I was wrong (JW-15A)

[cyclone]

Previously, I was quite happy to see my Norinco JW-15A "compact" feed & eject perfectly with (the blue) .22LR dummy rounds in both the factory 5-round magazine and a polymer CZ 10-round magazine. However, I was rather saddened to find utter failures-to-feed with a (rather expensive!) CZ 25-round magazine...


Fast-forward to this past weekend, when I finally got around to loading live ammunition ammunition into each of the magazines (I wasn't shooting for accuracy, so no target pics, sadly). Anyhow, with real ammunition, the firearm fed & ejected smoothly from the 25-round magazine! The moral of the story is that dummy-rounds aren't the be-all-and-end-all of function testing (I know, I should have known).


So, that bit of relief established, here are some gratuitous pictures...

Sometimes it's really great to be wrong, enjoy your JW-15A.

My 24" barreled one is a laser-beam; what are your first impressions of accuracy?

Yeah...you should have known. They're fun, capable, cheap little guns. Might add one back to the stable in '18.

Quality control can be an issue and I think they held a contest to see who could come up with the worst wood ,and gave the winner the contract for the gun stocks ,but apart from that I have found them fine,accurate and reliable shooters. The synthetic stocks may not be the best, but they're better than the wood stocks

Apparently the triggers or at least the slack can be adjusted on them??
