What exactly was their role in the sporting rifle world? I know what the Johnson Rifle was, but I read several references to them in Michael's book (I think largely pertaining to barrels on sporting rifles.)
And here is a sporter attested to be made by them, although the seller doesn't go into much detail.

Thanks.
