First build

[joeleerj]

I haven't posted for a while. I've been very busy. However, while I was away, I decided to try my hand at building a match grade 1911. I decided to start with a forged frame and slide fron Rmsport. See them @ DSCF0036 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I haved order a Kart Barrel, Wilson Combat beavertail grip safety, and Ed Brown slide stop, thumb safety and internals. I will post pictures as I go.

Complete build, minus the final finish, I'm thinking Brownells bake on finish, What do you think?

purty, how does it shoot?

Thanks, I have put 1 mag throught it , prior to installing sight, just to test function. It shot very smooth, with very mild recoil. I will check accuracy this weekend, since The sight are now installed. I will post the results.
