Any Shops Carry Old 1911 Parts?

[Bully]

I have a penchant for older 1911's. I can't really afford one and if I had it I'd probably just put it in the safe until I decided that it's stupid to not shoot a gun and then sell it (I'm NOT a collector). As such I have decided that I'd like to find some older parts and put them on a newer frame/slide or pistol and make a resto-mod.
Are there any shops reasonably close to Allen that might have older parts kicking around?
Thanks in advance for any help given.

I did exactly this to my Cimarron (a retro -pre A1 1911). The parts I needed were the trigger, slide catch, safety lever & hammer.

Phone your local gunsmiths… I didn’t find the parts I needed “off the shelves”.

Try Sarco, and RTG or a big show like SAR in Phoenix-I put together a fine 1913 with parts...cheap and cool. I may have a flat spring housing and pre war slide...I'll look

Thanks for the leads, folks.
I know about the bigger online shops. I'm looking for a local-ish shop I can dig through the inventory if possible.

Call them or email them.

It's been a very long time since I there, but in th neighborhood of Webb Chapel and Beltline, there was a small shop that had pieces parts of all kinds. At the time I was last there, they had a lot of revolvers and 1911s on display for sale. Other than that, I'm no help for your neck o' the woods.

Do you remember the name of the shop?

Sorry, no. Was a smaller strip mall type shop, not that that'll help much.
