Hey all, I'm looking for a little insight. My TCM rifle is have random misfires due to light strikes. I sent it back to rock island and supposedly they fixed it. Well I got it back, sighted it in, and had 2 more light strikes in about 20 rounds. Can anyone give me a step by step on how to disassemble the bolt?
Factory ammo?

bighoss11, send joejo a pm on this forum. He is the one to advise you on the light strikes. Also check http://www.22tcm.net/ to see if any one there can help you.

Thanks for the info. And yes, factory ammo.
bighoss11, I forgot to tell you that my rifle barrel was loose. My gun smith tightened it up and used blue loctite. I hate getting old where I can't remember stuff! Anyway, that could well be the cause of your light strikes.

Well I have got bored with the tcm. I finally got it to shoot around 1 inch at 100 but not the velocity I wanted. The short barrel lost the velocity. It now resides under my truck seat for road critters. I'd say as long as you are under 200 yards you can hurt groundhogs.
I can relate to being bored with a firearm, joejo. I plan to keep playing with it to see where it will lead me. Got a new Contender barrel in 22 tcm. Stay tuned, maybe something will stir your interest again.

I guess I just expected too much from it. I thought it wouldn't be a problem getting this little bugger to shoot in the .75-.5 range. no dice . I did shoot a groundhog with it the other day at about 120 yards. nothing impressive but hey, it has one under its belt.
I picked up an old rem788 in 222 I am going to toy with for a while. I heard they were suppose to be quite accurate.
lbaize3 I did check out that link to the tcm forum. it was pretty neat to see guys with such interest in the rifle. I would love to see a target with 5-5 shot groups at 100 yards under an inch.

Did you get your shortened barrel(s) yet?Originally Posted by HATCH
I'm very interested to see how much change there is in velocity going from 22" to 16" with H110.
Going to do that tomorrow morning. Range visit next weekend if the weather is nice

OK Hatch, what bullet is that?
I just finally got to handle one of these a few days ago. Seems awfully large and heavy for what it is. I wonder if they will make a slimmer lighter version of it at some point? For now, gonna stick with my Hornets.
