looking for small gun related items
I'm on another forum and they have a "Pay it Forward" thread. Which I think is a great idea! What they do is post up a description or picture of something they just don't want or need, or are willing to give for free, shipping included, to another member. This happens to be a gun Forum (http://www.sksboards.com) so people have alot of smaller items that they don't need like trigger springs, magazines, firing pins etc... After you get your item, you post up an item of yours to give away and you pay the shipping on it. It works out really well for us. I'm not sure it would would work over here... Not many of us have an extra bag of electrodes, or extra servo motors we arent' using.... But it works great for something like a gun forum that uses a lot of small parts.
Anyways, I've offered up some of my .22 walking targets, and they went over well. I'd like to send something else this time and am looking for ideas. I'd like something small if possible, since the giver (that'd be me...) pays the shipping. I remember the "WE DON'T CALL 911" signs that were posted here and am considering them, but I'm wondering if you guys... and girls... have any other ideas. those "911" signs are about the biggest I'd want to go I think.
The guys on that forum are really into the old Russian combloc rifles like the AK and the SKS too so I'd like to figure out something rifle specific if I could. I know there's a pretty new thread with the AK47 on here and that's an option for me too if I can make it into a smaller sign with some wordage or something.
So if you think of something, let me know. I'm not even looking for a DXF of it if you don't have it... I'll draw it if I like it, but if you happen to see something online somewhere that might be an option, please post a picture of it here if you could. Something gun related that could be small.
Thanks...!

Re: looking for small gun related items
Well Scratch,
it is not small nor rifle related, but a kydex press is always cool. I would have to take a picture of mine, they are simple to build and make some very cool stuff.
Or you could make one for yourself and come up with some sort of "extended clip holder", a "dual short clip attachment" for holding two clips close toghether, or some kydex gizmo. Kydex is cheap and fun to work with. A CNC router would be helpful too if you don't have a way of sanding/grinding the holster or whatever you come up with.
The one I have is 1/4" plate but I am sure 10 or maybe even 11 gauge would work good. Some foam and a toaster oven are all one would need to start forming.

I do like your walking targets I am going to make a couple for my boys they look like a great design to use. The AR 15 is a very polpular rifle as well. perhaps something with that or somthing head to head with the AK. I dont have a specific Idea baut perhaps that will spark somthing for you.

Re: looking for small gun related items
Yeah I actually want to try to stay away from the rifle theme, since it's so long. I'm thinking this would be something a gun nut, would put on their desk or shelf or maybe hang on the wall above their reloading bench... I know in that last case, a rifle would be nice, but I'm trying to make this small so it's cheaper and easier to ship.
I may do just some words like "Glock" or "SKS" or "Colt", or maybe the hammer and sickle image for Russia (they're really into Russian guns, or maybe something small incorporating a bullet like a business card holder or something. I'm not gonna make bunches of these things, and I'm not going to sell them. I just don't have alot of extra gun related things laying around that I want to get rid of yet.
Keep the ideas coming and I'll take pics and share the DXF's if I draw them up. Don't look for them too soon though, I'm recovering from shoulder surgery also.

Wow that is a cool idea. business card holder would be cool or perhaps a pencil holder of some king would be nice to have as well.

Re: looking for small gun related items
If you could make a part that would go in their AK's to make them full auto that would be a big hit.
and shipping would be cheap.
