The 1911 was a wonderful project. I chose top of the line parts which almost all required hand fitting. I took time and learned allot about real gunsmithing. I believe I ended up with a 1911 that would cost several thousand more than I spent. It is flat out the most accurate handgun I own (ok, not including my match 22 pistol).

I definitely recommend the 1911 project.
I was thinking more along the AR line than the 1911 line. Good info.

What about the purchase of tools?
