So maybe this is dumb, but for awhile I've been kicking around the idea for a new muzzleloader design. As I've thought about it and played with some design ideas and drawings, I really think it would work and work well. A search on the internet shows that one company tried something similar but the company went out of business before the gun ever made it into production.
So here's where I'm at. Is there any company that will ever listen to "some guy with an idea?" Or do they only pay their engineers to come up with new ideas?
I'm guessing it will never go anywhere, but I'm really quite sold on the design and think it has potential, and the one other person I've talked to about it thought it was genius and surprised it hadn't been done yet.
So does anyone know? Is there a way to pitch an idea to a company and have them actually listen?
