"If you want a quick build, buy very expensive parts like Sig."
I know where you are headed with this but some of those Sig parts are not as good as McCormick or Wilson Value line parts. And their beavertail contour is one of the worst, in my experience. I wouldn't categorically equate expensive Sig with drop in proper fit. Virtual no 1911 parts are. I have a Sig pistol to prove it. Nice gun, but they just need to finish the approach and carry it out.
In reference to the previous post, one other modification, perhaps two if need be, which must be done to a frame are setting the barrel bed and perhaps the VIS when timing the barrel (if not very minor other methods may be done to accomplish this). Feedramp cutting is best done utilizing the services of a smith with a mill. It can be done otherwise but is very long, tedious and risky.
