Tippmann Arms M4 22

[mrclark303]

Morning all, does anyone have an example of these apparently rather smart and impressive .22lr carbines.

By the various reports I have read they apparently have exceptional reliability and very acceptable accuracy for the price point.

I am guessing the excellent reliability is largely down to Tippmanns new design bolt group that fully uses the KISS (keep it simple stupid) design principal.

Instead of the Spikes/CMMG "Ciener? type" self contained group, Tippmann appear to have massively simplified things by using a simple one piece bolt assembly that fully reciprocates using the buffer.

It even has a fully functional last round hold open and (largely irrelevant) forward assist.

The only downside I can see is the lower isn't apparently fully standard AR and can't be used on other AR's and I would like to see a little more barrel information.

Very tempted, I hope they make a full length A4 build.

Edit... Just occurred to me the bolt design would easily lend itself to .22 WMR by adding greater mass. A new WMR AR choice would be good.
