I had the same issue with my jw i just ended up giving it away to someone who wanted to tinker with it, I didn't have the patience to eff with it any longer (it was effed out of the box and I fought with it for 4 hours trying to reassemble after cleaning out the cosmoline)
Replacement parts for Norinco JW-20/Browning SA-22
- Thread starter SoiledBritches
- Start date
I must have got a good one I suppose. The day I got it I completely stripped the rifle, fully cleaned, lubed, and reassembled. So far about 2500 rounds of ammo from bulk high vel to CCI quiet 710fps and not a single issue. Well, I have gotten hot brass down my sleeve a time or two.
I find it's better to adjust the lock ring with the barrel off, get it so where it's a tight 1/4 turn to lock up. Then let the bolt slam home a couple times, take the barrel off again and you should be able to get another click or 2 on the ring, reassemble and it should be tight and not move. Once it's adjusted properly you never need to move the lock ring again. Put a little grease on the threads and shoulders of the barrel that make contact with the receiver.
I have a couple of them, biggest issue is complete tear down and degreasing all that whale oil off it, lube it up probably, reassemble and they will run forever with minimal cleaning.

Just got my JW20 today, cleaned it and now not sure if I’ve lost a small pin or if it’s just how the gun is.
When the gun is taken down the barrel lock ring comes loose and can fall right off, I’ve looked at the browning version online and seems like I have everything right but if some one has a pic of there norinco that would really help me out or is this just the way the Chinese model is lol.

The Browning lock collar I got from Numrich will not fit my Norco.
When I got my JW20 and took it apart to clean I lost one of the tiny parts.
Finding it in stock at Numrich, I decided to order the Browning parts to replace all the lock up parts.
Every thing fit well except the threaded collar. Different threads.
If you like I can sell it to you but it wont fit. I'll probably keep it in case I find an SA22 that needs one and is going for a good price.
