    I Carried a Colt 1911 in the Army as an MP in the mid 70s. I have been hooked on 1911s ever since, and now own 9 of them. Best semi auto pistol ever made in my opinion. Great job restoring this Remington. To see one so pitted is very sad.

    As a certified armorer on several weapon platforms, it does my heart good to see you guys using gunsmithing bits to remove screws. I cringe when I watch other channels use a "cheapo" flathead to remove a screw from one of these pieces of history.

      i like to watch this media but i watch the other medias as well. those guys seem to work with limited tools like they don't have the immediate access to tools that north americans have, they kind of make do. a lot of them don't do test fires afterwards like the kinsler bros. do because they either can't afford new parts or they just do it so that the guns are reconstructed for show.

    I will echo the sentiment of previous commenters by saying why some people would allow that pistol to be so neglected. But since we don’t know the previous owners situation or mindset we shouldn’t judge them too harshly. You and your extensive skill set were able to resurrect an old warhorse and give it a new life and purpose. I own a Remington from a similar time period. It’s been well taken care of by me over the 50 years I’ve had it and will continue to serve with my son. Outstanding restoration!!!!! Thanks for sharing your video with us.

      He said it was made in 1945, so it probably did not see any war time action. Probably got smuggled off post stateside by some enlisted man, who shot a few bottles with it before he used it to rob the local liquor store then stashed it at his old folks barn afterward and that is where it has been sitting since.

      Remington-Rand made more 1911A1 pistols than any other contractor, including Colt. All the more impressive since Colt made them for approximately 20 years(after transitioning from the 1911) while RR only made them for about three years.

    i have a remington rand 45 paid $15 for it and $15 for an M1 carbine. I ordered them from either the NRA or DCM. They arrived via the USMail together in a cardboard box (no padding) in, i think, the mid to early 60s. Those were the good old days. I still have both.

    You gotcha a good one guys. Those things are built like a tank. I bought a Remington Rand 1911A1 in 1971 that had some pitting on the slide. I paid $100 for it, wish I still had it.

    I've been critical of some of the finishing methods you use in your restorations before, but this was very well executed. You did a fantastic job with this pistol, and I'm glad you parkerized it instead of hot-bluing. Honestly, I'm surprised the barrel was able to stabilize the bullets and provide acceptable accuracy given the pitting.

      Usually 45's are pretty stable in flight, maybe where the center of mass is placed in those 230gr ball bullets? idk, but it's not the first 45 with bad rifling I see being accurate anyways.
