The barrel for one , check it out yourself
I think I seen somewhere that the lugs are different ..and like skylerbone stated THE VIS is..or was cut different at one time but I think that has been corrected

No offense but Murphy's Guns in Tucson does NOT know their stuff (or they were trying to sell you something). After doing some research the Remington R1 is interchangeable with 1911 parts. It is a true 1911 (not a clone).Ok....When I was considering buying one , the DEALER pulled two guns , stripped them down and SHOWED me the barrel being different. He said remington R1 was basicaly a clone , and Springfiels , kimber , etc were to spec......meaning all the parts were interchangeable ! They talked me out of it ! So , since Im by far NO authority , Im only going on what I was told/shown by Murphy's gun room in Tucson.......and they know their stuff ! The thing that sticks out in my mind was the lugs were diffrent , and the roller on the barrel was larger ???? I SAW it against a springfield "spec" 1911 ! Maybe they did change something ???
