seriously if you want to build a great single stack 1911 (which is quite a bit more involved than a AR as there is a lot more hand fitting) I built my first one about 15 years ago and all the tools I had were files and sandpaper it took me about 3 months to get everything fit properly and it cost me $275 I sold it about 5 years ago (hit a rough patch) for $550 now I have a lug cutter, hammer sear jigs, dremmel tools, air files, drill press, etc etc and I can knock one out in a few days but I have built dozens it is a good project and there is nothing like a well built 1911 I'm sending off my para to be refinished and the new one I'm thinking of buying a electroless nickle setup and trying my hand at that if it works well I will be doing a few of mine and a whole lot of my friends guns
serious price for a decent tactical carry ultra reliable 1911 600-800$ buying one already built from clark, wilson, kimber, 1000-2500$
If you just want a starter complete pistol look at rock island armory you can pick these up for right at $500 in blue and they are G.I. spec so you can mod the shit outta it but still is fun to shoot |

Are you following me around on XDTalk.com !? I swear ... Today in the AR section someone has posted this damn link three times. It's been out for a while and they are taking forever to ship out. I'm thinking about just having someone do some laser engraving on one of mine so that way I can put something of my own on it. |

I cleaned the Maadi after I took these pics, and the new furniture should be shipping out soon.
