Follow the instruction in the owner's manual.
The M16 assault rifle has a 7075 aluminium alloy receiver, steel barrel, bolt, and bolt carrier, and glass-reinforced polymer handguard, pistol grip, and buttstock.
No it will not. the Handguard on the barrel is in the way of the handguard on the shroud.
To remove the handguard on the M16 assault rifle, first remove the magazine. Next pull back the charging handle and inspect the chamber to ensure that the weapon is clear. Now place the rifle on the ground with the buttplate on the floor and the muzzle facing up. Pull down on the delta ring with one hand, and pull apart the handguard with the other. If you have an M16A1, the handguard will come apart down the middle. If your M16 has A2 or later style handguards, they will come apart to the left and right. M16A1s lack a flared delta ring, and may require a tool to pull down if you lack sufficient strength.
If you mean the upper handguard, which contains the gas piston- make certain that the rifle is not loaded, and on SAFE. At the rear of the handguard is a small lever on the right side. Raise the lever 90 degrees. Lift the rear of the handguard as far as it will go, then swing the lever down- it should pass UNDER the end of the raised handguard. Lift the rear until clear, and then slide the handguard to the rear. surplusrifle.com contains good information on the SKS, and dozens of other milsurp firearms.
If you get a short enough handguard it should work.
You will need a free-float hand guard kit. These can be purchased online. Check out this video for an example of how to install such a kit: http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-install-a-free-float-handguard-on-an-ar-15-rifle-267096/view/
Yes. The M16A2 and M16A4 have the same delta ring and handguard cap, therefore the railed handguard from an M16A4 should fit on the A2.
A M16 cost about $2000.00
