TNCPT Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 New member here with first posting. If this subject has been covered before my bad. Can someone tell me (or show me) how to get the front handguard off so I can get to the barrel nut? Thanks.
Microgunner Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Welcome to T22 TNCPT. Many 15-22 owners here, someone will be able to help you.
rodent.22 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Go to M&P 15/22.com, they manufacture the barrel nut tool that slides around the barrel and reaches up inside the handguard and loosens the nut. The barrel must be clamped in a vise. Two hardwood blocks will protect the barrel, or aluminum blocks to hold the barrel can be bought for $55.00. DO NOT attempt to hold the arm by the upper or lower receiver, or the arm may be ruined. The Smith & Wesson website might offer the barrel tool also.
