Early example of a WWII Smith-Corona Model 1903A3 rifle as manufactured in March 1943. It has the standard receiver markings of "U.S. / SMITH-CORONA / MODEL 03-A3/3655351" and the barrel is marked "S C/ordinance bomb/ 3-43" just behind the rear sight. It has the standard military front and rear sight and is fitted with all the stamped WWII components. It has the early style Smith-Corona two-pin stock that has the crossed-cannon and boxed "FJA" cartouche on the left side of the stock with a single circled "P" proof in the pistol grip area. It is complete with a front sight cover, canvas muzzle cover, and WWII canvas sling.

Arsenal refurbished overall with 98% of a reparkerized GI finish on all the parts showing only minor handling marks and slight cycling marks on the bolt. The stock and handguard have been nicely hand rubbed with linseed/tru-oil giving it a nice sheen to the finish. The stock proofs are clear. A nice example of a early SC 1903A3 service rifle.
