For shooters who want a true M4-style rimfire platform for training, competition, or backyard sessions, a realistic semi-automatic that accepts common AR accessories is invaluable. A tactical-minded .22 WMR rifle can cut ammo costs, reduce recoil, and preserve muscle memory while delivering a platform that behaves like a centerfire AR.

TIPPMANN ARMS m4-22 brings AR ergonomics and mil-spec controls to a .22 WMR package, combining an aluminum upper and lower with AR-style controls and a full-length Picatinny rail. Shop this product

Key features and tactical advantages

The TIPPMANN ARMS m4-22 is built around a 16″ 4150 solid steel barrel (non-threaded) and a 12″ aluminum free-float M-LOK handguard that lets you mount lights, grips, and rails typical of AR-pattern rifles. The nickel-plated bolt and mil-spec fire control group add durability and familiar trigger feel, while the 4.5-pound trigger pull balances safe handling with responsive breaks for controlled follow-up shots.

Caliber performance: .22 WMR explained

.22 WMR delivers more velocity and energy than .22 LR, giving flatter short-range trajectories and better performance on small game and varied training drills. For tactical training where a rimfire cost-per-shot is important but realistic ballistics matter, .22 WMR is a strong choice.

Platform compatibility and modularity

Aluminum upper and lower receivers make the m4-22 largely mil-spec compatible: it accepts most AR-15 stocks, handguards, and sights. Features like the full-length top Picatinny rail, ambidextrous sling adapter plate, receiver-mounted two-position safety lever, and allowance for drop-in trigger assemblies make customizing straightforward. The rifle ships with a 10-round magazine, pinned stock, and standard cable lock for secure storage.

Functional controls mirror centerfire ARs: forward assist, bolt catch, charging handle, ejection port cover, shell deflector, and adjustable flip-up sights. Easy push-pin disassembly simplifies maintenance and training transitions.

View product details and pricing — the TIPPMANN ARMS m4-22 is listed at $729.99 and is positioned for shooters wanting an AR-style rimfire that stays authentic to true M4 controls and ergonomics.

Who should consider the m4-22?

With features like the Gen2 grip, adjustable sights, and AR compatibility, the m4-22 keeps training efficient and familiar.
