Saw this at Taccom earlier today. This model by Canuck basically fixes two major issues I had with the TM22.....the charging handle is ambidextrous and it's got a bolt hold open. The bolt hold open is on the third photo. It also takes 10/22 mags but Canuck will be coming out with proprietary 5, 10, 15 and 25 round mags. From what I've seen the 15 and 25 round mags will look similar to the Butler Creek banana style mags. Mil-spec buffer tube. The handguard is all aluminum and has MLOK slots on the bottom as well. Full length aluminum picatinny rail. It will also come with the MBUS style sights. The only thing this doesn't come with is the scope and the tripod obviously.

The Canuck rep told me that they'll be on shelves in December but they will probably be out earlier in November so all the Canadian gun tubers can review them. Obviously the big concern is how reliable they will be but I've been pretty happy with Canuck and O'Dell Engineering's products so far so I have a feeling that this will be a TM22 killer.

EDIT: I forgot....these will come in a 12 inch, 16 inch and an 18 inch barrel version. The muzzle is also threaded. Also, they will come in OD green and I believe FDE. All models will be non-restricted. Price point will also be around $600 CAD. Same as most TM22s.

This looks decent. That safety looks ass backwards from standard AR configuration though and could likely be easily flipped off inadvertently while carrying in the bush. Other than that, it looks like a good deal for the price.

The safety is also ambidextrous so that's probably a factor in why it's backwards on the right side.

Tbh that doesn't make a lot on sense. Logic would dictate that they'd be mirrored on both sides. If it's backwards on one side then it'll be backwards on the other. I own guns that are ambi and the safety is the same on both sides. This one might just be ass backwards from the factory like a lot of the early TM-22 designs had for their safety. Not the end of the world. Just worth pointing out and wishing that their production guns are more standard/westernized when it comes to that.
