Remington 1911R1 Set

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Remington 1911R1 Set

Post by 1967redrider »

I just picked up Standard and Compact Remington 1911R1 folders, and am very pleased. Swapped grips on the Standard version with my Colt 01980 XSE just to see how they would fit an the fit is perfect. According to the paperwork, made in Canada with American steel (440 C). Nice weight and Patent Pending locking mechanism. I might have the pick up some matching grips for the 3, leaning towards black G 10s. Maybe stag would look good too? ::shrug:: Comes in a Remington ammo looking box with a nylon MOLLE compatible sheath and optional clip & Allen wrench. ::tu:: ::tu::

I bought them through dvor.com but they're also available through Optics Planet- http://www.opticsplanet.com/s/remington-1911r1

With Dvor you have to set up a free account to see the prices or make a purchase but they're usually 15-20% cheaper.
