Norinco

I bought that so long ago I don't recall. Something "###hawk". Got it for a shotgun.
Rimfire ammo would fall thru the loops unless you're strapping 50rnd boxes :). I use it to carry the mags...

Just out of idle curiosity more than anything else, I wanted to see how many .22 LR cartridges I could stuff into an empty 2 & 3/4 shotgun shell.


With all .22's pointing bullet-down in the shotshell case, I could fit 10 of the .22 LR cartridges with no rattling. If I positioned 3 cartridges bottom-first and then 2 cartridges bullet-first 'and so on', I could fit 11 of the .22 LR cartridges into a 2 & 3/4 spent shotshell case, albeit with rattling.

FWIW, of course, but it was "cute" to see a reload's worth of one 10-round .22LR magazine's capacity, contained inside a spent shotgun shell casing.
 
Thanks for the review on the Scorpio,I bought one but haven't fired it yet,I see very few reviews on it surprisingly enough. Most guns gave several on u tube

I first tried non expanding foam on a Marlin 795 synthetic stock ,it greatly improved it.The Norinco synthetic stocks do seem to be more robust,I was going to get the thumbhole version of the JW15,but delayed and they were gone

A guy at our club has one, it is really nice, and finished nicer than the new ones too!

You are going to like the Scorpio! You may need to bed the stock, as mine was lose, fore and aft.
 
I just got in one and it has a nice wood stock, dark wood, I have not pulled it down ,kindoff a browning look finish. JW 15a I think Could be older one, Estate gun looks new, but has to be a few years old at least. It seems heavy
hard wood has different meaning depending on what country you live in, think of the many different Rosewoods out there.
And remeber the price point
Norinco wood stocks( with the exception of the JW20 browning knockoff) tend to make 2x4's look good, but a little work with a drum sander and spoke shave removes excess wood and slims them down nicely, then a hard expoxy type sealer such as used on floors results in a much improved stock.I'm happy with the synthetic stocks ,which I fill with NON expanding foam,cheap fix that greatly improves them
 
I have not seen any JW 15s with wood stocks for a while,they all seem to be synthetic which is ideal for a utility gun. I do have an older wood stocked JW23 bolt action rimfire in 22 mag though,bought it from SIR years ago for $109 ( another one we don't see anymore)

Is there anyway to mount a little red dot sight to the JW15?

My JW25a came with a red dot sight from M*****r. It worked really well. These rifles have a rail that can be clamped on-to. Finally tried CCI AR tactical in my rifle today and wow 5 shots inside a nickel. It is a tough rifle to get a scope to stay put on though. After a couple hundred rounds I usually have to move my scope back a little bit and tighten up the screws.

Yes, there are spring loaded dovetail adaptors for about 20 bucks. they utilize the clamping force of the weaver base on the red-dot, to clamp firmly to the smaller dovetail.
 
Hi all. I don't want to highjack someone's post, but would any of you know of a way to improve trigger puil quality on a Norinco NS522? This rifle definitely has some interesting accuracy potential, but has an horrible trigger... Thanks in advance for your help.

No adjustment that I know of short of taking it apart and carefully polishing the parts. Mine is the "Scorpio" version, and it actually had a great trigger right out of the box; Crisp, solid, and breaks at 3.4 lbs.
 
There has been very little in the way of reviews on the Scorpio, not sure why, but now you've got me thinking I should try mine out.I have the NS522 but the Scorpio seems more like a 'carry' rifle.Mainly my shooting is casual target shooting or shooting grouse

There is a thread with about 150 pages on the 522. Anything you can dream doing to the gun likely will be mentioned. Grab a few beers and start reading.

You might find that the 522 is a bit lighter; the composit stock is heavy, but very solid. Just remember that the action will need bedding, and the barrel, a bit of relief in the stock to free float.
 
Thanks Woody. Will sure get the beers ready to start reading ;-) Would you be kind enough to steer me in the right direction to get this thread? Thanks!
