PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

I have a 1991A1 matte blued frame in original form in excellent condition with or without the internals. PM me and make me an offer. I'll see if your offer can convince me to part with the frame.

Brownells has a selection, MidwayUSA, direct from Caspian or Briley...

To the best of my knowledge Colt never has sold frames except as part of pistols .

Walt

They also sold kits in the early 1990s when Colt had more MKIV Series 80 slides than they did receivers, they mated those slides to the newly introduced M1991A1 receivers.

Come to think of it, I have a 1991 "Combat" Series 80 slide from that period, high profile sights and all.

I have seen a Colt Delta Elite stainless steel frame in its origianal box. Now that I think about it, I should have bought that one. At the time, the price was so high that I would have spent way more putting one together than I would have by just buying a used Delta Elite.

Being economically sensitive some times works against your better interest!
