It’s been a few years, I’m taking it out today if i can find a spot on my buddies farm. Vintage rifle deserves vintage brass.

I have an 03A3 Smith Corona that I got at an auction a few years back that was all icky and greasy and you couldn't see much down the bore because of cobwebs etc. but has a Rem. bolt. What a dusty dirty mess it was, straight out of a corner in someones barn.
I had a feeling, and took a chance, and bid it up a ways and bought it.
I got it home and cleaned and cleaned for 2 days and found a pristine 4 groove barreled 03A3 under all of the grime.
It does have a Rem. bolt but I think that may be common, not sure on that.
It is my favorite Vintage rifle to shoot that I own and will shoot much better than my NM Garand as to accuracy.
Action is smooth as glass.
 
Beaut. Shims under the scope base and everything.

My favorite rifle of all time.

I got a Z prefix action off of CMP when they sold them and built a rifle. ChuckinDenver helped a ton acquiring parts and asspembling. He is the go to guy with these rifles. Ill look for pics. Went the rebuild route with the M84 scope on mine.

Have fun with her!

Who is ChuckinDenver? I would like to take my rifle to someone who is in the "know" on these and find out what I really have.

I do wish all of my bolt rifles were as smooth as this one is.
 
D-Tros, You are the man.

I talked to Chuck and we will have a meeting set up shortly. Amazing how small the World is when you get right down to it. FM

Gorgeous piece of history. I have one, but not the original scope and rings. Just put a vintage Weaver K2.5 60B that I bought with an old Winchester 70 on top of it for now. Will eventually make it fully complete. Seeing yours is good inspiration for sure!
