Remington UMC 1911 ?

**Lite-Box** · 05-26-2009 09:34 PM

Local club member was shooting a A nice AA rebuild 1911 at the range this week. Slide was Remington UMC but the 1911 frame had a serial # that started with an " X " instead of " No. " , it had the " United States icon

Property " on left side but no proof above mag release. Is this gun built on a replacement frame ?

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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Springfield Armory provided replacement serial numbers beginning with X to rebuild facilities to be used on pistols that had lost their serial numbers. The pistol could have been a stolen and recovered with the serial number removed, or the serial number could have been lost during the sandblasting process in rebuild.
Clawson's Collector's Guide has a list of where the X serial numbers were assigned.
