The Chinese Mini Mauser — The Norinco JW - 25AA creation of the Chinese firearms company Norin
The Chinese Mini Mauser — The Norinco JW - 25AA creation of the Chinese firearms company Norinco, the JW-25A is a .22LR bolt action rifle that is made to simulate the German World War II era K98k rifle. Inspired by German training rifles, the JW-25A is made to look like a K98k, but with some key differences. First and foremost it is about 25% shorter and lighter than the K98k. The action is a direct copy of the Czech CZ 452-2E, another .22LR bolt action rifle popular for its accuracy and ruggedness. Finally the JW-24A features a 5 round detachable magazine, done for convenience since its difficult to load small .22LR cartridges into a fixed box magazine. However, most other features of the rifle are authentic to or similar to the WWII original, including mounts for a sling, adjustable V-notch sights, barrel bands, cleaning rod, bayonet lug (which doesn’t mount a bayonet), even the “hole” in the stock which was used to aid in the field stripping of the bolt. The JW-25A is marketed for small caliber target shooting/plinking, as well as small game hunting, but in truth we all know that it was created to appeal to the tastes of World War II history buffs. The JW-25A is common in Canada and Europe, where it retails for around $200- $250. It is not commonly available in the United States due to a ban on importation of Chinese firearms. -- source link
