    Johnson

    They all came from the Dutch. The Pay of Pigs force that invaded Cuba was armed with them courtesy of the CIA and Sam Cummins.
    I think Bruce Canfield wrote the definitive work on them, he said the parts numbers never matched, they were separate serial series.
    Melvin Johnson was the best salesman for the rifle... evidently he was an extraordinary shot, used to demonstrate the rifle by throwing a tin can in the air and keeping it up with the whole magazine.
    Real men measure once and cut.
