Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build
Since it was already apart I decided to see if the slide from the Para fit. Fits freaking perfect!!. I'm starting to think I might not totally F#@$ this thing up. At this point of a project I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I start making better progress,...we'll see how that...

Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build
So I still have a bunch more to do, but I'm thinking I'm making progress. I'll have a couple hours to work on this thing tomorrow...I think.
I field stripped my commander size 1911 for comparison. (Para Expert Commander) It's also an aluminum receiver (frame).

Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build
So after months of not touching this project I started to get something done on it again. Not sure how much I'll get done, I've got a lot of "real work" to get done...and I've been pretty lazy lately. Just finished up a 2 month job that I'm seriously glad is done and gone. Nothing was done...

Re: Chopping a garage
How do you get those things? There's gotta be a million empty ones in the USA.

Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build
Great thread, I'm enjoying seeing how you clamp and fixture. Comments about using pins for indexing are good to hear, gives me some insight about how the process goes. Thanks... I've got a full set of prints along with the CAD files. The prints show one of the holes as a main datum point that all t...

Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build
I admire the work you're putting into this. Holding it is one thing...squareing it, verifying, resetting your datum and checking again so you don't scrap all work to date is a chore that requires patience and "skill". My father had been building an alum compression arm since the 60's. He ...

Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build
It is a sweet treet to see this progress. My father said in job shoping he could always underbid since everyone else included the price of fixturing. He developed a style of workholding using modular clamping. Oddly enough, even when he started doing volume, he would still setup modular workholding...

Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build
Couple pics. There's a funky undercut deep in the magazine slot for the trigger bow. Doesn't really show up in the pics.
