1941 Johnson Barrel on GB

Great looking original barrel over on GB. The bidding is starting to get into the silly category but, to be expected. To much for my wallet.

I saw that. It looks like a nice barrel. Sort of makes me want to sell my extras, but then what would I do if I ever need another nice barrel?

Auction results= $1810.00 plus $18.00 shipping.

Hmmm.......I suppose that sets a new record for a barrel?

With prices like that, some may start "parting out" their JSARs like they do with high end Garands.  Hate to think what a real nice original stock would bring.

When i purchased my Johnson Rifle it came with parts and barrels the gentleman had purchased at Gun Parts many years ago the bayonet had a price tag of $8.25 on it WOW prices have gone up..

I am afraid that what you say may be correct. My fear is that some very nice guns may just end up on the auction chopping block as parts....what a shame!

All you need is one bore obstruction...

A spare barrel is always a good idea --learned the hard way.
