Thread: An intetesting Norinco 22

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketpl...ing/3720997195

If I had a hankering for a 22 project this would be worth a punt.

I think the seller is on here

A few hrs ago a customer brought one in that had been used by the Chinese Olympic team apparently back in the 80/90s very nice rifle.

is that the EM or a heavy barrel JW?

Its not an EM.

Looked to be a copy of the Brno Model 4.

For anyone looking for a Em332 there is one in the upcoming Ruahine Arms Auction.

EM has a spoon style bolt handle

There is a version of the EM-332 called the NS-522 that has a traditional bolt handle. The correct cutlery-related term for the EM-332 is actually a butter knife bolt handle!

I've never seem one in NZ... I must confess I got a bit excited when I first saw the pics on TM though! Sadly, it was short lived. I would love to have one if each... Having two EM-332s just seems greedy!

I have a EM332 with conventional bolt and 2 mag slots in the butt.

@Ultimitsu - please post some pics. Sounds exactly like a NS-522. Here is an interesting forum thread: https://www.rimfirecentral.com/threa...ns-522.554943/

I reckon it's an early model JW-15 with a custom sight setup. It's got that funny hook thing behind the bolt that JW-15s have.

weird markings on top of the reciever....the round punched in symbol...almost like old bruno as is the scope dovetails..... definately different... the flare at muzzle reminds me of the old TOZ....

But a JW15 it is not.

weird how the bruno #2 has it too but just like a sheilah I once tried to chat up...it swings the other way.....

I reckon it's a Norinco JW-8 with a different stock on it.
