land of milk and honey
starting this a little late.
already into the build.
son gave me a aluminum 80% 1911 frame for father's day. i own a few store bought 1911's. my favorite handgun.
he has built a few. he gave me his steath arms jig to use.
bought the mil. spec upper and and parts kit from sarcos in easton pa. great place. use to go to it in nj, before they moved to a better gun state.
well figured yesterday was a good time to start.
the instructions are well written. the jig is easy to use. first thing is drilling the holes, easy and done.....
just like doing an ar 80%.
the cutting tool is easy to use. just follow the instuction for set up.
too about 15 minutes to cut the rail one side and another 15 to do the other side. kept using the mic. to check the depth of the cut.
got it within a 1000th on both sides.
tried the side on the frame, a tad tight.
some 220 sand paper and then some 320 and 600 lapping compound, and the slide is smooth as silk.....
will try and remember to take more pictures as i build it.
