    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

    I think you did well! You sure have the "nack"!!

    Nice Smith Cal, I'm jealous!

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

    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.
