So I got bored, have this Swiss model 1911
Looked around and saw they are still only 500 ish dollar rifles so fuck it, gonna chop it apart. The 7.5x55 Swiss is still a fantastic cartridge, along with this ones bore is superb, gonna leave it be and keep its barrel. Chopped it down to 16.5 inches, and lopped off the stock
Ordered a Williams sight that fits it. Drilled and tapped the reciever for the Williams, cut a picatinny and drilled and tapped the flat from the old rear sight for the picatinny(scout scope or rmr), drilled and tapped barrel for the front sight. Already got a couple coats of oil in the stock a ways to go on it.
Still need to thread the barrel and decide on a brake.
I know it’s gonna make some lose their shit but it’s mine so suck it
