    Could any of the Colt 1911a1 slides be assembled to a Remington Rand serialed lower 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.

    Like browningautorifleicon says, yep. Remington Rand made 'em to U.S. Ordnance Dept Spec. Weapons techs did not and do not care who made what part.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Yes. These were made for one purpose...to go 'full regalia' into a war effort. Just like an M1icon, they are tools that were tried & trued for one job. Would be silly for them yo not be interchangeable.

    They were designed to be repaired and replaced with the other parts available. Thats one of the reasons why I (contrary to most ppl) actually dont mind lowers and uppers not matching on war time guns. Its in their very nature to not match. 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
