Wes

New owner with serial number question

6 posts in this topic

Hello.  I am pretty well versed in US milsurps, but this is my first 41 Johnson.   I have a couple of questions.

1.  My serial number is 6983 and I would like to know if there is info on it?

2.  My stock is cracked and somewhat poorly repaired.  Are originals available from time to time?  I spoke to the gentleman who used to make good repros but he said he is no longer making them.

Thanks and glad to be here.

Here is the data on JSAR #6983

Received from Cranston Arms  3/11/42

Stock #2

Bbl #8389E

Hammer block #9270

Hammer #0009A

Bolt #A0800

Locking Cam #9337

Firing Pin #A8077

Extractor #6285

Magazine #9150

Transferred to NPC 3/14/42

Bear in mind that finding a JSAR with correct numbers, other than the Chilean contract arms, is most unusual.

Thanks Brian.  When they were transferred and presumably put into storage, where were they stored?  In the US?

 

Thanks

Apparently somewhere in the US in bonded warehouses.
