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.

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!

Thank you Brian! I’m glad my pictures were adequate. I’ll send a couple more once assembled.

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.

Sadly, no matching numbers. It’s a beautiful rifle nonetheless. Thank you again for the research Brian!

I can’t thank you enough Brian! I will take a close look and let you know if anything matches.
