The “BOMB” proof 1911 project
Based on the “Let’s build an Extreme use AR” thread , I Thought there should be a similar thread applied to the 1911. With permission from the admin’s, let’s get started.
The ultimate goal of this project is for a Reliable, Durable, Accurate, and Police/Soldier proof 1911. The build is for a combat 1911, with some refinements, I’m not looking to build a race gun. Please understand that I am personally building this and it will be built as time, finances, and parts are acquired. With that in mind I would like to know how you would build this 1911. I would like to hear what parts you would use if this was your project. If you would use MIM vs. Milled/CNC parts. What brand of certain parts and why, ie… Wilson Combat’s value line™ vs. Bullet Proof™, or does it matter with something like grip screws.
The Skeleton for this project is a stripped SS Caspian “Recon” frame, and stripped Caspian slide that is matched to the frame. The slide uses an external extractor and a 38 super type firing pin, which I already have. The slide is cut for NOVAK® sights front and rear. The Plunger tube was installed at the factory. This frame/slide has the ability to be built as either a series 70 or 80 style.
Parts list
Barrel, Barrel bushing, Link pin, Recoil guide rod, Springs, Pins, Trigger, Hammer, hammer strut, Sear, Disconnector, Grip Safety, Thumb Safety, Mainspring Housing, Grip Escussions, Grip Screws, Grips, Magazine Catch, Slide Stop/Release, Sights, and this list would not be complete without Magazines.
