Fix my gun Tm22 Light Strikes

I recently purchased an 18inch tm22 pro. But I’ve been having a hell of a time with it.

First time shooting I was getting a light strike every other round probably 50% failure rate.

I broke it down fully cleaned and oiled everything and took it back out to the range and I’ve found I’m still getting light strikes maybe 20% of the time which is better than 50%. I inquired about warranty service but that’s shipping on my own time and quite a long turnaround through SFRC.

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I’ve thought about cutting maybe a coil or 2 off the firing spin spring to make it easier to move?

Try removing the left extractor first, it may help.

Ill have to look into this, does the left extractor block a full strike?

I don't know the specifics, but I had a ton of failures to extract with mine and a few light strikes but after removing it it runs smoothly. My guess is that it's just not seating fully so you're not getting a full strike, but that may not be your issue so I can't say for certain.
