CAD wizards...

[meles meles]

We could get our paws on AutoCad et cetera, but that wouldn't help. We need assistance from a big brained ooman to drive it. What we're hoping for is a clever ooman to provide a CAD model of a 7.62 silencer based on a real item. Once we have modelled the gas flow through it, we can validate the model against the real thing. With a validated model, we can then start making improvements. The only thing holding us back is a complete and utter inability to use a CAD package. It's a small brain thing.

if you can wait several months till I get my FAC then I'm all ears :lol:

But otherwise I'd just have to settle for dimensions. I feel that it may be hard to get someone who can provide both the 3D skills plus have the equipment close to hand.

If you are capable of modeling it I assume you will use a computer program to model it and do the sums some thing like aspen I guess. Then I dont understand why you think you would struggle with autocad it is not that dificult to use.

If I could pm you I'd tell you to drop me an email!

Welcome to the forum, you need 5 posts to be able to get the PM function up and running so add an intro a bit of banter and you are ready to go

I am guessing that the only way to see what is inside, (to do a model) is to cut one in half ? and therefore is it illegal to be in possession of half a moderator?

I suppose it keeps out the spammers!

Yes Spammers is one reason, I am not sure of the others, it is just the way the Viking has set things up, probably to differentiate between new and more established members.

Yes spammers and fly by night posters.
