Back in the day (mid to late '80's) I too, built M1911's from scratch. Built about 30 or so from pieces and parts I scrounged, bought, traded or was given. Got fairly good at it, if I do say so myself. Much preferred Caspian frames (started out paying $75 NIB for them). Seems as if it would be to much cost and effort to do the same thing now. Last I built was one that my Daughter and Son-In-Law requested as a wedding present about 25 years ago.
