Drinking my self to sleep again so let's post pictures.
Yes i was drinking when i built it so it will need re blued later on.
This is what I started with.
And what it looks like now.
not bad for a $350 including tools to build it, and yes it runs fine with ball ammo i will work on the feed ramp and get it working with hollow points later one.
all i used to build it was a green scratch pad to remove rust form the lower, a small harbor fright file set, some cold bluing, a plunger staking tool, and a dremel tool to polish parts, break cleaner to remove oil when bluing it..
i did replace 2 springs i did not like how it ran so i replaced the main spring to improve the trigger and the recoil spring was to long "and made it cycle slow" so i used a old one had from a rock island that was wore out.
it now has a 3lb trigger pull and cycles fast.
If you want a challenge build a 1911 not one part is going to fit with out some work.
