Description:
(SALE! Price reduced!) The M1941 rifle used the energy from recoil to cycle the rifle. As the bullet and propellant gases move down the barrel, they impart force on the bolt head which is locked to the barrel. The barrel, together with the bolt, moves a short distance rearward until the bullet leaves the barrel and pressure in the bore drops to safe levels. The barrel then stops against a shoulder allowing the bolt carrier to continue rearward under the momentum imparted by the initial recoil stage. The rotating bolt, with eight locking lugs, would then unlock from the chamber as cam arrangement rotates and unlocks the bolt to continue the operating cycle.[1] The Johnson rifle utilized a two-piece stock and a unique 10-round rotary magazine, designed to use the same 5-round stripper clips already in use by the M1903 Rifle.
It was designed by Melvin Johnson, a Marine, and it was used by Marines in the Pacific. Many of who preferred the design over the M1 Garand. To give a number on production, there was well over 6 million M1 Garands were made. The original order was for 70,000 M1941s, but in the end there were approximately 21,400 M1941s produced. Many of which served in the Pacific during WWII, even the invasion of Iwo Jima.(Sold)
Winfield was a big sporterizer of the Johnson in the early mid 50's when the remaining rifles after WWII got surplused, a .270 and 7mm sporter model was also available, as was a scoped model. This rifle has the 6 groove aftermarket Johnson manufactured barrel installed. Any questions please call: 479-253-9471
