Who has done a 1911 build, starting from a basic frame and building up to a complete custom pistol. I am thinking about jumping into this pond but don't know how difficult it will be to swim. I've seen the slides and frames and every other part I need to build a 1911 in gunsmithing catalogs and premium gun maker catalogs. How hard would it be to build a tight, Les Baer type, 1911? If anybody has experience let me know.
I am somewhat mechanically inclined but i don't work with my hands for a living(I'm a numbers guy), thus my labor/technical abilies would probalby be considered medocre.
The reason i would like to build is for the satifiaction of making a great firearm.
Any input from those who have tried and those who have been succesfull would be greatly apprecitated.
Thanks
