Hi all!
I acquired my first '03 a while back, now I'm looking to expand.....
My LGS has a few 03-A3s available (they have had them for quite some time):
First is a very late Remington, it's condition is very very nice, 2-groove bore for $895
Second is a Smith-Corona with mixed parts, not quite as nice, 2-groove bore for $795
Third is a Smith-Corona that is import marked, not as nice as the other 2, but has a 4-groove for $850
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the dumb questions:
Are the 4-grooves more desirable?
These seem cheap by current standards, thoughts on prices?
It seems like SCs are a little more desirable?
The second rifle, with the mix of parts, is an earlier serial than the Remington. When did Smith-Corona begin production?
Is a mix of parts "correct"?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thank you all in advance for your help!
