Me and my Johnson about 25 years ago. I bought it for $425.00 Rick B

Johnson rifles had a poor butt stock. Two small screws holding it on and if you fell on the rifle wrong you would break the butt stock off disabling the rifle completely. Accurate rifle but poor...
Thanks for trying. You can leave it as the lower screw is centered making it a Springfield. If it was shifted to the left it would be a Winchester. No need to take it off. Thanks for the pics. Rick B
Thanks Mike and if you pull the butt plate I would like to know if the lower screw hole is equal size to upper or large. Also if it is a 2S butt plate. They showed up later but just incase. Thanks,,...
Can you tell me if the stock is a long channel or short? Thanks,,Rick B
Try this way. Rick B

My fault,
I had a senile moment lol. 115,000 was around the range WB came into play. That is where my mind mangle happened. You are correct on it being a No Trap. The WB Trap door came into play...
That rifle looks all correct and like a Lend lease. They also tried to put small crowns all over so look for those. The stock should also be a hinged butt plate and not a No Trap nor modified. I...
I have seen quite a few No Trap stocks that were modified and had a later rebuild SPG stamp on them. It would seem they had Mr Gibbs when he came back in charge of the Gas Trap rifles being...
Bob That was my rifle some years ago and my leg in that picture. Here is a pic of the paper work that came with it from Rock Island and the pick up order from DCP in Port Clinton when ready.. Rick B...
Springfield absolutely stained stocks. I get so tired of people saying they never stained. I have handled 10's of thousands of stocks and can tell you they stained them. Also all the Barn wood stocks...
I disagree and have found the small Grip cannons come in pretty close to the flat clip latch use. I have found that to be closer to 1,200,000. As to the original question yes I have seen these used...
Nope, Gas Port from what I see. Rick B

Rock, What Bob is saying is the shooter can hear it and be alerted that his rifle is empty. He is not talking about the false story always told about G.I.'s tossing clips so the enemy would jump up...
Yes the stock is 100% fake stamped. Rick B
Both are faked markings. Rick B
Markings are faked. The double stamp is from the fake stamp and not a real one under it. The M for starters is to short in the middle. The cannons are so bad that I wont even comment since nothing is...
I still have a can of it but can bet the formula has changed since 1942. I prefer the brown as it doesn't show like the yellow or pale stuff does. Rick B
...
Yes, just a Rebuild with a separate H in the middle. The GHS stamp ground down leaving the H will have a smaller H in the middle like one below. Rick B

Absolutely 100% fake. 1st sign is large A with skinny P&G Rick B
