TM22 vs TM22 LIGHT COMPARISON

I wanted to do a side by side comparison of the TM22 and TM22 Light. RIA updated the thumb safety...the lever is now similar to AR type safety, it flip down to fire. Tested the rifle using CCI MiniMag and had no issues. With CCI SV, I had an issue where the bolt would not lock back. With Winchester and Federal ammo, it would not cycle.

HI, that's a great video, I just got my self a feather one,and the only thing i heard from almost everyone,you need to find out what ammo your rifle likes, after than that, it suppose be a good rifle.

Thanks, yea I did an ammo test when the TM22 first came out, and so far, both of the ones I have like CCI MiniMag.

Is the hardguard interchangeable on the feather lite tm22? I want to get one but I don't like the plastic handguard I want to take that off and put an m Lok handguard like the original tm22

From the design of the handguard mounting location and fastener, it is not a direct swap from the TM22 to the Light. TM22 HG is held in place by a fastener to the extended portion of the top rail/cover. While in the Light, everything is held in place by a threaded barrel and nut to hold the HG to the receiver. I am sure that with minor modifications, you can get it to work, but that would negate the reason for choosing the Light version. I believe the clam shell HG can accept mlok accessories. Thanks for commenting.

@@redarmory oh okay I got ya. Thank you for the quick reply and I appreciate your detailed response as well. I've been trying to figure this out for a few days but nobody had an answer. Thanks again. And thanks for the video

@@redarmory the reason I was asking in the first place is because I like the light version, I like the stock on it and it's $100 cheaper of course, but I'm not a huge fan of the m4 style handguard. I like the AR style M-lock. And on the regular TM 22 I don't like the stock I like the one that's on the light version lol

@joem1565 I too would prefer a full-length HG on the Light version. If I come across something that might work well to swap out the clam shell, I'll post a video of it.

@@redarmory awesome man thanks! How easy is it to swap out the stock on the regular TM 22 that does have the m lock handguard? Because I'm thinking about just grabbing that one instead then. the fact that it's got an all-metal lower, already has the handguard that I want, that would probably be the smarter decision rather than have to try to alter the other one and finesse it to work with that style handguard. Either way I'll be looking out for your videos to see if you do end up finding a solution for the lite version. Thanks again for the videos and for getting back to me as quick as you did.
