Description:
The Smith Corona 03-A3 Rifle is a variant of the Springfield M1903 rifle produced during World War II. It was manufactured by the Smith Corona Typewriter Company, which was contracted by the US government to produce rifles for the war effort. The 03-A3 was designed to improve upon the original Springfield M1903 design and streamline manufacturing for mass production. It retained many of the features of the M1903, including its Mauser-style bolt action, five-round internal magazine, and durable walnut stock. However, several modifications were made to simplify production and reduce costs. Notable changes included the use of stamped metal components instead of machined parts, a two-groove barrel instead of the M1903's four-groove barrel, and a simplified rear sight design. Despite these changes, the Smith Corona 03-A3 retained the M1903's reputation for accuracy and reliability. It was widely used by US forces during World War II. The rifle was well liked by soldiers and Marines for its smooth action and excellent performance in combat conditions. Today, the Smith Corona 03-A3 remains a popular collector item and a testament to the ingenuity and industrial capacity of American manufacturing during wartime. None
