Looking for a range plinker, anyone tried the tippmann m4 .22?
Wondering how they compare with the smith & wesson M&p 15-22

FWIW I have heard good things about the tippmann. If it was me Id get which ever had the cheapest mags :thumbsup:
I have an M4 Elite , I have tried the S&W MP 22 and also Kriss Defiance . The Kriss 's balance was to far forward for me so I didn't like it . The S&W MP22 has a nice balance but just feels to light . The Tippman has the balance and weight right for me , and it is real simple to clean just the same as an AR15 . I have only been out once with the Tippmann due to the Covid bullsh1t but I have found it probably prefers round nose to hollow points.
If it is just a range toy the S&W would probably be a better bet , however they can be fussy on ammunition .And the Poms love them ( S&W) for competition rifles For me the Tippman wins out because it is more of an AR15 clone .
How did you find the triggers between the 2?
here i come again , gun city today is selling the aquila 22lr for $40-500, it's cheap because it' s cheap and dirty. the Kriss, the sw&mp will not cycle the ammo at all, the tippman will shoot 100-150 without jamming. the only downside is the mag, it's like a match box needs to pull open to load.
I prefer the match box mag to my Hammerli mags which are just open and more likely to get crud in there and jam up.
Anyone wanna buy a Hammerli? Haha

The triggers are pretty much the same , a bit of creep and then let off . The S&W has an advantage as it can accept more aftermarket triggers.you will not get a match trigger from a stock S&W/Tippmann .
All three rifles - Tippman, Kriss and SW will accept AR milspec and most drop in triggers.
My son has the Tippman and it is a very well put togther rifle and his one is very accurate . I cant comment on the others but i would recommenced Tippman .

I was shooting mine for a few hours yesterday. They are a great little rifle and I really like the fact that the AR features like the forward assist and bolt release actually work unlike some other models. Even has a wee buffer.
Mine The little buffer went lose , locktited it ran flawlessly. Once more don’t like the way the magazine is loading causing a few problems if not stag correct.
Is it possible to use standard style rings on the tippmann or do you have to use a cantilever style mount?
Standard
Anyone done a trigger upgrade on their tippmann?
I have put a rise armament 3.5lb works fine. It’s similar to kriss can’t fit certain types of drop in ones.
Where did you pick that up from, are you able to bring in these ar style triggers?Quote:
