I know it's a long shot but...
I'm looking for a complete lower half of a 1911 (make and model are variable)
It's going to be used to put a .22 conversion kit on so the requirements are minimal.
Prefer DFW area.
Let me know what you have TexasCHLers

Look a few posts down!
There are a few "Lower Halves" for sale that come with a "Free Upper Half"

Guns are like parachutes, if your ever in a situation that you need one and you dont have one, you'll probably never need one again.

Some folks refer to this as a frame... it that what you are looking for? I think the top half is called a slide, but I'm not sure. The thingy that goes into the bottom half is usually called a clip by those who know according to what I saw in a magazine while going down a slide until my arm clipped the frame.

Re: WTB lower half of 1911
I did this a few years ago. Bought a bare frame, built it from off-the-shelf parts, topped it with my Ciener conversion slide. Works well, but it was expensive. I think I have $450 in it, including the conversion which I paid $150 for.
Some people buy a cheap Filipino 1911 and sell the upper on ebay. That would be a less expensive route IMO.
Today you can buy a Colt branded Umarex 1911-22 for less money.

Re: WTB lower half of 1911
That's a good deal if the shorter frame will work
