I've got a rifle I'd like to learn a lilttle more about. It's a 1903 MK I action rebarrelled and chambered for 22 Hornet, single-shot only. The barrel is marked "Johnson Automatics 22 Hornet", 24" and has a curved taper. No front sight, but it does have a base for a Lyman receiver sight. It is stocked in an M1922 stock, and is checkered in a point pattern on the fore-end below the finger-grooves, has a nickle-silver? diamond inlaid in the middle of that. The pistol grip is checkered in a point pattern wrapping over the top of the grip. It has an old Mershon Co Skeet Style ventilated recoil pad along with a plexiglass spacer. The bolt handle has been altered to clear a scope and it's got a low swing Buhler type safety. The whole thing just looks like something from the 40's or 50's.
Did Johnson Automatics make rifles that weren't, well, automatic? What do I have?
