I think lots of people know them well now. Avoid the Polytech brand, avoid the GC ones - some of which were very poor, and favour the older wooden stock ones (though some plastic stock ones shot well too). An hour or so polishing bolt (especially dremelling underside which runs over sear). Then adjusting/polishing trigger, swapping in lighter Mitre 10 springs in to bring it back to 2.5lbs or so. Deburr the mags in and out, and keep them oiled. Ensure barrels in centre of channel, then do some ammo testing and torque test front bedding screw for max accuracy. Pretty easy - and have found most of them will drop under 0.5" at best at 50m. Makes them good little worker 22s.

JW15 a copy of the old Brno One, so a little polishing to bring out the Brno DNA and you're good to go. JW27 good too, and EM332 a military trainer rifle and excellent wee 22. Good value and great for the truck..

I've got a Polytech model, and it's a tack driver!
