Someday, maybe, we’ll find an original barrel. Disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling was easier than I thought. I enjoyed it too! I’m glad the family kept it.
Interesting. I guess we should be very happy many were reassembled correctly! I am curious about the barrel. It has no serial number and no bayonet lug...clearly a replacement and the only part on the list without a number.
Greetings to all from a new member! I have read your posts for a long time...thank you for the information and entertainment. My family has had a Johnson for a long time and I am hoping to get some history on it if any is available. I’m happy to report that serial number 8796 is cleaned, sighted and ready for service if called upon! Oorah!
