Having been on lockdown with just Pooter and Baby Girl, my 2 cats, I have been going through the collection with a dust broom and an oil can. When I ran across this rifle I was, to say the least, very puzzled. As the header says, I thought I traded this rifle to millman and for the life of me, I do not remember buying it. A PM to millman solved the mystery, I did trade him one. So....I'm old and my memory is too.
For those of you that have never seen one of these trainers, this rifle is a Norinco replica of one of the German .22 rimfire military training rifles, as made by Mauser, Walther and a couple more to introduce recruits to the 1898 Mauser service rifle. I know where an original German trainer made by Anschutz is hiding and as soon as Mr. Trump sends me some virus money it will be mine and I will share it with the membership here. I did find that a Czech bayonet I had fits this trainer like a German one would. In the meantime please enjoy this trainer with me.
I thought I traded this to millman 4 or 5 years ago

Interesting, never heard of this one, the Chinese do have a history of making Mauser's. Makes you wonder if they copied , or used original tooling.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The action on these is an almost identical clone of the BRNO#1 action. In fact my Brno #1 has a new CZ magazine, and it will work in the Norinco just fine. However the Norinco mag won't work in the BRNO.Junk Yard Dog wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 2:08 am Interesting, never heard of this one, the Chinese do have a history of making Mauser's.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

I believe that is also the same as the JW-15 action. In any case it is a damn nice .22.

Thanks Mike but in doing my research I find that Steve is out of warranty and some of his parts already don't work.

I got my virus money and bought an FN49. Now I’m just waiting on my federal refund.
