Fake with probable Northern California pedigree.  Markings are like the one pictured but with correct rear sight and BAR type bipod.  I have one from the same "maker" with a Mexican crest.

I agree 100% with Brian. It's bogus. Actually the entire premise that the "semiautomatic Light Machine Gun" is a legitimate Johnson Automatics, Inc. "experimental" product is laughable.  What would be the point of Johnson making a semiautomatic-only weapon of this type? If one desires to fire a Johnson LMG in the semiautomatic mode, a simple flick of the fire selector lever is all is required!
