    Not to be a wise guy, but the only way I know of to get a Colt frame is in a complete Colt gun.

    Caspian makes a good quality part.

    Difficult.

    Colt never sold frames/receivers. Only completed Commanders.

    You will have to stumble onto one, perhaps here at auction, that someone, for some reason, is getting rid of. Joe

    Can we assume you have the Commander slide etc. already and are looking for a series 70 frame to match it with? I've been on a few of those chases and none worked out very well. If you insist on an original Colt series 70 Commander frame your best bet will likely be to look for a complete gun with a poor condition or modified slide. Swap out the slides and sell the "spare." My experience has been that a "good deal" on the top half usually became a hassle in trying to match it with a frame and the long run cost exceeded what buying a complete gun in the condition I wanted would have been. Others may have had better experiences. Good luck.

    Brownell's offers 1911 Cmdr type frames by various manufacturers. These are bare frames so you will need a variety of small parts to complete it for service.

    as mentioned, you might find one on the auction side from someone parting out a commander.
    brownells offers multiple makes and models. caspian, as mentioned makes a good frame. you can save some money with an essex (the newer ones are good quality)
    if you're building a custom gun, also look at Fusion.
    just my 2c
