Not a Ruger question but this is the only gun forum that I subscribe to.
I decided to try and build a 1911. Mostly as a hobby project during the lockdown. My progress has not gotten beyond picking out and buying all the parts. As I get ready to do the actual fitting, I'm having second thoughts about doing it myself. It's basically turning out to be my dream 1911 and now I don't want to subject it to a learning curve. Not to mention I have a lot of money invested into it already. Are there any pistolsmiths out there that will build a gun out of a box of parts, or is that insulting to ask of him? It's all high end parts so he won't be working with sub-par materials. I could ask a local gun smith but for what it's turning out to be I'd like it to be done right. I ordered both the frame and slide from Caspian but apparently their gunsmith retired so they don't fit parts anymore.
