Hi,
I saw your post regarding the value of a semi-LMG. I have been trying to gather all of the parts for the past few years. Am very close, but it has been a long haul.
I had purchased a 1941 Johnson from Brian about 2 months before he passed. I was trying to gather the funds to purchase one of his semi LMGs at the same time. He was selling them for about $8,500 and that was with an original bipod, bipod attachment for the barrel, front foregrip and bolt and rear bolt, and three magazines. He used a Joe Scott built magazine feed assembly.
Did Brian's gunsmith build your semi LMG? I have just started to send the parts to him for the build. Trying to get an LMG rear bolt, but the gunsmith can modify the 1941 Johnson rear bolt to work.
Do you happen to have any spare parts that would be for sale?
Best regards,
Larry

I do not have any spare parts, I find that odd that you claim he was selling them for that price with an original bipod, if you are referring to the spring loaded folding model and not the rigged BAR bipod as the spring loaded originals usually go for over 2k alone, but thanks for the input.

Mr. Alpert,
I saw a post on this site where you spoke to another member about converting a 1st pattern 303 Dror into a replica Johnson lmg. I am wanting to do that as well as I can most likely not afford an original Johnson at this time. I was wanting to ask if you knew of any parts kits for a Dror that were for sale or if you had any suggestions that would be a better way of getting a Johnson display lmg. I am a WWII reenactor and historian who portrays the 1st SSF and we do not have even a display Johnson so I am wanting to get one that is as historically accurate as possible. Thank you for any and all information regarding this matter and if you would prefer to communicate via email, mine is se_puls@hotmail.com Thank you.
Respectfully,

Mr. Alpert,
Understood, thank you. How much should I typically pay for a parts kit then? I have seen quite a few JSAR's (am I correct you are referring to the Johnson Semi Automatic Rifle?) for sale but for pretty high prices, but at least they are there. I have not seen many Johnson machine gun parts kits but I would assume this forum would be the best place to look for one? Thank you again so much! I've been working nights so I forget to check all my different forums and such.
Respectfully,

Mr. Alpert,
Thank you for the advice. What are the look alike's made from? Are they their own rifle like the Ohio Ordnance BAR's or are they made out of the semi automatic Johnson rifles? I would be interested in getting one but I simply don't know anything about them. Are they typically made by a specific vendor or just random individuals? I truly appreciate any advice, this is actually welcome news because I'd love to have an actual functioning rifle. Thanks again!
