Below you will see 1911 style autos I built with Colt uppers and Caspian frames.
Before I show you the guns I built on Caspian frames I would like you to see the first 1911 I built.
I put this gun together with a Colt Government Model Slide and a Vega frame.
It is my understanding that Vega out of Sacramento is no longer in existence.
This gun is built on one of the first stainless steel frames.
When I first put this gun together I built it with a Colt .22 Conversion Unit. I later sold the conversion unit but kept
the frame.
Now it is a .45 ACP. This gun has the following components on it:
King's extended slide lock
King's extended thumb safety
King's wide beavertail grip safety
King's hex head grip screws
King's hex head mag catch lock
King's trigger
King's light mag catch spring
King's stainless steel pins
Smith & Alexander arched mainspring housing
Trijicon sights
Black micarta grips that I made
all other parts are Colt.
This is the first gun I built with a Colt Gold Cup Elite Slide and a Caspian frame.
I utilized a Gold Cup Elite slide that was left over when I rebuilt a Gold Cup Elite. I rebuilt that gun with a stainless
slide because I don't really care for two-tone guns.
This gun was built with the following components:
King's full length recoil spring guide
King's slide lock
King's thumb safety
King's grips safety
King's sear spring
King's hex head mag catch lock
King's light mag catch spring
Smith & Alexander engraved grip screws
Millet rear sight
White micarta grips that I made
All other parts are Colt
King's Gun Works in Glendale, California installed the Gold Cup trigger and blued the frame
This gun was built with a Colt .22 Conversion Unit on a Caspian frame.
I found the conversion unit on a Essex frame that was not in the best of shape (you'll see it later).
The gun was built with the follwoing components:
King's grip safety
King's light mag catch spring
Ed Brown grips screws
Ed Brown slide lock
Ed Brown thumb safety
Ed Brown hex head mag catch lock
Wilson trigger
Cocobolo grips made by me
All other parts are Colt
After I polish the sides of the frame Ray Lynne of Las Vegas will apply his beautiful rich blue finish.
This gun is a stainless Colt Commander slide (.38 super) and Caspian frame.
I purchased the slide from King's Gun Works.
It was built with the following components:
King's slide lock
King's thumb safety
King's hex head grips screws
King's hex head mag catch lock
King's light mag catch spring
King's Commander style hammer

Cocobolo grips that I made
All other parts are Colt
I intend to replace the Colt grip safety with a wide grip safety from Wilson.
