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?

My 16 pro has ran flawlessly for 500 rounds. I’ve got a tm22 lever action aswell and the first 300 were great last 200 had at least one light strike per 15r mag not as big deal on lever just cock hammer and bang away they go. I noticed though the ones that were light striking also didn’t chamber as easily. That being said I ran brass brush with lots of clp in the chamber and now I noticed it chambers every round way easier. I think it had fair amount of gunk in chamber I haven’t been back out to test but I’m confident it won’t light strike anymore. I’m running federal ammo aswell. Good luck!
