I have had a Ciener .22 conversion for a long time, I run it on my Kimber frame. Recently a lightbulb went off in my head, and I decided that being a full adult of reasonable means, I am in a position where I don't have to switch the slides back and forth. (And one day inevitably lose the slide stop in the crack of my tailgate.) I can get another 1911 frame and just.....leave it on there.
So I start sniffing at Fusion and Caspian frames, thinking building one out might be a fun exercise. (I have detail-stripped a 1911, I've really never done any fitting.) I guess what I am mostly wondering, is, how 'drop-in' is that Ciener kit? Is there a lot of variance in how tightly it would fit? Could I say, just buy one of the finished frames from Brownell's and pop it on there and it would be fine? If I 'broke it in' on one frame, will it run on another?
I suppose my next dilemma is having the barrel modified with a threaded extension welded.
