Very strong chance you are running the bolt and receiver housing too dry. If you follow the YouTube cleaning videos it won’t really be apparent to you but you must make the running surfaces slick. Do avoid getting lube on front and rear of bolt, or anywhere near firing pin / inner chamber. Sides top bottom and the walls of the receiver must be made slick . If using CLP be very generous with it in these spots. Even Ruger 10/22, although they can run pretty dry, need slickness too. The finishing on the TM-22 bolt is neither polished nor DLC coated.

Totally agree. G96 has become my favourite too
