Smith Carona 1903 returning to birthplace

[John Beard]

I have found no evidence to indicate that Smith-Corona rifles were manufactured or assembled in Rochester, NY. As I recall, the Smith-Corona plant where M'03-A3's were manufactured and assembled was located in Syracuse, NY.

Did I miss something?

EnfieldNutt84,
When I received an SC 03a3 from the CMP I understood that they were made in Syracuse. If you are interested in a Rochester made WWII rifle go to the CMP web site and order a National Postal Meter M1 carbine. They were assembled in Rochester during the war. I'm also located in the Rochester area and have an interest in NY made weapons.

No, you didn't. The citation was lifted from a somewhat flawed account of the 03 familiy on Wikipedia.

We(the members of this group) should probably edit the wiki article
