Was looking around on Gunbroker looking at 1903s and A3s. Spotted this auction for a DCM rifle. The Flaming Bomb on the barrel doesn't look right to me. Trying to learn and asking for comments.
TIA

Curly,
It looks fine to me, but I think the price is toooo high for what it is.
My thoughts, DW
Flaming bomb looks right for a SC. Different flame design than the Rem.Its a 4.8 mi serial number which is near the end of production.It should have the late large loop trigger guard,but has a early small loop.Remington bolt,cocking piece,bolt shroud.May be a Rem stock,cant tell for sure.The lower band spring cut out that the spring fits in should be round at the top.This one may be square like a Remington.To me a standard post war rebuild with papers.700 bucks?
Remington bolt, and it is parkerized, too. A post-war rebuild and a little overpriced. Pass on this one.
I concur with Don W and the others. That flaming bomb style is correct for a Smith-Corona barrel. :)Quote:
