Here's how my .22 cal 1911 is coming along. So far, I've only ordered the Advantage Arms conversion kit (which is on back order for at least six weeks). My goal is to put the Adv Arms upper on a frame that will last a very long time for under a grand. Have a look at my parts selection: $284.00 Advantage Arms .22 upper shipped with additional magazine $270.00 Caspian Government Recon Receiver in stainless steel $25.00 Integral plunger tube $45.00 Custom serial number $19.50 Mag catch stainless $7.50 Grip screws stainless $7.50 Grip screw bushings stainless $16.50 Slide stop stainless $14.50 Sear $14.50 Disconnector $5.00 Strut $11.50 Pin set stainless $22.00 Ejector stainless $10.00 Shipping $45.00 Transfer Fee $39.99 STI Commander-Style Hammer 1911 Steel in the White http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=732697 $21.49 Cylinder & Slide Videki Trigger 1911 Aluminum Silver http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=540463 $14.99 Sear Spring, Wilson Combat Complete Spring Set 1911 Government http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=207411 $15.99 Chip McCormick Combat or Carry Extended Thumb Safety 1911 Stainless Steel http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=142152 $24.95 Hogue Govt.

Gunsmithing Can you recommend a place to get a decent stainless GI (non beavertail) grip safety as well as a flat serrated mainspring housing? Midway seems to have b-tails and checkered housings only.
