After WWII a lot of these guns were Arsenal rebuilt, parts all mixed up, etc. It is your choiceof course, but I would be a little cautious of modifying an original. Any suggestions for custom gunsmiths in the San Francisco/Northern California area (I live in Napa Valley)? Anything that comes to mind that I should consider in this regard?ģ. My goal is to retain it's heritage, but make it more mine, and more usable as a modern gun as well. After it is back in firing condition, I want to get to know it as it is, and then do some customizing on it. Is there anything in particular I should be aware of or ask for/about?Ģ. It has not been fired for probably 30 years, and obviously before I do anything else, I'm going to take it to a gunsmith for a thorough going over. Most of my experience has been with revolvers and 9mm and I have a few questions about this 1911.ġ. He says it was made by Remington-Rand, and knowing that they did make some of the 1911's during the war, I'm assuming he's reading that off the pistol and is correct about it. I am about to inherit my father's WWII 1911 which he got when he was active in the Navy, issued about 1942 or '43.
