A surprise to the AR world in recent years is Tippman Arms jumping into the game. The name Tippman might sound familiar to the average shooter, but one that’s difficult to place exactly, unless you have some pretty niche gun interests. That’s because the Indiana company has resided one off from those that burn gunpowder most of its history, with most of its contributions falling in the realm of paintball guns and air rifles.
Early success with the M4-22 Classic, Tippman has continued to expand on its catalog of .22LR ARs with the introduction of the M4-22 Pro. Like the earlier iteration, the rifle is designed as a trainer, offering the heft, operation and ability to upgrade (it’s compatible with most Mil-Spec AR parts) of a standard M4-style rifle. Yet, the new addition offers a few extras — for no extra charge — to the original. Chief among these, the Pro comes with a truly free-floated barrel. Given the Classic was dependable in the accuracy category, the new carbine should shoot the lights out. Other notable upgrades on the older model of the M4-22 are a nickel-plated bolt and a 25-round magazine.
It’s a fairly clever system – both in the Classic and Pro variants — yet it comes at a premium. Boasting an MSRP of $549, the tactical plinker is at the spendier end of the class of firearms. However, if you need a training rifle that’s economical to … well … train with, there are few that offer what Tippman has put on the table.
