Ok pulled one out today to screw around; which I have been meaning to do for a long time. Unfortunately the pictures came out horrid but I was able to use and old copy of Photoshop and make it slightly less horrid.
Ohhhhh!
I would be too skeered to shoot a gun worth $50-75,000.
My guns get sold if I don't shoot them. Its a bad habit of mine since I'm not much of a collector, I prefer to shoot.

SA-WEET!!
Blue line in the background is a nice touch!
How do you like it? Is the extreme worth the premium over the standard Witness?
That Norinco bullpup is very cool, btw...
I adore that EAA. It's a great teaching gun. I've used it to allow students to see how recoil is different in different pistols and it's always a major eye-opener for them.
It's not worth the premium, though. I bought it because it fits some weird rules of a particular shooting sport. For most people, the Witness Elite is an answer to a question nobody's asking.
As for the Norinco, it's an iron-sight-only piece. That would be fine except that with the sights at the limits of their adjustment, the thing shoots 3 feet high at 25 yards. Lots of slop in there, obviously. What bugs me is that I can't find a replacement front sight post that's 0.190 to 0.25 inches higher than standard.
Larry Potterfield would make one from scratch.
I'm sure you could come up with something.
I am confused, you are running off Blue-lines, or creating them with CAD program??
They appear to have hand written text on them which led me to believe they were old hand drawings of which copies were made...

Look in the upper left of blue line.

I guess I did my job well. To answer your question, I generated them with Solidworks and then put them on the old style blue print back ground with Photoshop. There is a font in solidworks that looks like hand written text. In the background of some of the videos done by the military institute you can see a few of the original Stoner drawings. I used them as a guide to simulate a blue print. As for the other blue prints I modify style and font according to the era that the gun/drawing would have been done in. Of course anyone that has ever worked with real drawings know that blue prints have not been used since the 20's, it been mostly blue lines up until about 10 years ago.
I had seen that there.....
Yep, very well done indeed.
You will notice I said "blue lines", I have run my fair share of them many moons ago paying my dues, lol.
ETA: I did mention it on the first one, I have no idea how old it is, didn't even think about it.
