Bill,

I am not sure if this meets with what the ownership of the forums has in mind, but these forums are not a commercial gun manufacturing or design venture. That said, there have been several gunmakers and hobbyists who have participated and posted details of their work here. What the Nitroexpress Forums do offer is a forum where ideas could be exchanged, articles stored for future reference and so on. Gun Digest would have their own way of dealing with this, but, I am sure that they, too, would work on the basis of considering an article for publication. If this doesn't work, then we'll have to wait until someone who is doing something decides to post information about their work here. As it is, from what I am clearly aware of, John has only invested his money and time into these forums, and they are a labor of love, not a profit making business.

That said, several gunmakers have participated here and found their participation good both in terms of the publicity that they have received as well as in the indirect business that this has led to. You have to decide what your participation would be - thank you for your posts and good hunting!
