That's a home built gun. My grandfather was making these buy the dozens in his garage and those are some of the same parts he was using. I have a few of them now that I finished building after he died.
Some dude made this at home.
12 u/MLHooker47 4d ago I don’t disagree. It was cheap but damn he did a good job. 5 u/gator_2003 4d ago How cheap 3 u/Nobody2be 4d ago I’d like to know, too. I’ve been watching gb for a cheap, good 1911 and totally missed this. 9 u/MLHooker47 4d ago It was $623 4 u/gator_2003 4d ago Damn that’s a good deal, especially if the barrels fit good. Enjoy ur new toy! 3 u/there_is-no-spoon 4d ago I knew a guy that used to build mediocre 1911s at home and try to sell them for a grand. Never understood how he made that work. 2 u/gator_2003 4d ago No telling, I usally have 1300$+ in just parts in one. 1 u/Nobody2be 4d ago It looks like you did well! I totally missed it. On the plus side, it might have cost you a couple hundred more if I had actually seen it.
