I used an allen key as a bar across the notches, and then a needle-nose plier to do the twisting.

Can anyone shed more light on how to un-stuck the takedown lock? Someone in one of these threads mentioned hitting it with a punch and then sanding it a bit so it won't get stuck again, but I don't know how it's supposed to move before I hit it with a punch..

I picked up mine yesterday at CanPar. Packaging was fine. Took it out of the styrofoam, turned it around and the stock is ####ed. No word yet from CanAm since they were emailed yesterday. Followed up with a call just now.

That sucks because the rifle is beautiful if undamaged!

I'm awaiting arrival of my 2nd order & I hope it arrives undamaged...

Cheers

Mine is in pieces now ready to remove the cosmo and I cant find anything wrong on the wood/metal.. in fact Im suprised the fit and finish is that good for that price, even at 300 I would think its a great buy :dancingbanana:

Agreed! And, THAT's why I bought a second one! Now, if Xmas can just get here... It's my present... And I was only allowed to open the box to confirm it was not damaged... I'm like a kid the night before Xmas, all over a $125 rifle! Chuckle :dancingbanana:

I picked up a couple of these rifles, overall they are my favorite .22lr. The metal parts are great, never had a fault there but the wood does crack really easily as it's a well finished but cheap type of wood.

The big benefit of these is that you can swap barrels back and forth between a single action. Using weaver 60a mounts ($10.99) I set up a red dot on one and a scope on the other. If you are out hunting you can just pack up one action and two barrels for maximum choice when hunting. I'm hoping to carve some new wood stocks for them in the spring, it's a challenging type to carve because of the internal magazine but well worth it.
 
Might be worth finding some Browning wood?
Edit, quick look at Brownells (out of stock) lists for $250 rear and $120 front... !

I didn't get a jw-20, but I did do a quick Internet search for replacement stocks and the cheapest I found was $100 USD and that was unfinished and without the fore stock. I didn't bother checking to see, if they shipped to Canada. A more thorough internet search might be more lucky.
 
Thank you can am for sending me the parts that I lost. Im at my cabin as we speak and just got back with the boys from shooting all day. the guns worked flawlessly. The service you provide is top notch.

OK, just to be clear, not trying to start something. I have a question that must be asked and I hate pricks who talk behind my back so here it is.

All the Chinese guns I have received from CanAm have been swimming in oil. Wouldn't the wood soak in oil if it were marinating in it? Does the wood chip have oil on the raw wood?

I am not saying anyone is lying, perhaps the gun was droped by CanPAr in the truck outside the door? Who knows?
All I am saying is that is one fresh crack that looks like a standard crack in these guns.

Again, just sayin... I would rather someone say something to my face, rather than whisper it. I am sure I'm not the only one thinking this.

I hear what you are saying; however you are mistaken and this IS what happened. I am no liar and those who know or have done business with me may attest this. Let me put this in perspective: Would you compromise your personal integrity for $125?
 
Could have easily been a factory worker who was being lazy....didn't quite break it but started the ball rolling and then transit finished it off.
CanAm will take care of it as a routine function of selling Chinese guns. It's not the first gun with issues out of the box and not the last.
The gun will likely be put into the parts inventory or sold at a local gun show for a reduced price.

yep
 
That's it. If not "Sold Out" by the end of the evening, I'm ordering one as soon as my wife goes to sleep.
A guy can only put up with so much temptation!:)
And now there's more NS 522's in stock!:cheers:
