Did a search but didn't come up with anything...

Anyone how difficult it would be to do a bobtail conversion on a S&W 1911sc? Would it be cost prohibitive?

Thanks

From what I understand, this is not a diffcult mod for an experienced gunsmith. The alloy that SW uses is not that much different from a traditional alloy frame for a government model. The Scandium just makes it a little more durable, but it is still mostly aluminum with small amounts of other metals thrown in.

Just make sure that the gunsmith has performed this mod before and ask for references!

And of course about the only way to touch up the finish on cut aluminum is with paint. Reanodizing is a large project that few shops will tackle.
