Smith Corona 03a3 the sn# 4809xxx

[ERIKSEN K]

I just joined so hello to all. I signed up to see about some questions I have on a Smith Corona 03a3 the sn# 4809xxx the receiver was made in 1944 but what month? Sorry I looked of two days and cannot find this info for the SC. The barrel is dated 8-44 but no SC mark just flaming bomb and date. The barrel is 4 groove and looks new as not been fired it is parkerized.[ I say not been fired as I just built a 700 with a shilen barrel new the stock is a scant, there is no proof marks on the weapon some on the stock but not on the sights, bolt, floor plate, trigger exc. is this all after market or reproduction parts I will post pics. Later and thank you all for reading this post.
And sorry if I did not put this in the right place.

Hey if you all watch family guy its peanut butter jelly time!

Your receiver was produced about November of 1943. Rifle is not original, but stock markings may indicate if it was a military rebuild or if done after it left the military.

should have a 9-43 SC marked barrel.
