Gun and gear reviews TM22 Out-of-Battery Discharge / Case Rupture with Aguila Super Extra – Ammo or Gun issue?
Hey everyone, looking for some insight on my new TM22. I gave it a full teardown and cleaning right out of the box. Took it to the range yesterday for the first time and ran a variety of ammo through it: * CCI Blazer * Federal * CCI Stinger * Aguila Super Extra
The CCI and Federal ran fine, but I had a scary moment with the Aguila Super Extra. It "went off" while the bolt wasn't fully seated (OOB discharge). The casing was blown out/ruptured. Since I cleaned the gun beforehand and the other brands ran okay, I’m trying to figure out if this is a known issue with Aguila in the TM22 or if I should be looking at the firing pin/extractor. Has anyone else had issues with Aguila timing in this platform?

Can't comment authoritatively on the blowout but props for your dedication to the Derya brand.
Which rifle? Aluminum or Poly receiver?
The return spring on the affected rifle any weaker than the others? Barrel joined tight to the receiver?

As SBI said here somewhere here, it's likely a one off, what with 22LR being a commodity item. There haven't been rampant complaints about Aguila or TM-22s here habitually doing this and I'm sure there would be.
If it happens again within a thousand rounds, I'd worry, moreso if it's other than Aguila.

Check if the incident casing has a primer strike. If it does, it’s possible that the firing pin isn’t moving as freely as it’s supposed to.

I’ve had a lot of OOBD with Aguila in my TM22, I don’t run it any more.

Last 2 boxes of Aguila ive bought at separate times (8 months and 4 months ago), they seem to be "sticky".
Unsure wax? dried grease? Or some sort of anti-corrosion film, or perhaps some releasing agent on machinery during manufacturing.
I took a few rounds and rubbed them down with paper towel and wd40. ..... it did remove the film, but im not gonna do that for every box of 500😂
Its decent ammo for cost/performance/reliability imo, so i would still buy for a manual action rifle

Dirty ammo trick. Get an old towel, toss a bunch of ammo in it, blast it with spray oil, quickly grab the ends of the towel, and polish them like you see bowlers cleaning their bowling balls. Hundreds of rounds of .308 done in 30 seconds. You're welcome.

Have had this happen with the TM22 cadet version using this ammo. In my aluminum TM22 I only run this exact Aguila ammo because it’s the most reliable for me. Even more reliable than mini mag. My aluminum one had some bolt fitment issues that would cause light strike. But O’dell sorted that for me a while ago and good now. I wonder maybe something similar happening? Maybe try the 36 grain version of this ammo instead of the 40 grain? I have probably over 700 rounds of this aguila through mine no OOBD.

Had this happen 3 times with my lever action tm22, exclusively with Aguila super extra. I assumed the brass got bent or pinched while feeding it in. I've never had it happen with CCI/blazers. I suspect the brass Aguila uses is a little softer or something idk.
