Probably not.
I built my first home-brew 1911 using Sarco parts. I realize I was lucky, but the ONLY part that needed any fitting was the firing pin stop, which had to be filed down a bit to slide into the slide. Everything else went together and the "out-of-the-box" accuracy was better than expected.
The trigger pull was too heavy, so once the pistol had proven functional I replaced the el cheapo sear spring with a genuine Colt part and stoned the sear and hammer hooks. But getting a pistol assembled using the Sarco parts kit isn't difficult.
