No HQL? No Problem!

Jigs will be out in a few weeks. Make your own jamomatic 1911

This looks very interesting. Now we just need someone to finish one and give us a review!

Very nice! I aspire to build my own 1911 one day! Right now though anything past a field strip frightens me

...I did watch a few of the Wilson Combat videos where a master 1911 smith does a detailed take down and re-assembly, very interesting, some pretty small parts in there!

GB anybody?

I'd up for a couple of frames if someone can point me to where I can get parts kits to fit them out.

Well I like the idea... But, why did they not machine the rails and barrel seat and leave enough holes not drilled to make the eighty percent requirement? A jig to drill holes would be much more simple than having to cut the rails. I foresee some real shitty loose rail cuts which are a dangerous thing to mess with. Many who will undertake this project are just not going to do it properly. That translates to some dangerous firearms. Cutting a hole for a FCG on an AR is not as crucial as those rails. Cut the rails to deep and you may have a slide in the face on the first magazine.

I hope I'm wrong... But, I know how people fudge things. Therefore I have serious concerns about this.

oh what? We have to cut the freaking rails?

Do you have any idea how hard that's going to be?

From the pictures, the frame machining looks a bit rough.

Can see the semi-circle mill marks. Hope they don't ship looking like that.
