Thank you Brian for that incredibly quick response!!

***Very interesting to learn that exactly 76 years ago today this weapon was transferred to the NPC***

The bolt #7069 and locking cam #6338 are the only numbers I can confirm as a matching to this rifle so far, I will have to further disassemble to check some of the other part numbers.

I recently acquired this rifle from the family of Fred Wells the rifle maker here in Prescott, AZ.  Fred's brother Homer ended up with this rifle after WWII

I was told that Homer had a few M1941's and this one was the best shooter so he sold the rest.

Ryche, good to hear from another JSAR owner......I am available to meet before the show if you are able......I work for a custom home builder in Prescott so I am on the road most of the day.  You can email me at tomgraham01@msn.com and we can arrange it.

Also strongly suggest you obtain Bruce Canfield's "Johnson Rifles and Machine Guns" to go with your rifle....and it will give you a thorough history.
