    I am having a hard time touching base with you. My age and no computer skills are not helping.

    I have a 1941 Johnson rifle and a 1941 LMG that was put back together with the help of Brian Alpert and 

    Rodney Richardson. It runs very well on the range, no problems. I was at the Barre,Vt. gun show last week

    and was asked if one or both were for sale and offered $ 9000.00 for both. I have no idea what the semi auto

    LMG is worth. Any thoughts ?

      Hi Bob

      I am sorry that you have been having trouble contacting me. I watch the forum fairly closely, but some times it fails in notifying me of PM's, even though I do check frequently.

      The semi-auto LMG, as it is built from a 'cut' receiver', will have less a value, if properly advertised as a cut-receiver'. Uncut SMLG's have  seen slightly higher prices than JSAR's. Recently one very nice one went for $12K back in Sept 2022, and another, with several magazines, went for $14k.

      JSAR's have recently run the gambit from $5k and up, with some hitting some astronomical $15-16k. However, there are 3-4 that have sat on Gun Broker for weeks, with the seller asking $10-16K as starting bids.

      You might be better off posting photos of both, here on the forum, and see if any forum members either want to offer or give you a better feel for the their potential worth. Or list them yourself on GunBroker or other auction site.

      Thanks for the  info. The LMG was built with help from Brian Alpert and Rodney Richardson. Brian was a big 

      help all around..I have sent photos to rarecat ( Frank ) to look at, as he may be interested in one or both.

      Thanks
