Is there any hints out there that the change in stats is going to be to the advantage of weapons crafted before the CU or towards weapons crafted after the CU? Would it be a good idea to craft a whole bunch now? or are these going to be mostly useless after the CU?
I know that if they do the transition right it shouldn't matter, but they don't seem to really have a good grasp on what is craftable and what isn't so I'm not sure which way to go on this. Looks like a gamble either way.....
Any ideas?

I would think that the cu will bring all weapons old and new in-line with each other. I really don't think they would let previously crafted weapons overpower anything made afterwards. The "uber" b4 cu will prolly be the best in the game but not unobtainable by the new standards.

I've stopped making new weapons (except for grenades, of course) until after the CU. I don't feel like using up lots of resources on something that is 100% speculation. I'm taking the week of May 5th off work, and when the CU goes live I'll start from scratch with fresh weapons.

Im holding on to some enhancers just to make enhanced versions of the new weapons on 5/5.

that's what I was thinking of doing aswell, try to get ride of as many components and weapons as possible before the CU, then setup tons of factories and run like mad post-CU. I've also been stockpiling Krayt tissues and other looted components for a month now, a bit of a gamble but I think krayt "new" weapons are probably going to be in demand..... Not too mention that Krayt are probably going to be a bit harder to kill now

Im not a M ws yet but when I get there I intend on making plenty of each of the most popular weapons just in case the CU changes are crafting abilities "wouldnt doubt it" But it may be no use the devs could nerf all the current weapons to match the new CU update. I havnt confirmed it yet but the cdef weapons in CU are weaker then the ones that are on live atleast they seem that way, So I say make some nice weapons and hold on to them til after CU and go from there.

My strategy for the CU is to gather 50 of each enhancement type with intentions of holding them until after the CU, also crafting as many enhanced weapons prior to the CU as I can, holding them in storage, as well as crates of certain un-enhanced weapons, such as PHs, VKs and a few others. Perhaps all weapons will be adjusted accordingly in the CU-conversion but I have seen enough "pre-nerf vs post-nerf" situations in this game to not assume anything. Therefore, if pre-CU crafted weapons DO turn out to be better than post-CU, I'll at least have some stock to fall back on.

yeah, they will adjust everything, but the question is: Will they get it right? Also will the old weapons count as tho they were fully experimented on both damage and speed? because these will now be 2 different experimentation and for most weapons will probably not be fully experimented on.

If I make master before the CU I plan on just stock pileing resources until after, them make large production runs. Condition of the weapons will not be a factor in expiermentation after the CU so I have been trying to get resources a little higher in UTthan what I usually get for ranged weapons.

What worries me is On TC they deleted all weapons the people had and made us get new ones from the frog. Why didnt they just change the ones we had to match the ones on the update? What would you do if they either deleted your most beloved weapon that you payed allot of money for or even just scaled it down to make it like the updated weaker weapon?

It's the test center, it is very unlikely they would strip us down naked and make us start from scratch on live.
