*SCARCE JOHNSON MODEL 1941 SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE WITH BAYONET.

*SCARCE JOHNSON MODEL 1941 SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE WITH BAYONET. SN 7806. Cal. 30-06. Usual Johnson configuration with 22″ tapered rnd bbl, standard military winged front sight and orig Johnson 1,000 meter rear sight. Top of receiver has the usual Johnson markings with the small “Cranston Arms Co.” triangle on right rear of receiver, overstamped with a small 5-pointed star indicating Dutch contract purchase. Bbl & stock are probably replacements as provided by a Canadian firm who purchased several thousand surplus Johnson rifles in the early 1950s, refurbished them and sold them as sporting rifles. While the bbl has the orig military front sight, the protruding part of the muzzle is not sufficiently long to support the bayonet and it never had a bayonet lug installed. The buttstock has a commercial sling swivel installed instead of the usual military sling loop indicating that this is a commercial replacement stock. Accompanied by a British military canvas sling. Also accompanied by a reproduction Johnson bayonet with leather scabbard and an orig bayonet lug with mounting pins. Additionally accompanied by a book Johnson’s Rifles and Machine Guns, Canfield. PROVENANCE: Dr. Leonard Goldfarb Collection CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Metal retains most of its custom parkerized finish. Bolt is mismatched and left rear side of receiver has two plugged holes, apparently for a receiver sight. Wood is sound and retains most of its fine custom finish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. Bayonet & book are new. 4-41199 JWK35 (3,000-5,000)
