1911 frame distributors....

[superhondaz50]

Anyone know of a 1911 frame maker that is on board with the CFLC and will ship to CA?

1911 frames cannot be sold as a dealer inventory item. They also cannot be imported as a frame since they cannot not be tested and placed on the list. It would have to be a PPT.

for a Mec-Tech not a pistola.

PRKarms will DROS you a 1911 frame as a long gun for a Mech Tech, but they are a little far away. DOn't know of anybody else currently offering that.

Mech-Tech will have a removable mag, pistol grip, semi-auto. Hmmmm... maybe if it has a bullet button.

IIRC, it just takes grinding down the mag release so that it is flush with the frame.

yes it'll have a BB

My work will DROS anything that isn't listed, I just don't know where to get one.

If you can't find any manufacturer willing to ship directly, just run it through a middleman like Freakshow.

Brownells has them. I have some guns to pick up after the Cow Palace show, will ask around since I also have a Mech Tech and want to commit a frame as a long gun.

want to commit a frame as a long gun.

That's the only drawback, once a long gun it can't go back to a pistol format. If you insist it's breaking a federal law or can be legalize as a SBR requiring a tax stamp. That's if you can get it passed here in our great state of Kalifornia.

Agreed. That's why I want to go the dedicated frame route. I have enough spare 1911 parts laying around to furnish all the internals, about my only expense would be the frame itself.
