Smith-Corona 03-A3Trigger

[bordercav]

What should I look for in a Smith-Corona trigger? Are they plain or X stamped like the sear? I have three different smooth triggers, the main difference is the level of thickness and taper to the tip of the trigger, ranging from a thin sharp tip to a thick, almost blunt tip. None are marked. Thanks for any suggestions and I'll try to get some pictures up if there are no hard fast answers.

no markings, blue or phosphate finish, usually rough, thicker triggers

Thanks, the thinnest of the triggers is very well machined, the middle one is somewhat rough and blued. I'll pull the thickest(phosphate finish) which is the trigger currently in my SC (along with an R marked sear) and compare for hidden markings and machining. I just wanted to make sure that it didn't need to be marked with an X like the replacement sear I have.

A Smith-Corona trigger looks like a Remington '03-A3 trigger, except that it is unmarked. The finger piece is smooth and thick from front to rear. The finger piece thickness is tapered and has no bulbous bump at the bottom. The finish is a uniform dark blue, almost black.

Hope this helps.

X is actually a script H. Hadley tool

Smith-Corona sears are unmarked.

FWIW.

I pulled the sear & trigger on my SC and it turns out the trigger is marked with an R as well. The blued trigger I described fits the description and in it went with an unmarked sear I have as well. Thanks, you have set me straight. I appreciate the body of knowledge you all so generously offer.

Were Hadley triggers made for Smith-Corona?

[Chuckindenver]

hmm, dont know for sure. i have a couple hundred new ones in the package,
doesnt say anything about who they were made for, just 1903A3.

No. Smith-Corona made their own triggers.
