Saved Two More

[highpower3006]

I just recently finished restoring a couple of '03-A3's, a Remington and a Smith-Corona. The Remington I bought as a complete rifle that had a mixture of parts from every era of the '03 series production.

The S-C was a bit more challenging as all I had to start with was an action and a barrel.

This is what I traded for, Feb. 1943 production:



Original six groove barrel


Oh darn!




I managed to score a VERY nice S-C stock off of evilbay with handguard for what I considered to be a decent price and the tone for the restoration was set: Try to make it as nice as possible, using as many correct parts as I could reasonably source.

I know that it is certainly not perfect, in addition to now sporting a Remington barrel, I have a later production large bow trigger guard and a couple of small items that I want to upgrade.
