Ok, headspace is correct....rifle works great...clean, shiny bore, excellent condition...SN = B5019. Can anyone help me out on history of that SN?

Received the rifle as scheduled. In my opinion, it is the 90% rifle the auction house claimed. Excellent stock, metal finish, bore, etc. Took it apart enough to thoroughly check the headspacing...all good there. SN = B5019 and am anxious to get the Johnson book and check out its history, etc.

Thanks for the information. Could anyone actually suggest a qualified gunsmith that I could just ship the firearm to for inspection and/or repair? Hopefully too, Joe Scott will respond to this posting with his contact info and I will order the DVD, etc.

Just purchased a M1941 Johnson through Rock Island Auction (due in this Friday). Question is...should I have a gunsmith check it out prior to firing or is there seldom a need for this? Any other tips?
