Description:
Description: The M1941 Johnson Rifle is an American short-recoil operated semi-automatic rifle designed prior to World War II. The 1941 Johnson was used by the Marines during WWII including Iwo Jima and the 1st Parachute Battalion during the Guadalanal campaign. SN B 6382.
The M1941 competed with the Springfield with its U.S. M1 Garand Rifle for becoming the main battle rifle for the US military.
Condition: This rifle is in very good condition. Barrel is excellent with bore shiny throughout and great riflings. Completely functional with cosmetic wear and a few handling dings. Chip on wood behind rear sight. Metal work is good with no imerfections and free of corrosion.
The M1941 rifle uses 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 Johnson rifle utilizes 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 and 1903A3 Rifle. Also uses 10 round stripper clips or single cartridge loading.
This system has advantages in comparison to the M1 Garand rifle, such as a greater magazine capacity combined with the ability to recharge the magazine with ammunition (using 5-round clips or individually) at any time, even with the bolt closed on a chambered round.
Finally; that the Johnson rifle did not—unlike the M1 Garand Rifle—eject an en bloc clip upon firing the last round in the magazine with its tell-tale ping, was considered an advantage by some soldiers. Despite repeated requests by the Marine Corps to adopt the rifle, the Johnson rifle lacked the support of US Army Ordnance, which had already invested considerable sums in the development of the M1 Garand. The Army Garand study budget was over ran by over $1 million. The Garand cost overage was buried in the costs of the full production order.
