Here is a real series 70, WWII edition. Every single part is correct, not a rework. From the original owner, a tanker in WWII. Five correct magazines, etc. Shot and it works flawlessly. What magnificent piece of history.

Very nice!!
But, Series 70 has nothing to do with it.
It is a military 1911A1 made by the Remington-Rand typewriter company in 1945.
25 years before the Series 70 Colt was thought of..
The M1Carbine bayonet is nice too.
Who made it??
PS: Your R marked mags were made by Risdon, not Remington-Rand.
The L marked mags were made by Little Mags.
All are period correct, and correct for the Remington-Rand pistol.

I know, but the newbes these days don't. So it's a Series 70 to them. The baynet is a Camillus.

Fantastic find and everything is in such great condition; looks like it was just issued!

Remington-Rand 1911A1
Nice Remington-Rand. Glad to see you shot it. Wont hurt a thing. I turned mine into a Bullseye pistol back in the 60's. I picked it up for $45 one night at the indoor pistol range. Years later,sold it to a guy that was going to make it original again. Not easy to do when the new target front sight is peened and brazed in.

If it is a series 70, are those clips?

What a great representation of a true and classic MilSurp 1911. Thanks for sharing. If only your 1911 could talk...

These days 1911's fall into two very simple categories:
1. Guns with stupid, nay useless, firing pin blocks are what is commonly called Series 80
2. Guns produced as God and John Moses Browning intended without firing pin blocks are commonly referred to as Series 70
No firing pin block? It's Series 70 just like every single other 1911 ever made between the year 1911 and infinity.

Clips / Magazines - Most people understand what you mean. Working in the store everyday I found all you do is piss people off correcting them on trivial stuff like this. So as long as there is no harm I let it slide. Just one of many gun related things I have learned not to let bother me after selling guns retail for the last six years.
