Background Information
Hopefully this will become a useful tool in finding just the part
you need to improve your collectible firearm. Chances will not be very
high that the exact part you need is available but what does it hurt to
try? If enough people try we may actually be able to come up with some
useful matches! Why not give it a try?
To avoid any desktop security issues, the application was written without
the need for any client enabled scripting or cookies. Therefore, it
may seem somewhat clunky in some places. For example, since this application
does not use JavaScript (code that runs on your PC) after making a selection
from a drop down list you still must click the "Select" button to send your
selection to the server. If you do have cookies enabled, it will save
your session state in a cookie on your computer.
Contributing To The Database
Contributors will have to register with a valid email address.
However, the email address can be kept private. The opportunity to enter
other personal and/or business information is provided should the contributor
wish to be recognized for their contributions. Please keep in mind that
all submissions are subject to
review and will be deleted if any outrageous content is discovered.
Here are the steps to contribute to the Gun Parts Exchange Database:
- Register if not already registered.
- Login if not already logged in. This should take you to the contribute page.
- Click the "Add A Part" button if you are already on the contribute page. Otherwise click the "Contribute" button from just about any other page.
- Enter the information for the part you want to buy or sell. Click the Submit button when you are done with your entry. A trade requires two entries - one for the part you have and the other for the part you want.
Querying The Database
Anybody can query the database without registration. However, you must be registered and logged in to see contact information for the buyer or seller of a part of interest to you.
