    1911 A1 Remington Rand / Colt

    I have been looking for a nice clean WW2 era 1911 A1 for my collction and found one on GunBroker. Very attractive but it has a Remington Rand upper on a Colt lower. The finish looks great on both so I bought it. I'm not a purist who must have everything the way a book says it must be. I assume these guns were repaired during the war and afterwards with whatever part worked, regardless of manufacturer. Is the mixed upper and lowers a common thing? Thanks.

    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 saw one of those auctions where the seller said they had a Colt slide on a RR frame. I checked the numbers and the frame was a Colt too. Maybe you will get lucky and have a correct gun.
