Exactly. I think i might be able to do a run of say 5-10 drops for a
"reasonable" price. If you are interested in the option let me know. I can
get a dimensional drawing out to you so you can draw what you want on there.
I could even do a custom run for RSP if people were into it. I would need
at least 15 interested parties to make it worth the development and
production costs. Any takers out there in RSP land? If I know for sure
that 15 people would be interested for around $40 each I can prototype
something and start some cost estimates.

If you'd make it possible to attach an on/off adapter, I'd be in.

The problem is one off cost, as I am sure everyone else has said. Now, one
of the thing I've looked at and have done is custom images on drops etc.
Again the major issue with this is, everyone wants custom work, no one wants
to pay for it.

That's a cool idea. I've got a friend that builds marking lasers. We could
take standard drops and put any design on them you wanted. It would still be
expensive, but not nearly as bad as custom machined ones.

That should just be a screw and nut with a strong rubber seal... Hell,
you could probably (if you had the right tools) make custom adapter
knobs to go with it all! I'm seriously considering a 'victorian' era
style drop forward for my marker, heh.

Just remember me when you get rich

Actually I've had many of my markers etched, engraved and a few other things
(checkering, mainly found on fire arm stocks etc). I mean what good is
having the wizz bang 2005 that costs $1500 if it looks like every other one
in the same color.

I mean when you look at the cash dumped on markers, that all begin to look
the same, something like this is VERY viable.

There are bolt on and slide rail on/offs that would work with what I am
thinking of. Now we need another 14 or so people to show interest.

Whats the design look like? Sketch it up to see if anyone else is
interested?
