Hey Rack Grade , my name is Robert what is yours ? Up here in Canada we also appreciate the Johnson . As a matter of fact i am also a fan. I visited with the nice museum at the Crossroads in Virginia this summer and saw one there very well displayed. Kind of like mine except i have spare barrels and one of them is in .270 Win . Nice for deer season in november . O' Canada ...

Hal from NJ here!

You are a fortunate man to have extra barrels - scarce as hens teeth here. But then, sadly, so is hunting....too densely populated in NJ.

I am blessed to have two Johnsons in full military configuration, one MilTech restoration and two Winfield Johnsons with sporter stocks. Looking for a couple of original military front sights if you know any sources, and I was just in touch with a guy who is going to manufacture a run of walnut stocks for 1941 Johnsons - a thing needed around here since so many of the original stocks are now cracked at the wrist. Hope yours is in tact.

I see the 41 Johnsons occasionally at gunshows and at local museums. Many owners do not realize they need to pin the rotary magazine to the Canadian requirement of 5 rounds. They are not exempt.

I passed up a refinished Johnson with a pitted bore for over two bills a few years ago. It would fit the collection, but not that quality for that price. I don't think any Johnsons have acceptable bores.

I'd be interested in serial numbers, I know where 1463 and 2899 are.

Ladies and Gents:

Randal Murray at http://murraysgunstocks.com is the guy who will be producing stocks for 1941 Johnsons. He emailed me yesterday that he will be doing these around the turn of the year.

If you want a set, email him and he will let you know when he has timing and pricing.

I don't think anyone remembered the Johnson when they were writing the Regulations <Part 4 of http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-98-462/FullText.html>. The only other rotary magazine rifles most people think of are Savage 99s. The Garand, Lee Enfield and a scant few others (like the artillery Lugers) are exempted by name.

Oh, it gets worse. Bizzaro worse. The mag limits in Canada (save those scant exemptions) are 5 rounds for a long guns. That would, to any reasonable person, mean that if a mag was mean to fit a 7.62 rifle and the mag held five 7.62 rounds you would be legal. So far so good. But, if you poured little bitty .22 rounds into a five round 7.62 mag you could perhaps fit 20-30 of them in like grains of rice. True, the firearm in question is a 7.62 and could do nothing with .22 LR rounds. But, in that exact moment you would be a criminal because you would be in possession of a prohibited 'high capacity' magazine with over 5 rounds in it. Jail time.

Here in Canada our new baby prime minister just gave the police free reign to make decisions like this...and they are.
