The DD1 is a barrel shroud designed to fit the Smith & Wesson® M&P® 15-22 with a standard 16-inch barrel. The Kineti-Tech series of barrel shrouds are designed to give the "suppressed SBR" look while still having a full length 16 inch barrel. In this configuration the shroud's rear will sit within a 1/4-inch from the dust cover. This shroud is a three-piece design, featuring a threaded front cap, a threaded body, and back-end plug. The back end plug can be pushed in completely flush or may be slightly out to get a closer fitment to the dust cover. All shroud caps and tubes are interchangeable if you wish to create a custom, one of a kind barrel shroud for your rifle. This shroud was originally designed to be installed onto a Smith & Wesson® M&P®15-22 but will fit any rifle that meets fitment specification requirements.

Installation Recommendations
• It is highly recommended and strongly advised that all parts be installed by a Licensed Gunsmith to ensure proper fit, function, and safe operation.
• This shroud measures 1.5" OUTSIDE DIAMETER. If you are attempting to tuck the shroud under your handguard be sure that the INSIDE DIAMETER of your handguard exceeds 1.5"
• A locking agent such as Rocksett or Loctite is recommended for threaded portions of shroud assembly and installation.
Kineti-tech barrel shrouds can turn a AR into a unique AR in a few turns on a threaded barrel. This is my second shroud and I’m a true fan.
Well made. Solid, no scratches, and the thread pattern matches the M&P 15-22 perfectly. I have the newer model 15-22, and the shroud still fits perfectly down to the hand guard as long as you do not over tighten it. Also, and most importantly, it looks AMAZING on my rifle!
I know this item is strictly cosmetic and adds zero performance to the rifle but WOW, it looks awesome!!! It changes the whole look of the M&P 15-22. It was designed to fit this gun so installation was a snap. I will be ordering another one for my other 15-22 for sure. This thing is way up there as far as the "cool factor" is concerned.
The KinetiTech barrel shroud is a cost-effective way to give your ARX a beefier and badder look. It installs in minutes with one tool (1/8 in punch to remove flash hider). Very pleased with the results.
