[QUOTE="doctruptwn, post: 720390, member: 5207"] If your starting with a Caspian, Fusion, or any other reputable Companies Frame and Slide you shouldn't have big issues. Plan on fitting every single piece. With at a minumum polishing with a set of stones, and life gets more difficult from there. Generally the build can be completed with basic tools and a set of stones. If you are doing it to save oney don't, because you won't. If you doing it for the satisfaction and to build on your knowledge go for it. I completed my build with out any fancy jigs or tools. It works great and the accuracy is far in excess of my abilities. My best advice is go slow, read everything you can find about building a 1911, and don't get in a hurry or try short cuts, and lastly, Have a good gunsmith on retainer. Remember, "Drop in parts, Means dropping by the Gunsmith" [/QUOTE]
