Walt, thank you for posting the info. I just purchased this rifle and am proud to have finally joined the club of JSAR owners. I have been waiting and watching for one for quite some time. I just brought it home and have been breaking it down to go over all the parts which I will list what I find to compare against the list you so graciously provided. I am having one problem and am hoping you or someone out there can help me when it comes to removing the stock group so I can remove the rotary magazine. I have some photo copied pages from "MIlitary Handbook of the Johnson Semi-Automatic Rifle" and I have looked at the disassembly instructions on James Pullen's Johnson rifle site which state to disengage the hammer block pin, located behind the feed lips on the right side of the receiver, with the point of a cartridge or drift and then push out the pin. The problem I am having is that the pin does not depress in order to disengage it. Upon examination of the pin it appears to be identical to the pin in the forestock on the right side that I can rotate counterclockwise and easily remove. However the hammer pin "tang" for my lack of technical knowledge is at the 6 o'clock position in behind the feed lips and I can not seem to rotate it clockwise in order to free it from the feed lips to pull out of the right side of the receiver. I have also read that there was a second type of hammer block pin produced later by Johnson that had a "lifter head" because the first pins were prone to breaking. Any help from anyone who can offer input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, WWIInut.
