Pretty cool! Looks like you got a folder on there too. Throw it in the backpack and go for a hike. Do you have experience with other AR22s (CMMG et. Al.)? I'm curious to know your thoughts on how the Tippmann works and how it compares?

 

I don't have the bug out version; (Yet!!) but tried the Tippmann because I kept breaking the back plate of the frame rails and firing pins on the CMMG dedicated uppers I have. One of the Tippmanns has just over 50k rounds thru it and no broken parts yet. Honestly haven't pulled the CMMGs out of the safe because the Tippmann just keeps chugging along.

I have also found they are just as accurate, if not wee bit better then the CMMGs I have.

 

Looks nice, congratulations bro !

 

I've always wanted to do this because I feel like it would honestly be practical in my parts of the world

 

I can not verify personally that it will work but I have seen positive reports on other web sites. Don't know if they had to modify anything.

 

CJT50... re; broken back plate and firing pin...if you haven't already, you might run a bead of weld at the upper rear plate/rail joint, and add a Bore Buddy firing pin and extractor....my welding is pretty sloppy, but functional.... the previous Bore Buddy pin just broke with >18000 rounds of CCI SV on my CMMG B unit..I have a friend that will weld a gusset plate if needed.... I get exceptional support from Bryan B and CMMB customer service....Steel Challenge puts much more strain on my SBR'd AR than I thought it would, for me over 1200 rounds a month... broke a hammer last month... regards

 

Mine were welded there and still broke on 3 different units. Granted I'm using a steady diet of 1200 - 1260 bulk pack ammo and I think it's just stressing the system in my configuration. CMMG has always been great about replacing broken stuff but when I broke my primary and backup at a match I was little upset.

 

I'm a bit surprised at that. I wouldn't see that part enduring a lot of stress in a normal configuration.

That said, the Tippman solution of returning the function of the action spring to the receiver extension is smart. I modified a bolt frame to allow the CMMG bolt to operate via a spring in the receiver extension. but I could not find the right spring weight to make it all work.

I'd love to see a Tippman BCG/buffer and spring kit for CMMG barrels.

 

me, i love my tippman bugout. special magazine but the little bugger just eats all ammo.

 

Great looking rig! I've always wanted a Tippman. Will the possible law change regarding the stock change it.

Love my Tippmann Micro. Have to yank the brace off of it though.

 

You can always put a 16" barrel on the Micro, sort of defeats the purpose of having a compact gun but the great thing about the M4-22 is you have a lot of options with swapping parts and upgrading.
