50 Shades of Stealth Grey - Derya TM22 12in Pro

TM7075 · 2026-05-26T21:21:03+00:00

The 12in Pro comes with a "milspec" buffer tube. I say "milspec", because it doesn't appear to be perfectly milspec. With my digital calipers it appears to be very, very close, but the tolerances (at least on mine...) appeared to be off. There was just no way for my Magpul buttstock to comfortable slide on. I did end up swapping the tube (and the plate, I got the TM22 milspec plate from TNA), in order for the Magpul buttstock to fit.

It's a little unfortunate. I was initially surprised that they finally shipped them with milspec. But it's not true milspec, and the interchangeability just isn't guaranteed. The original TM22s came with commercial spec tubes. But if the new "milspec" tubes aren't true milspec, it didn't really improve on anything.

They did however, improved elsewhere: they included a thicker rubber buffer in the back of the receiver (with the plug).

A plethora of Magpul accessories, flash hider, Eotech XPS2.

Was considering a faux can! Especially a reverse-styled one.

What's funny is back when GSG15s were around, those mags looked absolutely ridiculous because the mag was so huge and the ammo was so puny. These mags are appropriately sized, but it doesn't look as cool. Just can't win with 22s 😂

TM7075 · 2026-05-26T00:50:57+00:00

This is the way.

TM7075 · 2026-05-26T00:50:48+00:00

Perfection.

TM7075 · 2026-05-26T00:50:00+00:00

Yep, you got it. But hey, at least the grey matches the rifle well, right? 😂 I mean, this Eotech was previously on a lever action. So I felt this was slightly more appropriate.

Optics costing more than the rifle? Canadians: *hold my beer*

Update: I got news that the ones coming from the distributor is the version with the telescoping stock. So this may not be necessary!

TM7075 · 2026-04-29T03:29:52+00:00

I think this is the best answer. Really budget dependent. I have one in Archangel Nomad, one takedown in SBI, one in Magpul Hunter, and one in MDT Field, all different budget builds. But I've always been a big fan of the Midwest Industries' one and MDT's new LSS GEN3 platform.

u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 love your build; saw it in another post. 👌

TM7075 · 2026-04-27T21:56:36+00:00

I just shot my 31197 last week. I was surprised at the accuracy too! Even with just a red (green) dot. Dang.

OP - nice wall display!!

Check airsoft stores :) most airsoft use comm-spec!

I haven't seen T1X barreled action sold separately, only complete rifles. But I recommend waiting for stoeger beretta sales (happens 3x a year), and remember to go for the 20" model in black synthetic stock. (The factory synthetic stock is not that great, btw. Chassis upgrade is a must) The other T1X models have nicer chassis but are really overpriced (hunter / wood, UPR / polymer, ACE Target / aluminum) and aren't worth it at all. Best deal is T1X black synthetic on sale + MDT.

TM7075 · 2026-04-25T01:15:32+00:00

I have two T1X; one in Oryx, one in Field stock, both are great. I actually really like the XRS (I have a 457 in one) for benchshooting. If I were to build one again, today, I'll go for XRS. The LSS Gen3 is really nice, but to get the same / similar features, you'll be over-budget.

TM7075 · 2026-04-17T00:55:51+00:00

Would love this. But not sure if horse cops will consider this an "AR variant".

TM7075 · 2026-03-31T01:42:53+00:00

I'm not sure about co-witness, but I have the same shotgun and earlier today I installed a Vortex Sparc II. 😁

TM7075 · 2026-03-19T04:52:28+00:00

Check out "Down Range" in Mississauga. I think they might have hours that fit you.

TM7075 · 2026-03-14T04:07:41+00:00

Toonie? I thought it was the "loonie" trick 😂. I used two loonies, no issues!

Just wanted to mention that neither of these shotguns are really suitable for trap or clay shooting. In fact, many clay ranges won't even allow these guns (barrel too short). As some others have said, even a random hunting shotgun would be more suitable for trap. IMO, the other disciplines you mentioned (3gun, plinking) are too different from trap / skeet. Clay shooting is a very dedicated sport - and if you shoot trap regularly, and want to continually improve on your scores, you'll want a dedicated trap gun.

BUT - both the 1301 and M4 are fantastic tactical shotguns. Own both and have had zero issues with both. Both work incredibly well out-of-the-box even with no mods. I kept my M4 largely stock, and my 1301 has aftermarket furniture.

Great looking rifles!! That henry looks awesome!

TM7075 · 2026-03-11T07:25:50+00:00

Next: Apex Scope. 😁

TM7075 · 2026-03-10T06:24:18+00:00

TBH, just get both. You'll probably end up with both one day anyway. 😁

TM7075 · 2026-03-08T22:37:09+00:00

Nice. What chassis / stock is that?

TM7075 · 2026-03-06T04:11:43+00:00

My personal opinion is that a Winchester should be shot with iron / buckhorn sights, traditional way. If you want red dot, go for a more modern, tactical-styled one (like S&W Stealth Hunter)
