Hey Sam,
One other note, there are three variations of slides on the RRs you need to pull out the old ruler and measure the length of the stamping on the slide. If its 1 and 3/8th its the second type and as Dana said the underline under the O in "NO" would indicate it pre shut down. The gun would have a better value then 500-700. You dont state finish but second type slide, pre shutdown RRs are collectible and can go for more then 700. I have seen as high as 1000 or more....just an fyi (DSK dont like RRs that make him bleed)

Cheers

Hi Sam,
On early RRs could be either on the slide stop. Also could have a singer mainspring housing which would be correct so might want to look close at that, RR used a lot of other contractors stuff in early production. Slide #3 measures 1 inch in length print vs #2 which is 1 3/8. I didnt mention the #3 measurement earlier.

Mag is correct. (L)Little was used by Remington Rand, Ithaca, and US&S

yup! and the only thing left to say is whom else supplied parts.....

They purchased barrels from High Standard, Colt, and Springfield Armory; Disconnectors from US&S; Grips safeties from Colt; and Slide stops from Colt and Springfield Armory

I think this prety much covers everything you want to know about Remington Rand war production!

Cheers
