Something I'm wondering where is a good place I can get accurate blueprints for varies firearms, because I want to give designing a firearm another go. Last time I gave it a try I only relied on pictures to estimate sizing and design, to help me figure out a good base to start my own design from.
Now I've tried using a website called grabcad which helps a little but I much rather has more reliable databse i can go into, to get blueprints and design details for firearms.
Also if your wondering what i designed last time it was a revolver took me about a month to finish every detail on it, this time I'm thinking maybe a bolt gun or a semi-auto pistol. Not sure yet still thinking, also if your wondering what happened to my first designed I forgot to save it on my external drive and my computer had it's hard drive get corrupted.
 
homegunsmith.com has quite an extensive library of firearm blueprints (though not all of them are complete). It is a membership site for access to the library (annual or lifetime) but well worth it IMHO. A lot of very experienced and ingenious folks hang out there, and always seem willing to help.
