    In my experience using my own loads I found the 7mm very sensitive to light loads. With full factory loads or loaded to full factory specs it cycled fine. So my first thought is ammo.  Be sure to have it clean & lubricated. Otherwise I never had any 7mm issues, just my light load experience. It wouldn't take almost any reduction in the load.

    If you want a 30-06 barrel just for shooting, get yourself a new one from Joe Scott. Top quality for a very fair price.

    Joe Scott is an active member and can be contacted through this forum.

    I would never sell a "pretty nice" Johnson just because it's in 7x57. If the barrel you have is good, there is nothing to stop you from shooting it, all components for the 7x57 are readily available.

    Thanx for the feedback. I actually like the 7x57, and the rifle performs fine with them. As a senior citizen I am slowly culling the herd so to speak. I have lots of .30-06 ammo and would be looking to shoot that, vs burning up my 7x57 reloads.

    The M1941 has become a safe queen and if some one wanted it at a fair price (whatever that is) I think I like it to go to a more appreciating home.

    Thanx again Adriaan

    It's been a while since I visited/posted to the forum. Hope everyone is doing well.

    I have a pretty nice M1941 SAR with an excellent 7mm (7x57) barrel. My quest is to either sell or pursue a .30-06 barrel.

    So I'm trying to gauge the interest in the rifle and/or availability of .30-06 barrels. If there's enough interest I'll post pix.

    I added pix at http://public.fotki.com/LoboMike/johnson-m1941/

    Asking price of $3,500.00 plus shipping & insurance. Offers welcomed.

    Thanx for viewing.

    I am offering an original military configuration Johnson M1941 SAR.

    While the barrel is dark and well worn, it shoots surprisingly well.

    Also, the barrel is original JA with proper markings.

    Finish is about 20%. Many parts are original from Johnson Automatics (I have a list).

    Pictures tell the story: http://public.fotki.com/LoboMike/johnson-m1941/

    Rifle is offered on GunBroker http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=164737699

    As a courtesy to list members, the reserve is set at $3,250, very fair IMO.

    Thanx for viewing, Mike
