My Corona...Finally

[ssgross]

Some of you know I've been looking a long time for the right Smith Corona to go with the very late production typewriter I restored several years ago (I have since found a late underwood typewriter to go with my carbine )
I woke up this morning the winner of an early 1943 (first-block). Barreled action and parts appear to be intact as original, but the stock was sporterized, cut back to the lower band rather crudely, inspector stamps sanded off from the side, but proof mark and other marks in front of the magazine are intact. Stock is early pinned style. I am hoping, oh so hoping, the bolt, which has handle in the white and no marking on top of handle, isn't hiding an R under the root.

In any event, I have an extra NOS USGI field replacement scant stock, stamped with the keystone K and flaming bomb on the nose, to put this rifle in. can't wait to get it up and running!
