Derya TM22 Feather & Flash Tutorial Assembly, Disassembly, Cleaning & Maintenance Guide

In this detailed tutorial, we cover assembly, disassembly, and cleaning specifically for the two most popular Derya TM22 models: the Feather and the Flash.

We begin by highlighting key model differences:

TM22 Feather: Carry handle, ramped bead sights, lightweight polymer design
TM22 Flash: Flip-up sights, M-LOK handguard, threaded barrel ready for suppressors

Safety first: Always unload the magazine, clear the chamber, and verify the rifle is safe before starting.
Step-by-step disassembly shows gentle handling techniques for the polymer frame and components. We demonstrate removing takedown pins, separating upper and lower receivers, extracting the bolt, and safely handling the threaded barrel on the Flash model.
Cleaning demo includes thorough cleaning of the bolt, barrel (using bore snake), firing pin channel, chamber, and extractor. We pay special attention to carbon buildup and residue that can cause malfunctions.
Special section: Addressing buffer tube stability — watch a live demo of the popular loonie/washer trick to eliminate wobble and improve cheek weld consistency.
We finish with complete reassembly, checking proper cheek riser height, stock collapse/lockup function, and a dry-fire function test.
Pro tips include:

Using proper torque on threaded barrel attachments
Gentle handling of polymer components
Recommended cleaning frequency (every 500-1000 rounds)
