Nov 1938 issue - This was the first major coverage of the Johnson rifle. It is 6 pages and has pictures of the rifle taken down and of firing. Nov 1939 issue - Accuracy of the Johnson at the Advanced Rifle School at camp Perry. The article is about 2 columns long. This was the source (#130) on page 47 of Canfield's Johnson book. Dec 1939 issue - Fred C Ness shooting with Johnson in Maine. The article is about 3 1/2 columns long. The source cited (#131) on page 47 of Canfield's Johnson book should have been the Dec 1939 issue. https://www.ebay.com/itm/167249360795

I'm on vacation till the end of March. I will list springs on ebay when I get back.

This is my Miltech restoration with original and new barrel. Miltech made both headspace properly.

If you want it the gun restored, call Miltech.

Call Miltech

I am pulling this off of Ebay at the end of this cycle. A better set is now listed.

Have Miltech look at your gun. They specialize this sort of thing.

If you want to see a real Johnson used in a movie, check out a film "Assembly" by Feng Xioogang.

I have one of those Johnsons. It shoots really well.

I looking for a 1945 LMG operating handle. Not the dror one.

Bayonets are like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. Most are a little shorter than 12 inches.

When a barrel is too far gone, Miltech will make a reproduction barrel to use their Johnson restorations. Ed has made dozens of barrel from the stock of parts he has. A little while ago, I post a picture of a box full of locking lugs that was at his shop. Miltech has restored hundred of Johnson over the years.

US small arms in world war II by Tom Laemlein has a lot of pictures too.

There a few more pictures of the rifle and lmg

The middle three are. The first and last is from the Canfield book. The pictures did not upload the order I expected.

Torgerson might have had two carbines. The one he had at Bougainville has the vertical stripe on the buttstock. The one he has at Camp Pendleton (Canfield book) does not. The Pendleton carbine also has the block behind the rear sight.

According to the book Paramarine! by Chris Mason, the Marine in the photo is Lieutenant Robert J Leonard holding Major Torgerson's carbine. On his chest is a medical kit stenciled "S14-075 First Aid Paratroop".

I am looking for a LMG hammer.

I am looking for a two of second type Dror rear sights.

I have come across the operating handle on the left. Does anyone have any information as why it is different.

What is the serial number, I might be interested in picking another one up.

Does anybody have any definitive information about the unique mainspring follower that I have?

The one on the right is a normal part and has not been cut. I posted the pictures of the mainspring follower and bolt stop plate because they are both unique and came from Winfield Arms when they liquidated their parts.
