Took the rear sight off and put a fold up in it's place. Have a old 4x scope on it. Think I used Tasco rings and it works good. Had the sight in a junk box. Don't have a picture of it.

 

Bought one from a Pawn shop with a Redfield 3x9 on it. Sweet. Accuracy was better than I was. Minute of squirrel everytime. Don't remember putting it on paper. Brother needed a scoped 22 and away it went.

Just got another and will be scoping it shortly. Haven't shot this one yet. Front sight is loose.

 

I have five JW-15's of various configurations. The rear sight usually needs to be drifted off for a decently mounted (low) scope. I love these rifles. They shoot very well; on par with anything when fed the right ammo.

These rifles were first imported in 1982 by "Clayco" out of Clay Center Kansas. These rifles are a clone of Brno/CZ rifles and they first hit the market when Easter Bloc guns were banned so they were of interest to me. I worked at gun shop at the time and I coughed up the $49 it cost for a standard model and took it out with some Winchester Super-X after work one night. Man! It shot great! I shot about 10 groups from the hood of my pickup and posted them in the shop the next day. Everyone who came in got one of these rifles pitched to him and I sold us out in a week. I think I ended up selling about 60 of them in all. Later I set up quite a few for "Sporter Class" NRA .22 Silhouette shooting. The Clayco's had adjustable triggers, which made them a little sweeter than the later Interarms JW-15. The JWs cam ein some intersting configurations though. One of mine has a three leaf express sight. The wood is all "packing crate" but the metal work is generally good and they are tough as heck.

You should enjoy yours. (Let me know if you tire of it!) ~Andrew

 

Andrew,
I was hoping that you would reply.

I'm planning to keep this one a while, at least until I can see what it can do. In fact, I have my eye on another one.

I don't want to remove the rear sight if I can help it so I will have to mount something short or at least as high as the sight.

Please share what scopes you have on yours as well as what ammo they like. I would also appreciate it if you could post a few pictures of them.

Thanks,
Wannabe

 

The sights drift out easily but if you're not wanting to mess with it, look for a Weaver 2.5X, 3X, 1.5-5X variable or the like. They have no front bell which allows them to be mounted low and astern of the rear sight.~Andrew

 

I just picked one up without front or rear sights. Rear won't be aproblem, but all I see in the front is a .25mm threaded hole. Can anyone tell me where to pick up a sight that will be accepted by this hole or will I have to make a new one?
