U.S. Model 1903-A3 Bolt Action Rifle By Smith-Corona

serial #3648775, 30-06, 24" barrel dated "3-43" with a very good but lightly frosted bore. The barrel and action have what appears to be the original parkerized finish which is now a mottled brown with gray while the bolt and most of the stock furniture have a newer arsenal parkerized finish. The walnut handguard and scant-c buttstock rate excellent having a few minor dings and are void of any markings. Oddly enough the barrel has an import marking on the underside near the muzzle from St Albans, VT, most likely Century Arms. A very good reconditioned example overall that will likely make a good shooter. (45673-44) {C&R} Amoskeag Auction
