How to Mount a Broomhandle Grip on an AR15

The AR15 is a shoulder-fired, gas-operated, air-cooled, semi-automatic assault rifle. This weapon is also the base design for the M16A2 and M4 service rifles issued to the U.S. military. The standard fore-grip of the AR15 can be fitted with other instruments such as lights, picatinny or weaver rails, scopes and broom-handle grips. A broom-handle grip can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on whatever style the owner prefers. Installing a broom-handle grip on an AR15 can be accomplished with little difficulty.

      Remove the magazine. Pull the charging handle to the rear. Visually inspect the chamber to ensure that no live ammunition is present.

    • 2

      Mark the area on the fore-grip where you want to position your broom-handle grip using a white wax marker. The spot can can be on the left or right, or underneath the fore-grip.

    • 3

      Pull down on the lock ring at the base of your fore-grip hand-guards. Pull out and up on the hand guards to remove them.

    • 4

      Fit the bolts from the interior of the hand-guard through the holes at your marks. Fit the broom-handle grip base onto the bolts on the outside of the hand-guard. Screw the bolts into the grip base tightly.
