Remington Rand 1911

glocknspeal
Where can I get a slide stop/release(whatever you want to call it) for a remington rand, 1911, .45? The pistol is entirely original and I want an original piece to replace the broken one. Thanks.

    I inherited a 1911 that the serial # dates to 1919. It has a remington rand slide on it. Question is : Are all the slides interchangeable and is there any benefit to swapping for the correct one? There is nothing special about the gun. Just curious...........

    I am nothing like an expert on 1911 Governments but even I know that there are probably five variations of the Remington Rand .45. You'll need to provide actual details of the pistol and it's markings or some very good photos in order to any kind of accurate estimate on value.

    http://www.model1911a1.com/ according to this website i think i can find it and i guess it goes for about 3250$? the serial number is the best way to find out which one you got i guess 1584254

    Made in 1943 BUT the BIG thing with value on military small arms albeit rifle or pistol is the fact of IS IT ALL ORIGINAL down to the smallest part as well as condition. Most times this will necessitate a hands on inspection and tear-down Lacking that it would need some VERY detailed pictures in natural light not flash and with the pistol stripped barrel markings are very important. . With out pictures somewhere between $500.00 and $5000.00

    My reference books state the Remington Rand should have a HIGH Standard barrel marked HS not a F marked Flannery barrel

    www.coolgunsite.com says some Remington Rands had Flannery barrels.

    But it is going to take good close clear pictures of the gun and all markings to get a real discussion going.

    You planning on selling?

    I was at a local auction a couple weeks ago and one of the later Remington Rands,1943 or 1944, went for $900. Remington Rand made the most .45s for WWII. People were aggressive at that auction and it was the only collectible .45 for sale.

    Unfortunately when auction fever sets in, folks do all full stupid things. Lot of times there are also what are known as shill bidders, that are working the auction to drive up the prices. Buying a Remington Rand at that price without knowing if the frame was also made by Remington Rand, and the internal parts are correct would be a real iffy proposition IMHO.

    To clarify my previous post. The .45 at the auction did have the correct frame and slide. It was not "iffy" as anyone could handle and verify originality. The frame and slide were correct, it had the original, worn parkerized finish, not a reman processed unit. It looked better than the pictures here, but here is a link:
