Feets / Collection / My build 12" TM22 arrived today

Post image

Got my TM22 12" barrel today shipped from Firearms Outlet Canada. Managed to get out to the range and put about 160 rounds of CCI Mini Mag 40gr through it. Only a couple of failure to feed towards the end.

Lots of fun. Nice and compact

Finish is Burnt Bronze

True north arms reverse faux suppressor with break (you need to remove the cap inside the handguard to make the suppressor fit)

Vortex Triumph Red Dot

Magpul M-lok Hand stop

3d printed mag sleeves in PETG-CF

3d printed M-lok covers in PETG-CF

found the .STL files on thingiverse

Ive got both.

The 10/22 is great since it as reliable as its reputation says, and its extremely accurate (for me) out of the box. Unlimited aftermarket options for all bits and pieces you can think of.

Tm22 is a ton of fun, it scratches that cope itch of not being able to take the other rifles out, and mine seems to run flawlessly and eats any ammo i through at it. But, its not nearly as accurate as the 10/22, i wouldn't put anything other than a good red dot or a cheap lpvo on it. Not much other than oem replacement parts, but lots of 3d printed furniture available. And, as all turk rifles, its a total gamble in the first place if you'll even recieve a functioning rifle haha.

Tbh I don’t like the 10/22s because the Mags are a pain to load.

I think any .22 mag is a pain in the ass to load. I 3d printed a speed loader which helps but it's still annoying especially when you're constantly loading 10rd I know there's 15s and 25s but I like how the 10s look with the sleeves

10/22 is significantly more annoying imo because of the rotary design, and as a result, I haven’t really seen any consistent speed loaders that work with it.

I've never had a 10/22 so I can't say.. here's what Gemini says lol

"If you want a classic, lightweight plinker that you can endlessly tinker with and customize over a lifetime, the Ruger 10/22 is the benchmark. If you prefer a heavy, solid, tactical trainer with modern ergonomics and out-of-the-box rail space for optics and bipods, the TM22 is tough to beat."
