Norinco JW-14

[Cennipe]

I just want to know anything I can on this little rifle. How accurate it can be? Mainly out to 50 yards; reliability etc. Also if I could even get one because it is Chinese made, on a web site that was selling them (http://www.marstar.ca/gf-norinco/22-JW-14.shtm) said that Chinese weapons couldn't be imported to the USA; is this true? The other thing I wanted to know about it the Bushmaster Carbon 15 22lr (not the conversion kit;http://www.bushmaster.com/catalog_carbon15_AZ-C1522LR.asp) pretty much the same as the JW-14, although this gun is just more because I am curious.

I mainly want info on the JW-14 though.

Thanks in advance.

Odds are pretty high that you can't import it into the US. There's a slight chance that it might be considered sporting, but offhand I don't remember the guidelines well enough to say one way or another.

that Chinese weapons couldn't be imported to the USA

its all pretty subjective. chinese shotguns are coming into the country on a regular basis. but center fire rifles are not. i donno about rimfires

Actually sounds pretty good from the links. Apparently takes Marlin mags, too. Hmmmm - gonna have to start browsing for that one. . .
