Can a Norinco 1911a1 frame be used as a starting point for a project? Can any 1911 or 1911a1 part be used in this frame? Later on down the road, can the frame be upgraded and all parts be moved to a new frame???

Thanks
 
Some drop in, some need machining, like a match grade barrel. Even though some parts are supposed to drop in, getting them to work may take some fitting.
At this point I am out of my league, but lots of guys on this board build 1911's from bare frames.
I got all excited when I figured out how to change an extractor and firing pin :roll:
 
Norc's are made out of high quality steel...frame and slide are perfect for a custom build...I'm planning a commander length build right now...some parts will require machining or hand fitting for sure...but that's all part of the fun...enjoy.
 
Some time ago I had a 1911 Norc in 9mm and it was a strong, reliable work horse that was reasonably accurate. I would not hesitate to upgrade and/or customize it right from the frame.

I have changed a number of 1911 parts for friends and family, mostly springs, triggers, grips and safeties to accommodate larger or smaller hands. I found every part I bought or were brought to me to be slightly oversized so they could be sized down to a correct dimension for the firearm.

Try not to take material off the frame and slide. Just the parts.
 
I have made a few look cooler with a Colt slide from 1945, a Remington Rand from 44 and a modern Auto Ordinance slide. The ones without Made in China just the serial number on frame are best for building on. Probably should buy a .236-60 tpi tap so you can use usgi standard grip screw bushings down the road after that all parts are interchangeable. Then go get a commander hammer and beaver tail grip safety, you will need to remove some metal from the frame to install the beaver tail.
