I decided to finally start my 1911 build. My goal is to do all the fitting and assembly myself. I headed up to Remsport and picked up some parts. The slide/frame were already pre-fit, as well as the barrel hood to breach face. Other than that, I will be doing the fitting/contouring of everything else. The plan is to have the frame Color Case Hardened, and the slide and all controls blued. I used a pic that Fred Lotter posted as inspiration for this build.
Here is what i have so far:
Remsport Frame (25 LPI front Strap)
Remsport Slide (rear serrations only, Novak cut for front/rear sights)
Remsport Match barrel (with link/pin)
Remsport Barrel bushing
Remsport Beavertail Safety
Here is what I just ordered for parts (should be in by this weekend):
Swenson Match Adjustable Trigger (black with 3 holes)
Cylinder and Slide Tactical Match firing components (4.5# trigger pull)
Wilson combat Hammer Strut
Wilson Combat Tactical Mag Release
Ed Brown Extractor
