"Iver Johnson Arms" is a trade name that has been used by several different companies over time. I did some minimal fitting or smoothing on a couple, but it was not required for functionality.Post WWII Commercially Manufactured M1 Carbines (U.S.A.)įive Separate Companies in Different Times and/or Different Places 5 Rock Island Auto 1911 Frame, Parkerized.I threw away the RIA ejector it was of very poor quality. All in all not a bad situation - just remember to take your time when building. I removed them by heating them with cigarette lighter, removed both carefully and replaced them with a better quality replacement. The only dislike that I can mention is that the frame came with an ejector and ejector pin mounted to the frame but super-glued on. 4 A good project frame but a little rough.GREAT Frame,Easy build,SUPER Service from SARCO Posted by Thomas McCullough on Nov 9th 2020 After replacing these with correct parts, the slide fit like glove. My 10mm rock island slide did not fit due to ramped bull barrel. I was hoping this frame was ramped version, but it’s not. These frames are still the best quality choices for my individual builds. I just ordered my fourth frame and I wanted to set the record straight. I go through most all aspects of building a 1911. Pared with a fusion 6 inch slide it should make for a fun range toy. This is the frame that I am using for the SARCO 16 inch Carbine build. I removed the pin and heated and the glue and am replacing it with a EGW oversized ejector.

Mine came with the OEM ejector both pined and glued in place. It’s is out of spec in a few areas and with some time and patients you can put it back into spec. Posted by Nathaniel Osborn on Jun 13th 2021
