Twice this video has saves my behind. Im not sure what i keep doing but when reassembling, tge barrel tilts down and locks up. I have to punch out all the pins and disassemble the slide. Ive built ar-15s piece by piece but this is what gives me trouble. Cant explain it. Thank you for your video
Most excellent demonstration. You paced your video with excellent photography so that one could understand completely. I took your information a few steps further and removed the trigger assembly and fire control group. Just a careful polish of the trigger bar, striker and "sear" interfaces and clean up of the factory "left overs" and the trigger is markedly improved...yes, a long take-up but much smoother and a lighter/crisper let off and a great reset. My many thanks.
That extractor will come out if you pull it through. Mine came out with no trouble it really just fell out. But this video is awesome, it really helped me take mine down for cleaning. Thanks!! 👍🏻
I tpp discovered that that extractor will fall out easily when I spray non-chlorinated brake cleaner in the hole. I held the slide over a trash can. Luckily there was only a few sheets of paper in the trash can so I could easily see it rather than need to dig through a bunch of trash. One just needs to pivot the extractor back and forth and gently pull it out.
Definitely going to put this video in the basket for later use! I love that little gun! The best .22lr pistol I've ever had, probably have around 2k rounds through it and not any issues whatsoever with exception of a particular round that mine doesn't like, Remington HP with the funky shaped bullet, thanks for the info!
THANK YOU! I just got a barely used TX and I took mine apart to clean it and the striker block fell out. Had no clue what it was or where it went. Until I found this video. Thanks.
Thanks bro I took mine apart because the slide wasn’t going forward. Got it apart then couldn’t get it back together. After watching your video I realized my striker broke but also learned how to put it back together anyways thanks for the video
Excellent video and explanation, I will probably be doing this after the next few hundred rounds. I took mine out again today and put another 12 mags through it with my suppressor on. It is an awesome little gun, I hope they come out with a long barrel model too. Thanks for the disassembly video, it sure helps.
DANG Good Job --- Fast, Clear, to the Point, Good Focus. Well Done, one of the best Videos on doing something I have seen. Thanks, if I ever decide to buy a TX22 this will help.
I learned how to do this in 2 days after I bought the tx22. Very straight forward pistol to take apart, however the first time it might be a little difficult. It’s way easier after just two range trips. I recommend to clean it very good before you shoot it for the first time, and it does take around 100 rounds+ to break it in and it’s still changing. The trigger feel is way better.
Very informative video, brother. I've got mine ordered. I pick it up Thursday!!!! Can't wait!!!! It looks like if a person started having light primer strikes, you could take a touch of material off of the forward end of the striker block, allowing more travel, for it to strike the rim a little deeper. Just a thought... Of course, too much protrusion, would allow it to strike the metal. So, no more dry firing. Wow. This gun is a GREAT design. Impressive.
Nice video. I shoot many thousands of rounds through my TX22. As a rimfire, it eventually gets filthy with powder residue. I clean it occasionally. But never as fully disassembled as this. Maybe I might next time. But I cleaned it today😂. Fantastic gun, and cheap
👍🏼👍🏼 excellent.. now go back and add the part about the extractor dropping out 😜😜, it will wiggle out , you don't need to remove block..thanks we all appreciate the help.
Wonderful video sir. I took my pistol apart for a good cleaning. That was the easy part. My reassembly seemed correct but checked your video to be sure. Nope, had the extractor and spring messed up. Watched your video and got everything fixed. Once again, thank you sir.
How was the rifling in the bore? I've read that some barrels have rough bores that cause lots of leading. When informed, Taurus has replaced those poorly machined barrels with hopefully correctly machined barrels. Every owner of a TX22 should check for the damaged bores.
Great video - thanks for putting it out there! The striker housing on my TX22 won't budge. I am hesitant to start prying or tapping at it. Did yours always come out as easily as it does on your video?
Love your videos. You convinced me to buy an M&P 15-22. Do you have any suggestions on what to do with my feed ramp on my TX-22? I have had a few failure to feeds. The rounds get stopped half way into the chamber, even after I clean it. Even Mini-Mags.
Only time this happened to me was the rounds not loaded properly in the mag, my gf didn't give it a tap and make sure they were seated. Other than that this thing eats everything, even. 25 year old dirty remington ammo.
Couldn’t get my extractor out . Excellent video in my saved ones. Dropped blocker spring there is people that make enough money in the time I spent looking for it they could buy a new gun😂
My extractor flew into a trash can when I spayed cleaner into the hole. Luckily I could see in in the bottom of the trash bag. One only needs to pivot the extractor back and forth and gently pull it out. It may fall out if there is not a lot of dirty oil or grease holding it in. I likely over lubed my firearm a few times which can capture soot.
Luckily I only used non-chlorinate brake cleaner to clean out the hole where the extractor is located and lucky I held the slide over a trash can with a bag with nothing more than a few sheets of paper in it. If I used an air compressor outside I likely would not have been able to find the extractor. There really needs to be a sticky posting at the top to warn others about how the extractor can fall out after it is pivoted into the right position.
@@Catgat37 I appreciate brevity but what? What parts. Be clear please. I have many semi auto pistols and the lube points are similar. I was commenting on the video not pointing out lube points. It is a good teardown video. Cheers.
@@gmcjetpilot I am referring to the main point of this video. You do not want to lube the striker and striker assembly. Not really many other lube points on the TX22 slide. The majority of lube points are on the frame.
My slide would not break loose, even with the takedown lever lowered. Others have complained of the same problem with new pistols. If you've followed all the other steps and the slide won't budge, give it a good whack from the rear to the front, while holding the takedown lever down. That should get the slide loose and then you can proceed as normal.
good lord, The normally accessible stuff in take down is easy enough but this mass of stuff in the back is like taking apart several different models of pens.... dropping them in a bucket,... then making the pens again :D
I have some aluminum shavings in my slide after shooting for the first time they are very fine like powder but they are definitely aluminum all over the inside of the inside rails
I own a TX22. I love it. The most reliable 22lr pistol I have ever owned. But something disturbs me: At 5:10 in, it shows that the plastic housing stop prevents the striker from ruining the barrel. I don't think that is a good design because as the plastic piece wears, it will allow the striker to hit the side of the chamber.
Friend from 2yrs ago, i had the same problem. Turned out the rear site screw was digging into the polymer striker housing. Unfortunately i really boogered up that housing when removing it. Without the rear sight screw digging in, the housing slides out freely
Can someone tell me how to adjust the recoil spring in TX22? I think this is my issue, it is not ejecting spent shells and sometimes doesn’t fully eject. It’s brand new and right now garbage to me. Can’t get through a magazine with out multiple issues. Shooting CCI and Federal. Help
Robert Cowart are you sure its not your ejector? Maybe even the spring that retains the plunger. Call Taurus they might send you a new recoil spring. Mine works flawlessly.
Buy a stainless guide rod assembly from lakeline accessories. not only functions better but it will protect your gun by replacing the polymer junk guiderod from chewing up the aluminum slide by adding the lake line
@Alan Simon I talked to Al from lakeline about the nylon bushing in the front of the newer ones that are painted black as opposed to the one that I got that was the first generation it doesn't have the nylon washer on it but whether you know this or not he added that as an extra precaution for people that are having problems with the aluminum slide breaking right there at those two corners at the top of your slide where the guide rod goes through. now the most important part of the whole setup as Al told me is to make sure that you put that guide rod spring at 12:00 as you would look at the face of a clock as you were looking down the barrel and that puts the spring in the strongest part of the top of the slide where the most pressure is exerted. to be honest there's not that much difference between the two, the nylon washer is just a way to for better lack of words calm people's worries about the slide breaking in the front. And in Al's opinion those that choose to shoot really hot ammunition through there pistol. The standard velocity ammunition will cycle and do less damage to your tx22 in my opinion. The actual chewing up of the slide is not related to the bushing at all it has to do with the angles of which they grind the spring ,and if put in position to where it is top dead center it won't grind up the slide of your gun. I hope a little bit of that made sense.
The only issue I had getting the extractor back in was due to having large hands. Getting the extractor out allows one to clean out the opening. The opening in mine was very dirty. Now that it is clean the extractor appears to pivot back and forth more freely.
1:41 Striker Block Spring. Don't lose that LITTLE spring, Taurus will not sell it to you, and they want you to send whole gun in on your dime, costing well over $100 with shipping.. Fortunately you can get them aftermarket, not OEM but close enough for $5-$15 with shipping. Just don't lose it.
Mine stuck back after oiling and trying to reassemble and will not go forward. Locked back and frozen... Feels like the slide is hung up os something. Taurus says 12 weeks to get it serviced. Brand new never been fired. Should of known better than to get a taurus!!!
John Hojnowski I burned the Ruger wagon, after my last 2 Ruger purchases. Piece of shit 10/22, and a piece of shit LCR. IM DONE WITH RUGER! Period. Present day Taurus has passed present day Ruger, in my opinion. That could not have been said, two years ago...Hickok45 had some type of failure on every magazine, with the Ruger 9mm carbine, and the Ruger 556 wouldn't even function good enough to do a video with it. He said that himself. Of course, he made excuses for both firearms. I won't make excuses for sending JUNK out the door, for consumers to waste their hard earned money on. Don't just take my word on Ruger's present day quality issues. Do some research. Or go buy one. LOL
Slow down a bit there seabisquit 🏇 It's obvious you've done it before but the point of the video is to show how it's done..👎👎oh and the extractor pops out with a wiggle once the plunger and spring are removed 😮😊
Are you ADHD? Are you on speed? Why did you take it apart so quickly? Someone who is new to this firearm cannot learn the basics here! Redo the video dude!

Thanks for the thorough tear down demonstration. I had to go through several incomplete videos to find this one.
Just like tools in the toolbox and manuals on the shelf, useful videos like this get bookmarked as guides for future maintenance. Good job.
Thank you!

Do you recommend polishing any of the parts to make the action any smoother?
In the service, we used pipe cleaners to get down in that little slot on the assembly. It holders the cleaner better than a toothpick
THANK YOU, EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION, PURCHASED TX22 WAS MISSING THE PLUNGER AND PLUNGER SPRING, HAD TO SEND TO TAURUS FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIR.
Very nice video! I just picked one up yesterday at the Academy. 👍
Thanks for the video.. finally deep cleaned after 5000 rounds or so.. wanted to make sure i had it together right.. great video.
Very very clear and informative. Thank You Sir; needed that. 👍🏾

That’s incredible, I would not dare do it. I have butter fingers and most definitely lose something
Have put over a 1000 rounds and great!it really needs a cleaning great video.
Very useful video, thank you! You helped us a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your patience with that .22 rimfire. Those tiny springs have a life of their own, and disappear into space.
Thanks for this. Our TX22 should arrive tomorrow. This will help a bunch.
Yeah, no.
I'm definetly gonna stick with the regular cleaning.
Nice work man

The striker housing on my TX22 won't budge. I am hesitant to start prying or tapping at it. Did yours always come out as easily as it does on your video?
I recently purchased one of these as I was cleaning it, a wire came loose in the mag well; would you happen to know what that is?
There is a wire on that pushes on the mag release

@Youcanvids Yes it's working flawlessly now.
Had a couple feeding issues myself. Buffed the ramp til it shines with a Dremel. No issues since.
@@yungdro1972 What was the fix??? Comment from @Youcanvids was removed. I'm having the same issue.

Good video lots of, easy to follow, info. Plus didn't have to set through half the video telling about the weapon, in general. Thanks!
Excellent informative video, 5 star, thk you
Thank You!
Excellent job. Just bought a TX22 today. :-)
How often does this need to be done for cleaning ?
Couldn’t get my extractor out . Excellent video in my saved ones. Dropped blocker spring there is people that make enough money in the time I spent looking for it they could buy a new gun😂

Dry fire safe is awesome.. Getting one
will gun still function if you remove the safety lever?
Thank you for making this
Btw the ejector does come out. You find out things the hard way when using air compressors on tiny parts.
Luckily I only used non-chlorinate brake cleaner to clean out the hole where the extractor is located and lucky I held the slide over a trash can with a bag with nothing more than a few sheets of paper in it.

You do not want to lube these parts.

Have you seen any wear to the inside on the polymer couplings due to dry firing?
My slide would not break loose, even with the takedown lever lowered. Others have complained of the same problem with new pistols. If you've followed all the other steps and the slide won't budge, give it a good whack from the rear to the front, while holding the takedown lever down.

Damn, ima just take it to my gunsmith dude. I’d totally lose something.
Thank you for the great tutorial.
"Make sure you put that in a place that's not gonna get lost". Check... F#@K, I lost it.
I lost mine to fixed it with a ink pen spring
Thanks for the help
Awesome video bro thanks 🤙🏼

I’m having a hard time sourcing out magazines for the TX 22
lockedloaded.com had supply of tx22 mags (16rd) reasonably prices at 14.99 this past June '20.
Andrew Szekely no joy for 16 round TX22 mags
lol, thanks a lot. i took mine alert and put it back together and found that housing block spring in the floor😳
Thanx!!!! Well done

How would the grip size be for 10-12 year old?
I had my 12 year old hold it. He has very small hands. His finger barely reached to the face of the trigger, but his hand is very small.
Is it absolutely necessary to take it down that far to clean it?
No. I just thought I would show how to do it in case somebody needs to do this. I would do this every 1000 rounds or so.
It's according to how clean that you like to keep your firearms.... Totally up to you.

Has any body having slide cracking or gouging do to recoil rod???
Oh this is so helpful, I'm terrible!
outstanding.
Why do I actually what to Disassemble the gun that much, I regularly lean mine but not that far
It might be dry fire safe but it isn't Taurus parts quality safe. just sheared the top off my striker during a dry fire session.
Oh man. Did you contact Taurus?
unable to take apart. video is not clear.
Yes, you can take the extractor out, turn it upside down, wiggle in it and it'll fall out, that makes it a bitch to reassemble but worth the lesson.
The only issue I had getting the extractor back in was due to having large hands. Getting the extractor out allows one to clean out the opening. The opening in mine was very dirty. Now that it is clean the extractor appears to pivot back and forth more freely.

Have you figured anything out with it yet?
@@gunsaccessories8853 No took to 2 gunsmiths and I guess I am going to send back to Taurus.

Go way too fast on slide disassembly. Instructional should be geared toward someone who has never disassembled.
EASY FIX...SLOW DOWN THE VIDEO!
You go WAY TO FAST!
Slow down the video speed.
It didnt help for me. Now my gun is in peices
Because you're a 10year old kid. Your parents know you playing with big boy toys?
Are you ADHD? Are you on speed? Why did you take it apart so quickly? Someone who is new to this firearm cannot learn the basics here! Redo the video dude!
