Description:
Smith Corona Model 1903-A3, manufactured December 1943, serial 4817xxx. No import marks. Excellent used condition.
Most metal parts have a parkerized finish, in good to excellent condition. No parts of the gun have been heavily polished or sandblasted - lettering such as “U.S. SMITH-CORONA” on the receiver is as sharp as new. Bore is bright and shiny. Stock has some dings but no cracks.
The rifle has been disassembled, examined, cleaned, lubricated and test fired-it shoots great.
