Robert,
I do not like to get involved in things like this but enough is enough. I will agree with you that there is a good number of so called gunsmiths that don't have a clue but there is also the same number of engineers that couldn't figure their way out of a wet paper bag. I am the first to admit that I am not an engineer but if I as a gunsmith am as stupid as you think gunsmiths are why do I have a large number of engineers in the firearms industry, aerospace industry among others that call me for help with various projects and they have helped me with projects I have had questions on. I have been surprised on numerous occasions that firearms engineers have not known certain dimensions or information that is common knowledge to most good gunsmiths. I have also seen engineers design things that cant be made how they have designed them.
Plain and simple gunsmiths are gunsmiths not engineers and engineers are engineers not gunsmiths. We both work differently because what we do is different. An engineers designs a firearms from a piece of paper and a gunsmith fixes that firearm when something is wrong with it.
From your statement you want gunsmiths to not only be master gunsmiths but master machinists and engineers. They may all overlap each other but they are all different trades with different ways of approaching the same problem. I don't know of anyone who is a master of all trades. I would love to be a master of all three but I am not. I am a Master Gunsmith and I am trying to become a master machinist and engineer but it will be a long time before I will be satisfied with what I know.
The question I have is if gunsmiths are so stupid why did you come to us for information on the Whisper so you could design the Blackout? When you make statements like you have it makes you look like a arrogant ass and I don't think that is your intension.
