Norinco JW-14 magazines?

Another retailer has the rifles in stock and says that Marlin mags work. Well, I can tell you the mags for my Marlin 795 sure DON'T work. And the other retailer so far hasn't bothered to find out which mags WILL work. I always heard some kind of CZ mag would work but don't have easy acces to try them out here.

The mag is definitely the weak link in the JW but it would be nice to have a source for some kind of extras!

I've been on a similar quest, with similar results.
 
The rifles are great though, notwithstanding the cheap mags.

I would like to mention that I purchased a "Champion" 25-round mag for the Marlin M-70/795, and not only does it work in my JW-14...the rifle cycles with CCi Quiets!!

The only one of my 3 semi-auto .22 to do so. It will NOT cycle, though, with the included mag...just the banana.
Crazy.

Hi All that have the Norinco JW 14 Rifle .22

I have it on good authority that Clay at Prophet river will be looking into bringing in the Champion 25 round magazines for the Marlin 70 for us Norinco JW 14 owners. He does not carry Norinco and may be basing this on statements made on this site that they will fit the Norinco JW 14. So if someone knows for sure that they do or don't work in the JW 14 rifle please let us know.

Thanks Steve
 
Hi there

Does the Champion 25 round marlin 70/795 mag for sure work in the Norinco JW 14 rifle???? I have asked clay at Prophet river to bring some in for me and if they work a lot of the JW 14 .22 rifle owners would love to buy some.

Thanks steve

Not for the JW-14.

The JW-15A is the one you're thinking of, which is a clone of the Brno Model 2, which became the CZ-452 after CZ took over Brno, and has since evolved into the CZ-455....

The only reason I know that is because I have a CZ-452 Lux (see profile pic) and was looking for spare mags that didn't cost an arm and a leg (so far, no luck - but I bit the bullet a while back and just bought some CZ mags at $40 a pop, so haven't looked in a while).
 
I got a pair of Marlin 10rd nickel magazines from eBay, about $15 shipped apiece.
Here they are pictured next to a plastic JW-14 stocker. (click for larger version)


It took a bit of filing down the sides to get them to fit, I think about 0.1-0.2mm around the part that fits into the mag well. It remains to be seen whether they will feed the ammo nicely, and I won't find out until I have a chance to go shooting, hopefully next weekend. Also, there is just a slight gap between the front of the magazine and the mag well. I wonder if this might pose a hazard of venting some hot gases down towards my supporting hand, although once the action is forced open then that would provide the path of least resistance.

Let us know if they get them in. I have had one on order with my local dealer for almost 2 months now. I'd take a couple or so.

Canadian Tire sell JW14 mags for 19 bucks each. My CT in Sussex NB always has lots.

If you can get the SKU number of the mag next time you are in CTC, please share. Not all CTCs carry firearms, but if they have the SKU number, they can order it. They can't readily look it up though. Thanks.

Yes they work...for MY rifle, a little sanding/filing of the side of the mag where it fits into the mag well was needed, in order to prevent "pinching" that stop the next round from popping up.
In the video, remember that the Champion mags are clear plastic...I painted mine.
Cheers
 
my champion 25 round mag works perfectly in my jw-14 as well, actually the mag works like sh#t in my 795, that it is suppose to fit, however in the jw-14 it works great, in fact even the wood on the stock is cut out perfectly to slide in, almost like it was custom made for this rifle, which is surprisingly an excellent rifle for the money, not that i have had any trouble with functionality of any norinco product. for the record i have had best success with the pro-mag 25 rounders for the 795, however they are way too tight to squeeze into the jw-14, and the stock 795 mags definately dont fit the jw-14. anyway just more info from my experience, hope it helps
