I found this stick

Needs some work. Gonna see if we can make it do or not.

Why so much effort

One of a half dozen or so guns we're working with this weekend.

Thanks to you lot.

Thank you

So, you guys know we are in Louisiana filming some machine guns for the show. The plan was to leave Thirsday at 8am for a 12 hourish drive.We made it as far as Pooler Georgia before the steering suddenly decided to go soggy enough to be undriveable.It took until 5pm to have a shop swap the steering gear and shaft, both obviously warn. This tightene...

Sorry to disappoint

I know how little you all care for US guns.

What about this?

Gearing up for this year's poster.  Don't forget it must tie in with both the previous and any more to come.  I think this struck the best balance.

Episode 062: Russian Winchester 1895

Oh man, I'm exhausted already and estimate some 250-300 hours work needed before November 10th to be ready for a big machine gun filming segment.

PLEASE let it all go smoothly for once!

Thanks everyone for making the effort worth it.

Bonus Episode 061.5: Chamelot-Delvigne-Bodeo

Episode 61!

Honestly, did you guys think we'd make it this far?

An hour after I publish this, I'm dropping a patron-only bonus video, so keep an eye up as you finish the episode.

We filmed ahead today

Sorry gang, not going to be the next two episodes, they are locked in.  But while searching for a possible donor rifle to make a reproduction, we stumbled on an original!

Episode 60

So quick update:

At the moment we are on track for our first negative growth month on Patreon.  We're down all of $1.60 but I think it says something about us reaching the peak of our current market.

So if anyone has ideas about outreach, have at it.  We're a bit slammed through November but early next year I could star...

Episode 056: Belgian FN 1903

It's time to dig deep into some Browning designs.

Why it takes so long to make an episode

On the fly I said "30 hours per half hour."  I wish.

Whoops

Gun Santa

A friend of the show and rabid collector dropped by with a set of rifles for us. Try to name them all?

Every time.

Sometimes I like to stop by C&S Shooting Sports to quickly test guns or ammo. This time it was the Winchester 1907. As a bonus we brought along the MP18 to show the owner, a fellow milsurp buff. I think the last 5 times I have headed over were the same 5 days he finally took a day off.

State of the Project

All right gang it has been a busy few weeks and I'm sure you're all aware of the social media buzz in all directions.  So let's go over just what the heck you've been funding.

Just to recap we've been on 2 episodes of The Great War this week and had our friend Jeff at Taofledermaus rehost some shotgun footage to lure in new viewers.  Ho...

Glisenti 1910

We tried something new in the animation segment... we're toying with more.

'baitin

You lot had some ideas about baiting out more viewers.   Well, I've taken some of those recommendations and assembled this demonstration.  Let's see how it works!

Thank you all

I want to point out that I LOVE our patrons. I don't have to worry about appeasing some brand or product, or creating clickbait videos.

Also, when I noticed the Suburban dumped water from the heater core and that its reservoir looks like a zen fountain today, my only worry was moving around the schedule and downgrading some plans to fr...
