Gun and gear reviews Mini Mauser
Any thoughts on this? I just saw Adriel’s, AKA hunting gear guy, review on this.
Looks… fine? Has anyone shot this thang yet? Please share some experience on accuracy and reliability.
Thanks in advance.

My Norinco JW-15a was a bit rough at first. The magazine was incredibly stiff, and I struggled to get 5 out of the 9 cartridges in there. The bolt also wasn't smooth at all. Repetition and oil made both a beauty though. The magazine requires a bit of extra force to get the 9th in there, but I don't find it to be a hindrance at all. The bolt isn't exactly fluid, but I'm able to cycle it with relative ease. For me, it's a lot of fun and was worth the money.
