Here's the deal, I need a pistol and would prefer a 1911 due to the large round and the parts availability.I will probably be going with a standard parts kit and my only real issue is the frame. I would like to keep the cost to a minimum. The way I see it I have three options:
- buy a finished frame ( I would prefer not to have to fill out all the paperwork)
- buy a 80% finished frame and finish it myself
- custom mill one with a set of blueprints I found online
I have a friend whose dad owns a fabrication shop so milling probably wouldn't be a problem.
Has anyone ever milled their own frame or finished an 80% frame?
Any help is appreciated.
