    Interesting milsurp guns with interesting history, ie.Johnson
  1. I would call that highly efficient!
  2. Coming from one who has spent 6 decades growing up in the middle of maple country (Maine), I found this informative and quite amazing as to the level that you and your family have brought this to.
  3. Welcome to the site. Looks nice, its a non prefix, so when you get a chance disassemble and post part numbers, there are a few members that can tell you how many and which ones are original to the gun, always fun to learn. Phil
  4. That is quite a family history, I am certain I could smell the photo of the steam coming off the evaporator. Sweet story.
  5. Hope the weather cooperates with you, like many over here in the “almost as sweet” state of Maine , so much rides on the weather.
  6. https://www.amoskeagauction.com/auction-no-141/ try this , its just a list of highlights , also some very interesting Garands if your into that kind of thing.
  7. Nice looking jsar coming in Amoskeag, said to be a presentation to Johnson associate Thomas E Mcabe? No sn yet
  8. I agree Art, to be top value I would want more info, I will ask, can’t hurt. Too bad if all its life history was scrubbed with a rebuild. Phil
  9. S-10 went a little to high for me 20 plus fees, I wonder what one of the 24 USMC will bring? https://cwocauctions.proxibid.com/USMC-Para-Marine-Shipped-M-1941-Johnson-Semi-Automatic-Rifle-by-Cranston-Arms/lotInformation/82456365
  10. Hi Phil,

       I may be very interested in your Johnson Semi LMG. I have been 'on the search' for quite some time, I now have a lot of the needed parts, but am still lacking a few and I would like to know what you may be asking for your firearm?

       Thank you.

       Best regards,

       Larry

  11. I have one I may sell. Phil
  12. I had always thought “early” stocks were solid also , along with early receivers using a backward c for the o, however s-10 coming up at auction has neither, so am I correct in thinking the shop samples were among the first built or?….
  13. If collar slides you may have that full auto you always wanted.
  14. My first jsar was I believe a miltech, It was too nice , perfect stock, non original bbl, even dark finish over all surfaces including mag. Hard to definitively tell from photos but this one maybe refinished in areas but in my limited opinion not a miltech.
  15. Good idea, Money is a universal motivator. 💵
