[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4040084, member: 42567"] Great post! Those rules still apply. However, a lot of it can be accomplished now using a milling machine, especially the slide to frame fitup. It takes about 100 hours for us to create a competition-grade 1911, including doing the finish. One of the advantages of making our own is that we can customize them to be exactly what we want them to be. And never, never use lapping compound in fitting a 1911. The abrasives become embedded in the metal, and accuracy is lost very quickly. [/QUOTE]
