    COLT/RAND again.



    I made an offer. The holster says boyt 45. Is it real? The gun shop owner seemed to be sure it was.
    I put the original replacement barrel (c in box) colt 1945 that was internal threaded at the muzzle? Don't know if you can see it in the pic?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    It does look like RM at first glance.

    Never seen RM markings on a M1911A1, who was that inspector and which manufacturers did he mark?

    It does kind of look like RM but on closer inspection you can see the FJA ...

    Yes FJA with a double strike on the A making me think when I first saw it think it was a RM. That mystery was solved in the original thread, I just wanted to post some better pics and get more opinion as to price if I was to buy it. It's a mixed shooter in what I consider good physical condition. I understand that a rebuilt with 2 different halves would be on the low side or priced in the poor bracket ( no rework stamp) but surely this would be better then a new replica that could be as high as $700. Or I should wait and buy an all original as my first 1911? Now the $600- 750 w holster will double or triple so plan b is save,save,save.

    I have seen several all correct Remington Rands at the gunshows that are in 80% to 85% condition for around $900 to $1100. I would save my money and go for something that is actually collectible and will go up in value.
