Wish to Admin for a peek into NAA's "What if" history.

OK... moved this to its own thread.

I wish Admin would add a web page showing their "what-if" prototypes through the years, with a brief description of the targeted market and reason for not going into production.

I would love to see the collection of lunchroom napkin drawings that must have accumulated over the years!  3D CAD concepts would be nice as well.

With the way things are NAA and all it could be very cool seeing all the history of the co. Just thinking something like a time line.

Yes, a timeline would be great for those buying older minis, for basic bracketing of time and place of manufacture. Detail would still need a request to NAA.

One of my neighbors who used to live about 4 houses down and across the street, used to work for NAA as a gunsmith back when they made the larger revolvers. He made a custom job once when he was working there that made my mouth water. I forget the caliber, but it was a one-of-a-kind model. He was sad to tell me that he no longer owned it. That was maybe 3 years ago and he hasn't been at NAA for maybe 10. Wish I could remember what caliber he made it in and he has since moved from my neighborhood.

Copied from other thread:

That should be a new topic as it would be a good one. Just saying. I would love to see that kind of stuff to.

That sounds like a winner!
I'd love to see what has been proposed, and what went by the wayside, if it doesn't compromise company secrecy.
That would be really neat.
Who knows, with today's production methods, maybe resurrect a design or two that didn't make sense in the old days, but might now.
