Remington Rand Type II S/N 186xxx

**mojalajab** · 12-28-2017 05:04 PM

Good Day,

I was wondering if the knowledgeable folks on this forum could advice me on the originality of the finish on this Type II RR. Comments and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and Happy new Year!

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.

Nice looking pistol...

Your Remington Rand was buffed and re-finished by parkerizing. The original finish was Dulite Blue.

Nice gun, but it looks refinished to me.

**rcathey** · 01-19-2018 10:07 AM

A refinish would probably be expected on these, though, right? Did they go through a rebuild after the war?
I did see a 1911 (NOT A1) at a gun store the other day. Blued finish, flat mainspring, all that good stuff. They wanted $2,500.

Thing is...I've done lots of these in the past and there's no way to tell. I glass bead blasted them and parkerized them in both black and grey so they looked good. The stampings were still clear and they looked new. People could easily suggest they were unissued or arsenal refinished... I say there's no way to tell when this was done or by whom.

Jim. The first thing I look at is the OC canons. They were applied after the pistol was blued.....so they should show raw metal. Sometimes you have to tilt them around a bit but the marks always show up.

A better picture. I took it in the sun room and tilted it around a bit.

Very correct. It was DuLite and is not now.
