First remove the forgrip/front sights. (6 total screws)
Next decide where you want to cut it.
I chose to cut the side rails and reuse the screw holes from the factory. I chose to remove the center screw hole then add the side rails back so the front and rear screw holes were now the only 2 mounting the side rails on. This holds everything together tight So when i go to JB weld it together i dont need any tools to hold the 2 parts back together i can use the 2 side rails.
So looking at the picture blue is where i cut the forgrip. 2 cuts with my miter saw made good square cuts. (yellow) shows the front and rear screw holes i will reuse. Yellow are the reused screw holes.
Here i measured from the center of the front screw hole (green) to the third inner rib. I then cut the back in the same spot it was not on a rub but still between the 2 larger vent holes.
The side of the fore grip is marked for the side rails. I just cut them to fit end to end.
Put all the screws back in and twist the front so its square with the rear. Screw on the shortened side rails and your ready for the JB weld.
I then bought a flash hider off ebay for a Ruger 10/22 that fit perfect and 12 rubber rail covers they just slipped right on. The way i cut mine i wont need to glue the 2 sections back together but if i do the front sight will stay a little more in position.
$238. from walmart + tax, $70. 25 round mag off gunbroker, flash hider off ebay for $10. and $7. for the rubber rail covers.
Stock (top) 715T out of the box, then after cutting down the fore grip, mag and ebay parts.
