I turned my 10/22 into a TM-22

[u/NeruLight]

Still building this one out so only a quick one here. I can’t wait to post the “and now I have two rifles” post in a couple more weeks. 😭 (this is the Fletcher RifleWorks OpenTop 11/22 Takedown Receiver).

Canadagun’s motto should be like “buy your twelfth gun first”

I have had about 5-10 light strikes in 2000rds

I had a bunch of light strikes , ran the bolt hard a few times then perfect. AAAAND the safety stopped working.

Was this the derya, plastic, ria, traditional stock, sbr? I know some of these models have qc problems. I have the original derya 18in aluminum one and it works fine

I’ve got a pro 12 and haven’t encountered a single issue in 4K rounds. Mostly the bulk CCI that come in milk cartons.

That's a QC control issue that is warrantable. After warranty I haven't had a single failure.

I always found this design interesting because it makes cleaning and bolt installation far easier. But I'm also curious about how well the optics hold zero with every reinstall.

[u/therowdyirishman]

Worth it just for not having to fiddlefuck around with the 10/22 charging handle/guide rod install during reassembly. It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of return to zero with this design vs the TM22.

[u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 → u/therowdyirishman]

It’s pretty easy to install the charging handle once you know the feel, or if you have the charging handle install tool from TandemKross/Gunsmither. There are 3D printed versions of the tool too but I don’t know the durability.

I considered the Fletcher too, but the 10/22 doesn’t need to be cleaned that often 😓 (haha)

[u/NeruLight → u/Hot_Cheesecake_905]

My too-tight TK buffer and TK trigger with like three extra screws are even more reasons why I prefer this setup! I actually have the TK gunsmither tool and although it isn’t really needed for removal I do find it helpful for reinstall. The absolute worst is the Adler RF-224 receiver however, that one is practically designed to slice your fingers lol

[u/Status_Ticket5044 → u/NeruLight]

Reinstalling the bolt and charging handle on an RF-224 is as bad as or worse than a 10/22 PLUS sharper edges. Can concur. TM-22 is def easier but you're disturbing zero and wearing out the aluminum where the screws thread.

[u/NeruLight → u/Status_Ticket5044]

Yeah the scariest thing is how thin the TM-22 receiver is. My RF-224 is always falling apart now because all the pins and screws are super loose. The buffer pin slides right through

[u/Haunting-Goose5368]

So you want misfires every magazine lol

[u/NeruLight → u/Haunting-Goose5368]

Yeah my particular TM-22 doesn’t have an issue with light strikes, but it can’t feed hollow points lmao

[u/DougMacRay617]

Interested, please post more

Backwards evolution theory except everything gets turned into a tm22 instead of a crab

[u/NeruLight → u/Dramatic_Ebb2315]

One day the rogue AI just decided to turn everything into TM-22s, but r/Canadaguns had already beaten it to the punch! Ha!!

[u/JaxIsLoud]

When it can take tm22 mags let me know .

[u/NeruLight → u/JaxIsLoud]

Best I can do is HC3R mags lol
