Hey All,
I have an Eddystone with a JA barrel. It shoots pretty good considering, but a friend was there with me knew what to look for and didn't say anything about the JA. I took this rifle for the stock over other ones with the E barrel. Was wondering if anyone knew who might have a E barrel. Been looking high and low but only find repro's. E Bay had them and Liberty Tree has them from time time...anywhere else I can find them?
JA is for Johnson Automatic.
Replaced during arsenal refurb after WWII.
They’re generally regarded as good barrels and can be worth $150 alone.
Personally, I’d leave it. It’s a symbol of the history of that rifle. Trying to make all the parts match would ruin that history.
I'm well aware what barrel it is.... and I know it's a replacement barrel.
replacement was during WW2Quote:

barrel is worn.
Exactly. The rifle was all matching once in its life, any work to 'restore' it back to how it came from the factory is ignoring the actual history of the firearm.Quote:

So what is being looked for: a replacement JA barrel or trying to find a good original, which may be impossible as we are about 100 years since installation.
I asked for a place to find a used maybe NOS barrel not what you think I should do.... so be a man and accept it.
I've written about 10 replies to this all would see me in the corner after the Mods got hold of them, soooo I think the best thing is to follow the forum rules even in the face of now what would PL say Ah yes.........................!
Besides I only suggested "Try G I" it was up to you if you did and no one is telling you to do anything .................................................. ..........................besides your waiting on this thread as I type for the reply well its here. Good Luck.
