The Tippmann Arms M4-22 Elite .22 WMR 16in 15+1 is a rimfire rifle built for folks who need a reliable training tool or a varmint gun that handles like a real AR. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, it uses aluminum receivers and accepts standard AR-15 furniture, so you can run the same stock, grip, and sights you already trust. This is a semi-auto that cycles fast, hits harder than a .22 LR, and keeps recoil low enough for a long day on the ranch.

Key Features
- .22 WMR Chambering – Why it matters: Delivers higher velocity and energy than .22 LR, making it effective for small game and longer-range training out to 150 yards.
- 16-inch Threaded Barrel – Why it matters: Lets you attach a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith, cutting noise for predator control or range work.
- Adjustable M4-Style Collapsible Stock – Why it matters: Fits shooters of all sizes, from a kid learning to shoot to a full-grown rancher in heavy gear.
- Flip-Up Front and Rear Sights – Why it matters: Gives you backup iron sights that fold flat when you mount an optic, keeping your setup clean and ready.
- Aluminum Upper and Lower Receivers – Why it matters: Matches the weight and feel of a standard AR-15, so your muscle memory carries over to centerfire rifles.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for ranchers who need a light, quiet tool for dispatching varmints around the barn, and for shooters who want a low-cost way to practice AR-15 manipulation without burning expensive 5.56 ammo. It also suits competition rimfire shooters who want a platform that mirrors their match rifle.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Uses standard AR-15 parts – swap triggers, grips, and stocks easily.
- Pro: .22 WMR gives more punch than .22 LR for coyotes or raccoons.
- Con: .22 WMR ammo costs more than .22 LR, so if you’re just plinking, the .22 LR version might save money.
- Pro: Threaded barrel and aluminum build keep weight under 6 lbs.

FAQ
What magazines does the Tippmann Arms M4-22 Elite use?
It uses proprietary 15-round magazines designed by Tippmann for .22 WMR. They are not cross-compatible with .22 LR magazines from other brands.
Can I use a standard AR-15 trigger in this rifle?
Yes, the lower receiver accepts standard AR-15 fire control groups. Many shooters swap in a Geissele or Timney trigger for a lighter pull.
Is this rifle accurate enough for varmint hunting?
Yes. With quality .22 WMR ammunition, expect 1.5 to 2 MOA at 100 yards, which is plenty for ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and rabbits.
Does the barrel come with a muzzle device?
No, the barrel is threaded 1/2×28 but ships without a muzzle brake or flash hider. You can add your own AR-15 compatible device.
