Sounds like the original oil that was put on it may have started to turn to varnish. No telling how big a run they make on these things, but CDNN has got to be selling them left and right. I remember ordering mine December 1st in 2015 for the ridiculous price of $369.00, and CDNN has kept that pric...

Dang he is lucky to keep all his fingers!!!!

Happy to hear that you found out who has been going through you stuff and it was not some one that you shared your vast knowledge with. Hope that all will turn up and a positive outcome will be had for you.

There is a guy who uses Freedom munitions in our Wednesday night league and every one of his cases has the damn shoulder in it. I keep it for scrap but will not use it for loading.

I doubt it is a real bid but it is up to $63,039,000

Full disclosure I stole the fallowing from Vlad our former RO in charge and updated the information Morning, I hope that this finds you all well! The Wednesday Night Pistol League will be starting up again at ICSC on Tuesday May 11 and then going forward. I attached the rules that we are using this ...

THE DEAD HAS RISEN!!!!

You do know this was like 4 years ago. If the OP still needed help with this, it is a lost cause!

Good to see that some one had common sense when they made up this booklet.

Grips look great. If you go to Stealth Arms .com you can get everything you would need to build one. They have 2 different jigs to finish the frame, one if you have a mill and one if you do not. I used the one that did not need a mill.

Sorry I have not been on here for awhile. I ran 100 rounds down it last weekend with no hiccups at all. I want to still work on the trigger as it is heavy but otherwise it's great! I would highly recommend to any one wanting to do this to read up a bit, watch some videos on what you need to do, then...

Well thanks Sam. I like to at least think I am smart enough to look into and learn what I need to do to not screw things to bad. If I get into something I am unsure of I stop and ask questions and figure out what needs to be done before moving on. I also feel I have above average mechanical skills t...

Here she is getting all dressed up in cerakote!

What did you need for tools/jigs for this endeavor? I used the jig in the 2nd link in the OP to cut the frame. It is what they call the phantom jig. It basically is two aluminum plates that has a slot on each side where the rails need to be cut. Then there is a third aluminum plate that slides in t...

Yes it is.

If you click on the links on the first page it will tell you. I bought the complete kit and had to buy the jig separately for about $1300. So by no means is this a cheap way of getting a 1911. But that is not why I did it. I wanted to build one and learn a bunch in the process. This gun is very tigh...
