Fix my gun Tm22 constant light strikes / feeding issues / bolt locked half open

I bought a new tm22 from FOC back in June (OG 18” full metal one). Finally had the chance to shoot it today and it wasn’t a great experience to say the least.

Before I went to the crown lands I ran a patch down the barrel and did a light lub around the bolt area with some hoops live (I just took out the guiding rod and spring but didn’t dissemble the bolt).

Cci blazer: completely unusable. Every 2-3rd round was a light strike.

Aguila super extra: slightly better but a light strike every 5 rounds or so.

Cci mini mag: best, maybe one light strike every mag.

On top of this, I will get a double feed or stove pipe about once every 25-30 rounds

Sometimes the bolt would lock half open (no idea what’s going on here) and I’d have to twiddle with it with the mag out and and toggle the safety until I could get the bolt fully open to pull out the stuxk round.

Anyone else have similiar issues? I’m about to send this back for a warranty (but I am not expecting too much).

They need a little break-in

CLP/oil everywhere on the bolt. Rack that mofo 20 times with oil.

Dont fill the mags at max capacity at first. Run like 100 rounds of mini-mags then you should be able to run them at capacity.

Don't rack with safety on, I've been seeing reviews of the safety breaking when manually cycling with it on.

Yeah - I was having the same kinds of problems. I manually racked the bolt a bunch of times to shake the firing pin free and it started working fine. I later noticed that the safety wasn't .... being safe. Bad design.
