Graycrait's latest project - not a .22LR sort of

[graycrait]

about 2 yrs ago I acquired most of a Springfield Loaded in a box of parts.  Leastways I know the barrel, slide and frame where a Loaded.  So I put the frame together to accommodate my Nelson .22 1911 conversion.  The frame has a 2.75lb trigger that works great with the .22LR conversion. I pulled out the bag of .45 slide parts the other day and discovered I was missing some stuff to make this a fully functional 1911 in .45ACP.  It also came with a SA one-piece guide rod - which I hate.  So got a new extractor, slide release/lock lever, and all the other slide parts except barrel and sights from MIdway.   Converted it to GI recoil system.  So here it is, nothing sexy or special, just works now with either .45acp or .22lr. Night sights too on the .45acp upper!

When did you get a silencer? I know you were not wanting to get into the NFA game yet.
