So, after searching and finally finding a nice stock for a Smith Corona 1903a3, I worked out a trade for one from Washington state. It arrived with a nice crease in the shipping box, and the beautiful stock is now cracked almost completely through on both sides of the inletting for the action, between the reinforcing pins.
So.... the search continues.
Fortunately, I am not out anything, and the shipper is working on getting his insurance claim with the post office.
