Is there any company offering a kit with all of the frame parts? I ONLY need the frame parts. |
|
Anything worth doing is worth doing right. I'd call Caspian, I have heard they will sell parts kits, and their parts are know to be good to go while Sarco is known for being bottom of the rung and usually need a fair amount of extra work. If you got the little bit of extra $ I'd go with Caspian. |
I suggested Sarco as the cheapest kit that I know of, not the best. It did go together for me. Time will tell as to how well they stand up. I currently have only about 500 rounds through the first build. |
I've read some negative remarks elsewhere about Sarco... |
|
If you want anything other than the lowest common denominator, rattling, shitty-looking nearly-worn-out parts that look like they were milled by dragging them across concrete, I'd advise looking somewhere besides Sarco. They are OK for a range beater but that's about it. |
I disagree with this statement. I found no used parts, all were new. And most did just drop in, with minimal fitting. Now I'm no Rep. for Sarco, I just happen to have used a couple of the parts kits. Are there better parts, I'm sure there are. But for a 116.00 you can put together a functioning weapon. Will they break sooner than later? Well the jury is still out on that. |
There were definitely used parts in mine, and some that were so shitty I couldn't use them. At the end of the day, it's all luck of the draw. I don't think you can count on getting the same kit twice from Sarco, so that's why I advise staying away. |
Well there is truth in that each kit might be differant! 1st one I got had a flat MShousingand narrow hammer. The 2nd one had an arched housing and wide hammer. Who bags these parts? I'm curious as to how they bag up the individual parts kits? I just used the stuff I wanted out of them anyway, I left the hammers alone, I installed commander style, and GPsafetys, didn't use those either. Mainly pins and springs and barrel.

+1911 george is a good guy and his parts are top quality... |
Your probably right, for that price, you can't expect too much. My plan was always to swap out parts as funds came through, or breakage. |
