| Can a gunsmith take a para ordnance p14 pistol lower assembly and somehow take parts from springfield and turn it into a v16 long slide? I am thinking of this so i could have a high capacity v16 instead of the standard 7+1 capacity it has |

I am not a gunsmith, but I own / have owned both pistol. I don't know if you would have a problem or not, but the Para-Ord is made for Series-80 and the Springfield is made for Series 70. I have a catalog from '99 or '00 and it shows that Springfield has a high cap frame, maybe there custom shop could build the pistol that you want. |
| I had a colt slide on my para and it worked just fine but you have to have a ramped barel for a para lower or was it I had a p14 upper on a tompson lower hell I don't rember but I do know it can be done. OK Im almost positive that you don't need a ramped barel after I think about it.p14 lower springfield upper yes It will work!! |

You can use the product at the below link to ditch the series 80 trigger parts. All paras (except for F-series gunsmith kits and then only as an option) will need a ramped barrel, as that is how the frames are cut. I suppose you will have to find an extended ramped barrel.
