![]() The Johnson rifle - and light machine guns - were specifically designed to have 100% interchangeable parts, I believe one of the first firearms to be designed from this standpoint. They just weren't produced this way - the parts were numbered at the insistence of the Netherlands Purchasing Commission (I can't document this, but that is the prevalent theory). I've seen the production log for the "no-letter-prefix" serial numbered receivers and there is NO example of any rifle being produced with parts bearing numbers that match the receiver. There was a fellow selling "rare" Johnson M1941 rifles a number of years ago: usually "matching serial number" (the numbered parts matched the receiver s/n - just ain't so!) or with Queen Wilhelmina crests on the receiver (again - faked).
