I recently picked up a Remington Rand 1911A1 for $450.00. I am going to take it to a local smith to have it looked at. I want to make sure that it is functional. The person that I bought it from said that they got it from his father, but had never shot it. He wasn't sure what was all original on it. I took a look at it, and compared it to a few forum posts in general. It looks like at least the slide and receiver match up. I am not sure about the grips, the internals, or the barrel though. Seeing as this is my FIRST 1911, I don't even know how to break it down yet.
I will try to post some pictures of it when I get a chance too. I was wondering if anyone knows where to look if I were to need some parts for it?
