Billet 80% 2011 Frames

[bigkahuna04]

Will you offer these with a Para/Clark cut instead of a Wilson/Nowlin cut for the barrels?

[bigkahuna04]

I just read on the Schuemann barrel website that a Wilson/Nowlin configuration can be converted to the Para/Clark/Lissner cut, it would require a little bit of machining.

You can either convert a P/C barrel to W/N, or a W/N frame to P/C. We can only offer W/N at this time.

I'm very interested in building one; but since I'm not very familiar with 2011, can anybody post an overview of what is required to complete the build? How many parts are from standard 1911? And what exactly is required to finish the receiver to 100% functional?

There are only a few parts that separate a 2011 from a 1911.

Mainly:
Grip
Grip Screws
Trigger
Mag Catch
Mainspring housing pin

The rest of the parts are standard 1911, as long as you use a W/N ramped barrel.

The first batch is in and look great! They will be heading out for ano this week. For all that ordered, thank you and expect some phone calls / emails coming your way.

About 20 machined revisions. We added some reinforcement around the frame to make it slightly thicker than a STI. Also, bevels/radii were added in sharp corners that can cause stress fatigue.

All frames will now come with a W/N cut in it for no extra charge. A ramped barrel is a wise idea in any aluminum 1911 to prevent hollow point ammo from gouging the frame. This is one less step needed to be completed by the end user!

We are machining these at full speed right now. Once we obtain a batch, we will check the dimensions and notify everybody that has placed an order.

Did ATF approve cutting the barrel seat? Generally, that's one of the steps they require people to complete themselves on a 1911.

Looks great..can't wait..will the fixtures be shipping with the frames on pre-orders?

[Gordito]

Looking awesome! I'm ready to put my order in and have a couple of dumb questions...

1. Is this equivalent to the 5" STI 2011 frame?
2. Would it be better to do all the milling and then anodize the frame for better strength and durability on the rails?
3. All that needs to be done to finish these are milling out the frame rails and drilling holes for the sear and hammer pins right? (circled in red)

OMG! When am I getting my frames?! I cannot wait!

Nice! Gonna have to order one.

If people would check in here as they receive their frames that would be great.

could we get an answer to this?
is there an ATF Declaration letter available?
