I've been away for awhile and I see the Manufacturer Specific Gate. Great addition. Props to the admins!

I have an idea to go along with the new sections dealing with manufacturers.  Since many, if not all, of us are technically minded, I wonder if each manufacturer could have subsections dealing with specific models and at the start of each model section there could be schematics and listings of O-ring sizes/ ratings along with assorted disposables/ easily lost items (fill probes, pressure gauge sizes and threading, magazines/ single shot trays).

Wouldn't it be a huge resource to 'search' your specific rifle/ pistol and locate a dedicated section with specific technical information?   

Please forgive me if this idea has already been floated or if it seem like unnecessary work.  Just such technical information I have been working to accumulate since getting started with PCP airguns.

Much of the main stuff is still in the reorganizing phase. Once all that settles in there will be tweaks and fine tuning to all the sections. There is still research going on for an entirely new software package. Some of this reorganization is to make it more friendly to migrate to a new package without losing data.
All of this takes alot of time and work. Some of it is going on behind the scenes and the normal members don't even notice the subtle changes.
Something else to consider.... our entire staff is made up of voluntary members. It's not like anyone gets paid to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day and do the work that is being done. We do this out of our commitment to the hobby and our forum.
