"US JOHNSON MODEL 1941 SEMI-AUTOMATIC USMC RIFLE. SN 4529. Cal. 7mm Mauser (7x57) Standard 22 1/2". Capt. Melvin Johnson USMC invented this rifle. They competed with the Garand to be the standard military rifle but subsequently lost due primarily to their 10 round rotary magazine and inferior bayonet. The Marine Corps purchased the Johnson in limited quantities to be used until there were enough M1 Garands in circulation. Subsequently they went to the Seabees. Rifle is equipped with a bayonet and a foreign made scabbard and sling. Possible re-import with a Navy Arms roll die on the bottom of the bbl. Accompanied by manual. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Overall metal is better than 95% of a nice pleasing dark green parkerizing with minor loss on the mag and mag door. The wood is in very good plus condition with very light handling marks throughout. This rifle would be a nice addition to any military collection. Bayonet retains 98% of its orig parkerizing. Gun is mechanically crisp and bore is bright and shiny. 4-33944 BK18 (4,500-6,500)"
