1911 supposedly stainless frame and slide I was sold a year ago. The slide has rust in it and is incredibly bulky. What do I have?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210103/5c3be6ee15b9a8d87a5566c0000e0419.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210103/d9ee490279fbb12e7ed6678fffbd4d3a.jpg

A lot of machine work ! More than I'd want to tackle. I'd call them raw castings/forging.
Good luck with your project.

That slide needs to be a labor of love for somebody as there is far too much work left to do for a casual hobbyist IMHO. Sarco has kits that are under $300 that include finished slide and all other parts except the frame, you may want to look at those and yes that frame looks to be less than 80%.
