Just building a lower frame/grip?

[Alan Adamson]

Probably an ill conceived idea/question.

I've got a .22lr Tactical Solutions conversion that I'd like to use to build a dedicated steel *optics* gun with. This means I don't need to do the hard part of fitting the slide to the barrel, barrel to lug, slide stop, etc.

If I were to get a 2011 frame kit, how much work does it take to build just the frame/grip to the point that it's functional with the 22 conversion slide/barrel?

I have a few other parts to add to the mix, like the extreme engineering hammer, sear, disconnector. A 2011 pin kit.

I'd need to deal with the beavertail, mainspring setup and sear spring setup etc. It doesn't need an ejector. So I to thinking, might this be a good approach to *build my own* with simplistic tools? Or are more precise, specific tools needed to complete this job.

Say on a ramped or non-ramped, D/T'd STI frame kit?

Or point me to a good resource to evaluate this interest.

Thanks in advance,

Alan
