Would buy this in a heartbeat if my country allowed it. It is the answer to all the problems I have with a 10-22, namely the fact that on a 10-22 in order to clean the barrel with a bristle brush (as opposed to just a bore snake), you have to not only disassemble the action from the stock, which means the tension on your action screw is gone and that is a major factor in accuracy with 10-22's... but you also have to remove the actual barrel (unless you get an after-market receiver that has a hole drilled out the back to allow for a cleaning rod). Whereas this rifle only needs a pin to be pushed out of the way to access everything and without any effect on accuracy after re-assembly. I don't know how accurate this is once it's been tricked out with a lighter trigger and good optics and suitable ammo is fed into it, but I can't imagine it'd be worst than a 10-22 and I can get clover leafs all day with mine, it's just the cleaning process is a pain in the butt. Hopefully one day common sense will return to my country and I can enjoy this, so be thankful all you have to do is switch out a few parts.
Nice review. I have just purchased my Tippmann Elite L. Could you tell me if it's possible to remove the front hinge pin. The one on mine has a small pin which sits in a groove on the pivot pin that stops me removing it. Also with mine it doesn't like American Eagle 40 grain in standard velocity. It jams on every other round. Runs flawlessly with Blazer 40 grains though.
I would not recommend purchasing this firearm due to the poor customer service experience. I recently purchased this firearm and the red dot would not fit. I sent the rifle back to Tippmann in order for them to either replace the upper receiver or “mill” the upper receiver so my red dot mount would fit. Tippmann has now had possession of my firearm for close to one month and now learn I will need to wait until other jobs for new guns are completed first. I was told when I first made the call to Tippmann that it would only take 2 weeks turnaround for the repairs. Every time I contact the representative at Tippmann, he promises to call me back, but never does. I wish Tippmann would just return my money.
@@Gruntreviews Consider yourself lucky! I finally had to escalate my disappointment to someone else, but feel nothing was done until this happened. My buddies were telling me I should have requested a refund, but stupid me will give Tippmann another chance.
@@Gruntreviews yes! The Tippman m4 22 rifles are the top tier of m4 22 rifles. The way they are built and perform is second to none! Well worth the extra cash to buy one of these over the S&W 15/22 if you can afford it. Buy once, cry once and the difference in price isn’t all that hateful. Good video 👍
Are these uppers and lowers compatible with other rifles? Could you take just this upper in a bag with your AR-15 and use this upper on another lower ?
Thank you for the 2 Tippmann reviews. Two questions for you. You mention (in the pistol review) that you wish the dust cover was aluminium or steel. Can you confirm it’s plastic? Every review I’ve seen or read states that the only plastic parts are the stock, charging handle and hand guard (on the Elite the handguard is aluminium). If it is plastic I’ll order a steel one for my incoming rifle. Also, I’ve seen reports about bad casting of the receiver. Grates , bubbles and imperfections in the metal. Especially on the inside of the receiver. Is this something you’ve noticed?
On the pistol, there's a slight casting imperfection on the lower, external right by the trigger guard. Nothing internal. Dust cover is polymer, as in the charging handle.
Best AR-15 .22 rifle, bar none.
I'd have to agree. They added updates since this video as well.

Outstanding review!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the kind words.
Is the bolt full auto for people with dias?
They have a separate NFA version for folks with licensing for such items.
Good review I wish the charging handles weren’t proprietary so I could put something non plastic on mine but oh well 1st world problems ya know
Agreed. They could've put an aluminium handle on it from the get go.
Apparently the early models had aluminium charging handles and were prone to breaking. I wish someone would produce an aftermarket one.
I gotta imagine someone will come out with one.
Tippman has an aluminum charging handle as does resilient arms

Interesting. I have not had to deal with their customer service.

@@stileshumphrey4195 That sucks 😞 Let me know how things turn out for you. Thanks.
It looks like the M P 15-22 by Smith and Wesson I have the 15-22 AR-15 rifle
The tippmann would be the next level up from the HK or the SW

@@dslife1 thank you for the kind words
Nice review!
Thank you
I have the sasp version (cuz im in it) does yours come with a metal or composite, handguard, charging handle, and top rail???
They've changed up their lineup a bit since this was published. This is aluminium receivers with a poly handguard.
What’s that red plastic piece that comes with the safety lock?
Chamber flag
I was going to ordrr this but it didnt ask for my ssn or anythibg of that sort. Should k be skeptical? 😣
Are you talking about a 4473? That's done in person at the dealer you pick it up from, assuming you're ordering online.
Good review! Can you tell me if I can put a carry handle on this rifle.
The top is standard pic rail, shouldn't be any issue using a pic rail handle on it.
How about the trigger can switch it out
In the older models, no. The newer ones are coming AR trigger compatible to my understanding. I haven't gotten my hands on one to confirm.
@@Gruntreviews what’s the new model name
@@tacraheennc9719 same name, they just updated the design and increased the price
@@Gruntreviews ohhhhh okay 👌🏽 I was wanting to sell my mp15-22 and buy this one
@@tacraheennc9719 you’ll love it. The tippmann is the king of the 22 game.

@@Gruntreviews Thank you so much. I take it it’s so tiny you really have to look for it since you didn’t mention it in the review?
@@Flaksting I had to go looking for it
I was viewer 17,000 🎉
Thank you for dropping a comment too!!!
thanks buddy (should also mention I own the Tippmann elite hunter - love it@@Gruntreviews
Where can you get magazines for this... thinking of buying one, but i cant find extra mags (necessary) before i buy it ....
PSA stocks them IIRC
@@Gruntreviews thanks, appreciate it.
