I'm not an avid collector but I do like the military arms. My other gun is a SKS Chinese that my father in law gave me that was in pretty bad shape.


I just inherited a Smith Corona 03-A1. Date on the barrel is June of 1943.

This site and some others have been a great help in learning about this rifle. However, there is a glitch in my research.

The serial number on the gun is C3708823.

My research shows that the "C" means that the serial number is the same as some of the Remington made 1903A1 firearms. Problem is that Remington and Smith Corona never were issued block numbers past 3707999.

Anybody got a clue as to what happened here ?
