Also have MANY photos taken from an original.
Want this out of my storage unit, if not sold soon, will be scrapped.
That would be a real shame, there is over $100,000 of material and thousands of hours invested in these.
Will sell very cheap, but must sell SOON!

If someone has prints, please tell me.

Seems the Gardner Gun .com site is down now.
I’ve lost interest in completing more full size guns, have one 99% done I will sell on the cheap.

Also have drawings, castings, machined parts to complete several, more but that would have to be discussed on the phone or in person.

“I typically buy plans from other people because it save me many 100’s of hours of R&D.”

And this is exactly my point with these projects. They take thousands of hours for research, development of drawings, patterns, tooling, etc. Of course, people would be pissed to buy plans that were not proven out. Doing these projects is a labor of love and requires someone willing to sacrifice whatever it costs (time & money) and to be motivated to get it done in spite of the obstacles.
