I'm mostly a manual action kind of guy but thought this would be a fun rifle to spin up some designs around until I finally get time to take it out to the range.
Base rifle is a 12" TM22 Pro
Barrel shroud, handguard top pic rail, foregrip, charging handle and custom magazine are designed by yours truly and printed in a mix of ASA and PETG.
Magazine holds 20rnds (pretty tightly), so far I've successfully tested feeding with only dummy rounds, since I'm not going to chamber live ammo in the house. I'm still working on refining the design.
Beavertail grip is the KaborDevices KD2 3D printed grip
MLOK SBI-like rail covers are also 3D printed.
Gideon Optics Mediator mounted so I can access all three top rail screws for cleaning.
These are 20rnd mags designed by me, I've yet to take them out to live fire, and finger feeding with dummy rounds seems rough but workable. Will have to refine the design a bit more.
The rifle came with 2x 10rnd stock mags in the box and I put those 3D printed mag covers by MatAttack on them. They look less "shriveled" than stock but stick out the front a wee bit more than I liked.
No time to head to the range still, but manual feeding by racking the bolt works well with the mag fully loaded. I may tweak some of the geometry a bit since things feel a tad rough still.
Honestly these posts have me thinking of buying one for my birthday. Yours looks amazing, the mag covers actually look great, the rifle looks really great.
My only decision is the tm22, or a semi auto shotgun, or save a bit more for a Homesteader..... decisions decisions....
I like it for such a short rifle like this! At least it's not negative angled like a 10 or 5 degree AR grip would be due to the weird canted slot on these rifles.
Think you could make a more durable quad rail than Tommy? I’m tempted to pick one of these up and fulfil the dark urges to Tacticool it, but that can make a small gun heavy fast. Would love to have a quad rail without just adding aluminum rails to the original handguard.
Yes I did! Quickly threw a design together because the stock charging handle felt like yanking on a M5 bolt. Kept it small enough to be low profile to match the size of the rifle but big enough to be more comfortable.
Gotta swap out that grip for something without the beaver tail. It just makes it look so off.
I sure hope you drop those mag files onto somewhere I can find them once you’ve got them as good as you like. I’d be very interested in a couple of those.

How do you like those mag covers I’m thinking about picking up a few
