I am looking for a 1941 Johnson magazine axis pin. PM me if you have one Thanks

I found someone that made me two door springs, they arn't perfect but are close. If anyone is interested let me know by email and I'll contact him. $15.00 ea. I've attached some photos. Bob sinker0429@yahoo.com

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.

I met an elderly gunsmith here in New Hampshire who worked in a wood working shop in western Mass. that supplied stocks and fore grips for Johnsons. I can put you in touch with him. My email is sinker0429@yahoo.com

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.

Well I was replacing the magizine housing on my rifle and broke the door spring. I called Mr Scott but he doesn't have any. Anybody have one they would be willing to part with or any idea how to make one,someone must have run into this problem. Thanks Bob

Mitch J ,I looked at some stippers that I have and see that you took the spring piece out of the stipper base, I'm on this now. Let me know any tips you have come up with. M48 TANKER, the banding stock is a good idea also, I'm off to Lowes tomorrow to find some.

Gun parts corp lists them as out of stock, I will call them and Sarco on Monday and I'm going to try "Miltech" too they restore Johnsons. Mitch J ,those look great, how did you cut the stripper clip and put the 1/2 round bend in it? Your defineately on to somthing. Bob

I just received my new stock from Mr Scott and it looks great, he is a great asset to this hobby and has helped me get my "41" looking and funtioning perfect. I'll post some pictures when I get it back together. Thanks to all

The butt stock on my 41 has developed a serious crack and has a few other problems so I would like to replace it. Any suggestions on where to look and what the cost might be?

Any pictures of the bad gun from the Gun Broker add. This person will be selling on other sites and should be on a watch list.

I know that there were aprox. 25,000 1941 Johnsons made but does anyone have an idea how many are still out there?

Going back to what Webmaster said about serial numbers,why does anyone black out part of the serial number? Do they think their gun was stolen at some time? I see it on other sites and have wondered why.
