Do I need to buy 50 receivers, then go through the learning process of building a 1911 out of them, with as much mentoring as I can steal from knowledgeable folks and only expect to make a decent one by number 48 or 49, throwing the rest away? There is no real secret knowledge and magic to making a 1911 though propagating that notion is in the best interests of a 1911 gunsmith and custom builder.
Lots of guys build from one receiver and right out of the gate make something better than he can buy from a factory. As or more reliable, as or more accurate...
I bet I am one of the first type of guys though...
Also, I saw a Caspian catalog for a Damascus Steel 1911 slide (and other parts) at the NRA Convention. Purty. I'm gonna get it! Work on it. Then I'll have something that costs $900 to throwaway when I mung it trying to gunsmith on it...
