Hi,
Having a crazy thought and this seems to be the place to talk about it. I want to get an Aluminum 80% 1911 frame, finish it, put in trigger group, safety, frame parts, and a 22 conversion kit. Fair weight, AL wouldn't be battered by 22, pretty low cost, and fun to build it yourself.
Now....would this be feasible from the stand point that the accuracy needed in finishing the rails isn't going to be a critical vs a centerfire gun? or does the 22 kit still require tight tolerances on the slide to frame fit?
Just thinking it would be a fun plinker to build up and have to train newbies with.
Thanks in advance if you can provide any thoughts, insight, suggestions, etc.
