JOHNSON M-1941, WW2 Rifle, .30-06, Excellent, Unusual & Rare, SN: B4565

Description:
            Johnson M-1941 rifles were manufactured by the Cranston Arms Co. in Cranston R.I.  Approximately 20,000 were made, chambered in .30-06, under Dutch contract and Approx. 1,000 were made in 7mm under Chilian contract. Of this total only 750 were procured by the USMC. This rifle advertised is not a USMC rifle, it is one of the .30-06 rifles. Certainly, a rare and collectable rifle.
          This rifle is in excellent condition, fully functional with an excellent bore. The muzzle measures only 1.0, using a Garand Muzzle Wear gage. The barrel is correctly marked “.30-06” and “41” as shown in the pictures. Most unusual is the barrel length, the barrels were 22 inches long but this barrel measures only 20 inches. It is also missing the bayonet mounting lug. It’s possible that the barrel was shortened 2 inches and the sight moved back to cover the bayonet lug scar. In Canfields’ book early barrels are shown without a bayonet lug but no length is specified.
          Located on the right rear of the receiver is the Cranston Arms Logo, surrounded by a triangle. The Dutch Star acceptance mark can be seen.
          The part numbers on the various rifle parts (Correctly) do not match. This makes German military arms collectors cringe, but that is the way Cranston did it. Since the parts were meant to be interchangeable, why bother?
The rifle is in excellent original finish and shows minimal wear. The serial number has been stamped after finish, clearly confirming originality of finish. The stock is in excellent condition, lightly sanded, with only one filled ding on the right side of the butt. A previous owner has installed a brass plate on the stock with the initials “HGC”. Perhaps some military identification plate but unlikely. The forearm is in matching condition, they have been together for 80 years.
Note that it has no recoil pad, it has not been varnished, and it has no U.S. Ordnance marks applied. It remains mostly the way Cranston built it with minimal natural storage wear found in a well-cared for collectable.
          This is a rare opportunity to add an M-1941 Johnson rifle for your collection, they have proven to be a great investment and will continue to be so.
