1. Do not deal with someone who is wiling to break federal law by shipping to anyone but an FFL. You can't trust a cheater.
2. If you spending more for a gun than you are willing to throw away, research and choose a reputable escrow company to hold the funds until you receive and are satisfied with your purchase.

I recently had an opportunity to pick up what I think is a nice 1903A3 Smith Corona. It definitely needed a good cleaning as it was loaded with cosmoline,grease, dirt etc. It cleaned up rather nicely I believe. I currently have it taken down to complete a data sheet on it, and its turning out thus far to be nice SC. Previous owner stated it came from CMP North store quite some time ago. Here is a link to the photo's after I cleaned her up: http://imgur.com/a/Jvt2d Comments & Thoughts welcomed ..... Semper Fi ...

Is it a Two or a Four groove barrel? Gary Bush

I have heard mention 2, 4 and even 6 groove SC guns. Can you tell me more?
2 groove SC barrels iv seen were all 9-43.. early SC barrels were 6 groove...majority of SC barrels are 4 groove.
if it aint broke...fix it till it finally is.
2-groove SC barrels are quite uncommon, if not rare.

I personally have not seen a SC 2-groove barrel. Still waiting for someone to post photos. Hint, hint... Mike
I have yet to see a 2 groove SC also I finished the data sheet on this one its all SC Barrel is SC 7-43' and the rifle serial number puts the rifle at 8-43 Got a chance to take a few quick shots with her, 3 shots at 100 yds, using Prvi P 150 gr FMJ, No wind and all 3 in the B-Eye at 1.25 group IMO, not to shabby at all, going to be a keeper...

I understand that 6 groovers are hard to find or am I mistaken?
I noticed the X stamped on the bolt handle. My S/C's all have the X, some books say that is correct, and at least one book says no. What say you? PS, I once bought a S/C bolt still in the unopened bag, with the X. I "once" had a 6 groove and it didn't shoot straight. I had that "Chuck guy in Denver" put in a correct year 4 groove. Now shoots very good. Nothing shoots like my 2 groove hog gun though.
