I'd be interested in the conversion kit, if it is an orphan now. I refuse to pay as much for a dedicated 1911/22 as a .45ACP, or almost that much for a kit by Colt or another big-time maker. The Ciener kits run about a buck and a half new, according to their site (on "sale"). If there is an economy class gateway to shooting .22lr in a 1911 frame, I'm doing my best to find it.

I ditched the kit for 200 at a local gunshow. I had a nice Colt kit already.

I suppose $600 for this depends on what you want it for...Sights make it kinda cumbersome for a carry gun; if you're buying as a decent plinker/paper puncher, then be aware that you can still find a Colt Series 70 Gold Cup .45 unaltered for $100 more...Like I did...

I'd rather have the Colt GC...But YMMV...
