Jan 1, 2012 · Hi Steve. I worked on a few 1911s Built many scope mounts for them. The barrel defiantly is at an angle. If putting a scope mount on the slide and it's parallel the scope will run out of "elevation" adjustment (actually it will be too high and can't be lowered enough) I attached a photo of a 1911 I built for my son, Caspian Frame and slide with a …

Jun 25, 2021 · Run a search for “redux 1911 prints” I printed out the pdf pages and keep handy. They are modern CAD color re draws of original prints that are hard to find. By the way the top of the slide slopes toward the muzzle end. So not parallel with the bottom rails.

Apr 6, 2020 · As an Aerospace cnc job shop owner and firearm enthusiast, I have always wanted to produce a line of 1911 handguns. Well, the time has come and I have started a company called Sbardella Arms. We are currently tooling up a Matsuura MC800-VF with 4th axis to machine the slides from 4140 forgings.

Apr 16, 2016 · Several of my other 1911's are probably a smidge tighter. It's just that this one seems suspiciously smooth for as tight as it is. The point of getting it that tight hasn't got anything to do with the frame moving (or not) during firing, the point is to control where the barrel and slide come to rest relative to each other at lockup, after the ...

Jun 27, 2010 · I know most people buy a forged or cast slide and frame, and have seen a few excellent machinists build their own frames, but have yet to find anyone attempting mill their own slides. What I was really looking for is to try to mill a very long slide for a 1911 to accomadate and 8" barrel. First attempt will be in .45 ACP.

Jun 25, 2008 · Caspian makes quality frames and slides which are used as the starting point by lots of custom pistolsmiths. Les Baer, Wilson... there are others. Cylinder & Slide is a good source of quality parts for the innards. There are also quality parts available from Ed …

Mar 20, 2011 · My only real dislike on the slide is the Bo-mar sight cuts, mainly because I had already bought Kimber style Trijicon night sights so it just means I will have to build another 1911 to use those.

Jul 15, 2023 · Looking at slides for a Glock 20L (10mm) pistol build. As far as handguns go, this is a pretty high-power application. The main manufacturers of these slides use either 416 (SUS416 or 416R) or 17-4 stainless. Those who use 17-4 say …

May 29, 2020 · I am in the process of machining a 1911 slide from 4140 ph and will be doing a 7075 t6 frame next. If anyone wants to follow along I have a thread on the homegunsmith forum in the 1911 section. If there is any interest I could update here too. I have been working on it couple hrs per night for 3 weeks. Thanks for looking.

Dec 4, 2010 · The one shown it simply is put there because the conversion is intended to slide onto a 1911 frame. I made the 1911 ejector to work yet the ejection location is in the same place as the barrel mounted ejector. I used a dedicated frame, ejector would have to be removed and replace with 1911 style to install 1911 slide.
