Hivemind - Starting from scratch, what basic 1911 would one use to start a MEU(SOC) build. If it doesn't have front cocking serations on the slide, what would be the solution to getting them there? Smith or replacement? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
| If you want to do it like the originals, you get a WWII GI frame then a SA slide. There's actually a good Wikipedia article on it with all various parts and iterations. Apparently they used Caspians for some. If I can't find a WWII frame to start mine, I'll probably get a caspian. |

Smith or replacement? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Fusion is who I would choose for a MEUSOC build. I have thought about what it takes from an Operator's point of view. Looked at Springfield, Colt, STI, and Caspian, and the most logical to me is Fusion because of the many options offered to tailor to an Operator's specific tactical needs.... |
| I bought a used SA Milspec from Gun Broker for my clone. I don't have the time nor the skills to do the work myself, so I sent it off to the SA Custom shop. They milled the front cocking serrations and of course did a great job, I'm one of those that prefer the FCS. Are you going to do the work yourself? Good luck with it and don't forget to post pics. |
