Fix my gun / Modding What Fixed My TM22 Light Strike Problems

My tm22 had tons of light strikes, even after being sent in for warranty "repair" twice. I finally got it working reliably by doing two of the suggested fixes people recommend. Neither of these fixes worked on their own. The trick was removing the left extractor AND cutting a few coils off the firing pin spring. Just sharing this for others who are having light strike problems with their tm22s. I avoided cutting the spring for a long time because I didn't want to void the warranty, but the warranty "repairs" were useless in my experience

I theorized that the firing pin (retaining?) spring on my TM-22 (A-18) is the prime reason for the light strikes I've been getting.

How much of it did you chop off?

About 3 coils. I did 1.5 coils first, then another coil, then another .5 or so

Thanks! Gotta do the same to mine at some point.
