Custom 1911 From 0% Frame: First Cuts

[@loupuleff571]

Lot of machining and lot's of money tied up in tooling this will help explain the cost of one of these guns not that I want to spend that kind of money but it helps you feel a little better seeing everything that goes into one being built nice work Neil !!

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing this useful information with us. What tool would you use to make the radius all around the handle ?

I’m want one of these fine 1911s one day, all blued. I bought a night hawk custom while on deployment. So maybe soon.

I'm always fascinated by machining. This short video I know is just a demonstration. Approximately how many Operations are involved? Just a ball park for a complete pistol. By the time you get to hand work it does boggle the mind. When you build tooling. Is this done from the perspective of from scratch or you have a concept of, If i could modify this, I could make it do this in a given operation?

Very cool!! Where did you get the forging?

[@sbardellaarms8237]

We buy them from Smith and Wesson. They have a components division that sells parts to other manufacturers.

Wish I could buy one here in the Communist State of California....Governor Newsom says guns are too dangerous.

[@sbardellaarms8237]

Thank you for watching! FYI as of this moment, there has only been one of our guns shipped to California. That gun was allowed in due to a police exemption of the pistol regulations.

@@JohnDoe-l8n Unfortunately the WOKE movement is spreading like a cancer that will eventually kill its host! Just look at what is happening in WA, OR, NM, IL....especially WA and OR which were once great pro 2A States now hijacked by California shitheads!
