Possibly free titanium stuff

[ar15barrels]

the level of concern for protecting your idea has to be weighed directly against how much money you expect to make from it. id say for anything less than $100k your time would be better spent improving your design and getting it actually made and selling instead of trying to pursue a patent pending or patent which are dubious protections unless you know exactly what you are doing anyways.

Absolutely!
Being first to market with a superior quality product at a fair price that is not easily copied beats a patent everytime.

+1000. And buyers like me prefer the original, not the FAKEs

I'd love to have a mount made that would attach a mass production peep site to my old Stevens Model 56.

Can't find one anywhere.

You want to make some money?? Firing pins for the Ruger mini 14 and 30

+1^6...especially in forum driven niche markets, people dont take too kindly to ripoffs

I have a mossberg 47c rifle that has an ugly trigger guard, the plastic shrank over the 60-80 years its been on the rifle, the front and back ends need to be extended back to their original lengths, to do this the machined copy would need to be .150 inches longer in the front and .120 inches longer in the rear. No one makes a metal trigger guard for it. If you could make this out of either titanium, aluminum or steel that would be awesome. Of course all expenses will be paid by me if need be and depending on if I can afford it or not. the paper is 1/4 inch square graph to give an idea of the size. Here are some pictures:

Maybe a BAD lever :-)

Possibly free titanium stuff

M&P Shield safety deletion kit? I want this BAD and steel or aluminum will work fine.

Not to mention that could be a highly marketable item. I'll be the test subject.

extended bolt release lever?

hmm that is looking interesting

some questions to determine its machinability:

are all three slot walls parallel to each other, both slot to slot, and within each slot? i.e. no angled walls either in a single slot, or each slot relative to the other slots?

are the two blind slots flat bottomed?

what function do the slots perform when this is installed?

what are its overall dimensions?

do the outer walls have a slight taper of any kind or are they normal to each other?

i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about but I like it...any pics?

This is something I would need to PM you about and idk what the design would be but I know a lot of folks want these.

i think its a little to open ended for my first project on here...maybe down the road a bit

Those 2 slots serve no purpose other than weight reduction so they aren't necessary. The only slot that needs to be machined is the one for the trigger. The overall dimensions are : 1.5 inches tall, half an inch wide, and 7 inches long. I can ship the guard to you since I'm not a machineist and I'll have no idea how to explain everything needed to you haha

do the outer walls have any taper?

is the trigger slot just an oval slot straight through or does it have any sort of taper or ledges or anything?

i would like to make it as follows, tell me if you think this would work or if it would miss any geometry:

setup 1: as you have shown in picture #1. outer profile and trigger guard pocket.

setup 2: rotate 90 degrees, mill out slot

setup 3: make a jig to do screw holes and counterbores

tada!

do you know of anyone else that might want one?

the more people that want this the cheaper it gets and the more likely it will happen
