Wednesday Review : 100 (Patreon)

1.  I hacked Ian's livestream, by accident.  Ian over at Forgotten Weapons was doing a live stream for supporters of his new book.  I saw he was live and thought I would call and congratulate him.  The moment my phone range his the stream died and after 5 rings and no pick up I figured he was busy with technical issues.  So I hung up.  The stream immediately returned.  Apparently he was using his phone.  

Of course, I made for for this buy alluding to the story of Mae stealing his pants, which caused the live commenters to spam him with pants emojis.  Basically, I'm his worst friend.  My bad.

2. I found a Sjogren hidden away somewhere inexpensive.  I'm very proud of this find.  But, for now, it isn't much use.  IF we are to cover non-US repeating shotguns we will need to locate a Becker, and a Larsen Winterros to make the first half of the series.  

3. Another Union Fire Arms has come in, and this one has yet another take down latch. That means we know of 5 variants of the gun, 3 variants of the latch, and strangely, this is the first gun to not stay in serial order on a feature.  This "type B" take down has a serial number sitting between two known to have "type C" latches.  

You can see our notes so far here:

If anyone spots a "Type 2" from that list, please let me know?  I'd love to buy one and thankfully they go very inexpensively.  I'm also curious if anyone has seen a "Type 0" ever or if anyone has seen a serial # under 1,000.  I suspect they started at 1,000

4. I spent the whole of yesterday filming way too many firearms at once in order to free time for my trip to Cody.  Only one had an issue so I will have to go back out next week for a touch up, but given the heat and exhaustion I kinda figured.  

It seems like every time I spend an entire day outside of cell reception everything goes bananas.  I came back to a number of business emails, personal messages, etc.  But as far as you all are concerned: apparently we're looking at Adpocalypse 2.0?  

Well if YouTube gets temperamental we always have BitChute, which I'm going to update this week.  I apologize that it is behind but it has this odd uploading method where the video sits in limbo, and you can't change release order, blah blah blah... basically I have to be present the whole time it is uploading and check on it every 10 minutes.  It drags on a bit.

Mostly, Mark's show is our big liability and it is already being de-monetized frequently.

5. If, for whatever reason, you don't care for Patreon, we do have SubscribeStar.  The numbers are just very low over there and we have not, yet, taken any cash from the endeavor.  However you do have that option.

6.  Worries aside, we finally made it to 100 episodes of Primer!  I'm taking it as a compliment that I rarely hear anyone wondering if we could even get that many guns out of WWI.  

I'm planning a brief video announcement on this point so no need to overdo it here.  I will, however, say THANK YOU ALL for the support.  Literally impossible without you, to an individual, and I mean it.
