The Tippmann M4-22 Elite delivers authentic AR-15 training experience in an affordable .22LR platform. This semi-automatic rifle provides the same manual of arms as centerfire AR platforms while offering economical practice ammunition costs.
What Makes This Different
The M4-22 Elite features a true AR-15 lower receiver machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, not a polymer imitation. The rifle accepts standard AR-15 triggers, grips, and stocks, allowing complete customization. Unlike conversion kits, this dedicated .22LR platform eliminates feeding issues common with bolt-in conversions and maintains consistent cycling with standard velocity ammunition.
Key Features
- Machined aluminum lower receiver with standard AR-15 compatibility
- 16-inch button-rifled barrel with 1:16 twist rate optimized for .22LR
- 25-round polymer magazine with last-round bolt hold open
- Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories mounting
- Adjustable M4-style buttstock with multiple length of pull positions
- Standard AR-15 charging handle and safety selector operation
- Matte black anodized finish for corrosion resistance
The M4-22 Elite excels in training scenarios where ammunition cost matters. Law enforcement agencies use these rifles for marksmanship training and new shooter instruction. The platform maintains sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition while cycling reliably in temperatures from -10°F to 140°F. The familiar controls transfer directly to centerfire AR platforms without retraining muscle memory.
