Boise, ID –-(Ammoland.com)- Freedom Concepts Laboratory is proud to offer custom pistol builders a new option for making their own firearms, introducing the Liberty line of 80% polymer 1911 frames.
Developed by Foxtrot Mike Products Inc, the 80% frames accept standard 1911 slides, magazines, and internal parts. Bringing modern ergonomics to a 100-year-old design, the frame features different sized backstraps and generous scallop cuts to make operating the controls comfortable for shooters of all hand sizes. The reusable 80% frame jig comes with all the tools required for final manufacturing.
The Liberty MkIX, featuring a full size grip, will be available March 2018 in the following models:
• MkIX-G Government Model for a traditional 5” slide
• MkIX-Gx Extended Model for a 5” slide with a full length rail
• MkIX-O Officer Model for a traditional 4” slide
• All three models have a suggested retail price of $139
“FCL was formed to produce innovative, high quality firearm products that are within the reach of all consumers,” said Paul, CEO of FCL. “We use cutting edge materials, combined with trend setting manufacturing techniques, to push the boundaries of performance.”
In the past, custom 1911 builds have had a reputation for requiring a lot of hand fitting. Freedom Concepts Laboratory 80% frames greatly simplify this process, requiring 40% fewer parts than a standard 1911, with a patent-pending modular backstrap that captures the mainspring assembly, making it easy to finish your pistol.
All Liberty frames are set up to be completely ambidextrous. Freedom Concepts Laboratory is introducing an aftermarket 100% ambi kit, for a suggested retail of $75, however all Liberty frames come with a right-hand magazine release, and readily accept standard 1911 thumb safeties and slide stops.
All three Freedom Concepts Laboratory 80% MkIX frames will be shipping in March, available exclusively at Brownells and the Glockstore.

Well let’s see. A polymer framed 1911 costing less overall for a finished gun and easier to build. No updated info after the initial pre introduction roll out. I will take a stab at it. BOUGHT OUT!! Likely by one of the companies with a huge investment in 80% metal frame 1911 machinery. My first impression on this product was, if it is as tough and reliable as metal 1911 frames it would take a huge chunk of the market away from the metal 80% frame market. I am sure the deafining sound of crickets we’re hearing now will end… Read more »
Yeah exactly what happened with these kits??
It’s now NOVEMBER and I can find NOTHING ANYWHERE on where to buy or what happened!!
Does ANYBODY KNOW!?
As this was supposed to be released in March , anyone know what’s going on ?
March of LAST YEAR ! Sounds like people got scammed or the frames were complete piss bucket junk that probably blew apart from the massive recoil of the 45 acp round. Hey I got a great deal on some Gold Bars for only $399 ! Anyone interested ? They are 000.5 grams lol whatbullshit ! Why do the hype and be silent for the entier year after supposed release ? I smell a DEMOCRAT
