I charge $30 an hour and with quality parts such as Caspian and Advantage Arms I wouldn't expect any more than two to three hours of labor to properly fit and assemble everything.  I would also test fire the gun to ensure proper function (and because that's how I get to try out hundreds of different configurations, hehe...)

If you had already done a 4473 on the frame when you got it, then the assembly is just gunsmithing work and I could even mail the complete gun directly back to you.

Trained myself.  Years of fiddling with them, working on this, working on that, with my own personal guns and ruining a couple of them beyond recognition when I first started.  My shop isn't well known for 1911 work, and that's fine, we are getting a good reputation for AK kit building and the 1911 market is flooded with excellent gunsmiths already.  But what Plaskon needs is a simple assembly, fitting, and test firing of a dedicated .22lr 1911.  There's no reason for him to send the gun to Yost Bonitz or one of those guys and have to wait 6 months and pay hundreds of dollars.

Here's my shop:

Here's a recent batch of AK kit builds for people.  This is where we make our bread and butter.

So as you can see, the 1911 work is just a small part of what we do.  Next up I'm going to fit a Wilson beavertail to an AMT Hardballer.  The Hardballer's grip safety engagement is longer than a standard 1911's (argh, I hate non-spec 1911s sometimes) so I'm going to have to weld an extension onto the Wilson and then grind it to shape.  Oh well, I love a challenge.

I would have liked to attend a gunsmithing school but law school tapped out my finances enough that it wasn't really an option.  So I learned by doing.
