Description:
Description: This unaltered M1941 Johnson Rifle is an American made short-recoil operated semi-automatic rifle designed prior to World War II. The 1941 Johnson was used by the US Marines during WWII including Iwo Jima and the 1st Parachute Battalion during the Guadalanal campaign.
One of only 20,000 produced!
The M1941 competed with the Springfield with its U.S. M1 Garand Rifle for becoming the main battle rifle for the US military with about 22,000 produced compared with over 5 million M1 Garands.
Condition: This rifle is in excellent condition. Barrel is excellent with bore shiny throughout and great riflings. Bore calipers 0.00 with standard .30 caliber bore gauge showing very little use. Completely functional and shootable. Chip and non structural small crack on wood behind left handgrip. Small circular repair area in lower center of right side stock cheek area. Metal work is good with no imperfections and free of corrosion. Pachmeyer butt pad is on the rifle. It comes with an original Johnson butt plate that may be fitted on the rifle.
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.
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 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.
