And can I rest peacefully tonight knowing its fairly common and acceptable to find Remington components in a SC?

Also included two photos of the "final product" post cleaning and one with my Springfield '03 for everybody's viewing pleasure.
You have a splendid rifle. And you are correct that Smith-Corona made most of the parts. Barrels were made by High Standard and Stocks and Handguards were also made by a subcontractor.

Remington was indeed authorized to transfer some early parts to Smith-Corona. I know that stocks were transferred. And I have seen a few other small parts to include front sights. But I believe some of the Remington parts on your rifle may be replacements made by a previous owner.

Thanks again for sharing!
