The past two months have shown significant growth in the channel on two fronts.
The first, largely from our explanation of the YT monetization never being a strong help and our airing of the "How it's Made" video. These appear to have informed our dedicated viewers that the show cannot exist or grow without direct support. I am VERY appreciative that people found our project worth sustaining. Consider yourselves all micro grant writers!
Next, for s...
Well, most of what it is we do to get it done did.

This took longer to assemble than I thought.... I've forgotten how much work we've done.

Our friend Rob was resisting the Patreon bug because he refused to acknowledge the breadth and quality of his talent. I'm glad to see he has come around and know he will use any and all funding to preserve even more firearms history.
For those of you fancy $5 patrons, I won't cry if you shave off a dollar for our friend.

So we're getting ready for Atlanta, trying to let Dave open the range publicly, and struggling with a wandering handguard...
But at least we managed to get one segment filmed!

Also, thanks for the record donations! If 100% of YT monetization disappeared we'd still be ahead.

While prepping the next episode we caught an error in the last. This is the corrected version.

SPAR 5814 - This is one of a number of items the Springfield Armory Museum received in 1920 from Captain J.L. Aney.

You guys asked for more Mark, we spent today experimenting at his still-being-assembled shop.
Still interested? Should we keep working in this direction?
I realized that between the render time for the episode and the upload and processing time on YouTube/Full30 I actually have some time to write a few notes. So let’s see if I can develop a pattern here.
Episode 43 been uniquely difficult. The New Army revolver isn’t exactly rare or terribly expensive but finding one in good running condition can be a small chore. The research material, however, was pretty hard to come by. Robert Best’s book is just about the only thing...

A generous donor has sent over his well-aged CLLE for the show to use and we've offered to make some repairs in exchange. This video was put together to update him, but we realized it's pretty fun to listen to Mark talk about his work.
We BELIEVE we can get him geared up enough to document his efforts in the coming months and might be able to get a 2nd show running, focused on the maintenance and repair of these odd pieces.
Sincerely, would you all enjoy that?
Re-uploaded with corrected ammo data.

Sadly missing its lower action cover, front and rear sights, and tripod. Anyone know were we could find some parts? The internals seem fine.

In just a moment I'm posting a video update thanking the Poster buyers. In it I claim that the Chrimmas photo will be poster only. I obviously lied because you, our Patrons, now have a digital copy.
I know it's before Thanksgiving but I had to ship orders.
