80% 1911 Officer's frames ??

[ILVSMOG]

Does anybody offer an Officer's size 1911 frame? I've got a Caspian 4.25" slide and I've been wanting to finish a CCO build for a while.

Check e-Sarco: http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/80-lower-f...rip-frame.aspx looks like what you need.

A 0% frame?

Check with Maverick to verify whether these are 4.25" or 4.5". They list it as an Officer.

LOL, I just noticed that I flubbed the title. That's too funny.

If it's bobbed, it's a full size frame. Can't bob an Officer frame, there's no shorter mainspring housing to use.

That looks about like what I'm looking for. I'd love to find one in stainless, but there seem to be limited options. What/whose jigs work with the e-sarco frames?

That sarco frame look like way better quality than the tm junk

Mavrick Arms has had bob tailed Commanders for certain. Those aren't full size. He has some Commanders listed, but only in kit right now. Commander has a 4.25" barrel. That frame looks the same to me, but not listed as a Commander.

Anyway, it seems you found what you're looking for at <gasp> Sarco.

Looks like it needs a lot more work done to it, measuring, creative milling for some of it, etc...

Just as a side to my comments on the Sarco frame. No hammer or sear pin which is common, these can be done on most of the jigs. It doesn't show if it has the frame safety lever cutout, this requires a couple different end mill cuts, one at a specific angle. No plunger tube mounting holes, probably no disconnect or ejector holes. No mainspring housing pin holes, and I would guess no slots for the mainspring housing. Barrel bed, possibly decking, etc...

This is all work that can be done, but there aren't jigs to do that.

While the TM frames have some quirks, I think they are light years ahead of most all of the Sarco frames.

The frames that are rumored to be done by Dasan in Georgia look good. I think that is what Maverick Arms has. I haven't seen one.

From their web-site they say this is what is required to finish the frames.
Slide rails, hammer & sear pin holes, mainspring housing retaining pin, and ejector leg holes remain to be applied

Both the commander and the officers models were made from full sized government frame up to 10 years ago or less as there was not any raw material (castings or forgings) for officers only.

To make the officers you mill the recoil shoulder back .090" or so depending on slide. Cut the dust cover to match the slide. Cut the grip per the print. Weld on steel plates in the grip. Drill and tap new grip screw bushings.
