    they work. I had a Jw25a, and I ran all my CZ452mags in it. They worked better in it than the factory one did. go for it. And, if you get any of those CZ rifles in the future you will already have spare mags.

    What about the JW15 mags? Anyone with experience with these?

    Hello. JR.

    Took your advice and ordered CZ from Cabela's. Just hope I got the right one.

    CZ BRNO .22 LR Magazines

    10-round polymer magazine for CZ 452/453/455 22 LR/17 HM2

    What do you think?


    If wrong I can always return it.

    Hello Nighthawk

    I have two JW15 9-rd mags. The feeding lips were really sharp and had to be sanded down to prevent shredding my fingers. The lips were also a bit tighter then the 5-rd mag that came with it, so I windened them slightly with needle nose plyers. With these minor modifications and a good cleaning these mags work great and were about 1/2 cost of CZ's I priced.

    Just wondering if any member has had any problems with the bolt safety on the JW25A?

    No, but I wish the design was different. Safety latch is under constant tension by the firing spring and I do not like that. Genuine Mauser or side safety would be much better.

    It's not a mauser and has nothing to do with a mauser action. It's a straight up copy of a BRNO action that eventually evolved into the cz 455

    Mine was very hard to put on and take off initially. It loosened up a bit with use, but it is still difficult and makes a very loud click. Also, I believe the instruction manual that came with it did not describe the function of the safety properly. I ended up looking at YouTube videos to figure out how it worked, as it was not intuitive.

    Just checked mine last night and the safety doesn't work.

    Zero effs given. I place no faith or trust in mechanical safeties.

    yea same. almost fully non functional. in that it wouldn't go on or off without a total huge effort. But, like the above post, I don't rely on safeties.
