I have the opportunity to buy the Caspian frame in the picture below. It appears to to be a basic carbon steel government frame with miscellaneous gun show parts. There are some scratches around a couple of the pins, and I believe it was home assembled. The more I look at it, the more I think it has been fit to a slide, although I will be the first to admit that I can't say so with certainty.
Two important questions:
I'm not looking for a carry or home defense piece, but I would love to have a decent and reliable 1911 for the range that won't break the bank. I am open to stripping it back to a bare frame again if necessary, but I am not looking for a top dollar custom job - especially with a base carbon steel frame. Thanks for your help!
Two important questions:
- What is it worth? Very little out there to compare it to, but I'm guessing it's not worth much...
- What would you do to complete it as a the "best bang for the buck" range gun?
