Custom 1911 on Caspian Frame

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Wonder if there are any other BSB'ers who have done up or otherwise acquired a custom 1911 done up using a Caspian frame as the platform.
I just recently picked up the following 1911:
Caspian Frame w checkered trigger guard
Colt walnut grips, stainless hex grip screws
Colt Series 80 Gold Cup Nat'l Match Slide
National Match Bull Barrel
Match Trigger
Tungsten Guide Rod with Reverse Plug
Chip McCormick hammer/sear
High rise beaver tail
Smith & Alexander mag well
Fiber Optic front site
Ambi thumb safety
Extended mag release
Smooth as butter action with sweet trigger pull...

Was a custom done up by a fella whose work I highly respect. He is moving up to a much higher end 1911 and wanted to free up some cash.

My gain....

Frame is also drilled & tapped for mounting optic site.
I also contacted Caspian via their website and they were kind enough to advise me that the above frame was made in early 1991. Still in nice condition for being 17 years old. 

Park these here:

	I've got a stainless Caspian frame in the safe with a flared magazine well and a squared off triggerguard. Don't see it on the website, but the Race Ready is closest to it. Just haven't gotten around to building it ye, I've only had it about 12 years...
