Johnson automatic rifle.

Haven't pulled my Johnson out for awhile (hehe.) Guess it's time to dig around the safe and go talk to her for a bit.

Wait your Johnson is a girl?

Here is some pretty good footage of the Johnson LMG in use.

It's a light-weight fully-automatic .30-06, but, still you get someone who says, "...it kicks..." ?

That looks like it would be a ton of fun to shoot. I doubt I'll ever even get to hold one, let alone shoot one. They are a bit out of my price range, unless I win the lottery or something.

I actually found a nice Johnson M41 rifle on GB a few mos back. Watched it. Even my bro was going to front me some money to buy it. Sadly it went out of my 4K budget, lol

That auto-rifle is very cool. Saw a writeup about it somewhere... maybe the last Milsurp Magazine...

We're talking about guns - right???

There was actually a third variant of the Johnson design. The LMG, the rifle AND a carbine. Recent article mentioned earlier is regarding the carbine and I believe it was in the Mil Surp magazine. Not very many of those made.

I have an unmolested, A series, 1941 Johnson. Great condition, original finish, and DAMN does it shoot HORRIBLY. Its without question my most inaccurate rifle. I shot it at last months Modesto Rifle Club vintage military match and pulled out after the first two strings....I was just wasting ammo.

Sounds like you should trade it to me for a Garand or an AR or something.

Here is my semi-auto Johnson LMG again - never fired it because I am afraid if it breaks, I will never be able to get it fixed.

Absolutely spectacular Roger -

Really, nice.

I had no idea they made the LMG in semi-only -

Well done.

Your post has made my afternoon - I'm nuts, I know!

Thanks for posting -

An errant thread, that manages to attract five sophomoric Beavis comments get's one great Butthead post.
