M&P 15-22 forend

[UKYankee]

Hello all,

Have any 15-22 owners replaced the forend? I like the feel of the Magpul MOE forend over the sharp plastic picatinny but wasn't sure how easy it would be. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently found a couple of vids on youtube that shows you how to do it. It wasn't too difficult, but not like a standard AR15.

Unless you already have the requisite tools, I would advise looking at getting something like this kit: http://www.tacticool22.com/shop/free-fl ... p-108.html

I haven't swapped out the hand guard on my 15-22 (as I'm happy with Magpul XTM rail covers and an AFG), but I have used their barrel vice and wrench. No problems with buying from/shipping to the UK either

Thanks for the info guys. While it looks simple enough to do, the cost is racking up quite quickly for what is really just basic comfort / looks so I think I'll knock it on the head and stick with rail covers.

That's pretty much what I thought after looking into it.
