About a month ago I purchased a new no name 4" slide with front and rear serations from a gun show.
It was on a private table so the price was really nice at $80, it has a parked finish and is extremely
great looking. I think I got a great deal, having said that it is a 80 series slide with a internal extractor.
Even better for me. I am about to purchase a frame for it from a company called DoubleStar, I know they
make a great lower for AR's, so I expect the same thing.
I have owned three 1911's in the past but currently I do not have one because I got tired of factory guns.
I am planning on droping most of the internal parts from WilsonCombat and ChipMccormick, so I also
expect a good blaster.
I have tore down all my 1911's 100% and I am very fimiliar with the internals but I have never put one together
from scratch or basically buying seperate parts and slapping them together..........
What I am looking at? What kind of major tinkering am I looking at? I heard most 1911's need major
smithing to get them together and function.
Is this true, or did I waste my money on the slide?
I really want tp put one together but I dont want to smith on this until I am blue in the face, builders help me out please.
