I'm kind of a springfield person..My father brought a 1903 springfield model back from WWII...he was in the Phillipines...I gaveit to my cousin whose dad didnt come back...I since have aquired a Springfield mod 1903 and a 1903A3.

Nice photos. I have just acquired my first SC o3-A3.
It was originally purchased by a gentleman working at the Anniston Army Depot in the early sixties through one of the NRA sales.

Good morning, I have one of the Smith Corona 1903A3. My Dad had it from around 1950. We recieved it in a wood box packed with grease. about 12 years ago after my dad passed away I found the box still packed in grease in his garage. after opening it I found the Smith Corona I cleaned off all the grease it was packed in, I tryed fireing it a couple of times to see if every thing works. How would I go about selling it.

Thx
Don
