Capt'n Rudy Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Recently I offered for sale this Sporterized Smith-Corona 1903-A3 and received a number of great comments from fellow Cowboys. Percy Halley even shared a photo of how he converted his Dad’s sporterized 1903 back to original. (Thanks Percy). So that’s where I’m headed since my son wants one of my other 1903-A3’s in trade for his Marlin Levermatic 30 Carbine. I’ll keep this Smith-Corona as a shooter. Here’s a list of parts I’m looking for, and hoping a Cowboy or two might have them laying around. Butt Plate (have both screws) Handguard Ring Lower Band with screw and sling loop Stacking Swivel band with screw and stacking loop Upper band with screw Stock with lower band retaining clip, and handguard with two metal clips Suggestions are most welcome. And thanks in advance, Capt’n Rudy, (USCG, Retired) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Willi Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I bought a sniper version 3or4 years ago. The stock was numbered but ver rough and not walnut. Like yours I was guessing birch. So I decided I was going to get new stock set with hand guard and all of the metal pieces to complete the stock. I found most of the pieces either from Gun Parts Corp or Sarco. Between the two I got everything I needed. However when I added it up. It was a few bucks. I tried to get as much as i could at one time tO avoid shipping costs. However some of the parts I got were not the quality I wanted so I would have to send them back and get the better part either from the other company or ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
