M1 Semiautomatic Lower

[Mike Miller]

Hi all.

Welcome to the new world of lost rights. See how some bad seeds can ruin it for a whole

country!

Well I am looking for a complete M1 semi automatic lower unit complete.

Without paying an arm and leg, or my first born.

Any ideas where I can get one?

Thanks

Brother, no matter what you do you are going to pay about 400 to 500 dollars. However, if

you understand how to do dis-assembly or reassembly of a trigger frame then you can always buy

one of Recon Bob's trigger frames (lower frame). But it has a hole where the full-auto pivot

goes, but some people use that to build a hold open lever on home built semi-autos.

 

As for already finished SEMI-AUTO receivers there is only Sarco and Numrich that I know

of. Everyone else is selling full-auto. Kahr/Auto-Ordnance, that I have seen so far, does not

sell the trigger frames separately. I hope someone proves me wrong about other suppliers though

because I certainly wish there were other sources for SA frames--provided they are less expensive.

Mike,

 

T Hound is right on. The M1's have really dried up over the last couple of years. Numrich used to have stripped M1 frames for about $330 but they are gone now. I don't think Sarco has any. You may find one on GunBroker but it won't be cheap. ReconBob shows new 1928A1 frames on his website. These are FA military spec. He told me awhile back that he may be offering M1 frames but to date they haven't appeared on his website.

 

You can with modifications use the FA military frames on a N/K Kahr semi reciever. There is a little machining to do on the front of the frame and the well for fire control must be plugged so that a FA sear will not fit. The semi fire control will fit in the Mil FA frame but the Semi disconnector, sear & pawl must be ground or milled to clear the FA/Semi selector.

 

None of your options are cheap.
