Rifle or shotgun blueprints

[dcr465]

Being the geek I am, I recently purchased some CAD software & have been redrawing some 1911 drawings to become familiar with the software. It actually has been so enjoyable I was hoping to find other weapons blueprints to draw.

Was wondering if any INGOer might have e-blueprints they could share....

What CAD software you using?

I have SolidWorks '06 w/ FEA here at the house I use from time to time when drawing obsolete replacement parts for vintage snowmobile engines.

Thanks for feedback. Its been 3? years since Engineering School so I am starting CAD cheaply TurboCad. Funny that Backfire mentioned FEA... I am so old that I was in one of the 1st Finite Element class at my college and we had to perform our analyses on a IBM PCXT.

I hope to upgrade to Solids Modeling software as my knowledge grows

Yikes!!!!

You'll find SolidWork's stuff to be really easy to get acclamated to, as they've came a LONGGGG way in making their products streamline into everyone's elses' stuff much better, compared to how they used to be 10 years ago. In fact, most (not all) other CAD/CAM drawings can be easily imported into SL with a utility they have now, without having to re-draw any number of things- even the Pro-E crap... That's pretty neat and a HUGE time saver!

Good luck and enjoy. It's really fun!
