The tactical rimfire market has matured into a category where realism, modularity, and affordability meet. A properly configured .22 semi-automatic that mirrors the controls and ergonomics of a full-size service rifle is an ideal tool for skills development, fun range sessions, and cost-effective competition training.

M4-22 ELITE – GOA is a premium .22 caliber semi-automatic tactical rimfire rifle built with aluminum upper and lower receivers and all the features of a true M4. Its mil-spec compatibility means it accepts most AR15 stocks, handguards, and sights while delivering the look, feel, and controls shooters expect from an AR-style platform. Shop this product

Key features that matter on the range

The M4-22 ELITE – GOA ships with a 12″ aluminum free-float M-LOK handguard, giving users multiple mounting positions for lights and accessories. The 16″ 4150 solid steel barrel and nickel-plated bolt balance durability with consistent rimfire performance. A 25-round magazine and semi-automatic action make it practical for drills and extended target sessions.

Controls and compatibility

Controls include a functional forward assist, bolt catch, charging handle, and an adjustable flip-up sight set. The full-length top Picatinny rail supports optics, while the 1/2 x 28 threaded A2 birdcage allows muzzle devices or suppressor-ready adapters. The rifle accepts most standard AR15 components—drop-in triggers, stocks, and handguards are straightforward to fit thanks to easy push-pin disassembly.

Tactical training and .22 benefits

As a .22 rimfire, the platform offers minimal recoil and very low per-round cost, which promotes high-volume practice without excessive expense. The 4 1/2 pound trigger pull and mil-spec fire control group deliver predictable operation while allowing users to upgrade to drop-in triggers if desired. Tippmann Arms’ construction makes this model an effective cross-trainer for shooters who want M4 ergonomics with rimfire economics.

Price is set at $634.95, reflecting the aluminum receiver set, quality barrel, and feature-rich build. View product details and pricing
