Does anything on this 41 Johnson strike you as being wrong?

It looks like its all there, what did Bubba do?

According to what I read in my copy of Numrich Gun parts catalog #24
Only six civilian sporters were sold in the USA by 1939 that had featured sporter stocks.
In 1940 the Dutch Govt purchased huge quantites of the Johnson Model 1941 (its called Model 1941 even back in 1940), the order being diverted to the Dutch East Indies when Holland fell to the Germans.
In 1940 The Dutch furnished the steel for the barrels and shipped to Johnson in the USA, U.S. customs's duty had been paid on the steel, a draw back on the duty could be claimed, but under the war time conditions and confusion, this drawback was postphoned, after the war a interesting situation of a virtually defunct company that had a sizeable asset in a duty drawback claim on steel imported in 1940.
Some time in the 1950's 16k were sold by the Dutch Govt to a Canadian arms firm that refurbed them and sold them as sporters.

I am not familiar enough with the Johnson to tell if anything is amiss. Capt'n, please educate us......

I'd love to have an original. Is this a reconfigured sporter or what?

[MosinRuger]

I know little about them but it looks alright to me, possibly too nice maybe?

This is not in a sporter stock.
Johnson Automatic Rifles were not blued. Parkerization is the normal finnish. Or actually a Phosphate finnish. Looking a lot like the finnish on the bayo shown.
You can actually see the polishing marks under the blueing on this rifle.
Although the magizine can be blued or left in the white the mag on this rifle is pristine. Did this example come from a Museum?
The finnish looks to me like it is polyurathane. Or at the very least Tru Oil. It certainly doesnt look like hand applied BLO.
The blueing is not original no matter what.
In order for this rifle to be in this condition it would have to have been unissued. In my opinion this rifle was reblued and restocked.

Its a Collector Grade military Johnson, so yea paying $6k is about right for a collecter grade Johnson, my guess if you actually found one the few pre-war sporters the price could easily tripple.
