So I have this norinco .22 it doesn't feed properly.
It did this since I bought it, never bothered to take it back.
When I load the mag and circle the rounds usually the bullet either is point too far up above the chamber or its not coming up enough (Below the chamber).
Sometimes if feeds fine but sometimes not, which is a pain when I have to take a follow up shot.
Anyone else seen this happen?
Here are some pics

5 shoot mag? Could be how you're loading them in. I know they're a nightmare to load. Did you dismantle and thoroughly clean the grease out of the mag when you got it?
There are some old threads on this rifle, sounds like you need to do some work on the mag, a tweak here and a tweak there, I had one the same that pissed me off for years, I read all about the mods and got mine working mint
Have a search on the other forum too, even NZ rimfire forum
Change your ammo, my brno mod 1 will not feed cci mini mags, win silvertips work sweet!
The shape of the projectile causes them to either stick in the mag or then jump up above the chamber, my cz452 won&t feed cci subs, everything ekse works great!
This was quick.
Cheers
Didn't realise there was a rimfire forum. some useful info there too...

The bottom plate of the mag slides off. Takes a good amount of force. Either that or spray the absolute hell out of it with brake clean. I use CCI solely in all my 22's and a dang good clean fixed my jw15 issues.
I thought the bottom was welded in. I'll give it a scrub tonight.
Hopefully that sorts it out. If not, a 10 round CZ 452 mag sounds like a solid replacement.
yep, 5rd steel mag problem. The 10rd ones from CZ are premo and cheaper than the 9shot steel Norinco ones GC sell. LOL
True that... Seems the polymer are ok too...
I'd still go with the metal. Reloaders have them for $79, which is solid.
To be honest I'd got for a complete new CZ .22 rifle but for a plinker Norinco does the job at a reasonable price...
My norinco mag does the same thing as yours also, although it's 12+years old and I'd say has never been cleaned once.. Let me know how you get on with yours...
I replaced my mag with I think it was the CZ mag feeds beautifully
Make sure you note how the mag comes to bits and which way round the guide and spring are, most important! They only work one way
Don't use any lube, except graphite on the mag when reassembling, no grease or oil!
I had a 15 round Stirling that did this. A quick little mod to the guides(bend them in a little and the front I think) and all good.
So I took the Lego pieces apart, having decided I am going for a CZ mag, if I f-cked up this magazine who gives a shit, at least I tried.
It was pretty clean inside, so cleaning it didn't do the job.
After some trial and error bending the metal plate I failed number of times, but couple of hours went by and I got it working to a certain extent, It just needed to align how far the bullets are coming up, so its not too far up and not too far back inside...
I was cycling rounds over and over again, its far from perfect but it runs ok. Here is the magazine itself.

I have a spare 5 round JW 15 mag... It wont work in my BRNO, and the JW rifle was stolen years ago, minus the bolt.. (idiots) so if you wanted a mag that worked well, sing out.. my JW shot beautifully.. sat well in hand too with the plastic flat bottomed stock.. My 10 round CZ mag sticks, anything over 7 rounds they sit flat.. yep, pulled apart many times!
As you did Petros, I had a closer look, though mucked about with the angles on the follower.. worked fine till it was in-field! grr..
cheers mate, I'll keep you in mind...
