1944 Smith-Corona Model 1903-A3 "Springfield"

**usmc3439** · 03-14-2015 08:32 PM

Recently acquired this WW2 gem. Serial number indicates January 1944 production date. It retains all its original correct Smith-Corona components and all stock cartouches (some are faint from handling but still visible), the bore is gorgeous, overall finish is still great. The rifle has been used but has been taken care of.

Enjoy the pictures!

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.

Is the sling an original WWII vintage? It looks like the real deal but the condition almost seems too nice.

I have a similar late 1943 Smith Corona 1903A3 and have been searching for a sling for it without luck so far.

Yes Sir, it is in fact a WW2 Milsco 1944 vintage sling. It is in very good shape, with the exception of a small mouse bite mark.
