Buy recommendations Derya TM22 questions

Hey everyone, I just purchased my first gun which is a derya TM22 Pro.

I live just north of the gta, and until I find a range or crown land to shoot I’d like to get familiar with my rifle.

The staff at the store said you don’t really need to oil the gun, just clean it with spray after use. Is this true? The manual doesn’t really say much of anything lol.

Is there any attachments and scopes anyone recommends for this gun?

Thanks!

Definitely give it some lube

I’d take it apart and clean it/lube it. Not sure if the pro is different but on my 18” aluminum TM22 the charging handle sucks, I replaced mine with a Dlask. Not sure if they’re still available as I heard they were closing, someone must make one though.

Yeah, I seen there’s some brand called Alex’s homebrew? Thanks for the input!

Also a weird bit about the charging handle, there’s a flat and rounded side and if you crank down on it the wrong way you can bend the bolt metal and pinch the left hand extractor groove. Mine was loose at the range one day and I cinched it down the wrong way by accident and it took me a while to figure out where the issue was (thanks Engy Alex btw). I just had to file the extractor groove straight again and it worked like new.

so... I seem to have fucked up in this exact same way, did not notice the flat spot. Now I feel I may have fucked it up. But I am considering moving my charging handle to the other side, which, apparently is doable.

Hmm, interesting. Seems like a lot of people change the charging handle it seems

Vortex Triumph red dot or if you'd like some zoom the triumph 3-9x40 is hard to beat. Comes with 60 dollar rings for 149.99

Always good to know how to disassemble and reassemble your new rifle. When it’s disassembled - give it a cleaning and oil lightly. Wipe down the rifle with a clean cloth once it’s all back together.

YouTube is a good source for instructions.

Okay, thanks I’ll see if there’s a video on my model!

Looks like I’ll need to purchase a cleaning kit and pin removing kit? Any you recommend in particular?

u/Ok-Bowler-203 Jun 15 '26

Any local gun store will carry cleaning kits but I found the one I got wasn’t worth the price.

I ended up buying the items separately and some on Amazon. Same goes for the pin removal tools, Amazon or your local hardware store will have em.

Using old cloth tshirts shirts for rags works too if you want to safe some money.

Awesome, thanks! I seen some people are against using brass barrel brushes to clean the barrel, but in the derya video they show using a brass brush. So much conflicting information on the internet lol.

I have a brass barrel brush for it. Haven't used it yet. I just run a few patches through with CLP until they come out clean. It seems to work nicely.

For scopes I recently bought a cvlife that has AO for 80$ with rings, since .22lr makes little recoil u can get amazon scopes and it’ll hold zero

Derya YouTube released an entire set of tutorial videos and explanations on how to clean and then break in brand new tm22s. The disassembly/reassembly video and the best ammo video would be the first two to watch to become familiar with your firearm.
