Good Morning All,
I am about to preinherit two 1911 pistol "kits" from my elder brother (I am 60, he is 66). He got the frame and slide at Perry during a match years ago, Caspians and slide fitted to frame. He also has all the other parts needed to build into two pistols. He has decided he has other projects more pressing and is giving the kits to me. I have no understanding of the assembly procedure and do not want to learn it. I am in a position of having funds but not time. Is there anyone in Ohio you might recommend for this task? I do not need someone like Andy Horvath or Jim Clarke, just a knowledgeable 1911 fellow. I was going to join one of the 1911 fora to ask this but I am a member here and respect the knowledge base of this forum.
It is my intention to get these built and return one to him.
As I understand it, each frame has the slide mated to it by the factory and the rest of the parts may or may not need to be fitted. If anyone knows of a builder in Ohio, please, let me know who it is.
Thank you for any insight you have to offer.
Kevin
