    Probably more appropriate to clear a pillbox from a beach somehere in the pacific. That said, this one looks too nice to have been used anywhere. One of the nicest I've seen, Gleam - and with a bayo too! Thanks for sharing!

      Yep; and the bore seems to agree with that statement; shiny with sharp rifling.

        No joke, I took the M1941 a few lines down for another shooter to try, then went back to my own rifle. After awhile, I went to pack up and came to realize I had an empty case. So the RO asked the entire line,
        "Has anyone seen penguin's Johnson?"

          Nice rifle!


          Thread reminds me of the old joke: three nazis walk into a BAR.

                Nice looking Johnson! Is this a recent acquisition?

                  Sweet Johnson rifle there.

                  Like the war era match ammo too.

                  I can't help but wonder what a sniper model would have looked like, if it had been widely adopted.

                    I'm jealous of your Johnson!

                      Beautiful rifle, but the thread title made me think...

                        Just make sure that your Johnson doesn't touch anothers, and certainly no eye contact if it were to occur.

                        Beautiful Johnson by the way!

                            You've probably been told this before, but, you've really got a good looking Johnson.
