Thanks for the picture. I'm sorry but I transposed the barrel #. It is 5770E. Oh well. My guess is the butstock with the fire control must have been swithched. It still had grease in the lug area of the barrel and in the magazine. Scott

WOW, that is so cool. Thank you very much! Would you have any idea of the market value of the package might be?? I'm guessing I would need to increase my firearms insurance amount. I thought that 7mm Mauser was 7.92X57. Is that correct? If so I could use the surplus ammo in it as long as I cleaned it afterwards? Thanks again. Scott P.S. The bolt doesn't stay open when I pull the bolt back. How would I get the bolt hold open feature to work? And again, thanks for all the help.

The serial # is 6177. The brown leather sling has an over all length of 46" and is approximately 1 3/16" wide. There are two brass buttons(like large cufflinks), one for either end. They are to lock two of the 13 holes together to make a loop. Any suggestions on what to use to preserve the leather in the sheath and sling? How does the 7X57 caliber affect the value? I thought that 7mm Mauser was 7.92X57. Is that correct? If so I could use the surplus ammo in it as long as I cleaned it afterwards? So the serial #s are for the different parts and have nothing to do with the serial # of the firearm? Especially with the "Navy Arms" on the bottom side of the barrel, I thought they had stripped a bunch of rifles. After going through the binds of parts and separating the good from the bad parts, they just put complete rifles together from the parts. I really appreciate all the information. Thank you very much.

I have inherited a rifle from my wife's grandfather's collection. He passed away over 20 years ago. My wife's grandmother has moved into assisted living, so the firearms collection is being broken up. Since the family knows that I enjoy collecting military firearms, they gave me the Johnson Rifle. The receiver reads: CAL.30-06 SEMI-AUTO. "JOHNSON AUTOMATICS" MODEL OF 1941 MADE IN PROVIDENCE, R.I.,U.S.A. 61XX The parts are numbered as follows: Trigger Frame 6205 Hammer 9293 Drum Mag A3644 Link and Locking Cam 6323 Bolt 7634 Firing Pin 3959 Extractor 5307 Barrel which is marked "CAL. 7m/m" 5770E On the bottom it is marked "NAVY ARMS CO.,RIDGEFIELD,N.J. U.S.A." The stock has a "L" and a larger "I" next to the drum mag and a "4." at the bottom of the pistol grip and the left side of the stock which look like the military configuration stocks on the site. There are a few nicks here and there with a small crack in the middle of the left side that doesn't reach any ending points of the stock. The rifle came with a simple leather sling and a bayonet with a sheath. The bayonet looks like the originals on the site, but the sheath is very different. Instead of the retaining strap coming straight across, it comes across just above the barrel loop and goes straight down. The end of the sheath is square, being approximately 3/4" straight across with a V-shaped reinforcement. There is a separate flap for the belt loop on the back side. Behind the flap on the sheath are the letters: EC 942 AMT The stuff has been in a gun cabinet at least 20 years. I don't see any pitting. Since none of the parts have the same serial #, I'm guessing this was put together by Navy Arms. Any information about what kind of 7mm ammunition the rifle would take, I would appreciate. Since all the other examples seem to be of 30.06 that's what I thought it was. Sorry, but I can't find my digital camera, so I've got no way to post or send pictures. Thanks again for any info. Scott
