Custom Sporter?

[genog 0]

Hi All, new guy here

I recently acquired a Johnson with some interesting features.  

Scope and mount

No bayo lug on the barrel

Appears not to be a former M1 Garand barrel (no notches for hand guard clip)

Is this a Winfield Arms Custom Sporter?

Has two scope rings as opposed to three in the advertisement

I would love to learn more about this ole boy

 

I copied this Winfield Arms ad from this site:

By the way, does anyone have an original Rear Sight Assembly that they would like to sell?

Need more pictures, particularly the buttplate area, but looks like an original stock or a military style replacement with a replacement bbl missing the bayonet lug.  The scope mount is a Winfield type, but set up for Redfield type rings rather than Weaver allowing mounting of a 73B1 scope.  I have never seen this configuration on a Winfield.  Looks like a nice one for restoration as the metal looks good and the stock appears to be correct military configuration.  Addition of a rear sight and redoing the bbl with a bayonet lug would do it.  I have a rear sight as well as replacement bbl.  Email me @ brian.alpert@louisville.edu.

You could actually leave the scope on it and the appearance will be similar to the 1941 Johnson rifles we've seen in the hands of Cuban Freedom Fighters.
