I'm really not in favor of cutting the barrel. My plan is to make a threaded collar to cover the threads, much like the one used on 1896 Swedish Mausers with threaded muzzles. Thanks for the information about my rifle, but I'm not familiar with "NPC". Can you help me with that? Barry, I will measure the threads and let you know what the diameter and pitch is. Vern

Last weekend I obtained a Johnson rifle for the first time. I am very happy with it, but had to think long and hard about buying it due to one problem. The barrel muzzle is threaded. I looked around on line and found a 2012 discussion about another rifle with threaded muzzle, but no one had a concrete idea about why or when the threading was done. It appears that there is solder or braze metal residue on the face of the sight base. Any thoughts on this forum? Also, my serial number is 6343 with no letter prefix. Any chance I could get some information on it? Thanks, Vern
