Yesterday in the mail a Smith-Corona 1903A3, 9/43 on the barrel. Cleaned up real nice, washed the stock with hot soapy water, dried, litely took a fine steel wool pad and scrubed in some BLO, let dry and rubbed in some Birchwood Casy's stock wax. I oiled all the metal with WeaponShield.
Everything looks original except for the small R on the trigger. The bolt has a lightly struck X on top, The bore is nice and shiney with good lands and grooves. The rear sight had some light surface rust but a tooth brush and oil took care of that. It has black parkerizing and black blueing, 98% plus finish. A very nice looking rifle.
