Anyone have an idea of an unmodified Johnson barrel is going for these days? Thanks in advance.

They're very hard to find. If you need a shooter barrel, why not have one machined up and keep the old one for the occasion you may sell it? We did a couple of barrels from 1903 barrels and they turned out about perfect. Even if you look on gunbroker, you'll only find a few parts right now.

I have 3 originals and was wondering what they are worth. Coming up on the end of the year and getting ready to adjust insurance coverage.

I'd think you can about name your price then. The guns are anywhere from $3-$5000+US if you look. Most barrels I've seen are less than stellar. And I've never seen matching numbers. Or is it just for insurance value? Replacement value?

For the 1941 Johnson, the hardware attached to the barrel is worth as much as the barrel. Locking bushing $30, front bushing $50, bayonet lug $40 and front sight $75, barrel 164.60. These are the Numrich/Sarco prices and they are out of locking bushings and barrel assy. I have seen higher prices on Gunbroker and ebay like $200 for the sight and $100 for bayonet lug, but I see the items up for sale over and over. Numrich shows $164.60 for a barrel assy, but no picture and none in stock. SEMI AUTO 1941 Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts I suspect assy means barrel and rear locking bushing, but no photo to tell. I also suspect that was the last price they charged, but no telling when that was. If you are interested in selling, let me know.

Then that tells the story. First off, I'd be surprised if Numrich barrels were anything more than just fit to shoot. Likely no rifling at all inside and lacking finish. Second, they don't have any so your argument has no ground.

Of course you're willing to buy his parts at the price you mentioned, if the guns are worth $3000 to $5000 US...how would a major part only be worth beer money...? You aren't fooling anyone...we know you.

Cheap shot. I gave the real market price for the parts on the barrel and identified which ones were not in stock. I alsl said the last listed price of $164 at Numrich has probably gone up. I never said what I was offering to pay.
Maybe you should try actually reading what was written?

Clinocio, don't read more into Jim's post than what is there. Jim is a very knowledgeable member of the site and comes by his seemingly brisk replies by good reason. Jim actually came over on the Arc I think. Only kidding Jim. Okay, carry on
