Submitting Gun Concept

[Vuk]

Ahhh, that's excellent; you're already on your way there, then!

A quick look on Wikipedia provides you with pages for the various firearm manufacturers across the United States; I randomly clicked one of these and found their website, has a list of possible telephone numbers and email addresses you can contact for customer support and enquiries.

That's just one place I looked at in the last few minutes, I guess with a little more diligence you could easily locate one in your local county (or at least, your state) that you could discuss your concepts with and perhaps arrange a meeting.

Thanks Secura. I was hoping to submit it to one of the larger companies (H&K, FN, etc). (FN would be my main choice)
The problem is that while I saw contact info for sales, etc, I saw nothing for R&D, or something else that I think would apply. I contacted customer service at FN and asked them about it, but I was hoping that maybe someone here knew the best way to go about it. (so it does not come off as any more amateur than necessary :P)
I just hope that they do not need a working prototype, because neither of us could afford that. :P We could probably work with a gunsmith to make a working design with someone of the workings of existing guns, but it would not be the best proof of concept, and my guess is that it would cost many hundreds of dollars. :P

If the concept is really good, a manufacturer may be willing to spend the money on a prototype to test how it works and so on, no?

I hope so. :P
