r/TippmannArms

just recently bought a tippman m4-22 elite. Liking it a lot so far but had a few questions. I experienced a few failures to return to battery while shooting the first 150 rounds. Cleaned it, and started loading the magazine correctly (as opposed to toploading), and it shot the next 75 with no failures. Just wondering if thats normal or if anyone else experienced a break in period with a higher failure rate?

Also curious if its normal for the rear opening of the upper receiver where the bolt goes to be assymetric like this

I received my new barrel from Desert Precision Gunworks on Saturday afternoon. I finished installing it yesterday and took it to the range today. I will own the flyer on the 50 yard and 2 flyers on the 100 yard targets.

I am a happy camper. :D

I was able to shoot a 9-round group that was 1.2" at 100 yards with the stock barrel.

I can't wait to see how it shoots now! Kenny at DPG test-fired this barrel before he sent it to me and got 5 x 5-round groups at 50 yards with an average group size of 0.24"!

Owned it a while. Just got around to shooting it for the 1st time. Primary Arms SLX worked great for it. Have 10 mags and shot 250rds of cci mini mag and AR tactical. Zero problems. Super easy to get tight groups. Already have a CMC 2.5lb trigger but wanted to make sure it ran okay with stock trigger.

Only negative is the bolt seems a bit sticky.

Otherwise super pleasant to shoot and easy to be accurate. 💪

I got the rail off and I’m trying to install the folding stock adapter but there’s this plug on the inside where the buffer tube feeds through. I’m struggling to get it off and I’m not trying to do irreversible damage. It’s the bugout elite.
