Thread: Norinco model 4 early JW15

Just finished doing a quick restore of a JW15 manufactured for ClayCo in Kansas USA mid 1980s
Got the gun recently off the for sale site just for local pest control, decided to clean it up a bit and
Made the decision to shorten barrel to 17” a good polish up re crowned cold blued and pleased how it’s
Turned out. It had a Nikko silver crown on top but I would like (I think) but still thinking of 2-7x32 bushnell rimfire
If anyone has one. Trigger feels very good and this early one has the over travel screw as standard.
The stock needs a clean up but I’m going to use as is for the time being as I want to introduce it to the bunnies.

Want to put smaller scope on than the Nikko 4x32

physically smaller scope or just less magnification? I've got a 1-4x20 Barska scope I picked up from a member for $50 that I'm no longer going to use.. but it probably weighs more than the 4x32 you currently have.

Sorry Nikko is 4x40 anyone want it ?

This Nikko has cleaned up nice lenses were covered in dust I will give it a try out.

Nikkos are good scopes for the money

reduced barrel length to about 17 inches re crowned and cleaned up nicely and re blued. A good polish of the trigger a bit lighter spring and slightly lighter firing spring bump tested all good, on to the stock which is old but feels nice so free floated barrel channel as was a bit warped and I fitted steel pillars and epoxied action and first inch of barrel to stock then today the postie delivered a tiara 4x28 Nikko sterling scope so decision to be made which scope Attachment 269289Attachment 269290Attachment 269291Attachment 269292to use, a no brainer for me the 4x28 tiara it just fits nice on this gun and cross hairs nice clear and fine. Hopefully it does the job which I’m sure it will then there will be a free 4x32 Nikko sterling to someone and an old gold crown 4x40 for a box of ammo.
Norinco model 4 made in 1983 and Tiara 4x28 more than likely older than that I’m sure these two oldies will do the job.

Thanks to Zimmer for the 4x32 and 4x28 much appreciated.
