I was cleaning out some old stuff that I'm never going to use and ran across a small binder that I had stored a long article on building a 1911 pistol from scratch. It was published in Shooting Times 1996-1997(11 installments) and was written by Layne Simpson. Back then I thought I might do just that, build a 1911. Obviously, I didn't do it and forgot all about the article.
I know that anything published in gun media is immediately suspect here and most know more than can ever be found in the gun media, but I thought that before I consign this to the recycle bin, I would offer it to anyone that wanted it.
I didn't post in S&S because I will send it to the first one that responds with "I want it", no charge. If a Mod feels that this should have gone in another forum, feel free to move it.
