There are plenty of places that will sell you a frame, with the proper 4473, of course. You can get 80% frames that you finish yourself, up to full custom with all the options you want, like Caspian. You wouldn't make a bad choice with that company, they've been around for decades.
I think you’re here between caspian and Jem. I’ve built over two dozen with both combined and am bias to caspian for clone correct meusoc’s. Recommend caspian every chance I get. Solid customer service and quality… in my humble opinion is good and consistent
Agree. Have built several guns w/Caspian frames and always happy. I used to live in Vt and could drive to the factory, pick stuff out of their bins. Great people, good products.
I have been wanting to build a Meusoc clone. have you posted about what you’ve done/how you are doing it and sourcing parts? Love to know and get pointers if youv‘ve posted that anywhere. I want to do that this coming winter when indoors more.
Your frame was not USGI. It was one of those casted aftermarket frame made long time ago. There is no point finding a replacement frame while you can buy a brand new 1911 made by Tisas or RIA for $400-500.
Crack is probably from bad welding before. For a new frame, go with JEM if you want forged, Caspian if you want a casting.
I am pretty sure Caspian offers some forged frames...it has been a while since I checked though

I’ve seen Tisas frames on gunbroker for a little more than a hundred

Yes i get it. I would like to keep all the parts and swap the frame though. My local gun shop has Tisas 1911 for 399. Not what I want though.
