I bought a JW15A from cedarvalleyhunting when it was on promotion for $150. I also bought an extra 10rd magazine. I went to the range and tested the gun last Sat. The gun is great; it is extremely accurate with winchester 555 value pack ammos. However, only the came-with 5rd magazine feeds the gun. The $15 10rd magazine is just a simple piece of ####. It won't feed the gun if I load more than 3 cartridges to the mag. I am from China so I think I know what exactly happened here: the rifle with 5rd mag was manufactured in one primary plant; the 10rd mag was from another stupid secondary plant who might never get a chance to test their crappy mags on a real gun; Norinco, as the primary exporter of Chinese firearms, they only sell them but never care about this.

So, my questions will be:
1. If I need one or two extra 10rd magazine to have some fun, will a CZ 452 mag work in the circumstance? I heard that CZ 452 and JW15A are both Brno series.

2. If the answer of the 1st question is "yes", where can I find a CZ 452 magazine in Canada? I don't mind waiting for the shipping but an Ontario dealer will be the best.

Eventually, word of advice:

DON'T buy Norinco 10rd magazine for JW15A, unless you think you are lucky.

:mad:
 
I've said that about Norinco 10-round mags probably 20 times here in the last year. :) Regardless, I have the Backpacker (see avatar)~it's the same rifle only shorter barrel. I don't like magazines that protrude beneath the stock on field guns, so I chose 5 rounders. Bought 2, CZ452 STEEL 5-round magazines from Reliable in Vancouver (CGN sponsor) and they work flawlessly in my gun. They'll even feed .22long rounds. Downside is (and this speaks more to how inexpensive the rifles are) the 2 mags+shipping cost me almost 1/2 what the rifle alone did.

Buy some, and enjoy your Norinco. Had mine out yesterday busting clay pigeons (stationary :) ) at about 50 yards offhand. Couldn't miss. Practicing for the day I see a grouse sitting still. Yeah I know...as if... :)
 
Thank you. Just ordered a 452 mag. And I searched through the posts, I think it's not a coincidence that both of our 10rd magazines failed with more than 3 loads. They must screw up the 10rd magazine specification.
