Pulled Out My Johnson

December 20, 2018, 11:10 PM

Pride of my surplus collection. Dutch contract B code rifle. One day I'll swap out the Mauser sling

Any of its siblings around here?

Damn. I was hoping to see a pic of your Johnson as soon as I saw the thread title.

Sir, your Johnson does not disappoint.

Are you sure it’s a Peru gun? The only 7mm’s I know of that were made were for Chile. Still a 1000 made in that case. If it’s all there and not sporterized I would think it’s worth every bit of 4K. The last 30-06 models I’ve seen sell went for 7-9k at Rock Island. Seems the 7mm would be an even more rare bird. I like the 7mm cartridge. Might be worth it to post in the Johnson forum or the CMP forum. I’m far from an expert

For time to time, I think I have a nice collection of guns. Then something like this is posted. The Korean vets were cool too.

Does a Reising 50 count as a sibling?

Nice looking rifle.

I have no idea why someone would or could turn that into this "custom": https://www.gunbroker.com/item/794135216
