Instead of creating 100 different threads and beating around the bush, I decided to finally create one thread where I can ask questions about a future 1911 build.
What do you guys think about a Caspian frame? Is there anything wrong with the frame. I don't care about checkering or crazy mag well flares or anything of the sort. I can get a no frills Caspian frame from Brownells for $190. I noticed it doesn't have a plunger tube installed, so I guess I would need the tube and the flaring tool.
Also, I believe that Caspian frame has a feed ramp built into it. The 1911 I've used growing up has the same style. Is this the best way to go? Would it be easier to build a 1911 with a feed ramp built into the frame or as a part of the barrel?
