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?

loosen the barrel nut and the set screw and make sure the barrel is seated far enough back into the receiver. A lot of these turk guns dont have great QC and the barrel can sometimes be half a millimeter out causing the bolt to not properly press against the rim firm enough making the pin have a light strike.
Had this problem myself, upon giving the barrel a shove and a re-tighten it started working just fine.
