New Scope Levers Announced

3-Gun Stuff New Scope Levers
Expanding their market to include ever more product range, 3 Gun Stuff is adding more scope levers for the shooting sportsman. — Levers of Synthesis design.

This is a nifty little product for those who use scopes with adjustable optics.  It extends the adjustment dial with a lever so there is less force to move it.  It also makes it much easier to adjust while wearing gloves.  Check out the 3-Gun website for more information and to view the wide variety of product fits available.

The images right show the design simplicity of the scope levers.  The image below shows one application with the added lever installed.  From this photo you can see just how much more accessible the scope adjustment becomes.  This elegant solution is so much easier to handle, but it’s not so big that it causes other issues.  The large lever end makes the adjuster easy to access while sighting through it, easy to feel without looking, and easy to move as needed — even with gloves.

3 Gun Stuff - Scope Lever Installed

Engineering, Prototyping, and Production

At Synthesis we talk about the “Elegant Solution” in engineering design, and these levers are a good example.  Scope levers that adjust position with an easy to find and easy to actuate interface.  Since the design is one part plus the fastener, the ring deflects to go over the manufactured adjustment barrel, and it takes only a small screwdriver to install.  These features make it easy to install and easy to remove.

The simplicity in design, construction, installation and especially in function make this a good example of what we like to call “The Elegant Solution”.

For prototyping, a simple rapid prototyping method is involved.  The design is done specifically to optimize for rapid prototyping to enhance testing.  And, the methods prove perfect for the application.

On the production side, 3 Gun Stuff chose Domestic Manufacturing for a bunch of reasons, and it’s working as they now expand for more products.  And, it gives them the opportunity for rapid deployment of special orders and new product.  Please talk to 3 Gun Stuff if you want one.

Beyond Scope Levers

The above Scope Levers are a great example of a simple product.  While we love simple, we also do the more complex, of course.  Please talk to us here at Synthesis if you’d like our brain power to further you products.  We’re ready for your next challenge.

Last month we received notice of yet another bicycle chainring patent award for previous design and engineering.  Of course these patents take a long time, usually years to process, and this one is no exception.

Why Do We Make Prototypes?

It seems like a lot of work and cost to build a prototype — and perhaps a big unnecessary step.  Why not just do the design really well, then send it to production?  Why make prototypes?
