In need of funds so I have decided to part with my 1941 Johnson. Serial number A5370. Over all condition is at 95%. Stock has a repaired crack which appears to be somewhat common in the same area. I saw 1 at a gun show with a smaller crack but in the same area. Looks more like a fracture line. Bore is perfect. Finish on metal at 95%. Comes with a Johnson bayonet and scabbard & Johnson booklet. And I'll include the 1941 Johnson rifle VHS tape that I purchased here from a board member. Price is $6000 shipped & insured to you. If I can't move it here I'll try one of the online auction sites. Thanks Jr. email me at Jr1259@aol.com Clcik here for many pictures on my 1941 Johnson,, http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...74473&members=1

Oh ok. Thanks Jr.

Walt, how about the configuration of parts on a serial # of A5370. Anything on those numbers? Thanks Jr

Walt, Thanks. I did order a front pin and the VHS tape. Can't wait to get them. If I run into any problems I'll sure post again. Jr.

Art, sounds like a good idea. For now I'll start with the tape. Need that up front info. The super glue worked very well on the crack. Got it from the inside which shows no signs on the outside of a glue repair. Applying the glue from the inside slightly bubbled out from the front as I applied drying time pressure on the wood. Which I quickly wiped. It creeps around to form a good repair. Now for a front pin. Does the rear pin have to come out in order to install a new front pin? Jr.

Thanks Joe. I sent ya an email for a front pin. Jr.

Is this the front pin in question?,,, For some more pictures,,, http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...56381&members=1 Jr ps, the crack does go through. Joe, thanks for the super glue idea. I'll have to pick some up and also consider your VHS video.

Hey Thanks again for the replys. WOW $6500. These sure sound like big ticket items. Hmmm, I wonder what they will be worth 10 years from now. Now to find a link on how to take her apart and familiarize myself with the parts. The seller had her apart but I don't remember what he showed me at the time. Any pics on this part? spring steel tang on the cross pin Jr

Thanks guys. I hope to take her out for a shoot some time this week. That crack is more like an iimperfection on the wood. It does not go throught the other side. Perhaps I should still keep the thought of having it checked out. I wonder how they it could be done so that it does not detract from the rifle at all. Jr

I just purchased my first 1941 Johnson rifle for $3500. Seller had it since 1969. He still has the purchase receipt. He's getting on in years and has not fired the Johnson for about 25 years. Bore is Great. I also got a johnson bayonet & scabbard with the deal. Can I please get some opinions on whether or not I did ok with this Johnson? Also what's the letter "M" on the barrel collar indicate? Thank you Jr This link has many pictures on my johnson,,,,,,,,, http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...56381&members=1
