Description: Good condition, some wear, nicks and scratches, comes with one mag. 1911 semi auto pistol - 5" barrel parkerized finish, single action trigger, spur hammer, checkered safety, mag and slide releases, lanyard ring and brown checkered grip panels. Remington Rand was awarded its first order on March 16th, 1942, for a total of 125,000 1911A1 pistols. The company had no experience building pistols at the time it was awarded the contract. Remington Rand formed a new division (Remington Rand "C" Division) to take charge of building the pistols. Remington Rand "C" Division converted a vacant plant into a modern pistol manufacturing facility. The plant was located on Dickerson street in Syracuse, N.Y and was once used for building typewriters. By March of 1945 they where building the lowest price pistol in the war effort and quality was considered second to none. By the end of the war Remington Rand had produced over 875,000 pistols, almost as many as Colt (628,808) and Ithaca (335,467) combined. Since Remington Rand manufactured more 1911A1s then any other military contractor and the fact that the quality was considered second to none, it is not uncommon to find many Remington Rand receivers as the foundation to the National Match pistols used at the Camp Perry National Matches. .45 ACP Price: $2,299.99 Chambers: Semi auto Metal Condition: Good Bore Condition: Bright Barrels: 5 Triggers: Single action Butt Pad: Brown checkered grips Sights: Factory iron sights Item Location: La Vista, NE Contact Seller |
