Has anyone tried to build a 60% frame? If you have, what kind of problems did you run into? I have built a few 1911 type pistols but never a 60%. I have a mill and tools for the job. Thanks!

I'm interested in this as well since I found a place that has 80% frames.

The fixturing and setup take a lot of time.
The actual machining is not that bad for most of the ones I have seen once you get the frame set up on the mill table.

what does the 60% look like?  Who are you getting/gotten it from?

make sure the outside dim's are all to spec first, width and height, sometimes they're not milled down to spec yet.

triple check your measurements on a good set a blueprints.

Also FWIW...I'd not bother doing the ejector pin hole.  I broke a bit off in mine and couldn't get it out

you can complete an 80% with a dremel tool using an adapter and some files
