new goodies on the way :) i think im done(key word is think)

[acropora]

i finally received my lonnnnnnnnnnnnng awaited tax return today(filed in early january lol) so figured i should get the last things i wanted for my 15-22 while i had the cashola.i placed my orders for a NCstar 2-7x39 mil dot style scope,tacticool22 1/2"-28 threaded barrel adapter so i can add a fake can or muzzle brake(not sure yet),UTG adjustable bipod,NDZ charging handle(molon labe engraved version),two 32 round promag magazines,and a magpul MOE K grip.i still want to get a magpul butt stock but am not sure which one yet so i will do a little more research on that before i purchase that.i have also considered buying a suppressor but i need to look into the logistics of that and have my barrel threaded first since im unsure if the tacticool22 threaded adapter would be ok to use for a real suppressor.ill post a few pics in a few days when all the parts arrive and i have them installed on the rifle.

well the first of my parts came in today and im surprised it got here so quick.i ordered the NDZ charging handle on thursday afternoon and it arrived today .i must say im very happy with the feel and looks of the NDZ charging handle and it really does look nicer and feels solid as a rock compared to the stock plastic one.i had one minor issue with my order from optics planet,my package was supposed to arrive on friday since i paid for 2 day air.somehow the order got messed up and didnt ship out in time so optics planet told me that if it didnt arrive on friday that they would credit me back over half the shipping cost to make it the normal shipping.so it appears im getting back around $15 from optics planet.im glad they offered me this and they seem to be top notch for customer service and i would recommend them to anyone for parts or any product you may want or need.from what my tracking numbers say i should be getting the rest of my parts by tuesday and be able to assemble it all that night.fun fun fun

i still need to unscrew the little lever on the charging handle and place it on the new one.

FYI, the latch on the charging handle is held in place with a pin, not a screw. The swap is not hard to do, just take your time.

I would have gotten the NDZ latch, as well.

yeah after getting out a flashlight and inspecting it i saw it was just a pin.i just pushed it out with a tiny screwdriver and now have it installed on the new charging handle.when i ordered the charging handle i didnt know it didnt come with the latch.i will probably order the latch just so its all metal and not plastic.now i cant wait for my scope,tacticool threaded barrel adaptor,bipod,magazines,and magpul grip.if all goes well with my finances then i plan on having my barrel threaded and a placing a suppressor on it.does anyone know what form i need to fill out for the BATF to purchase a suppressor?do you fill out the form then once approved buy a suppressor?or do you go to purchase a suppressor,then fill out the form and wait for approval?

 

[Majorlk]

Yea, it is a simple swap.

I'll let others answer about the NFA question. I have no first hand experience.

 

[acropora]

cool and thanks for all the info you and others have given me in the past.this board has given me so much GOOD info and help along the way.now im going to polish my bolt and slides for smother action.i really am bored today lol,i never thought i would do so much to a .22 but the more i read,the more i want to do

I'm not familiar with this NDZ charging handle so I have a couple questions. Do they have an oversized latch like the badger tactical one that attaches to the charging handle? Hows the functionality? I haven't heard too many good things about the Plinkers Tactical handle but I really just want a latch like the badger.

There is no latch like the badger for the 15-22 that I have seen. Here's the details on the NDZ.

Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22

I have put the NDZ handle on three 15-22s.

i have never heard of the other charging handle you mention.this is my first product from NDZ but the build quality is top notch,the finish is perfect,and from its reviews performs nicely.i have been around machining tools for years and this charging handle is nicely machined and worth the price.

well all my new toys for my 15-22 came in over the past 2 days,all except my magpul grip.im very happy with the look and feel of the scope i purchased and for $60 i dont think it was a bad buy at all.i do think im going to get a magpul butt-stock.here is what my baby looks like now.the only thing i really want to do that will cost me some coinage is to have the barrel threaded and add a suppressor.i have found a few that arent too expensive,if it wasnt for the dang BATF i would have already bought a suppressor.i hate to give the fed government $200 of my hard earned money i have considered making my own suppressor but not sure of the legality of building your own.anyone have any insight on this?pics of my 15-22

finally got 2 extra mags(were 10 rounders but converted to 32's)

new scope

 

[acropora]

got mags?????? i do now and it feels good to finally have 6 to work with.i thought i was done adding stuff to my 15-22 but i just couldnt do that.i added a magpul CTR stock,magpul MIAD grip,and gathering the parts to add the magpul carbine handguard.i have a NDZ charging handle but after seeing tacticool22's new handles i had to order one in FDE since my stock,grip,and handguard are all FDE.i also picked up some new targets to shoot at tomorrow when my brother and i hit the range.so here is what my baby looks like now.

i painted my scope mount ODG for a little contrast

MAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and some targets,i like that they have four 6" targets per sheet since it gives me more to shoot at using one target.
