Smith-corona subcontractors

[bob4wd]

I see a lot of parts for S.C. A-3s that are supposedly "correct" for these guns but that are not marked with the "x", but have other markings such as cc, J, U, etc. Specifically, I have an extractor marked "CC" and an ejector marked "U" ( or maybe "J", hard to tell). Are these correct or after-market or post-war or did I waste my money again?
Thanks much.

I have reviewed my (4 )03A3 book references, with very little luck.

I understand that "G" marked bolt parts are Smith Corona, but I don't have any thing other than Internet auction posts to go by???

Thanks in advance for responding!

G gothom steel.
CC Commercial Controls
X on trigger and rear sights is actually a script H.. Hadley tool.
more then likely the U is a C i have seen some CC marked ejectors and extractors, S on a extracror is a SC part.

Good info indeed! Thanks Chuck, I'll save these for future reference. BTW, is there a master list somewhere of all subcontractor codes? It would be of tremendous help, I'm sure. Be a good article to write, if not one already?

master list in my head, based on rifles and parts iv seen over the years. i have a few new in the package parts with the names on them.
