Thread: JW15 piece of shit

20 odd years back i briefly owned a norinco 22mag, it was pretty good but in the end i sold it to build a super-ruger (damn i miss that gun).
one thing people fail to realise is that especially when it comes to chinese imported anything (with a few exceptions) that make and model does not equal the same manufacturer. for instance your hunters element socks will not be made in the same factory as your hunters element jacket. your norinco jw15 may not come out of the same factory as your mates one.
and when it comes to electronic gear its just the same, what looks the same externally can be completely different internally.
now having said that there are some truly beautiful pieces of manufacturing coming from china it all depends on quality control. to give you an instance "opera" audio amplifiers (if you like the tube sound) are incredibly well made, mercedes manufacture their A class in taiwan and if you are into mercs you wouldnt fault them.
now heres the kicker, when someone orders a bulk order from china (say 10,000 rifles) the manufacturer will start building them then run out of time and sub-contract another company to finish the order so as not to avoid late penalty fees and this is whee it all falls to hell
