Feets / Collection / My build TM-22 A12 + Alex’s Homebrew

Post image

This Alex’s Homebrew gen2 T handle kit is incredible. The LPVO is fantastic, too. The bolt hold open button is super slick. The TM22 is so smooth and accurate🫠 I can’t get over this setup lol so happy right now.

Lol you have my entire catalog, thanks for the support.

I actually got my p.eng license now and I'm going to quit my dayjob and design gun stuff full time soon

Congrats! Also, I didn’t realize you needed a p.eng to design gun stuff

Anything where a regulator says you have to, or where public safety could be at risk.

Federally regulated industry...a P. Eng. is a creature of provincial law.

Most federally regulated engineers don't bother unless the federal regulations give them a reason to.

Unfortunately illegal now without a firearms business license. Do you just stick to accessories or do you already have the business license?

Dude Ive had the same setup on an 18inch for the last 2+ years and it has surpassed my 10/22

u/NeruLight May 23 '26

I love my 10/22 as well but you can just feel the accuracy with the TM-22 platform .. as much as people post them they’re STILL low key underrated imo

u/Whispersfine May 23 '26

I think, dollar to dollar, tm 22 is a better gun than 10/22

Handle kit is all aluminum?

u/Livid_sumo May 23 '26

100 percent..... unless you get the feather version from tommy enterprises (unfortunately I cannot recommend it). The aluminum one from Alex's homebrew is 10 out of 10 however

Faux suppressor add? Metal or 3d printed one.

u/SSjGuitarist May 24 '26

This looks amazing. It’s all stuff I want. Can you be the hero we need and post a YouTube vid or something of it all working together?

I just picked up the same exact model. 12" barrel too. How does it shoot? How accurate is it? I havent had time to shoot mine yet unfortunately. Ive got a couple small mods on the way like a kit to convert it to a milspec buffer tube so that I can put a magpul stock on it. I'm also rocking a red dot with a magnifier with a vertical foregrip. I am honestly so surprised how small it is.

u/NeruLight May 25 '26

That’s great you’re gonna love the way it shoots. There’s a small break in, like any gun. The accuracy is great, too. I’d like to swap stocks too for something even more minimalist some day

u/Mean-Ad-9378 May 25 '26

If you're looking to put a milspec stock on it, the main limiting factor is the place that goes on the back of the rifle, since the screw right under the stock on the back of the rifle conflicts with a standard AR plate. You can buy one specifically made for the TM22 on true north arms along with a milspec buffer tube. Then you just reuse the castle nut that is already on the TM22 and you're good to go.

I would also look into the buffer tube fix that basically all these guns need at some point if you're not familiar. Apparently its only a problem after thousands of rounds, but still it sounds like its a matter of when, not if. That being said, its a super easy fix.

u/NeruLight May 25 '26

Ahh that might make a problem for me then since the T handle kit has its own lock plate that is shorter on top. Maybe I could find an airsoft stock that works with a commercial tube

u/Mean-Ad-9378 May 25 '26

Maybe, maybe not. I honestly be suprised if Alex didnt account for the buffer tube issues when creating the mod, seems pretty familiar with the platform
