Well, not having the time or patience to see the restoration thru to where it needed to go, I re-homed the 1941 to a person on this website...

I've gone down that road with a Springfield 1903 MkI, and a M1C Garand... they were labors of love and turned out great, but were black holes financially...

Thanks for the information. The rifle is on it's way to Denver... going to show it to Chuck, a military gun guy that has alot of parts & pieces. We typically play with 1903's and Garands, but he thought he might be able to help. If not, I will most likely let it go. I'll post better pics when I get to Denver (actually the Colorado Gun Collectors show in Greeley) next week. Thanks again....Ben

Picked up this Winfield Sporter Johnson last month (along with several other fun items)... I've never owned a Johnson and have always found them interesting. Looking for "reasonable" input regarding having it "restored" or sell it outright in it's present condition. From what I've found, it should bring $3500-$4000 as it is. Am I off base here? If I drop the money and have it restored... it's still "restored". Will it be worth more than the base of $3500 plus the cost to restore? This is an entirely new game for me so I'm trying to figure out my best option. BTW the serial number is 8909 (no letter), I tried to post more pics but couldn't. Thanks in advance... Ben
