How old is my Remington?
Remington Year of Manufacture Codes maybe found on the barrel of your Remington rifle [or shotgun] on the left side, just forward of the receiver; the first letter of the Code is the month of manufacture, followed by one or two letters which are the year of manufacture.
What year did Remington stop making the 1911?
During, WW1 Remington made some 1911s on government contract, although stopped production in 1919 right after the war. In 2011 Remington reintroduced the 1911 as the 1911 R1 to commemorate 100 years of the 1911. The R1 has features from both the original 1911 and the 1911-A1, as well as a few other features off of more modern guns.
How does the R1 compare to the original 1911?
The only two things that the R1 really has in common with the original 1911 is the double diamond walnut grips, and the flat main spring housing. The gun does have very nice checkered walnut grips, probably of higher grade then what would have served on the army guns, but they did stay true to the double diamond design like the originals.
What is the difference between the R1 and A1?
Unlike either the original 1911 or the A1, the R1 uses a series 80 receiver, so it has the split firing pin safety. It also has a front dovetail instead of a pinned front sight to allow the front sight to be adjusted or changed easier.
How accurate is this 1911?
Since it is so tight, it is very accurate. The inside of the barrel was a bit rough at first but it polished out. This gun is without a doubt the most accurate 1911 I’ve ever owned and may be the most accurate handgun I’ve ever owned.
