This is the second one of these I have had. My ole' buddy Millman talked me out of the first one with a trade deal I couldn't pass up over a great dinner of BBQ ribs about five years ago.. I made a venture to Gunbroker for the first time in a couple years and this beauty jumped out and made me bid on it, I won.
This is a TU-KWW .22 trainer made in China by Norinco. It is a copy of a .22 training rifle made by Mauser to get troops used to the K98 without the expense of 8mm ammunition. The party I bought it from said he couldn't prove it but he thought it was unfired, I have to agree having it in hand now. There are no records of Norinco products dates but I believe these date here to the early to mid 60's. If anybody has a better date please let me know. I have read that when Navy Arms imported these they had a mount made for a 2X scope you could buy as an extra but not original to these rifles. I had never fired the one I traded but these are supposed to be tack drivers. Maybe Millman will tell us. I have an original K98 sling to put on this and if anybody has a cheap Mauser bayonet let me know, M says a Mauser bayonet will fit. Please enjoy.

That one looks nice. I think you got a deal on it too. I was under the impression that these were brought in in the 80s and early 90s. Pre 94. Here is mine sporting a Czech 98/22 short bayo.

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.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: A Norinco TU-KWW training rifle
I had two of them. One my wife bought me for Christmas. The other one I sold. They are basically a copy of CZ rimfires. The magazines from CZ's will work. Mine is a good little shooter.
GOOD RIDDANCE LGR!! If there isn't a gun range in heaven, then I'm going to hell.

Well I sure like it. I'd be interested to see how it holds up to your mint condition Marlin 60 in a shooting contest.
