built up gunk that can be left behind. The stock handle is very tolerance loose. And residue can build up in it's channel due to this. You may have to clean the channel the charging handle rides in to allow the Tacticool22 charging handle to move freely. it is a very nice fit and slop free. You can now feel that much more secure in that there is a better fit and finished handle in your firearm. Now go sling some lead!
