Matt found this one on GB. Apparently it's a neighbor of mine(same town anyway). Would make it easy to get, heh.

1903A3 Smith Corona sporter made by Flaig. This rifle has a Flaig Ace heavy barrel in .243win, a Weaver K10 two dot recticle scope,and what I believe to be a Bishop stock. The barrel is glass bedded and has a bright shiney bore. The scope is very nice, it has clear optics and works fine. It also has vintage Redfield rings and base. The rifle needs a low scope saftey. She shoots 1 inch 5 shot groups at 100yds with handloads. I need a signed copy of an FFL to ship

Looks like a nice shooting rifle. My only concern would be the trigger. Looks to be the original military factory trigger. If for hunting I'm sure it would be fine but if for target it's not the best trigger.

Thanks. Exactly what I'm interested in knowing. I don't know these types of rifles and where the pitfalls are.

Looks gorgeous good luck with it

I have no opinion since it is far from my knowledge base, but if you get it, I wish you the best of luck with it.

send the guy a message and go look at it then make him a offer if it doesnt sell on GB .

Send it before the sale ends other wise it wont go through

Matt spends way too much time on gunbroker. looks like a nice rifle.
