This one will have shots touching at 50m with the stock bedded, barrel floated and I haven't even crowned the barrel since the chop.
Sniper model, this one is in bits again as I mod the stock further. I'm onto my 5th one now as I love customizing them as they're just such a cheap yet accurate starting point.Ĭut down for my Lil Sis to learn to shoot with: The trigger is set pretty light and crisp from the factory, but a little polishing can have it going like snapping glass.Ĭan someone post a pic of the whole rifle? They're a copy of the BRNO No1, but have a whole different trigger group. Upside is they feed better than the stock mags. Yep, a little file work might be needed to get it to fit good but you can use the 5 rounders and 10 rounders. Now they sell for a pretty penny when you can find one the owner is willing to let go. I'm glad I got mine before people found out the truth. 45's were also pilloried as soft and a ***. They were inexpensive but they weren't cheaply made and if you find a used one today, expect to pay $500 or more for it. I was friends with one of the top 1911 gunsmiths in the country at the time and he was very impressed with the quality of the pistols. The same stories were told about the Norinco Model of the 1911 pistols. Not a single complaint from a customer and the one I owned worked perfectly. It amuses me when I read the horror stories about Chinese guns and how awful they are. They required a small amount of file work but work as well as factory mags. I also purchased several additional Chinese magazines for use in my BRNO and CZ. They are NOT a CZ or BRNO but they aren't priced like them either. I've owned several JW-15 rifles and all shot quite accurately. If you have any tips for making the saftey a little less hard to work I would like to hear them.Īre there any other makes of rifles out there that have magazines that will work with the JW-15? I read somewhere that a CZ452 magazine would fit. The JW-15 would really be a show piece with a real good quality stock on it.
I am checking out the link you provided for the stocks. I thought I had a picture of my whole rifle but I don't. I wouldn't take a farm in Georgia for my JW-15. I had to remove the rear site to get the scope to mount. The mounts I use for my scope mount are not the see through kind. OF course I haven't gotten rid of it, but have had many people want the rifle after they saw it. I did this to customize my rifle to where I figured I would never get rid of it.
Here is a picture of mine JW-15 buttstock where I place a West Virginia belt buckle in the stock. I would love to get him one for a present. If you would ever decide to sell one of those please contact me. He found one last year (2009) at a local gun show but at the time didn't have the money. Of course he knows that the only way to get one is from an individual or maybe at a gun show. My son loves my rifle so much he has been desperately looking for one. I prefer it over my Remington 552 and my Ruger 10/22. I set on the back porch in the spring and summer shooting rats that try and come up and steal the dogs food in the evenings. Mine is topped off with a Bushnell 3-9x40 scope. The saftey is awful stiff like you said it will hurt your fingers. I bought one back in the early 90's before the ridiculous ban that was put on them. Thanks for the information you have shared about your JW-15. As you can see by my user ID I am from WV. I was doing some research on JW-15's and came across this site and your post. You have to do the final fitting and finish. Heat treatment of the safety afterwards is recommended.īTW, If you have one, and are looking for a replacement stock, Then look at the link below.
Is anyone interested in what mods I did so they can modify their guns? It will require small files and stones. Sooon after I got them, worked out where to smooth and alter things in each of the areas, trigger, bolt, safety, and magazine, and now all my JW-15's have no real issues. The trigger was rough, and the safety was so hard that it hurt the finger to use it. This caused the bolt to be rough, and have a loud click. The biggest problem with them was the rough manufacture. I was concerned that there was no information out to correct the problems. Recently,while trying to search the web for info, I found that a lot of people complain about the same things that I noticed. They were cheap then, about 70 bucks dealer price. I have several (8) Jw-15 guns that I purchased back in the 90's.
