Money invested in a Johnson will never likely deflate. Wish it had been that way when I sold my last one. I got $1500 for a Johnson, M1 carbine and an M1 Thompson in semi only(Canadian prohib), all were in cherry shape. That was about 1992...of course the deal included all ancillary equipment, mages, bayonets, including an original Johnson with scabbard...slings...cleaning equipment...
So, when you go shooting, we'll want to see or get a bit of a report...watch your brass, mine pitched it to the moon...
