Not want to be that person but I don’t get the hype around TM22. The pro version which is probably the best version, has a very soft aluminum receiver and usually one of the three screws that holds the whole firearm together gets stripped after a couple of take downs. Then who thought it was a good design to take your optic off to be able to take down the gun?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine plinker but in terms of quality and design, it is very questionable.

I will buy 1000 more TM22s before I buy another 10/22. That’s a hill I’ll die on. Every gun has its downsides…

What do you hate about the 10/22 so much?

I have one with the Magpul stock as my first .22LR and IDK it's kind of boring. I feel this would be more fun. My biggest gripe though is I have a .22LR and no option to have bigger than 10 mags.

You can get the SBI 597 mag adapter and buy either the 22rd banana mags for it or the 30 round drum mag. Promags are cheaper than the BX-1 Mag anyway so you can stockpile them a little easier.

Just get the 597 adapters then you can have bigger mags in the 1022

Yeahhh but I don't like the 597 mags. If I could have something to use my GSG-16 drum mag would be perfect and that is the TM22. It will probably be my next purchase once the dust settles if it's still allowed.

It’s the most below mid gun ever. When it’s stock it’s clunky; and only harder you change out half its parts it starts to be fine. Not to mention the mag restrictions that happened a decade ago.
