Now this is just a thought getting off the ground...

Hey how about this
They all have to work on ol school Desert Fox's
Hey I have one that hasnt seen action in like 5 years I would donate it for this thing


can't wait

SS

That wouldn't work. You need something that is readily available, cheap and in plenty of supply in the same condition for everyone.

Good point Simon

What about Palmers getting in on the contest?

[BeaverEater]

That would be a great idea, I would love to see that.

About what?

I think it's best to make it cheap and easy for people to join in.

TK Vs. Glen Palmer

I'd second that.

Regardless, this would be a very cool thing to see.

Manike.. you just gave me a brilliant idea...

a buy in.. every one that wants to enter needs to buy * Insert random gun here * from whom ever..

What would be the prize though.. with all the tinkers getting involved all the people with the neat toys are going to be involved in it :)

Having a buy in will also open it up to non-industry people to buy a gun and enter in... thusly spreading the creativity over a wide area of people

[TeamNausea]

it needs to be set up, not just 80000 people doing it at once. So only "battles" that people actually want to see. A resume would have to be given for an "unknown" gun builder to enter. Like a couple of pics from guns they have done or what not and a commitee(sp) of the "known" builders choose if they are in or not.Let that commitee set up all the battles.

regarding the buy in: personally i think it would be best if only a few reputable people competed, and it was fimed for everyone to see. or maybe we could have that and then have an open competition for anyone who wants to enter. the prizes for the regulated entry would be maybe cash and a gift certificate to a tool company, and for the open entry it would be maybe just prizes from sponsors here and other places, like GOTM, just a lot bigger.

I still like the idea of a merlin extrusion..thats just a block with 2 bore's in it. Basically the gun would end up being totally custom...they could also go with a cocker/merlin look easy or a cyborg electro look, since those 2 guns are made from that extrusion.

But really the scy is the limit inless you want to make a mag.... maybe they coulkd just take 1 tube off totally for that :)

wow, awesome idea! id watch it.

it would be better than garage takeover on the discovery channel. I'd watch it

Hummm, I don't think it's actually going to be televised....

Frankly there is nothing real exciting about watching chips flying off the mill.

[CrimsonTurkey]

Well I'd buy a DVD.

As for watching chips fly off a mill. Tons of people seem to enjoy watching sparks fly off some sheet metal on these car shows.

if it came out on DVD, i would buy it. i never really watch TV, but there must be a science/technology channel that would be willing to have the contest also. having this on would make me watch TV . and it cant really hurt to try, can it? just propose the idea to a few stations, if they say no, you could make a DVD. we already have numerous DVDs of tournaments and tech videos, why cant we make one of a competition like this? heck, im sure if you propose the idea to a company like deadbox media they would be happy to film it.
