Fixed and Floated | Making the Tippmann M4-22 More "Serviceable"

[@steveruzicka5874]

I love the set up. Looks great.

[@WilliamCChapin]

Thanks Steve…and thanks for the good pricing on the parts. 👍

[@MrBackyardwilderness]

Fun video to watch and you gave great ideas and insights to future projects with my Tippmann M4-22. Thank you and we'll done.

[@WilliamCChapin]

Thanks…I appreciate your interest!

[@billyhaddock5540]

William, ur tippmann m4-22 rifle turned-out awesome with the ar15 parts.. it will be a little bit heavier with those parts. enjoy ur improved rifle..

[@WilliamCChapin]

@@billyhaddock5540 Yes, it has the weight of a service rifle, and it is super fun to shoot. Thanks for the note. 🙂

[@jeffreyjohn1691]

I love the A2 look. Nice job!

[@WilliamCChapin]

Thanks. It’s quite nice to shoot too! 👍

[@viejo2a]

Pretty cool stuff, Curtis. I’m not much of a builder, but enjoy watching you with your projects! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸

[@WilliamCChapin]

Thanks, Walter! The Tippmann has been a fun rifle. 🙂

[@TinManReloading]

Great setup and work, Curtis! Love the shim work. Thats a good solution. This should work well to match your other service rifle. Nice shooting on that target too!!!

[@WilliamCChapin]

Thanks, Kurtis. The indoor position shooting is a lot of fun. In previous years before the Tippmann, I usually shot my Ruger K77/22-VBZ with a Leupold Rimfire scope.

[@dslife1]

That is awesome man!! Nice work 👍👍

[@WilliamCChapin]

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. 🙂

Triggertech diamond flat...single most incredible upgrade

[@WilliamCChapin]

Have you run one in a Tippmann M4-22? So far, none of my match triggers have been compatible. Tippmann recommends the Elftmann Drop-In.

[@WilliamCChapin]

@@Guide504 Thanks for the input. 👍

[@harmungus]

Have you tried the MBT2 trigger from Larue? I hadn't seen that free float handguard either, it's an interesting setup. The Tippman barrel 'clamp' instead of the extension is kind of novel.. makes sense to turn that notch into the barrel for indexing.

[@WilliamCChapin]

Yes, I have two of them, and I like them! The Tippmann M4-22 has some proprietary parts (the selector is one of them) and the ACT is one of the few “improved” triggers that will drop in. I almost bought another MBT from Steve at DART to try in the Tippmann!

[@user-td6yv6lr7p]

2.65 inches, good to know thanks, I am considering an A2 Stock

[@WilliamCChapin]

Short, but not too big around.

[@tonytran3094]

Hi . Could you make a video for Tippmann arm m4 .22 bolt and ejector disassembly . Thanks

[@WilliamCChapin]

Hi Tony! Is there something specific about the bolt and ejector that you’re looking for? I haven’t done anything more than wipe it clean. 🙂

[@jamespollard1670]

I didn't know they made a free float m4 style fore grip ?

[@WilliamCChapin]

I suppose it’s an A2/A4 handguard since it’s rifle length. Since there’s no gas block on a blowback action, the 16” barrel isn’t a problem.

[@الحقأبلج-ح9ص]

1:58 I couldn't loosen those four small alen screws on the original hand guard? Too tight 😡

[@WilliamCChapin]

Hmm…I don’t recall having any problem removing them. Perhaps thread locker was used - a little heat may help if that’s the case.

[@REBELSCL]

Wow! I don’t mean to be impolite but how much did you spend on extras?

[@WilliamCChapin]

Steve gave me a good deal on the float tube and stock, so with the ALG ACT trigger I probably added about $250, plus the scope, which was under $200 from Champions Choice at Camp Perry last year. All said and done, it was maybe $500 to turn it into what I wanted. Thanks for watching!

[@REBELSCL]

@@WilliamCChapin Thanks much for the info… Your video is very inspiring. I have a Tippmann M4 Elite rifle and may use some of your tips…

[@WilliamCChapin]

@@REBELSCL A couple weeks ago I discovered that the 50 foot indoor zero (I’ve been using the same zero for all three positions) with CCI Standard Velocity works at 150 yards with cheap CCI Blazer. It’s super fun to shoot! Thanks for the note!

[@randygoff9420]

Will you sell me the original parts you removed ?

[@WilliamCChapin]

That would be quite out of character for me - I keep nearly everything!

Hello there! 👋

[@DhdhEiwbdi]

@@WilliamCChapin hi

[@janik1691]

Seems like Tippmann has found the most moronic way to attach a barrel.

[@WilliamCChapin]

I don’t see it that way. Their approach allows a simple, straight taper barrel to be mounted with standard barrel nuts. Since it’s blowback, no receiver extension is needed for lockup. It makes sense to me.

[@janik1691]

@@WilliamCChapin At first I thought it's a bit different design, but after seeing a pic with removed barrel it seems to be ok. Still would love to see a dummy barrel extension in end of a barrel.

[@WilliamCChapin]

It's a super fun .22LR, I have really enjoyed it! Thanks for your comments. 🙂

[@janik1691]

@@WilliamCChapin It truly is. I shot a couple mags through it few months ago, but I'm still maybe going with Nordic or CMMG upper. You have a quite entertaining videos!

[@WilliamCChapin]

@@janik1691 Thanks! I appreciate that. 🙂
