1903A3 Smith Corona correct finish

[sakorick]

most 1903a3s were issued to support or non combat type troops, iv seen more then a few truck driveres with 1903A3s , as well as heavy equipment operators.

That's true for mid/late war, however, the 1st Marine Division on GC had them and the Marines were still using them at Iwo. Here is a pic taken in Oct 42 on GC with the 5th marine Rgt relieving the 1st Marine Reg. Note they are all carrying 1903's. When the 1st Marine Division was relieved in Jan 1943 and sent on R&R, they still had not been issued Garands. Regards, Rick.
