[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Building a lower..

Posted: 3/7/2012 11:05:47 AM EDT

How do you go about building a lower for one? Is it like the ar15 where you get a stripped lower and then a parts kit? Where do you get stripped lowers?

I may be getting a Marvel conversion for my Kimber, and eventually would like to build a lower for it so its a very nice high quality 22lr 1911.

Thanks!

1911's are nearly as simple as an ar- they will almost invariably require tinkering and fitting to get it right.

It's called a "frame".

Doing it right ain't cheap!

Ok so would you guys say it is cheaper to just buy a cheap 1911 like a RI GI Spec and then just use that frame with the internals and then get a trigger job done?

Basically I am just trying to figure out the best way to go about building a complete gun using the Marvel 22 conversion. They are insane accurate. If I was not after bullseye style accuracy, I would get the GSG or Sig 1911-22's.
