Serial number request #3188 Pretty Please

7 posts in this topic

Hi, I am new to the forum and new to 1941 Johnsons.  My name is Jeff and have been collecting WW2 militaria for many years.  My focus is on Garands, but collect all US arms used in WW2.  Looking forward to learning what I can here.  Thanks.

 

I just purchased serial number 3188.  The front sight pins look long, so they may have been replaced.  The butt stock does not have lightening holes, so I assume it is an old repro.  The rest of the rifle looks good.  ME is 1.8 and the bore is in nice condition.

 

I would appreciate any info that may be available for the serial number.  Thanks very much.

 

Jeff
