Hi Joe I'm going to the Tulsa show and would like to bring you a 41 jsar barrel to repark/restore.

Joe I am going to look you up at Tulsa. You're still at table 19c2 correct? Will you have any of your JSAR field stripping DVD's with you?

Im planning on being there Joseph, will meet you at the sawberger table at noon. looking forward to it!

Jim i saw that as well, there is another ebay seller with a copy of a johnson arms manual...it has a jsar on the cover with the same bayonet fitted.

Thanks so much for the Reply Bob

Jim after reading your response i removed it again and i think what happened is last time i put it in the rifle was upside down, holding it right side up let it seat properly and now the action works fine. I havent totally broken the rifle down yet but inspection of the bolt reveals a match to the serial you gave me! Thanks so much for your help and quick responses! I look forward to much correspondence with the members of this site, i spent all day today reading the entire history of these boards and am more excited than ever to hold this piece of history, and how exceptional is it that yourself, the author of the "book", and even a member of the johnson family frequent this site...incredible! You all are an amazing help to those of us hungry to find out all we can about this rifle. I cant order the book fast enough, or get that bayonet, or research slings ect. Thank you all very much for everything you do here.

Has anyone heard any numbers on how many of these weapons still exist? I see that most likely around 30,000 were produced, i wonder how many survived.

Hi guys i just joined this fine site. I recently acquired a 41 JSAR ser 8136 from my father. I have a decent ( I thought) knowlege of firearms so i went to the field stripping section of this site. After curiosity of what was possibly contained inside the buttplate, (it was empty) i unscrewed and removed the spring assembly contained inside. I thought i put it back correctly, but now the rifle wont cycle at all. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what im doing wrong or how to fix this? Any other info anyone could give me on this ser# would also be appreciated. And no i wont go unscrewing stuff in the future 8)
