1911 60% Frames

[liber]

They still had to have the sides ground to the proper dimension and all the remaining holes and main spring slots milled along with all the remaining features milled.

Getting the dimensions correct on some of the frames is a lot of work, depends how far off they are. The ones I had were at least symmetrical, I've seen some of the Sarco and Para frames that looked like trapazoids from the bottom and/or top...those will never be able to get correct without a lot of work.

As stated above, the price of all the tooling alone will make most pass on any 0% castings along with the milling process to complete. ( It can be done if you have enough patience and time) (And at 74 that's about all I have.)

That link I posted above where a guy did a frame and slide from billet, he ended up buying a surface grinder to create some of the tools as it was cheaper for him to do that then buy all the specific cutters. He did get it done.
