Norinco JW-15A bolt won't go in! Update

[*lawrence]

I got rid of mine before our club completed the 100 yard range so I never got to shoot it at distance. Your is shooting very well! You should maybe give the 100 yard challenge a try.

I had enough trouble seeing my aiming spot in the darkened metal tube surrounding the gong to achieve this 'grouping' at 100 yards. I think I've peaked!

Odd that the same company can produce the JW15 a few years ago which are fine, then produce the Scorpio which is fine and then completely mess up the 2nd batch of the JW15's

Messed up.

I would guess that they are manufactured in two different factories in two different cities with completely different tooling, machinery and methods.

One is based on a BRNO and one on an Anschutz.

Maybe the Scorpio master drawings are a better more accurate starting point from which to make copies

Scorpios have always been consistent, JWs were generally OK but had a lot more lemons.

Two different factories, this makes sense.
