Would you buy a CMP Remington Rand for $1450

[Mark_Mark]

here is a strange one that I’ve never seen before. It just came into my shop. A Remington ran CMP. What do you guys think?

Those things sell for what to me is insane prices these days. Makes me cringe to think of how many I had back then they were so common. While I would not pay that for one they do sell quite well in that nice a shape.

I believe RR produced more wartime 1911A1s than any other manufacturer. Not rare, exactly- just seldom seen these days outside of high-end collections and auctions.

Last time I saw one in the wild, that was about on par with what they were asking.

As a kinda macabre sidenote, the FJA stands for Frank J Atwood, who's office was responsible for inspecting many wartime ordnance products made on the East coast. He died in 1979.
His son, FJA Jr, was convicted of kidnapping and murdering an 8-year old girl in 1984. He was finally executed in 2021.

I'd be all over that Bernadelli M69 in the case underneath the 1911. What were they asking for that?

They have a rather distinctive silhouette. Never owned one, but somehow wound up with a magazine for one.

My initial feeling is that the Remington Rand is overpriced, for that condition. But the market has been escalating rapidly these last few years.

I wouldn't buy it, simply because I already have one in exc ++ condition.

I think there is a market for well aged Service guns. I really like the old look.

what you guys think about turning that Remington Ran into a project gun like this???

Needs powdercoating.

 

[Mars5l]

They are only going to go up in value unless another million end up being surplused

Nobody thinks it’s cool except me and Jarod

I remember them being around $500 in the 90s. Gas was $1.20 then, and is almost 3x that today.

I'd offer $1350.

I remember Gas being $.65 at Dodgers Gas & Chicken at North Myrtle Beach 1996

gizzards were more expensive than gas

If it's a CMP 1911 looks like a field grade. 1050 or 1150 Depending on which round it was purchased. Now parts play into values as well. After war Replacement barrel and all that factors in. Depends on how bad you want it. That's max out price imo and I personally would pass. Some don't care they just want a WW been there done that 1911...

That's about what the current CMP lottery version are going for. So, dunno. The Typewriter folk built some outstanding firearms in their days.

1050 to 1150 - then $1450 is not so bad. Someone gotta make a buck. I never seen one in the wild. It does come with all the CMP paper work. I like it

Dealer didn’t have time to really go thur it. He said the slide & frame is RR but the barrel was not the original Savage (I believe) barrel & mag is something else
