So cool dude, people keep telling me to get the 10/22 and to customize that, but anytime I see a cool ass TM22 like yours, I shift toward that.

Does it shoot smoothly?

Ive run thousands of rounds through my tm22 and I only ever had an issue with the bolt overtravel stop after I installed a mil spec buffer tube. Once I put washers behind the stop, there have been no issues whatsoever. Apparently the new models dont have this issue. These guns run great and are very reliable with almost all types of ammo. Im planning on buying one of the 12.5" models when they are released in June.

New models also have this issue, they released a new bolt buffer but it didnt fix the issue, just made it take a bit longer for the bolt to get the the over travel point. Its still recommended to yard it apart and drop a toonie or hardened washer in there.

Alternatively, if you have the barrel length for it, adding a 1913 adapter on the end instead of a buffer tube also resolves it.

Source: I also run one.

Any word on that magazine yet ?

u/CryptidWorks CryptidWorks Apr 10 '26

Not yet - work has hit the busy season (I don't have a day off for the next three weeks, for example) so I'm hoping to loop back to it in May.

It depends what you’re after. The 10/22 allows more swapping of internal parts like barrels, triggers, ejectors, etc., as well as stocks.

The TM22 is mostly ergonomic and external modifications. Mine shot pretty well and would put a 1.5”-2” group at 100yards in a light breeze. It’s no CZ457 bolt gun, but was fun for throwing cheap rounds at steel. Plenty reliable out of the box. My left side extractor got pinched and was causing issues, so I lightly filed the bolt until it moved freely and never had issues again.

u/HappyCan7250 Mar 10 '26

I had the same issue with my left extractor on my latest 16" Pro model. Took some fine sandpaper to it to polish it and it works great now, seems to be a semi-common issue but very easy to DIY fix. I've owned a few TM22s and only had that minor issue on 1, rest have run very reliably.

2

u/TheBulletBuddy Mar 10 '26

I ended up just popping out the left extractor and leaving it in a bag as a back up. Saw one of the TM22 part makers recommend that and haven't had any issues since. Not the most "professional" fix, but seemed to do the trick, no extraction issues now.

u/Elbro_16 Mar 10 '26

Mine shoots anything straight outta the box. However sometimes they need some fine tuning, whether polishing the bolt or maybe even looking at spring pressure.

u/HappyCan7250 Mar 10 '26

You could get both. The 10/22 does have a much larger aftermarket but the TM22 market is growing within Canada. I believe Alex recently made a new trigger for the TM22, 2 stage, I assume he will be releasing it in the future but I think is still finishing up prototyping. Dlask Arms also made some short barrels for these, not sure if they're still making them anymore though. 

Plus the top charging handle kits from Tommy/Alex are pretty sweet and really complete the mini-AR look and feel.

I've owned a few TM22s and only has issues with 1, but it was a simple fix I could do at home (extractor not releasing spent casings, just needing some polishing.

The new 16" Pro models are pretty reasonably priced too nowadays, they start at $499 for the black model, significantly less than the $600-$650 that the previous gen 18" models were (different importer brought them in at a lower price this time, and kindly offered them to retailers much cheaper hence why the Pro models are 20% cheaper).

They're really fun little plinkers and surprisingly accurate too. Almost all the issues with them have been ironed out now.

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Thanks man, I think it shoots great, very crisp trigger, tight groups, little picky on ammo but after removing one of the extractors I haven’t had a single failure in the last ~500rds.

u/Elbro_16 Mar 10 '26

I really like the folding stock, which usually I’m not a fan of.

2

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Thanks!

u/moonpie_888 Mar 10 '26

How did you put that on it?

1

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Buffer tube to 1913 adapter

u/Wiggum13 Mar 10 '26

I put this bad boi on mine. The laser is so fun at night. I haven’t tried the IR laser. But another fellow redditor told me you can view it through your iPhone camera. I just haven’t had a chance to try it.

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

I have that exact one on my panzer m4, absolutely love it.

u/Flashy_Inspector115 Mar 10 '26

Rip to your cheap airsoft grade lazer unit. That is NOT surviving 12ga

4

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

I thought the same thing, but it’s held zero for over 400rds of full power 12ga buck and slugs in roughly 6 months with no adjustments after the initial zeroing

-3

u/Flashy_Inspector115 Mar 10 '26

400 rounds in 6 months is not alot. My weekly range trip is about 200-300 slugs. This would not last me a month.

7

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Good for you?

6

u/Wiggum13 Mar 10 '26

Lmao. Bro doesn’t even have the laser. Or used it. And thinks he’s an expert. Hey flashy. Lick my balloon knot.

u/looloopklopm Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Love the stock. I would absolutely love to do this with mine. Looks fantastic!

Sick mag sleeve also! Love to see it out and about in the community. I should have 25 round versions available shortly.

Also how does that rear MBUS operate?? Lol

2

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Thanks man, looking forward to seeing those 25rd mags. As you noticed, unfortunately the rear sight doesn’t have quite enough room to fully open, even with the scope mounted as far forward as possible, but the LPVO has etched glass so the “backup” irons are just for looks lol.

1

u/looloopklopm Mar 10 '26

How's using the scope? You could probably move it back seeing as the sight won't open anyways! I also have "just for looks" sights on mine, but had to put the rear one in front of my rds because of the magnifier.

2

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Using the scope is fine but because the stock doesn’t have an adjustable LOP and I’m a bigger guy the scope can’t be too much further back or it messes the eye box/ eye relief for me.

2

u/AsparagusUnhappy5395 Mar 10 '26

Which mag covers are those? Do you have the link to the print?

2

u/DanDrav Mar 10 '26

What is the barrel length?

2

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Standard 18.5”

1

u/DanDrav Mar 10 '26

What’s the overall length when folded?

5

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Over 26” lol

1

u/DanDrav Mar 10 '26

I’ve been wanting to make this set up with the 16” barrel version. Do you think it’s possible to make it 26” total, maybe adding some length where the folding stock connects to the receiver?

1

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

I’d say probably not via the stock because, when folded, my build comes to 26-1/4”. I’ve heard that muzzle breaks count towards barrel length though so if you threw something like a surefire 3 prong flash hider on it (2-1/2”) that’d probably be enough to hit the 26” minimum with a 16” barrel. That being said I’m definitely not the person you want to be coming to for legal advice.

u/TescoValueSoup Mar 10 '26

I’ve heard that muzzle breaks count towards barrel length

Muzzle breaks do NOT contribute towards barrel length.
Muzzle breaks DO contribute to overall length.

2

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Good to know, thanks for explaining

1

u/TescoValueSoup Mar 10 '26

Is it close when folded??

10.5" barrel on an AR with a standard buffer/stock is a ball hair over 26"

I appreciate it!

u/DanDrav Mar 12 '26

I now have an 18” barrel TM-22 and I’m wondering if the “Strike AR Picatinny Stock Adapter” and things like it can work with a TM-22. I see you have something very similar installed. How was the installation? You had to get a mil spec end plate right?

1

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 12 '26

No I initially just installed it directly onto the rifle. The aluminum adapter threads are slightly too small and short for the tm22 though and I was worried about stripping them so I 3d printed a copy slightly larger that fits perfectly. Next range session I’ll shoot a couple 1000rds and see if it holds up.

1

u/No_tomatoes1 Mar 10 '26

That looks really good!

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

Thank you!

u/CrowOld5626 Mar 10 '26

I would recommend u switch the charging handle  get the Alex’s Homebrew AR charging handle kit 

1

u/elo_itr Mar 10 '26

where did you get the buffer to pict rail adapter?

2

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

I had initially designed one via 3d printing but when I bought the folding stock it came with an aluminum adapter so I switched to that

1

u/elo_itr Mar 10 '26

okay, thanks. I did find one on makerworld but don't know how durable it is.

2

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Mar 10 '26

I think it’d be fine for a .22lr as long as you’re not abusing it lol. Print material would make a big difference. The one I made with PETG seemed like it would’ve worked but I never tested it so I can’t say for certain.

1

u/OkAbbreviations8669 Mar 10 '26

Should be fine for .22 recoil.

1

u/1anre Mar 10 '26

For fishing ?

2

u/NoGrapefruit1213 Apr 17 '26

does the stock come with the adapter or where can a guy find the adapter? this looks amazing

1

u/Dry-Syrup-3058 Apr 17 '26

Hey thanks man! I bought mine second hand off gunpost but the guy I got it from said it came with the aluminum adapter when he bought it. Just a heads up though, the adapter works but it’s a little bit smaller in diameter than it should be for the TM22. I didn’t want to risk damaging it so I ended up going online and slightly altering a basic buffer tube to 1913 adapter, printed it in PETG-CF, and I haven’t had any issues with it. If you don’t wanna wait for one to show up on the used market, RDSC has them in stock but they’re selling for $400 new.
