    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

      Hi,

         Wanted to add that I may be very interested in buying yours if you get to that point.

         Best regards,

      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.

      Hi,

         It was with the original bipod and the original LMG bolt, front foregrip and Joe Scott manufactured magazine feed tray. Brian was a complete gentlemen and expert in the field. He did a lot to help collectors with information as well as a source for referrals for parts.

         Brian was very generous with his time with me and many other collectors.

         I am extremely familiar with the original bipod and other original parts. The fact that it would have been from Brian makes it that much more valuable.

         Brian had three of these semis for sale at that time. Some slight variations. All priced in that range.

         And of course, if Brian said they were original, they would be original.

         Best regards,

         Larry
