New Smith Corona 03A3

**Calfed** · 03-23-2010 09:39 PM

I picked up the "new" S/C 03A3 and 1903 MK1 today. I took some pictures of them. Found a little surprise in the butt of the 03A3--a nice cleaning kit.

Here's the S/C 03A3

I can't find any indication that it has been through the arsenal. Anything I need to be looking for?

Thanks, Steve

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.

Nice Smith Cal, I'm jealous!

Just curious, the 10 day wait, is that a CA law?

**Calfed** · 03-23-2010 10:12 PM

Yep--I have a C&R, but got these from a California auction house, which requires that they be "DROS"d"--"Dealer Record of sale". That requires putting my name through the California DOJ, which takes 10 days.

Everything pictured is correct SC, Steve. (you lucky dog!)

Congrats on a great find!

I'll trade ya for my all correct Remington A3.
