Hello again citizens of Airgun Nation. it has been 3 years since I last posted. True to form, I got busy with something else. I promise to be faithful from now on.
Anyway, I have been thinking about airguns and airgun engineering / design for years, 57 to be exact.
Today I had a novel thought while reading some of the threads about magnum springers. Open Source, airgun enthusiasts design and maybe even build the ultimate coil / gas spring gun. Possibly our ideas would stimulate an existing manufacture to use what we come up with, or someone somewhere starts their own company.
If there is a moderator reading this, could you tell me if this Open Source design / build team of volunteers is something that would be allowed, and how something like this could be structured / organized here on Airgun Nation? Most everyone has a good idea or two, and no doubt there are those that know their way around a cad program, wood workers, metal fabricators, mechanical engineers, machinists etc. What we come up with would be freely shared with anyone interested. Maybe someday the ultimate coil / gas spring air rifle will be produced as a result of our efforts.
Thoughts anyone ?
