The rifle is 5.1lbs and it comes with a threaded muzzle, which is pretty useless for Canada. Can’t say I’m a fan, but I did like the tight cheek weld when using the iron sights. The rear sights use a sliding shutter to adjust for elevation, similar to the rear sight on the Ruger 10/22. I had 2 failures to fire when I was out shooting in -15C weather, but it runs well otherwise. Some shooters wearing long sleeve shirts might have hot brass run down their sleeve if their hand is in the wrong place. New rounds are fed into the top of the bolt mechanism while empty shells are ejected downwards. The trigger itself is fairly long, VERY spongy, but light enough at 4lbs. The crossbolt safety is just in front of the trigger. The bolt will not lock open after the last round, so you’ll know when you’re empty by hearing a “click” instead of a bang. Rack the bolt charging handle on the bottom of the receiver and you’re loaded and ready to go.
It’ll take 11 rounds and you’ll know when you’re at 12 because the round will poke out the hole instead of sliding inside. Pull back on the magazine inner from the buttstock until you reach the stop (or it comes completely out), then start feeding rounds into the side port on the stock. That all said, they’re pretty cheap, with Cabela’s selling them for $189, which is where I bought this one. The JW-20 user’s manual is ancient with rusty staples holding it together and the rifles were bagged and preserved in thick oil. I believe that the current Norinco JW-20’s we’re seeing in Canada were originally made in the 90’s for export to the US and ended up with us since the US has not lifted their mid-90’s ban on Chinese firearms.
