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).

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.

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)

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

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.

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
