yes sir, it’s a Smith Corona with all matching numbers with minimal throat wear. The only thing I did when getting it was strip it down to check all numbers, chased the crown to clean it up and cleaned the stock and then restored it with boiled linseed oil and bees wax.
Outstanding! I have 2 sporterized hand me downs from my grandpa. The first one he gave me is chambered in 30 Gibbs, it'll hang with a 300 Win (with extra spicy handloads). The second was rebarreled in 06 but I do still have most of the old parts minus the stock unfortunately. It'll probably get un-sporterized someday.

I picked up my Smith Corona from a private family sale, there father had collected a lot but the family didn’t want the one I picked up, it was wrapped in oily newspaper.

Shoots better than me with decent hand loads, here’s 100 yards off a bench, not bad for a rifle made in 1944.

This spring I gave a buddy a box of Micarta scraps from work for knife handles...
Over the holidays he sent me a knife he made in return...

My LGS called me on the 27th to inform me that Colt was offering a $100 rebate on King Cobras till Dec.31st (and coincidentally he had one for sale)

I guess that's why they call them gun dealers...

It did. who's lower did you use and what barrel did you use?
JSE Surplus parts and an Anderson lower...
It's a 20" LW A2 upper that I put the A1 handguard and flash hider on...
( also a Hi-Viz green Fiber optic front post since I plan on keeping it irons only)

how have I missed this thread.

I guess I should say I’m guilty of a firearm collection, I’ll post a few of my favorites.

First up my 22 competition rifle. A Bergara B14r barreled action in a Woox chassis.

Next up a few of my Model 19’s. Two 4” 19-3’s and a new 19 Carry Comp
