    just wanted to gauge interest in this ? i can produce logos and stencils of different brands and various shapes of guns.
    my thought is that people may want outlines of their guns maybe on the walls where they hang them? kinda like the old Hitman games where a sort of shadow sits where it used to hang? :p
    or perhaps the make/model/upgrades? or even say the logo on a gun case/cabinet ?
    white and black are standard colours but all sorts can be done really including gold and matte types.

    didnt want to go directly to the adverts section with this as i'm unsure if its worthwhile doing? or i may even get over my head with it as its not that easy and can take time .

    heres a rough idea..

    I'd be very careful with reproduction of trademarks. That's an area that's fraught with legal implications, which are becoming more stringent and enforced every day.
    Beckler & Coch won't mind you using their logo, but Heckler & Koch might take umbrage with it's reproduction.

    Never play with the koch.... The koch always wins.

    I love the idea of having artwork created from firearms images on my walls so the availability of stencils of my favourite guns sounds like a great idea.

    On the subject of copyright - if you are simply taking a logo and selling a stencil of it then you are infringing copyright. If you are using that stencil to create a larger piece of artwork you can use the argument that it is fair usage*.
    From the sounds of it, for your purposes you would be best off leaving well alone.

    *This is NOT legal advice.
