I remember seeing this offered some years ago (Brownells IIRC), when I had the Colt SM ACE, but before I snagged a Series 70 .45acp top end as a conversion unit a few years later.

Of course, when I looked again, it was no where to be found.

Is there anything similar in the market,or, a solution? I'd really like to have it all in one place.

Thanks,
Rob

It’s a mystery to me.
Pics ?

Nope, no pics, I just remember it from an old Brownells Big Book that got destroyed in Hurricane Wilma before we moved to SC in 2007. When we got settled in and I finally ordered another Big Book, it was no longer listed.

Had the donor pistol below, along with cut-outs for a mag and the conversion kit above. Had cut-outs for the slide/mag and small parts above the donor pistol.

Slightly different now, since the donor pistol is the .22lr (Service Model ACE), and the conversion is a Series 70 .45acp, top end. The only thing that is different is, that the ACE requires a different slide stop (marked with a #2), to work with the ACE mags. This is very rare and not cheap to replace. I was quoted $65+shipping several years ago, so, I have no spare. The slide stop for the .45acp (overpolished and ruined), cost a whopping $12, shipped, for a NOS part. Quite a difference! Loss is the biggest worry over actually wearing one out, but I always keep the ACE assembled and the .45acp top end as a "if needed" accessory. I've got other 1911s to shoot.

Got a feeling it's going to be a Pelican case if they still offer the custom laser cutting of the foam inserts for their cases.

Anyone have any experience with this service? It would be appreciated.

Thank you!
Rob
