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!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Hello Everyone,

I recently aquired a 1945 Mosin Nagant M44. I was doing some research and came across this interesting community.

Hello - I am a new member. I have been a shooter since I was about 12 yrs old. A reloader for 49 yrs. I shoot Cowboy Action -3 gun events. I recently started shoot small bore silhouette. At this time I am refurbishing a Smith-Corona 03-A3. It will be period correct , except for two holes ( done by the prior owner) drilled and taped for a Redding peep sight.

Hello everyone. I have been collecting a modest amount of surplus over the past 40 years. I know some things about stuff but am not an expert by no means.

I look forward to reading up and learning from you guys.

Hello to All,

I was recently the High Bidder at a local Auction for a 1944 Longbranch Enfield No.4 MK1* and wanted to find more information. I wound up here via Google, and have been amazed by everything I have found so far!

**OscarNobay** · 11-06-2011 10:56 PM

I've bought this old S&W spur trigger gun. I want to use it very little and use the weakest type of bullet possible so i don't put pressure on it. The gun in question is my profile picture still strugglin to upload. Attachment 28012 Attachment 28012

Above is an attempt to attach maybe that'd work. So please tell me what type bullets i can use.
Also if you can the make and the rough date it'd been produced.

Cheers
Oscar
