Oriskany Arms 1911 Frame – 3.5″ Officer’s
Classic Carbon Steel 1911 Frame with Clark/Para Ramp
Oriskany Arms provides builders a strong, reliable, and American-made foundation for a premium 1911 pistol. Specifically, this 3.5-inch Officer’s 1911 frame delivers exceptional value and includes features often reserved for higher-priced frames. Therefore, shooters confidently build defensive pistols, competition guns, or high-end custom 1911s with precision and ease.
Precision Materials for Long-Term Reliability
Oriskany Arms machines each frame from durable 4140 carbon steel to maximize strength and service life. First, the company casts the frame precisely, and then it CNC-machines the frame to exact dimensions. As a result, gunsmiths achieve a platform that fits consistently and allows smooth tuning, fitting, and finishing work.
Designed for Tight Fit and Improved Accuracy
Oversize Rails for Custom Slide Fit
The frame includes oversize rails, so gunsmiths can hand-fit the slide for a tight, smooth action. This adjustment improves accuracy and ensures consistent cycling during live fire. Moreover, the tighter fit enhances overall pistol performance under stress.
20 LPI Checkered Front Strap
Oriskany Arms machines 20 lines-per-inch checkering on the front strap. This checkering gives shooters secure traction without feeling harsh. In addition, it improves control during rapid-fire sequences while staying comfortable during extended shooting sessions.
Heat-Treated for Strength and Machinability
After machining, Oriskany Arms heat-treats the frame to Rc 22–24. This treatment balances durability with easy machinability. Consequently, gunsmiths modify or tune the frame efficiently, and shooters enjoy consistent long-term performance.
Backed by Decades of American Manufacturing
Oriskany Arms has manufactured precision firearm components since 1947. In 2013, the company expanded its lineup to include American-made Series 1911 pistols in .45 ACP and 9mm. Therefore, every frame reflects decades of machining expertise and proven firearm engineering, giving shooters a high-quality, reliable platform.
