Anyone on here own one?
Looking for the cons on them. Interwebs is full of sponsored reviews and tend to be one sided.
Theres a monthly rimfire-only walls of steel type shoot down here so it'd be used for that.
New Tippmann M4-22 pistol
Don't really consider myself to be a tacti-cool commando but I guess you just can't resist the itch that needs to be scratched forever. May I introduce my new Tippmann M4-22 Micro pistol in 22LR. Never gave any thought to a rimfire AR pistol until I recently got my Dead Air Mask 22 supressor...www.northeastshooters.com
Haven't found any yet. Usually shoot Mini Mags but have shot Federal, Lapua and Thunderbolt with zero issues. Knock wood.Any particular ammo it doesn't work well with?
Hers is 32XXX if that means anything.Is the serial number greater or less than 20,000? (seems to be a turning point according to the forums, proprietary vs common spec stuff)
Tippmann uses a funky proprietary mag design, no cheaper aftermarkets to my knowledge.I picked one up. but still haven’t shot it yet. I’m impressed with the build. Does anyone have a good source for spare Tippman mags that are not $28 each? would like to pick up a few.
yeah unfortunately I noticed they are proprietary. just wondering if there was a reasonable source for them that wasn’t msrp.Tippmann uses a funky proprietary mag design, no cheaper aftermarkets to my knowledge.
Ran mine last Sunday at the New Bedford Steel Plate match. Digested Federal Auto Match without a hiccup. I've also used Norma Tac 22 and Mini Mags which also ran fine.Trying to narrow down what won't for for ammo.
Anything plated works well (according to the forums)
What's the most distance you would shoot in that match? Just trying to get a feel for accuracy and if I should swap in a dedicated 22 barrel in case I do that sometime.Ran mine last Sunday at the New Bedford Steel Plate match.

so, a 200yds drop on the subsonic 22lr will be around 7 MRAD, on most scopes at max magnification it would be close to the base of the reticle, so it would not go beyond that.What's the most distance you would shoot in that match?

Twenty five yardsWhat's the most distance you would shoot in that match? Just trying to get a feel for accuracy and if I should swap in a dedicated 22 barrel in case I do that sometime.
Thanks, I think I'd be ok for that.Twenty five yards
i sent a notice a bit before of caliber armory doing a sale on norma tac-22 - get it while it is in stock, they limit it to a case - 20 packs. it is worth it.Thanks, I think I'd be ok for that.
@paul73 , I have a bull barrel PRS style 10/22 for the long distance games. I put a 20 MOA Raul on it. Decided on my own to zero at 50. Seems that is a popular choice. Thx
Brophy's in Middleboro had some at a fair price As good or a little better than mail order.yeah unfortunately I noticed they are proprietary. just wondering if there was a reasonable source for them that wasn’t msrp.
Thanks I grabbed 3 more when Aim Surplus had them in stock. I should be good now.Brophy's in Middleboro had some at a fair price As good or a little better than mail order.
They make industrial sewing machines and looms too. They used to have a contract for making M2 Browning parts and various other millings/castings for gattling guns. I'm sure due to their gig similar to Ruger's Pine Tree Casting division making parts for FN or someone else got them interested in full manufacture.didn't know they made guns too. they make great paintball guns, can run them all day without a hiccup. my friends with their gucci automags and autocockers were always breaking down and I never had a problem. drop on the ground, smash on a tree, run and dive or knee slide into a bunker, thing just kept ticking. there was a lot of value to be willing to play hard when other people were afraid to scratch their $2k autococker setup
Question, would a Ruger American mag fed bolt action be a good platform to shoot in these types of rifle steel challenge matches, or is a semi-auto the way to go ?so, a 200yds drop on the subsonic 22lr will be around 7 MRAD, on most scopes at max magnification it would be close to the base of the reticle, so it would not go beyond that.
from what i understand most ranges would be within 100-120 yds, like 40-60-100 combos, so you shoot it with the scope zeroed at 50yds and it stays on 0.
also keeping in mind that short zero for 50 is around 25yds.
i am not shooting those matches, to be clear. want to, but, still only on a sidelines.Question, would a Ruger American mag fed bolt action be a good platform to shoot in these types of rifle steel challenge matches, or is a semi-auto the way to go ?
Owned a 15-22 years ago and looking for a .22 AR as a trainer again. What do you like better about the Tippmann?I got mine in May, previously had the MP 15-22 and can honestly say this one is on a whole different level. View attachment 623835
The quality, cannot compare. I took it out of the box and without any adjustments was hitting targets at 50 yards,Owned a 15-22 years ago and looking for a .22 AR as a trainer again. What do you like better about the Tippmann?
Considering the 11” pistol myself
Most all the Tipp's components are AR millspec so if your into the AR bling your GTG for accessorizing .Owned a 15-22 years ago and looking for a .22 AR as a trainer again. What do you like better about the Tippmann?
