[ This looks like it's addressed to me, but it sounds like someone out there
would be able to answer this better than I. I've never assembled my own
1911. -jh ]

Would you make a list of where to "cheaply" buy the major pieces of a 1911
suitably "well-made" so I/we might be able to assemble  it.  You brought
this up, I hope you can find the time to go through a fairly recent
Shotgun News and list your favourite "Parts" shop.  I'd like to have a mostly/
completely stainless one with the long slide ( I think ).  I've looked a
many automatics and the only one that was impressive was the "Grizzly", but
I've read enough to know that the Govt model is "ok".  I once worked at the
Ceramics Shop portion of "Christy Gun Works" and they made every piece of
the luger, but they couldn't sell "all" the pieces to one customer at one
address.  Is there some sort of regulation still in place which makes it
unlikely that I can buy all the pieces at one place?  Is there any advantage
to buying pieces as opposed to >$500 at some dealer somewhere?

Thanks for considering this.
