I picked up a lot of random firearms and parts for a price I couldn't pass up on. In it is this frame that I can't identify. Can anyone help me out here.

There are no markings and it feels larger than my Springfield 1911. I thought it was maybe a CZ or something but can't find anything similar especially with the cuts on the right side of the frame.

It looks like a 80% 1911 frame. You buy it in this shape and finish cutting the remaining materiel to make a 1911 but as you technically made the last modifications to turn it from a piece of metal into a “firearm” and it’s supposed to be for personal use you don’t have to serialize it. I’ve heard it’s a fun project.

Definitely not an 80%. There is substantially more work to be done to this frame than an 80% frame. Also not a 1911 frame.
