parts search

[RickM]

Found my way over, almost didn't until someone pointed out to me the old site is going bye bye. Sad cause I liked the plain jane look of it. Anyhow I had posted a parts search need.

I need to find a barrel band retaining spring for a smith corona 03a3 i picked up today. Anyone know of one or have a spare? Also the buttplate on this one is checked . . . any info on that? The previous 03's I have had were all smooth is this normal for an 03a3?

Dont know if I'm correct but I have a buttplate that I was told was a SC due to the large checkering.

Scroll down and check the butt plate pics for Remington and Smith Corona

you might try Dick Williams Gun Shop, Inc. he is in Saginaw Michigan an has a lot of military parts , it might be best to call and discribe what you want. I've gone thru the parts box to outfit my 03a3 with better and all remington parts . Good luck

Hello Rick,
I have a S/C retainer spring, it's unmarked and it's new. Your S/C buttplate should have large square's and not the smaller square's of the 03A3 Rem. B/P. I have a correct B/P if you need one for your S/C rifle stock
Thanks
