Johnson rifles are awesome. When I was a kid they were dime a dozen. I remember seeing them for $250 at the Great Western gun show. My dad was regular army and wouldn't have one because they were "Marine rifles". By the time I was old enough to have a job and buy my own they had thinned out plus I had discovered beer and girls. Now you can't touch these things for less than $5k.

I've often wondered how the '41 would have performed if it had been subject to the long product improvement cycle of the Garand.
It's a long process to properly clean a Garand. With the M1941, you simply remove the barrel and clean it from the breech end, nearly impossible to do with a Garand.
The M1941 was never a serious contender for US adoption, although it was used in small numbers by the Marine Corps as a stopgap automatic rifle pending the arrival of large numbers of Garands.

shorter more compact then guarnad but issues here are reload the maginze reminds me of the Kraig jorggans and some the rmy old guard if they were old enough ti remeber it probably saw that in this beauty and were scared of the kraig issue playing out again even with strippers

Saw one of these for sale at a gun shop for $6,000. I wish I had $6,000.

So how do I borrow this rifle to shoot it at Camp Perry during the Vintage and Garand match? I'm serious.

I have fired both and would prefer the 1941 johnson any day of the week. IMHO.
