Ed,
First - Mitchell frames are pretty good. But, you already know the discrepancies between them and a Colt frame (undercut front grip strap, dust shield, offset release, frame tails, etc.). As well, the frame is cut for a "beavertail" drop in....
Soooo - if you need parts - let me know. John S's post is right on as for a homemade tool. You can also "stake" a tube using extended drifts (through the grip and from the top for the lower halfâ??s).
Let me know if you need parts - they are yours. After 'smithing O-Frames for 30 years - I have a collection of "stuff" . So - just e-mail me and they are yours. As well - I have a lot of tools you might be able to use as well..???
