Does anyone know if there is a 1911 frame and slide machine shop in TN? Now not a shop that could machine 1 for $1,000. I was wondering if there are any companies even in lower volume production. I know Storm Lake is in Lenoir City, TN making barrels, but you would never know you drove by the place if you were not looking for it.

I knew of Predator, but did not know they built complete guns. I will give them a call and try to get over to their shop since it is so close for me.

Mohawk Armory near Greeneville TN

995 Mohawk Creek Rd Midway

Has just started 1911s.

I need to get over there and look one over

Let me (and us) know what you find. I'm really liking that AR lower and would love to see his 1911 Frames. Find out if he's machining them or if they are forged.

Can't vouch for his work personally but you might want to check out Chad Kandros. He's here on TGO under his name. He has posted a few of his guns. Nashville Gunsmith, Hendersonville Gunsmith - Kandros Custom Gunworks

+1 thats who I was going to mention, once I got clarification on the question. Havent seen his stuff in person, but from photos and reveiws, great looking stuff

Mohawk has only made a few (less than 5) 1911's. They will do this, but I got the feeling you would really have to push them to make one for you.

As for the AR lowers. Jim won't sell a lower outright, but pushes his complete rifles. The lowers are forgings that he machines.

Im not clear on your question, are you looking for slides and frames only, or a complete hand fit gun?

I am looking for frames and slides mainly.
