22LR rifle at Blackwood Station Outfitters as of this morning (Friday May 7th).
Pretty jazzed to come across one in the area.
 
Fun gun!! No regrets switching from M&P 15-22

NEVER heard of these, but it looks a LOT less plasticky than the M&P.

I built my dedicated AR.22 12 years ago with a TacSol upper. That Tippman looks just as nice. NOW I gotta go do research and start pinching pennies again! šŸ˜œ
 
Speaking of the Tippmann Arms, Tandemkross and Tippmann are teaming up to make a special competition ready rifle. This will be for speed shooting specifically.

From Facebook:
We are collaborating with Tippmann Arms Co., LLC to offer the M4-22 in a competition ready configuration. Introducing the M4-22 REDLINE!! Featuring our own "Game Changer PRO" Compensator and our "hiveGrip" for AR-15. The M4-22 REDLINE also features a Tippmann Arms Solar Red Dot Sight, 16" red Fluted barrel, and red accents.

The fluted barrel should be very light. Not sure what sort of trigger it comes with, but if it were my I'd drop in a CMC 3.5 flat and call it a day.
 
Didn't even know that shop existed.

Is this the Tippmann of paintball guns?
Actually, Tippmann went into paintball from powder gear when they got slammed by the AWB. Kind of a lemons to lemonade story actually. Paintball business sold off after a great build of that business, and a couple years ago they've quietly returned with a series of dedicated rimfire M4 format offerings. With very limited exceptions it's all AR compatible. Clever magazine design and really trouble free so far... eats everything, delivers 1ish MOA in reviews (with nicer grade ammo) and is my experience too. I'm super happy with mine even though I paid a premium during peak demand. $100 lower street price now. oh, well
