1911 Build: Parts List
The frame is a Caspian Basic in carbon steel. I've reported that.
The slide is an STI 5" "Unique" cut. The slide is milled for a Bo-Mar type adjustable rear sight, and a dovetail front sight. It has a flat top and front cocking serrations. It was made to order, and took a few weeks.
The rest of the parts are as follows.

Except for the hammer pin which came with the thumb safety, and the barrel link pin which came with the barrel, the pins and plungers all came in a set.
Some parts were borrowed from a Kimber 1911, until I get around to buying the rest of the parts.
Barrel, bushing, link, and link pin all came as a set.
Hammer, sear, and disconnector came as a set.
* - all STI Slides are set-up for .38Super/9mm firing pins

at what stage is this 1911 build? I would like to see pics.
I have posted a lot of information, and some pictures in the past.
My latest post, "1911 Build Index," has links to these posts.
I'll go back through the posts and add links to the index.
I had plans to do this earlier, but just hadn't gotten around to it.
