Remington rand 1911a1 replacement barrel for sale

#Remington rand 1911a1 replacement barrel for sale serial

Interestingly enough, at the beginning of the war, Springfield Armory sent some of their barrels that were left over from their pre WWI production to Remington-Rand and Ithaca and a few were also used by US&S very early on. So even though everyone seems to think that the Flannery's are replacements, I have no problem seeing one on a late R-R or Ithaca. It is far more common to see the HS barrels though, and both my R-R and Ithaca have HS barrels on them.

IMO, if the gun otherwise looks to be original and un-messed with and falls in the mid '43 and later serial range, I would give it the benefit of a doubt and assume it is original to the gun. He gave you something to remember him that will last a lifetimeДЇlannery barrels were in limited use from mid 1943 until the end of production by both Remington-Rand and Ithaca. Wow.wouldn't we all like to have an associate like that. I love hearing stories like this! Thanks for sharing! I've been taking good care of it ever since.Sadly my old friend died a short time after that of cancer. With that he says 'good, cause I'm partial to the 2 tone colt' and he slides the Rem across the table to me and says 'take good care of your new gun kid'. I told him if it was me, I'd take the Rem. I look at both and they both look correct and original except the colt has a noticeable difference in the Parkerizing from frame to slide. One a USGI Colt and the other a Rem/rand. He says he'd been offered one of these 2 1911s and wants to know which one he should buy and he puts 2 guns in front of me. I walk in and he offers a chair and says he's having trouble making a decision. He calls one day and asked if I could drop by & see him. One day at his shop he asked me if there was one gun I would want that I didn't have, what would it be? I immediately said a WW2 1911a1.fast forward a few months. Back in the 90s, I had an old business associate who was a well heeled,avid collector.
