The M1941 Johnson Rifle is an American short recoil operated semi-automatic rifle designed by Melvin Johnson before the Second World War, produced from 1940 to 1945 and chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge, with a Chilean variant in 7x57mm Mauser. It unsuccessfully competed against the M1 Garand for adoption as the standard American service rifle, but saw limited use with United States Marines during the war.
