Gun Restoration | WW2 Remington Rand 1911 A1, (with test firing)
Ойын-сауық
#restoration #ww2 #remington
Here is the restoration of an old 1945 Remington Rand from ww2. This firearm was brought back from the war and sat in a Barn for decades before finally meeting me. This 1911 is horrible pitted but does function still. This is a testament to how well designed the 1911 was. Hope you enjoy the video and consider subscribing. AS always thanks for watching!

As a Brit, this is my favourite pistol from over the pond. To see it stripped and brough back to life is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

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.

She may not be as pretty as she was in 1945,but no less deadly. GREAT addition to the collection and another nicely done restoration!😊 My son has a WWII RR 1911 A1 I purchased in the early 1960's from DCM for the insane price of $21.50. In great shape except for holster wear.

For those who might not know Remington Rand was a manufacturer of typewriters. One of many manufacturers who switched production of their signature products to make military equipment. Other makers of 1911 handguns were Union Switch & Signal company who were makers of railway switch equipment and the Singer sewing machine company.

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.
