I know its frustrating but its only been 7 days?? Packages usually will show up, heck Ive had them take several weeks. I wouldnt get to excited yet

Well you can but it wont last. Springs need replaced when they wear out

Looking for a good firing pin with washer and spring, seems like all online vendors are out. Anyone have a extra for sale? Thanks

Anyone have any leads??????????????

Pricy little devils arent they.... rifle isnt much good without one though

Some of those parts you are looking for are pretty hard to come by. Good luck with your search, hope you find them

Anyone heard from Walt???

Any comments on this rifle? https://www.poulinauctions.com/mexican-johnson-model-1941-semiauto-rifle/

Im not a "purist" but I do recommend stripped the bolt first . Do not force handle to close, you will ruin the gage. Basically close with very light finger pressure

I am trying to help a friend who needs a retainer pin clip that goes on the forearm, I will buy the complete forearm if need to get this part. I have checked all normal vendors, no one has these. If you can help please let me know Thanks

There is definatly a market for them. I know of one guy that would buy a set today if available

What are bayos with scabbards in used good condition selling for today? 9118 stamped on barrel ring, has wear to finish and scabbard. I can get pictures if needed Thanks

Thank you

Ed I sent you a PM ,let me know if interested

The Garand Collectors Journal has a article about rifle A0009 that was carried into battle at Iwo Jima by Major Robert Dunlap. Article states that he was awarded the nations highest award for valor in combat with that rifle. Rifle was given to him after the war ended and kept on his wall until his death in 2000. It was put up for auction and is now owned by Robert and Brad Simpson of Collectors Firearms

The pictures are what I saw on the site it was auctioned at https://www.icollector.com/EXTREMELY-EARLY-JOHNSON-MODEL-1941-SEMI-AUTO-RIFLE-THAT-WAS-ISSUED-TO-MEDAL-OF-HONOR-RECIPIENT-CAPT_i17332701 The article in the GCA is more about Major Robert Dunlap than the rifle.

I saw pics of the rifle, the finish on the barrel didn't look very worn for a battel rifle??

Im surprised it hasn't gone higher than that, is the market soft on these now? Maybe at the last minute it will take a jump

I really see no difference in it than the one I just paid $4000 for other than my handguard was cracked and missing one screw which both have been replaced In the description he states all matching and correct. I thought the numbers never matched?

What makes that a $10,000 rifle? Is it the sellers reputation , good pictures and description?

Many thanks to Ryche for helping me with a replacement clip.Much appreciated!

No longer need, clip found. Thanks Looking for a Forearm with a good retainer pin clip or just the clip itself . Please PM me if you have either one for sale Thanks

Glad to see you made it to the forum
