    Andy, I had to go deep into the camera settings on my iPhone and change the resolution to a medium. That way the smaller data size helped me load my photos. I also found if I screen shot the original photos, I would then edit and those always worked for posting photos. 
    I know iPhone features and options have changed since then, but look into it.

    If the buffer is present at all, and they often are not. 

    Not throwing rocks at any particular greenhouse, but these rifles are often shot out, worn out, incomplete, heavily modified and refinished. It's all lipstick on a pig. Still, they sell for big money. No wonder the rifle's design gets a bum rap, when condition is the real problem.

    Nice original examples are rare indeed. I lucked into a B series JSAR in in original almost perfect condition, with a mirror bore. It's perfectly accurate and completely reliable. It has none of the violent action of the worn-out guns. It's a very different beast from what is usually offered for sale.  

    I believe TSMMGUY may be mistaken about the buffer.  If the buffer is quite commonly missing as it was mentioned, that means that there will be several non functioning JSAR’s with several owners searching for the buffers.  I’ve attached a picture of the part #65 “mainspring tube cap buffer assembly” with the #32 “mainspring follower”, both parts are crucial to the rifle’s function.  Also shown is the tube cap and buffer disassembled for clarity.

    Yes, I might buy it later this week. Will make a call to Jesse to talk about detail. Besides the scale of recoil tube drilling, is there any other places is crucial to a good repro stock

    Kind of a crude picture edit, but I learned early on from Joseph Scott that you want to make sure that there is 8” from center of screw to center of screw. You will find sporters that measure 7-7/8” or less.  It affects the recoil impact on the buffer if it’s not right.

    As far as these rifles go I know absolutely nothing, Is there anyone out there who can help me identify this rifle? Where do I start? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Andrew 

    Hi Andrew, Well you came to the right place to start your research into your M1941, just like all the other new owners and members of the M1941 before you.

      Art beat me to idea of posting pictures. This would really be the best way to show us what you have and then the experienced members here can help identify exactly what you have.  Give us a try!

    Thank you ArtR, that what I think as well. It is a dealer assembled johnson automatic. I have contacted with Murray's gunstock about potential JSAR stock production. It will be a interesting journey to restore it.

    I remember some people having issues with Murray.  I would advise doing some search’s for Murry or Murray’s stocks just to read up on what you might encounter.

    I noticed the stampings as well, but the proxibid pics aren't clear enough that I can discern what they say.  I agree with M48TANKER, the parkerizing may be post war - it could just be the quality of the photos and lighting, but it looks very similar in color to my A prefix rifle that Rarecat once owned.  He and I both agree that mine was reparked.  Of course, having the rifle in your hands will tell all.  It sure is nice looking.  

    I kind of think that 1890 has been reparked as well.  I looked at the others on Proxy bid and saw one that looked correct, but missing some parts and I think the stock was cracked.

    My biggest concern about 1890 is it looks like it has some extra stampings on the opposite side from the Cranston arms.  The rear sight had been removed, why and was it installed correctly.   Also the wood to metal fit looks fair to good, but at the tail end the picture cuts it off and quite see if it’s proper.  (See pictures)

    I believe Joseph Scott mentioned a few years ago that the ring is crimped into place and will crimp around some indentations machined into the firing pin.   And if it loose and slides back and forth, you will likely experience slam fires like I did with mine.
