Which O3a3 would you sell?

[brock]

I have two O3s and was thinking about selling one. Of course I want to keep the best for myself. I have a Smith Corona and Remington. I like the Smith just due to the fact that its a typewriter co that was pressed into making arms for the war effort. But I have been told its not all original Smith parts. I have to take some pictures of the Remington but have a few of the Smith. I know I need to get some of the Rem. but can we start with the Smith and go from there? Forgive the RIGs grease I keep it for LTS.

I have too many guns. It becomes they own you, you don't own them. I have 12 AR15s and as soon a prices go up I am selling off several.

The pistol grip stock is not original to either rifle, and the square safety lug was only found on the very late S-C rifles. The square safety lug was found on the replacement bolts. The buttplate is from a 1903 rifle.

The Smith in Smith-Corona was L.C. Smith the shotgun maker.

So its a Franken 03?

When the guns went back through rebuild there was no effort made to keep the original parts together. A mix of parts suited the military fine.

The Smith-Corona has a low enough serial number that it probably had a 6 groove barrel originally. If the barrel is still 6 groove I would consider keeping it.

An original Remington O3-A3.

Please post your pictures directly to the thread. There is no reason to use photo hosting, it just destroys the thread in the future when the pictures disappear.

[Johnny Peppers]

Had no success changing the photo hosting. I must be reading the wrong instructions.

I guess not being able to post a photo to a thread and posting one that disappears after a few years results in the same outcome.

Same here, I can not get the attachment on this site to pop up. I have disabled all blockers and tried other browser no luck.

[Jeff V]

I will give it a try.
