Hey guys,
I gotta question about obviously a slide, specifically slide markings. couple years back my boss bought a remington Rand 1911A1 at first glance I noticed several things wrong with it. flared and lowered ejection port, incorrect sights, Stainless barrel and full length guide rod and it had be polished and blued. 
so fast forward to this past week, my boss call and says he found a remington rand slide at a shop in Georgia, he wanted to know what I thought about swapping slides and having the whole gun reparked. sounded like a good idea to me. so today he brings me the slide and the complete pistol to disassemble and install new to him slide. I get to looking at the slide and notice that the markings aren't quite right and the slide has some very light pitting on the high spots. 
This is the slide he bought The markings look like they were routed or cut into the slide vs. being stamped into it like the original slide. 
This is the original slide, of course its not in original condition. so my question is did my Boss get ripped off with a bad clone slide or is this slide potentially correct? I don't want to swap parts and send it off to be reparked if its not right. Thanks for you help, Jason |
