Master Gunsmith Gene Shuey takes you to the next level of custom 1911 building with this course on "Building the Race Ready Kit".
If you want to build a really hot 1911 style pistol with a lot of custom features and want to save significant time and money, building a semi-custom 1911 from a kit makes a lot of sense. Many of the custom features that you would normally have to do yourself are already done for you by the manufacturer. All the costly machining operations are done, such as a high cut frame, checkered front strap, integral, flared, mag well and beavertail grip safety and a slide already milled for adjustable sights,to name a few.
This course will provide you with all the knowledge that you will need to turn a "Race Ready Kit" into a great carry gun or match winning pistol.
