Gun and gear reviews Can we all give TENDA some love?

Post image

I picked up 2 of these Mauser .22 (JW25) clones when they were selling them for $300 each tax in with 1000 round Aguila 22 ammo.

The rifles are both beautiful and shoot shockingly well.... I got 2 for my 2 kids and wish I had more kids to have bought more for lol.

Mine was machined so poorly the bolt comes out when ejecting a spent round and gets a solid 6" grouping at 15yds BUT it was cheap and makes me laugh

They have some amazing deals and a huge selectio, plus the free shipping. I just sometimes hate how long they take to ship out stuff. SFRC is also great for the sales around holidays, usually 10-14% off everything and free shipping.

G4C is also awesome, they ship faster than anyone else I think. I've ordered in the evening, and had the PAL ran and the rifle shipped out by them next business day, most shops usually take 3-7 days to do that. 

I do love Tendas gun and ammo promo deals. Sometimes you basically are just getting a free gun for the price of the ammo, that's a hard deal to beat. I figure they must be losing money or just barely breaking even.

I got the same package deal but haven't got a chance to shoot it yet. That's great to hear they shoot well!

The JW15 family gets so much hate for literally no reason. Awesome guns for the money

The magazines for these are garbage and don't work. At least you can use cz mags.

The guns themselves are quite rough, maybe they're better if they are broken in a bit and polished? I'm not sure.

It's a clone of the cz452, and though I agree they are externally quite rough, their action isn't any less smooth than a "real" cz452. The 452s were famously rough and was a big reason they switched to the single lug action with the 455 and 457.

However, there is a lot of information online regarding "cleaning up" CZ 452s to make the action smoother, and all of this can be applied to the JW as they are 1:1 reverse engineered copies.

For $200-$300 and an hour or two of investment fitting the action you get a ridiculously cheap and rediculously good plinker

Wood floors in the kitchen... Are you at the cottage?

u/Agonizing-Stroke1812 Aug 16 '26

No idea where OP is but hardwood floors in kitchens are very common in newer builds in the GTA and often sought after over tile

Not in the gta but I have a new home that I recently bought (was built within the last 5 years). Hardwood floors in the kitchen is stupid. When I bought the place, you could see the finish coming off the hardwood where the fridge was because the icemaker shoots those little semi-white missles at warp 5.
