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

I did a bit of research and it seemed the CCI .22lr minimag 40gr were considered one of the better rounds that had fewer failures. Some stuff I saw online said once you get through the break-in period (200-300 rounds) the rifle can be a bit more forgiving on what ammunition you put through it. I can't attest to that yet tho.

I've worked my way down the pyramid from mini mags to SV to Blazer with no real faults over about 3000 rounds now. I tried a box of greasy as F Norma-Tec for shits and giggles and had at least a stovepipe per mag. I think TM-22s like dry lube.

The norma tac 22 is super accurate in my cz457. Never used it in a semi auto though.

The TAC-22 exhibited no enhanced accuracy on either the TM-22 or a 10/22. I got it more to try on my 457, hoping it might be a step up from CCI SV.

I hope it works for you. It’s amazing. The only downside is the oily lubricants. I had to bring a rug when shoot that ammo
