1911 Blueprints
« on: July 24, 2003, 08:00:23 AM »
I was looking for some 1911 blueprints here on GBO, but I ended up purchasing some really good ones. I have complete blueprints for the frame, slide and bbl. I also have really nice autocad drawings of the blueprints. The prints are in Adobe PDF format and can be viewed and printed as many times as you like. The Autocad files can be viewed with a viewer or Autocad.

I would like to offer these to anyone interrested for a minor pittance. They are great plans and I thought I would offer them to anyone and try and recoup my investment.

I am uneasy about offering these here on GBO, I don't see sales pitches here on the site and don't want to. On the other hand, There are people here like me that may need the blueprints. I appologise if I offend anyone on GBO, that is not my intention.

That being said... The plans will be 5.00. If you are interrested, please mail me at a_kayaker@hotmail.com so we can discuss it further. I do not wish to take up GBO's server space with this topic.  Please put 1911 in the subject field if you mail me.

Good luck with your projects.

I found the ones I indicated before that I thought I had.  They are in a 11 X 17 book format, 46 pages, typically two prints per page.  The title is "U.S. Army Drawings M1911 A1 Pistol" at the top.  "Includes National Match Parts & Ammunition" is at the bottom.  Are these the same as you bought?

Hey Bob,

No, I found an internet site that was selling the prints all on one page. The prints are in pdf format so. I can blow them up and print them on a plotter or I can just print them on a regular laser. The Autocad files are nice, but I won't have much use for them. I'm not too hot in Autocad. They do have all of the measurements though and thats what I need.

I do appreciate you looking for your prints. It sounds like yours are really nice. I like the idea of the book format. If I made a book it would only be 2 pages.
