Can't zero a Smith Corona 03A3

**acesneights1** · 01-18-2015 10:43 AM

Thanks for the replies. So far I have come up with zero in Ct as far as gunsmiths willing to look at it. JoJo's was the only one who said they do it but have a 3 month backlog. This doesn't sound like someone at my level should attempt.
What does it normally cost to get this done so I have an idea of what I should be charged ? Given the fact that the gun has been sporterized and possibly mixed parts , is it even worth fixing at this point ?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were a smith. I thought you meant you fixed ones you owned. Duh, I should have read your profile...I will give you a call. I am not sure what is involved with shipping a gun ? Do I have to send it through an FFL ? We have all kinda of ridicoulous gun control laws they passed here in Ct and I am not sure what I can and can't do anymore...

you box it, send it to me, i repair it, and send it back.. simple as that..
