Very nice pictures. Thanks.

One last thing. My brother and I went to Breakheart Reservation in 1973 I think it was. Anyhow there was a big bare rock that was above the vegetation and you could see a long way from up there. We watched the Chelsea fire from there. If I remember right it burned 18 city blocks and almost burned Everett. You have a good night. Thanks for putting up with my reminiscing.

Imgone, very interesting. I used to go by the old Saugus Ironworks all the time, Is the chimney still there? I bought my 1st rifle at a gunshop in Stoneham, and still have it. Colt AR15 SP. Can't remember the name of the shop. Also bought an RCBS Rock Chuck reloading kit which I also still use.This was in 1977. I used to eat a a place in Wakefield called Toody's. They made a steak & Cheese sub that was to die for. Don't know if you ever heard of that place or if they even still exist.

Good morning Imgone, I'm just curious as to where in Mass. I grew up in Wakefield just down the road from Camp Curtis Guild and the rifle range mentioned in Bruce Canfields book. My brother and I used to play "Army" at the old Nike missile site after they removed the missile's. I ended up joining the Army and retired here in Tennessee outside of Ft. Campbell, Ky. Nice thing about Tn is out in the county everybody makes their own backyard ranges, look at Hickcock45 or 22Plinkster for examples. They both live down the road road. To just pile it on a bit Midsouth Shooters Supply is about 25 miles away. No shipping, no hazmat fees as they offer local pickup. I would have to say that what I really miss about Ma. is the food. Down here they think a pizza is made at Pizza Hut and subs come from Subway.Go figure. Nice pictures at the range. I 'm glad you and your son can bond like that.It warms my heart. Tom.

Bolt number SN 0079 is also listed on ebay.

This item has been relisted and starting bid reduced to $87.00 + $4.53 S&H,or you can make an offer to seller. Once again it is magazine housing SN 7175 with the magazine cover. I hope somebody needs this magazine to help restore their JSAR to production log condition. Still a great buy at this price.

More if you don't have a C&R. The Magazine housing is SN 7175 according to the description. It would be a nice deal if somebody needed that Magazine housing number.

This is such a coincidence and great news as I dug up my April and May 1984 issues of The American Rifleman today.It took hours then I log in here to find out the July issue of The American rifleman has an article on my favorite rifle. I think I'll get a lottery ticket in the morning. These issues had a two part article titled "Melvin Johnson and his Rifle" written by Robert L. Lamoreaux and Melvin M. Johnson III. I must say that in rereading those past issues it is my opinion that The American Rifleman's quality of articles and writting has gone downhill over the years.

I'd like to thank Ed and Art for all there help in getting an account started and getting production log info regarding my JSAR Sn 6124. Ed and Art you fine gentleman are fantastic.Thank you for all your help. I have reposted the production log info on the left and what my rifle has on the right. I must say Art you were right about it being fun to look and hope.It was very exciting disassembling my JSAR and checking the numbers but my JSAR like yours Art only has the correct magazine. We (JSAR) still had a wonderful fathers day with plenty of quality time together.Plenty of rounds downrange. Received from Cranston Arms 2/23/1942 Currently Stock No. 2 2 Barrel No. 2437E 0188G Hammer Block No. 5117 9467 Hammer No. 9002 6342 Bolt No. 9527 9731 Locking Cam No. 4505 8483 Firing Pin No. A2216 K7239 Extractor No. 5454 5673 Magazine No. A1087 A1087 Transferred from Johnson Automatics to the Netherlands Purchasing Commission 2/24/1942. I purchased this rifle with bayonet down in Texas hill country along with an 1944 Ithaca M1911A1 in 2006.
