[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2895101, member: 13284"] Thanks for the kind words guys. :) I also found that the trigger is not a Smith Corona piece, but I'm not planning on replacing it with the correct part. It's the nicest trigger that I have in any of my rifles so I'm not going to screw with it. On another note, I also found that the Gotham Cover that I ordered is not correct either. Several authors and websites list the Gotham covers (Delta G logo on right side, and drawing number on left) as the correct cover for Smith Corona A3's. According to 1903 guru John Beard, the Gotham covers were a replacement part and Seaville Mfg Co. was the main supplier to Smith Corona. The Seaville covers are marked with an encircled S logo and are almost always incorrectly referred to as a Sedgley manufactured part. Just putting this info out there so that someone doesn't make my same mistake. There's still a lot of published misinformation floating around out there. At least in this instance it was a part that cost less than $15 that I'll still end up using anyway so no harm done... [/QUOTE]
