Tm-22 light primer strike issues

[u/Sirtornado]

I recently picked up a tm-22 and I really like it the only downside is it’s having a ton of light primer strike issues atleast once or twice a a mag on average I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it without sending it back

Mine was light striking and jamming until I took the left extractor out. Even without the left extractor I've noticed I'll get a light strike when the extractor fails to grab the round properly, happens every once in a while. 

I'm probably close to 1000 rounds through mine and it's only now starting to run fairly well. I think they have a long break-in period and they also like to run fairly dry, if you doused the thing in oil it's not gonna run very well for a bit until it dries up a little. 

I have also heard of snipping a couple loops off the firing pin spring but that seems sketchy to me. 

Just for another data point mine actually didn't like CCI ammo last time I tried it (but this was before I removed the left extractor). It runs flawlessly with Remington Thunderbolt and pretty good with Federal Auto Match.

The main consensus that I’ve gotten is removed the left extractor mine stuck in there pretty good though so I gotta figure something out

Just tap the pin out use a small punch if you’ve got one or a drill bit or Allen wrench and smack it. It only goes one way

That’s exactly what I tried. I tried tapping it out from the bottom, which is the only way it comes out and it was stuck, even after tapping it.

Hit it with your purse lol that’s strange I pulled one out of a buddies for him and it pretty much just fell out

I’ve noticed everything is really tight on this gun like the charging handle when I took the bolt out was stuck, even after I removed the screw
