- Having a 22 in any platform is a blast at the range! The guiltless feeling of slinging as many rounds down range as you would like.... priceless!

I like it when real folks give a down to earth review of guns they've bought. Those are the kind of reviews that help me make an informed decision.
Yes sir blue collar reviews everyday we don’t care about theater and aren’t in this to pump out gun manufacturers because we aren’t bought by them and it would seem other people would see that and want to watch a real down to earth shooting.

Just came across this gun. Was looking for an informed video on its reliability. Thank you for the video and information

This was one of the videos that got me to buy one. Son and I love it. Thank you

This video convinced me to buy one. So much freakin' fun for steel plinking and some light bench shooting. I've had my TM22 all metal variant for about 3 weeks now. 500 rounds deep and one cleaning after all those rounds. I did however lube up the bolt and receiver thoroughly prior to use. I've tried every grain/velocity of Aguila, Armscor and CCI I could find, zero malfunctions. Also ran Federal plain white box 36 grain lead hollows my friend had and no problems other than a 2 failures to cycle from audibly weak loads. Guy at the gun shop also tried to sell me a M&P 15-22, I did not let him sway me to say the least. Guilt free fun brother!
Plinking with a 22 is fun for any gun guy/gal. Guilt free just like you said, thanks for watching and supporting us!
Just picked mine up. My son and I are going to the range Saturday!!
Nice let us know what you think about it. Thanks for watching and for commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you have not already.
I just bought the same model 22 and it rocks big time no jams no problems of any kind just pull that flat faced trigger and it fires. Thanks for the review.
Ohh I subscribed to your channel because of the solid no nonsense review. Thanks
Thank you sir and thanks for your support
Great video ! Just got my mine . Not disappointed at all . Gonna hit the range soon. Thanks for the video.
Lots of fun and not a single failure in over 400 rounds. I’ve never had a .22 in any platform nor have occasional issues just because it can be an unstable round in blowback operated guns. Thanks for watching and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I like them so much I bought two , that one and the one that comes without the handle
It’s the literal only .22 rifle I’ve ever had that hasn’t had a single malfunction after about 450 rounds. That’s crazy because .22 can cause some issue with even the best guns. Thanks for watching and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

Just got home from the range with this little guy. I was already aware of the issues people report in the comments here, and they arent wrong. Sent maybe 100 rounds through it (Win Super X 40gr) 2 fails to eject, 1 round got stuck in the chamber, and 1 blew up in the chamber. This was straight out of the box, bone dry. Still a ton of fun, but highly recommend cleaning/lubing it up before shooting. Going to be doing so before I go out next. If you can get it on sale, it's an awesome little rifle
We still haven’t cleaned this gun and it runs like a scolded dog. It’s been completely flawless for us. Hate to hear of others issues. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
@@GSquaredTactical I think it's just picky about the ammo. I'm new to firearms, I heard .22 is a dirty caliber, and there were definitely some shotty rounds in my box. The one that got stuck in the chamber turned out to already have a dent in the casing.
All this to say I think it's a really fun & customizable range shooter. Very budget friendly to own and shoot 👍 anybody interested shouldn't shy away from picking it up especially on a sale
Agreed
i literally just ordered myself this model like, 20 minutes ago, im stoked to let it rip.
I promise that you will not regret it. You will likely be like me, and continually be shocked and awed lol. Thanks for watching and for commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you have not already.
@@GSquaredTactical oh I for sure subbed, I’m still waiting g on my background check . Still on delayed status sadly.. first time gun buyer
😢
Look closely at the movement of the OP/ Marksman how he handle the rifle. It is so effortless. That's exactly what I feel on that same rifle. I get nothing but accurate shots, near flawless ejections, and I love leaving it on the stock iron sights. Everywhere I point that rifle, that's where the bullet lands. I have a Ruger 10/22 tactical that I really like, But I use the RIA TM-22 more. There is nothing I can say about that rifle but good. There is no way on earth I would trade that rifle for anything. I been using the CCI mini-mag 36 grain 1260 FPS. It definitely unlock the magic of the TM22. Enjoy.
I’m continually shocked by the performance of this rifle. I’m literally in awe. I’ve bought H&K MP5 22, S&W M&P 15-22, Ruger and H&K 416 and none of them performed like this one. I’d take nothing for my wood stock Ruger 10/22 but with the already unreliable 22 round I’m shocked that in nearly 1200 rounds through this gun with basically underpowered crap ammo it’s only failed 3 times to fire that I can recall and it was all ammo related as per usual with 22. Love it. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
@@GSquaredTactical Amazing! I am so glad youre enjoying you rifle. There is something about this rifle. When I look at the stock iron sight, as ling as your target is inside the O and the front pointer sight. That's where the bullet lands. I have the target set inside the range at 25 years. Its just nothing but just around bullseye perimeter. And the sound of the charging system, WoW.. Its like a small AR15 that can travel long range for a 22RL.
I want to ask you if you ever come across of an aftermarket high capacity magazines besides the stock polymer and metal, Please let us know. I want to buy 4 more. Thank you for posting an honest review.. One of these days, I'll post something too. Enjoy! Subscribed...
If I hear of any I will let you know. Thanks
Bought one at rural King's website. 149.99 ! I have yet to get the bigger 25rd mags just because of other life's necessity's. Great gun and hasn't ever miss fired, or jambed and I e put at least 200 rounds. Mostly cci. Stingers or target ammo. Blazer sometimes. Getting my background check passed was the hardest ( 6) times tried. I need precise discrimination about my name and address! They took my license and then wanted my information on where in lived, and how is everything printed! I know my drivers license number but can't remember is that a Rd or my name or middle initial!
I wasn’t even aware they made 25 round mags for it. Ours has never malfunctioned either. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

My only complaint is it's impossible to find 15rd mags for this gun anymore. I wish someone would produce an aftermarket option since there is nothing available except 10rds and 25 rds
Let me know if you find any anywhere. Thanks for watching
Finally seeing people use it, it is honestly very underrated although I will say the charging handle did get a little loose after a quite a few breakdowns to clean but besides that its worked great and been very reliable for the price, rarely fails to eject but it is the only thing that Ive noticed but besides that runs any .22lr never had a light primer strike and runs supper nice especially speed shooting

What ammunition are you shooting? I tried it with federal auto match Winchester super X and federal champion. The super X was blowing up in the firing chamber and the and the federal auto match wouldn’t shoot one bullet without jamming same with the champion jammed every shot
That’s crazy. We was literally shooting some garbage that I had in a Ziploc bag that had been sitting in my carport. Some of it had white calcium deposits on it probably the crappy 22. I had it every bit of it. Thanks for watching and for commenting and be sure to subscribe if you have not already.
great presentation, and Fun, with no B arbara S treisand. Please forgive my extreme ignorance, but how do i attach / purchace, the handle, and the front sight, that makes it just kinda like my M16A1, when i was in the Army, in 1976 ? Is it hard to find those parts, or expensive ? Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
Ours came with it in the box so I’m not sure. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Front sight comes attached, the carrying handle comes in the box and attaches with a single included Phillips head screw. Kind of hard to slide the handle on the rail, needed to tap mine. Mine would only cycle Mini Mag and Aguila Super Extra, cheap bulk was single shot. I fixed it with a cheap generic ebay spring. I posted details on thefiringline forum semi auto rifle section.

Ran some federal through mine, standard 1200fps 40gr. Every shot failure to pick up next round, bolt will close and then....click.. nothing. I've ran 400 rnds of cci clean standard and honestly at least one or two failures per mag. Kind of disappointed. And everyone else seems to be having a great time with these guns. I don't know if its the ammo or mags or gun.... I did fire about 50 rnds of cci mini mag and had zero failures so maybe only run that??
I tell you we was running some very old .22 we found in a zip lock bag just a combo of crap some had calcium deposits on them and we never had a single failure. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

Is it just mine or does anyone else mag not feeding correctly? Could it possibly be the ammo I bought?
Hard to say honestly as we have had zero issues. That’s the most shocking part of this rifle to me because .22lr in rifles or pistols are prone to issues being sometimes underpowered in a blow back design. You could try some hotter ammo but we shot crap ammo in ours and it fed fine. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

Got mine today after the draconian 3 day waiting period in Colorado. I had one failure to feed on 2nd mag and smooth as can be after that. Very happy with an AR style lightweight rifle and red dot for 199.00 out the door. Accurate as any of my bolt action .22 rifles.
It was surprising to me how awesome it was.
Dang I'm glad I saw your comment, I was gonna drive up to silverthorne (I'm in Denver) to the Murdoch's but I might have to rethink my game plan. They have them there for $129 right now.
This must be a heckuva time for inflation because I can’t seem to find it in Fort Worth Texas for under $399.
@stevemendez3535 dang dude I can still buy it here in NC for $225

Did you guys have to clean this first out of the box before taking it shooting?
I still haven’t cleaned it yet. I mean it’s a good idea to for sure we just haven’t yet after about 800 rounds. It’s on my to-do list. Thanks for watching and for commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you have not already.
Reliable as a Ruger 10/22?? Got a freind wanting to buy 22 for 16 year old son. I recommended the Ruger but these look really cool!!! Are they quality?
From our experience yes. No failures at the range! They seem very quality for the money you would oay
I’ll say this as the old guy here (Gene). I love the Ruger 10/22 and wouldn’t choose this over that for pure nostalgia reasons. Also, the Ruger is different in that it’s not an AR style 10/22. Out of all the 10/22’s I’ve ever shot I’ve never gotten through nearly 400 rounds without a single failure which is still mine blowing to me about this $150 rifle. .22 lr at is best is still finicky and the round itself can be unreliable or make a blowback rifles unreliable. For $150 I can absolutely recommend this rifle. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

Can you remove the handle and front sight to put an optic on it?
You can remove the handle not sure about front sight it may have a gas block in it.
Yes and yes. Handle comes in box, not installed. Front sight same allen size as screw for charging handle, loosen 2 screws, slides right off. Blowback operated, doesn't need front sight to operate.
What ammo did you used suppressed? I tried mine with cci sub-sonic 1050 fps ammo and had failure to cycle 100% of the time

@@GSquaredTactical would you recommend it for home defense ?
No
I just bought one of these based off of your review and man I'm so disappointed. Its a straight up piece of crap! Couldn't even get more then 10 minutes of shooting or less at the range before it became unusable. Multiple failure to feed, failure to eject and failure to fire! Then the damn magazine release broke so it wont hold either of the magazines lol. So I might have fired 15 rounds at the range before it became unusable. Wanted to put this out there for others to see so they can decide whether its worth risking the purchase. I have reached out to armscor for a warranty claim but this is ridiculous. My advice would be to spend another $100 or so and go with a better gun like a ruger 10/22.
That is absolutely wild because it seems these days every time we go to the range if we take someone new, we will bring this with us just to let them shoot it. It was so cheap. I have not even bothered to clean it or anything and to my knowledge, other than a few underpowered rounds of ammunition, this thing has been completely flawless, accurate as hell and nothing but fun times. I lost track of how many rounds we have put through it after 800 or so, and still have not cleaned it. Also, not a single other person has commented that they have had problems we have heard nothing but Praises and wonderful feedback. You must have gotten a lemon.
I would definitely contact the manufacture and make them fix it or send you a new one
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit that it was a lemon as I would definitely would be the one to attract that lol. I did reach out. I assume they will want me to send it back for them to look at it.
I have always said that if there was a lemon in 10,000 I would find it I seem to be a magnet for stuff that is a lemon but not on this one
That’s scares me
I just ordered one and I can’t return it. ;( I know you have to put a 1” washer between the bolt stop and buffer tube. But now everything you said is scaring me.
