What Fixed My TM22 Light Strike Problems

[u/Possible_Jellyfish69]

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

Yep, the firing pin return spring is too much. I cut 3 coils off mine and it runs way better now. It's also still doing its job: no firing pin marks on the rim from dropping the bolt. https://youtube.com/shorts/5T67CNcoV_w
