1941 Johnson disassembly

Hi folks,

I have some minor rust on the interior mag assembly of my 1941 Johnson. I want to take the mag cover off to get at it and from past experience know that it would be infinitely easier to re-insert the mag cover if the fore-end wood were removed (at least with the insertion method I use). Therefore I am seeking advice on removal of the wooden fore-end. Do I just remove the four screws and pull it off, or is there some disastorous, spring loaded complication or mind bending maze hidden there just waiting to give me grief:ugh:??

Nope, it's easy. The mag itself is more of a challenge.

Thanks Jmoore.

I suggest you buy the excellent reference book by Canfield. He answers e-mail also.

I acquired this Johnson rifle recently and saved it from the scrap yard. I cherish and respect it .

I followed the steps and this is what i got as a result.

It is a rather complicated process. Take you time.Be patient.

If you have any more difficulty give me a shout i will try to help but be patient as i am unfamiliar with this most precious history piece.

Best of luck.;)

Regards.

Major Bob
