Norinco JW 25

Ah Bugrit. I just broke down and ordered one. Reviews seem favourable and it'll be good to have a .22 bolt gun again, to cut down on reloading time and costs. If it shoots better than my 10-22 spray-n-pray edition I'll be thrilled.

If you're watching, John: will you be bringing in extra mags?

CZ mags will fit this. My 455 & 452 mags all fit in this gun, so getting extras is easy but a bit pricey!

We ran out of these mags last week, more have been on order for some time

I'm still waiting for my rifle to ship but I'd be down for a minimum five of the MAG-056 5-rounders when they come in.

Seems I'm always a week late or a paycheque short!

Thanks to the poster above for the info on the CZ mags. I'll just troll the gun shows in the mean time.

WARNING!

Your first .22 is kinda like your first hit of crack... You get one, "just to try it", I mean, what harm could possibly come from just one? You buy a cheap brick of ammo to go with it, take it out for a few hits at the range or in the field... "Ping, ping... heheheh" that was kinda fun... "Ping-ping-ping-ping-ping (giggle)" just a few more... "Pingpingpingping(giggle)pingpingpingpingping(giggle)...." Waitaminute... I came out here with a 500round brick, how could I possibly be out of ammo?

I wonder if it's worht trying mini-mags, hypervelocity ammo, segmented hollowpoints for gophers...

I betcha I could tighten up those groups if I used some match ammo, I mean, it still comes in at only 10cents a round, that's still pretty cheap...

Oooh, there's a neat semi auto I can get 110 round drums for....

And hey, that's a slick looking match target barrelled .22... If I got that, put a nice Leupold on it, used some really good match ammo at 15cents a round (that's still cheap, right?)...

Hey... Hun, how did our line of credit get maxed out? I haven't even been shooting my heavy bore expensive ammo guns...


On the upside, .22 is what me realize I need to stay very far away from addictive substances.

Wow!
What a nice piece of wood dark brown color,

compatible magazine are CZ for the CZ 452, 453, 455, 512 and 513 rifles. Also compatible with most BRNO, Norinco and Puma .22 models.

what the max capacity in canada thank!

Unless these mags are used in some kind of pistol (none that I'm aware of), there is no legal limit for .22, either bolt or semi auto. However, the biggest I've been able to find for my CZ 452 is a 10 round mag, and as far as I can tell, that's the biggest CZ makes. Really high quality, super reliable mags, can't go wrong with either polymer or metal (I have 5 an 10 round examples for both).

I once saw advertised online an aftermarket 30 round mag, but it looked positively franken-mag awful.

Sorry im no photographer !
 
That wood definitely looks nicer than my model that is a few years old. I love the JW-25. I just think they are fun little rifles...well, not that little, they feel quite substantial, actually.
The bolt on mine is smoother than my Marlin XT - although I am hoping that smooths out a bit over time and use.

Nailed it, Grelmar.
Wish I would've thought of that before trying out my first .22 (Savage Arms Mk II FVT Target .22LR Rifle). My order is shipping now so should be soon.

I managed to "whittle down to" 3 at the moment, but that won't hold...

A CZ-452 Lux with Leupold 2-7x. Crazy accurate with CCI Segmented Hollowpoints at 1640FPS - yah, you read that velocity right. My other two .22 don't handle it well - too hot - but the nice rifling and long barrel on that Lux mean if I miss a gopher at 100 yards, it's my fault, can't blame the gun or the ammo.

An older (late 60s early 70s - not 100% sure of the date) Anschutz 184 "beater" with an equally season Japanes 4x scope.

And a fairly basic 10/22 carbine with a Vortex Sparc red dot on it...

But having only 3 .22 is kinda making me feel needy... Buy another .22 (and the JW-25 looks damn temping, having the same mags as my CZ makes it more so)... Or a Timney trigger for the Ruger...

Or maybe both... Because God created the "floating line of credit" for a reason...
 
Talk about fast shipping. Mine arrived yesterday instead of the expected Monday. I missed the drop, though.

Now I just need a decent repro sling
 
Mine arrived today. Thank goodness for the electronic notification. I might've missed the post office notice buried on the refrigerator with very other notice there. Once my busy week ends I will clean up the packing grease and put a picture up. First look it has almost a walnut finish to the stock.

I will honestly admit the take down instructions seem a bit daunting but I will learn more about that before I head to the range with it. It definitely has a cool factor to it, replica or not, I like it.

Did I see other posts on here that say certain cz .22 mags can be used?
