I was looking at the pieces on sarco

http://www.sarcoinc.com/cgm.html

Parts Kit less slide and frame $116
With slide $186
Or buy a semi-finished slide for $37.50
I don't see a frame listed, but they did have them for about $110 IIRC.
So that totaled $300, or about $265 w/semi-finsihed slide.

I have some machne tools that need a project.
Maybe I'll order a slide first, just to give me a project.
Might better order 2

At any rate, I'm going to Market Hall Sunday.
Maybe someone will be giving away 1911s

I've heard nothing but good about the Taurus. I wasn't really wanting to spend $500 on it, but I'll sleep on that.

My other alternative is to just build one from parts. May do that regardless.

Thanks for the RIA tips, I'll scope that out this weekend.

Can't believe they'd let a gun out with casting imperfections in the feed ramp.
Speaking of which, dooes the RIA have the wide feed ramps, or the narrow military type?

I'd like a basic 1911 to tinker with.
Don't need somebody's safe queen, and I don't mind one that has some problems as long as it's priced accordingly. $300 or less.

If nothing turns up quick I'll likely buy an RIA this weekend at the gun show.
