Finally got around to finishing one of my Stealth Arms frames. Used a 1911a1 kit from Sarco from when they had a sale. Now I need to try it out.

Nice!

How difficult was cutting the tracks for the slide to ride in?

 

[metalman3006]

Very easy with their jig. Just go slowly.

A simple test to see if it's put together right is to drop a glue stick down the barrel and see if the firing pin will shoot the glue stick a few yards. If it does that, it will probably fire a round when you get a chance to test it out.

Out of glue sticks but it did shoot a pencil halfway across the room.

After wasting a range trip, i do this every time i clean mine.

Aluminum frame?
When do you think you will shoot it?

I built mine with an aluminum frame. Hundreds of rounds through it and no problems other than it doesn't particularly like flat nose ammo.
