I remember gun parts corp having "1911 carbine kits" years ago that consisted of a 16" barrel and a stock. It looked very interesting but I never tried one.

I don't see how it could possibly work good with the tilting barrel. Seems like a lot of wear on the parts even if it would cycle. A Dillinger style 1911 would be cool with a front grip though. |

Yes, that's the one! Where did you get that kit? Have you tried it out?

About 6 months before i decided to get a 1911. I'll touch bases with him and see if he's done anything with it yet. if so hopefully he'll post a pic or 2 |

I remember seeing them in the gun parts magazines as a kid. I think they advertised as "artillery officer 1911 WW1 kits." I think it was pretty cheap too. Something like 20 bucks comes to mind.

I built that parts kit out into a functioning firearm. Maybe pics later if I get a chance.
