I know this is out of left field but interested to know if anyone has done a barrel swap one one of the cheap chinese copies of the CZ452 ,the Norinco JW15A !!
(I usually shoot a CZ457 MTR, CZ453, Bergara B14R , Anschutz 1761 & a Turbo.)
However whilst the above are all fantastic 22LR rifles I was recently given a Norinco JW15A 22LR with a bent barrel.
On inspection appears the barrel is pinned& not screwed.
Considering removing the barrel & possibly replacing it with a second hand CZ452 barrel as I believe these were also pinned & not screwed like the CZ455, & CZ457 were.
The Norinco JW15A looks in fair shape & rather than bin it would like to see if i can resurect the old thing as a project.
Has anybody else had a go at this sort of thing & would the CZ452 barrel fit without to much trouble?
Probably have to headspace etc but this should not present a problem.
Would like to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks
