I am looking for a 1941 Johnson magazine axis pin. PM me if you have one Thanks
-
Several years ago I meet a gunsmith here in New Hampshire that had worked in a wood working shop in western Mass that supplied stocks and fore ends for the 41 Johnson. I visited his shop to see what he might have and bought an NOS , unfinished stock with a new butt plate and tube that he kept for himself . I couldn't believe my luck, and he is a great gunsmith too.

There is an original barrel for sale on Gun Broker, 13 days, no reserve starting at $200. Item #317604281.

What stamping should be on an original 30.06 barrel? Do all have the JA stamp?

I stand corrected, I thought you had to supply the rifle in the case of the Johnson. The 41 Johnson is a rare gun that parts are difficult if not imposable to get so the Miltech Johnson seems like a good choice. In my case the rifles I purchased are very nice in looks and quality but I'll never get their value back as an investment.Right now there is a K98 on GB that the owner can't sell,he has reduced it from the purchase price by $200 { search under miltech}, the gun is a beauty but stock is incorrect I believe. In your case you got it at a great price and if you ever do sell you will do well.

I was having a difficult time getting the tube in the right location for the cross key to install properly then got an idea. I painted the flat area on the tube that accepts the key with orange paint { color your choice}.By shining light from the opposite side you can see it through the hole as you work the tube in. I hope this is helpful. Bob

I have purchased two rifles for Miltech, a Springfield Garand, and a Tula SVT40. Both are fine rifles, the Garand is a tac driver but I will never get back the money I payed for them, they are no longer original. Also if they say nine months be prepared to wait considerably longer and getting a straight answer from them is imposable. If it's $5600 to refurb plus the original cost of the rifle, that runs your base cost up to never breaking even

From the butt end forward. I used a 11mm socket on an extension tapping it forward with a brass hammer after taking out the cross pin.
-
Sorry to hear that, I guess if someone wants to get your stuff nothing can stop them. Hope you find the scumbag.

What kind of gun safes and how did they break in to them?

I was unable to find an original door spring and will keep looking but using a tip I found here I made a satisfactory replacement from a .308 stripper clip spring. Some grinding was required to make it fit the door opening then using the hinge pin, a hammer and a piece of wood with a groove in it you can pound the flat spring to start the bend for the pin, then a little gentle bending and your done. Thanks for those who responded Bob

So far no one has any door springs. I'm in the process of getting the material together from the sugestions I got here and making one. I did here back from a spring company that said they could make it if I sent my broken pieces and some pictures so they could price it. When I hear back from them I'll post here.
