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’m a bit hesitant with cutting my spring, mostly because in slow mo, I see it fully cycle all the way back, so im not sure that would actually be the issue - unless it’s causing something else that’s not about setting the hammer far down enough?

That's a different spring - I'm talking about the spring in the bolt around the firing pin which creates resistance of the firing pin going forward when struck by the hammer

Ohhhh ok I see, that makes sense, I’ll try that too. Thanks!
