Southwest Mfg. Grp. in Chandler, Fred Johnson - M14

#1

Post by delta6 »

I'm helping a friend appraise a collection that he will be liquidating for the widow. There is a rifle in the collection that is a rebuilt T-44 (in semi-auto with a semi receiver). The name associated with this build is Southwest Mfg. Group, Chandler, AZ and the name of the builder is believed to be Fred Johnson. The gun has been in the collection probably for at least 30 years?

Has anyone ever heard of Southwest Mfg. Group or Fred Johnson?

Thanx,
delta6

Here's a thread where some people discuss him. Apparently his work was top knotch, having learned from directly at Rock Island Armory.
