Title: 1911r1
Post by: Jerbear on May 07, 2010, 11:56:45 PM: Got my monthly email from Remington yesterday. The showed a picture, and the specs on the new Remington 1911R1. Good looking weapon and with a msrp of 699.00, it is affordable. Don't know what they will retail for, but is usually cheaper than the msrp, Take a look at
1911r1.com

There's a deal on the Remington sight if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the FAQ page on the right where it says something to the effect of them building the gun to Remington's specs.
:dunno:
Google is my friend.
