| Has anyone had experience with these $37 90% finished slides at sarco? I'm trying to put together a 1911 for cheap, and I've been looking around for a cheap slide. |
Again, it all comes down to if the slides are casted or forged/bar stock. www.dawsonprecision.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=FRAMES+%26+SLIDES |

I just ordered two... I've been toying with the idea for a while now, and well...why not? If nothing else I can practice milling and fitting sights into one  Once I get them (they said 1-2 week delivery time) I'll take photos (if some aren't already here), and post them. For $35 (that was the price they quoted to me) each, I figured even if they suck...I could always use 'em as ..something else, I guess. |
So that's how they look coming from Sarco? Do they look like they're Colt-made? The serrations don't exactily look Colt-like...but I didn't think these came with serrations? Hmm...mine are still on their way here  |

Got mine in today, and agreed...the two holes up front are WAY big, and mine don't look like they were finished/cleaned out; i.e. there was a good bit of flashing in those two holes that I need to trim/file out. Everything else on them looks machined, though. Perhaps they were Gold Cup slides that went awry? The serrations fit, the relativly high wall with the scallop seems to fit as well.. Otherwise, I was able to drop in a barrel, and a bushing, and they both seemed to fit in fine. Obviously I didn't check to see how proper lockup was or anything, but...it should make an interesting diversion! |
