Gun and gear reviews TM22 Feather and Flash Review: Lighter, Cheaper... Better?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JouP8zy_nWs

TM22's are taking over 3 gun competitions. Here's a review on 2 of them.

I've got a couple extra tips in the article here: https://www.huntinggearguy.com/rimfire/tm22-feather-review/

tip 1: if you're getting failures to eject, consider removing your left extractor (the gun has 2)

tip 2: check your barrel nut tightness, lots are barely finger tight

Is the flash as "toy" feeling as people claim ?

I didn't say it was a bad gun. I've owned the GSG16 and the GSG15. In Canada cope land the GSG series isn't terrible but it's cheap, plastic and feels as such.

Its just not a high bar to pit something against was all I was saying. Nothing wrong with buying a cheap, plastic gun, but don't be surprised when it feels cheap.

Also you can buy an out of the box 10/22 carbine for like $50-$100 more depending on sales and have better performance, accuracy and aftermarket support. There's absolutely no need to spend $1k on a gucci 10/22, nor was i suggesting anyone do so.

This being said i own a TM22 Pro and i fucking love it. However, it's not fully plastic and doesnt feel cheap like the GSG16 did. Because once again, the bar is low.
