Tippmann Arms, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, makes some of the most respected rimfire AR-pattern firearms on the market. The company set out to build a .22 LR rifle that genuinely replicated the AR-15 experience — not a polymer toy, but a metal-receivered gun with authentic controls, fitment, and feel — and the M4-22 delivered exactly that.
The M4-22 line spans rifles, carbines, and pistols, all built with full-size AR ergonomics and broad compatibility with standard AR furniture and accessories, making it an ideal trainer and an affordable, low-recoil plinker. The faithful controls and quality construction have earned Tippmann a loyal following among shooters who want serious AR-style practice without centerfire ammo costs.
For shooters who want an authentic AR-15 feel in an affordable, fun .22 LR package, Tippmann Arms is a standout in the rimfire world.
