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

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.

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........

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

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.

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

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.
