    Remington Rand 1911 A1

    I recently purchased a RR 1911 A1, from what I can tell it is mostly complete, except for the thumb safety, that appears to be from a Colt, anyone here can help me in identifying this, and would anyone have a 1944 thumb safety, if the one I have turns out to be incorrect for this weapon. 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.

    If I am correct, it is an early 1944. Pictures would be great. As we jokingly say here, "without pictures, it never happened".

    Remington Rand used checkered thumb safeties throughout their production.

    See Clawson's little book, page 61, "safety locks----early locks checkered, later grooved"

    The information about Remington Rand using serrated safety locks is incorrect. They used nothing but checkered thumb safeties.
