I got mine last Monday, and the stock is broken. Called them and they said they will send another stock. Other problem is the loose barrel. Tried to tighten the bolt but still wiggling.

To tighten the barrel to the receiver, you adjust the collar on the barrel, mine took 6 clicks to tighten up. Takes a minute because you have to take the barrel on & off, but you should be able to tighten it up no problem. Bummer on the cracked stock!

I had similar issues when I first got mine. For me though it was when using snap caps. I got fed up trying to figure things out so I just took it out shooting with live rounds and it ran flawlessly, well almost.

Mine still does it with snap caps. Will take it out and see over the holidays.

The same thing was happening to me with snap caps, it took it down again and field stripped and cleaned the extractor. I then adjusted the take down tightness to the minimum so that it would not wobble. It improved but still had some feeding issues with snap caps.

I decided to take it to the range. It ran cycled all 200+ rounds, a of mix cci mini mag and cci standard,

Very happy with cycling, and accuracy was around 1 inch at 25 yards off a bench with a vortex sparc II red dot. Mounted sparc ii with weaver 60a mount, it add some length to fore end as it overhangs. Points and shoots great, lots of fun.

Very happy with my cheapest firearm i have ever purchased.
 
Maybe this belongs in gunsmithing but mine cycled everything I fed it but the barrel shoots loose. I degreased everything to the last screw prior.Does anyone know if Norinco used the old style barrel latch or the more recent style? I guess I could replace with Browning parts if they fit.The barrel ring is dam stiff and the spring with the pin in it that is supposed to fit in the ring slots is obviously slipping? Harold
 
I have to say spent a while today shooting my jw20, worked extremely well, got to really looking over the stock as well, quite nice actually, did some adjusting to the barrel where it joins to the receiver, just took the wood forestock off and adjusted one click at a time until it wouldn't go then backed up one click, fits perfect, cycled like a champ used some cci mini mags, not a fail of any kind, for 125 its a no brainer, packs up to take on my quad or on my bike, thrilled with this little gem. thumbs up to can am as usual. if I had one complaint about shooting it today it was that my damn hands got cold outside after an hour. {not much into shooting with gloves on}

I very seriously doubt you will be disappointed, really quite an awesome deal, I figured on this being a bit of a beater rifle to bring here and there and not care much at that price, but its a pretty nice looking find, actually I don't want to scratch it all up now, lol, enjoy it
 
I very much like them too and may buy a third one at this price. Maybe soon... Had some concerns on the stock of one but canammo has dealt with it quickly and hassle free. Thanks for that - thumbs up!

thats what I thought too but I have concerns that the barrel ring will rattle off and get lost . there's really nothing keeping the ring on so is it a good quad gun if this can happen.

hi kzauger, if you are referring to the threaded ring that tightens the receiver to the barrel it shouldn't be a concern as on mine the forestock holds it from adjusting itself, maybe if that's the part you are referring to and your forestock doesn't pinch the adjuster so to speak you could add something between the adjuster and forestock so it cant move, also anytime I load a gun in the quad, motorcycle or boat I pull an old pair of socks over both ends if its not in a case, in this case one large winter sock for each half completely covers the rifle, it keeps it from banging around and if anything rattles off its in the sock {unless your old socks have a hole, pick a pair that don't, lol}
 
I cut the arms off my kids wetsuit ( she outgrew it) sewed the wrists shut ...makes a great sleeve for transporting the parts...and is kinda cushioned as well

...first time I took the rifle apart the barrel adjusting ring popped off allowing the spring and plunger to emerge at good velocity, fortunately the cat found them,I put them and the barrel locking spring and plunger back in with a dab of thick grease in the respective holes and they have not jumped out again...I know it has nothing to do with the grease...but ..whatever

I always keep a roll of tape in the quad, so I guess a wrap of tape over the end will hold everything in place. Im thinking that a good quad 22 should be foldable or a put together like the jw20 but I shouldnt worry about it rattling apart. Im not a big chiappa fan but its about the next best thing that wont rattle apart.
 
Got mine a couple days ago. All cleaned and ready to go. All good thing come to an end...............I see they are now out of stock.
 
I received my second one few days ago but didn't have the time to open the box till tonight. Rifle is in prefect condition .Even the take down switch working as it should. thank you Canada ammo.
 
I finally got to handle my JW20, it was my Christmas present... It looks great & only thing out of order was the buttstock was loose, so I used a looney to tighten it... For anyone wondering how, just remove the magazine tube from the buttstock & tighten from there with the looney.

I'm going to clean it up & hopefully hit the range soon for a function test! For $125, this was a GREAT deal!

Cheers

Love my Jw-20's. Took both of mine to my dad's yesturday for christmas. Put them both side by side to his Browning. The only difference in looks is the Browning has a bit nicer grain in the stock. I have to look at them for a few seconds to figure out the difference between the Belgium or the Chinese.
 
Got my 2 the other day,,,but one has a crack in the pistol grip area,,,the other has a practicly seized take down lever,,,have to pry it with something to get it to take down,,,not exactly high quality riffles,,but then again,,at $125.00 each,,can't exactly expect too much,,,LOL...it's definitely NOT a Browning,,,hopefully Canada Ammo will take care of my issues when they reopen,,not really that big a deal,,but i doubt i'll buy any chinese weapons again,,LOL..the quality isn't exactly something to brag about,,but the price is right,,
