Let me get this out of the way. I know Llama 1911's aren't viewed highly. In fact, many describe them as the one blemish on the 1911's history. Even the Ballista Mollinar (or however it's spelled) is more beloved than a Llama.
But at the price this guy is asking, well, it started turning gears. I mean, I'll never see a .45 ACP THIS CHEAP AGAIN. It couldn't be cheaper. If it was I'd have to choose between it and gas for my car for a month. Which means I'd be walking to work.
So here's the question:
Llama 1911's are said not to be "true" 1911's in that they aren't parts compatible with "true" 1911's. Is there anyway, using a dremel and a drill press (and other machinery) to remedy this? As in, if you put enough man-power into it, it could accept regular 1911 parts?
At the price I'd just buy it for the frame and build a real 1911 out of that. Can that be done?
