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

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.

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
