Some may have noticed I have, at times, slammed the 1911 as being an obolete style firearm. I stick to that opinion. However, I am a history buff and agree the 1911 to be an icon to American gun enthusiasts. Now, 'just because' I have a hankering to build a 1911 from parts. I am slightly handy fixing things on guns. Not a gunsmith and don't claim to be. Just kinda handy. My shop is not a machine shop, all woodworking. I know I would have to buy a few hand tools for the job, thats OK.
Question is: how difficult an undertaking would this project be? Do you reccomend for someone with a skill level of, say, 5 on a 10 scale? And, would there be a money savings doing this?
