Laws don't tell you what you CAN do, they tell you what you CANNOT do. Unless expressly prohibited by law, it is still our god given right to do what we want to. (for now)

so with the Ares 1911 frames coming to the market soon, maybe it's the right time to ask this question. Most people will probably use a 5" barrel for their 1911, but don't you need a 6" + barrel for a single shot pistol? I mean that's why when you go to a shop and they provide SSE service, you first "walk out" with a long barrel and sled, right? Will this also be the case for "building" your own 1911 for the first time vs. converting an existing gun.
