1911 80% kits

[notyalc]

Has anyone purchased a 80% frame and slide lately? I've been trying to source some out but I'm finding it kind of hard. I know Dlask used to but I believe that they don't anymore. Is it legal to buy these kits from the U.S.? Would I need to get a bunch of paperwork and import garbage to get one from down there?

Just looking for some info of these. Hoping to get one for a build in a few months. Any info on this would be great!

I don't know. ..but I've been trying to source one myself to finish off a hot rod project I'm working on.( Want a true pistol grip shifter) I've been thinking I might have to get a norinco and have it deactivated. Thinking this is probably the best way out for me...
Betcha the cops would love seeing a real pistol for a shifter....

I know caspian arms has them and they are priced pretty good. Just not sure if they ship to Canada. I sent them an email asking, hopefully reply.

Dlask lsts an 80% fram and slide, says it out of stock however. I know Brownell's has said they won't ship 80% frames into Canada. Quite a few companies in the US sell jig sets for both 1911's and AR's, these can be brought into Canada without any issues. Stealth Arms makes a really nice 1911 jig kit.

Oh and before anyone asks, 80% frames are ITAR controlled.

Nope, they have emphatically stated they will not be getting into the 80% market.

Just got off the phone with Dlask arms and they are expecting a shipment of the 80% kits to come in within a few weeks

I think my credit card just jumped out of my wallet and went to hide in the closet.

Just got 2 Polymer80 Pheonix 2.0 kits from arlower.

I have no issue with polymer and I figure if it works, great. All the reviews have been saying they are stellar. If it doesn't work lets face it you probably screwed up the milling. Anyway, I think it's going to be a great way to learn.

A pistol frame as a shifter in a car - what could possibly go wrong?

Very cool, unless it's dark and rainy, you're pulled over and all the police officer can see is the area illuminated by his flashlight...

On the Sportsmansguide website it says that the 80%1911 frame is available for shipping to Canada. ... does anyone know if a 80% frame would make it through customs?

I've been looking for this too.

Maybe worth asking, AR 80% lowers have a warning and won't ship, this doesn't happen with 1911 80% lowers. Interesting. Gigs are g2g I think. EDIT , AR JIGS have restrictions too, wont ship.
