See if advanced tactical still has the 1911A2 frames in stock. They're para pattern frames. Grip screw spacing is 1911A2 specific. Para ones can be modded.

I checked their website and didn't see any frames at all. There's a ton of different manufacturers on gunbroker, but I'm not sure which one to lean towards. |

It would appear that all of the frames need to have 4 critical functions of manufacturing left, with some frames requiring a barrel channel and no decking, or, they require decking and no barrel channel.
With that I mind, the aluminum frames made to require the barrel channel and no decking appear.to be the only way you can make one at home without a considerable amount of milling tools. The Stealth Arms Jig and tool kit is what you'd need. It's about a $450 adventure from what I can find. |

If you take your time with cutting to the correct depth and have a few extra cutters on hand you can even finish off a steel frame. |

I'd be using a GG3 to eventually finish the frame when I get around to doing it. I'd prefer steel, but am open to aluminum.
I was mainly trying to pick up one of each before the new law goes into effect.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Policy not law Correct. Still stupid as hell that it's happening, but that's what's sparked this interest in a 1911/2011 build. |

Just a note that I wore out a GG3 spindle belt working 7075 aluminum lowers, so a steel frame is going to be really slow going (and at some point, I'm probably going to try it as well).

Dont send money to black mountain. I emailed them when they said out of stock and they said they where is stock, and suddenly the site showed 4 in stock. It did say shipping in 4 weeks and I ordered one. At one month I emailed, no reply, at 6 weeks I emailed and no reply. I took it to paypal, after 10 days they did not respond to paypal and I got my money back.

This is good to think about. I haven't taken possession of my GG3 yet, but I may look into ordering spares. I don't see them listed on their website. Where did you happen to pick up a replacement at?

Any alternatives that you've found to a 2011 80% frame? |

The Defense Distributed site has some spares, and that is one of the items stocked.

Limited 10 was the only one I can recall making an 80% 2011 frame....and IIRC there were issues with them as a company

Stealth Arms dropped about 10 of their 80% 1911 frames to $100 or less. For example the government size bobtails with rails and the matched bobtail msh were $100 as a few minutes ago.
Some models are still at the $150-175 discount price. ...wonder if they'll drop more over the next few days but I guess you risk selling out. |
