Fine i'll release this monstrosity

[u/EnggyAlex]

So quite a few people actually prefer the factory charging handle location on the tm22 and asked me about this abomination i made a few months ago so here it is🤦

[u/Lumindan]

What in tarnation?

I hate it.

Put 2 in my cart.

[u/HackDartBreakHeart]

I hate it. How can I get one?

[u/EnggyAlex → u/HackDartBreakHeart]

I listed it on my website now

[u/NeruLight]

The factory handle is not great 😆

[u/Ok-Raise-5115 → u/NeruLight]

Last range day mine fell out like 3 times. Finally put some locktite on it when I got home. Next time it fails I’m just gonna put the top charging handle kit on it

[u/scottsuplol]

I’d like a size in the middle between yours and the factory. Have also looks at some of the conversions to put the pull back charging handle like on most AR’s

[u/EnggyAlex → u/scottsuplol]

I made the ar conversions, this is for people who prefer the factory one.

Hey Alex! Good morning. Do you have a thorough vid or post on your trigger mod? I'm now into paying attention to lousy triggers and my TM-22 is the worst of the lot. A long, grungy drag with no real defined trigger release point. I understand it's a work in progress.

[u/EnggyAlex → u/Status_Ticket5044]

so the trigger design is done and proven, however the laser cutting place I went to make the proprietary trigger linkage bar for the lighter trigger did a very lousy job so I have to use a file to hand fit and try them on a rifle for each of them. I'm getting really proficient at stripping down the gun now but its still a major pain in the ass........

[u/Status_Ticket5044 → u/EnggyAlex]

So $0.07 each material cost and $30 to QC. Sigh. No one ever said being a mad scientist was gonna be easy.

[u/EnggyAlex → u/Status_Ticket5044]

Essentially ya

If your TM-22 has an aluminum receiver, Alex's works well. There's a half dozen reasons why Alex's is better than Tommy's. Neither work well with plastic receivers.

[u/scottsuplol → u/Status_Ticket5044]

I just picked up the pro so most likely will slap one on that. Turning it into my cope gun honestly

[u/Status_Ticket5044 → u/scottsuplol]

Rule #1... When tearing it completely down to thoroughly clean every 1000 rounds or so (swab it out after each use), remember the order of the 3 screws holding the top cover/rail down. 3 different lengths. Longest at the rear, shortest to the front. 10-15 in/lbs max and use blue Loctite. You're tightening steel bolts into aluminum threads.

Looks and feels so clumsy 🤣

[u/EnggyAlex → u/Whispersfine]

it is what it is Lol better than nothing

[u/Whispersfine → u/EnggyAlex]

100% man. Keep up the good work!
