The TEC-22? Ruger 10/22 mags, I believe, no parts available, plastic receiver, supposed to be a fun pistol.

I never saw one that wasn't a jam-o-matic.
Made my own "tec-22" out of a Ruger 10/22 pistol receiver and a short barrel, works better and is threaded 1/2x28 tpi. tec-22s are threaded 1/2x20 tpi I believe and require an adapter for most .22 cans. |

My buddy back in college had one. Not sure if it ever made it through a mag without several malfunctions.

I purchased one on a whim for $50 - where someone tried to do some creative filing to the FCG...
Even after replacing the FCG, it was still a jam-o-matic. |

Very hit or miss, and I've had several through my hands over the years. I have two that run great as long as they are clean and lubed (the only two reliable ones I found out of all I tried) and a third that I only kept for parts for the two good ones, should the need arise.
Used, with little or no info on its history? BIG roll of the dice IMHO. Caveat emptor. |

I've had one since 1996.
Pro tips: - Buy a few extra firing pins, you will need them. There is a guy out there that makes them and has a little site with them for sale. They are a weird shaped piece of flat metal. - It likes the Ruger BX25 mags the best. Sometimes the butler creek mags work, sometimes they don't. - It runs on CCI's the best and likes to be lubed up before any action  |

They run good on CCI mini Mags.

The one I had was very reliable, once I learned the trick of rocking the magazine forward to securely lock it in place.
If you have not seen it before, this site has a lot of info about it: http://mrcompletely.blogspot.com/2005/06/intratec-tec-22-rim-fire-race-gun.html |

Mine was a jam-o-matic with all kinds of ammo. Winchester lead nose and Remington hp were the worst. It was kind of a fun gun when it worked especially when it went full auto!

I bought one off of the EE here many years ago. Absolute piece of crap.
It'll jam and flip the receiver top open. |

Even the mag it came with sucked . They like hotter ammo . I bought mine new when they came out and had to send it back to make it work better |
