Could any of the Colt 1911a1 slides be assembled to a Remington Rand serialed lower frame?
Simply put, yes. They all interchange.
Like browningautorifle says, yep. Remington Rand made 'em to U.S. Ordnance Dept Spec. Weapons techs did not and do not care who made what part.
Yes. These were made for one purpose...to go 'full regalia' into a war effort. Just like an M1, they are tools that were tried & trued for one job. Would be silly for them yo not be interchangeable.Quote:

Its almost a sign that it did its job in a weird way. The US Army ordnance didnt care and the soldier firing it didnt care...so why should I! haha
