Hey again guys. I have a few buddies in the US who've made custom 1911s from a variety of bought parts, but how would that work in Canada? Could I buy each part and assemble my own pistol and register it here, or is there some law against it? Thanks for any help in advance.

You acquire a registered frame & build from there assembling your own parts. Numerous CGN'er have done it. No big deal.
NAA.
Marstar has listed brand new Norinco frames for $100. You might be able to buy all the rest of the parts for less than buying a gun, if you shop around. You will learn something about the gun, putting it together from miscellaneous bits. It might even work as well as a commercial gun.
I seen this thread and lit up, had hopes for a home-milled 1911 frame... like the one "Dumpster" did at the Cnczone.com site
Frankly - I'd love to find someone with a bit of Talent and a CNC mill to pump out a 1911 frame to my spec! I have some nice Solidworks models of the 1911 frame both with rail and without that would be pretty sweet (Any offers?)
I'd imagine that without the frame rails cut and a few holes missing this would be a nice 80% for the Canadian market (hint hint!)

What would be the challange there? And what happens if I want to take it to a stateside shoot? Humm?
hmm maybe I should reach out in the recycle bin for some plastic and microwave myself a Glock....
but building a 1911 is something I wouln't mind doing myself one day...it'd be a 10mm though
I plan on building three: .45, 10mm, and .357 SIG.
I already have names for them and everything.
