This is a 45 that I purchased around 2000 and give it to a good friend in 06. My friend went down the wrong road and before hitting bottom he give me the 45 back . I was pretty impressed he did so as he ws aware he could sell it, it did help him out alot though. A few years later I give it to another friend who helped me out tremendously while removing a huge tree in my yard. He is the friend who passed suddenly, so the 45 is once again home.
The Remington is seen better days and has been refinished with a very nice dark green finish but the letters are nearly gone. It is still a good shooter and functions correctly and fairly accurate.
