This is an example of a beautifully restored, desirable Model 1941 Johnson semi-automatic rifle as used during WWII. After the attack on Pearl Harbor the USMC acquired many of these rifles as a war expedient measure from the Netherlands Purchasing Commission and later used them in the early Japanese island hopping campaigns. They were eventually replaced by the Army-adopted M1 Garand rifle. They had several unique features: 1) They had a quickly removable barrel which was useful for Marine Paratroopers and Marine Raiders. 2) They had a 10 shot rotary magazine which could be quickly loaded with the five round stripper clips or single rounds in between battles to top off the magazine, unlike the M1 where you had to eject the entire clip and reload a new clip. The top of the receiver is marked with the four line, Johnson Automatics model markings, caliber and company address over the serial number "B3582". The barrel is marked "30-06/41" on the front of the barrel support. The bolt is stamped with the number "C3435". The right side of the rear sight is stamped "METERS" with "M2" stamped on the left side. It is fitted with a two-piece smooth walnut stock with a checkered steel buttplate, and a brown leather claw type sling. Includes an unmarked parkerized bayonet with leather sheath and instruction manual.

Very fine as partially refurbished (wood). The barrel and metal parts have 90% plus of the gray/green parkerized finish. Displaying small areas of edge wear, some surface scratches, and general handling marks. The wood is fine as lightly sanded and oiled for an accurate dark finish. Displaying some light handling marks only. Mechanically excellent.
