Email is best. Social Media is... disjointed.

IndieGoGo has a direct message feature that you cannot check on the site and there is no on-site notification.  It just sends it to your inbox.  Which Gmail then files along with the million...

Belgian Mauser 1889

Woof, hopefully this 3 parter gets us caught up!

Why the schedule?

There are two ways to grow an online channel that never fail:

1. Sheer Volume

2. Consistency

Now, content and quality come in much lower, maybe not even 3 and 4 in terms of "growth." &n...

Time and the lack there of

We have never missed our Tuesday release. We have, however, released on Tuesday night in a desperate fervor.

This may be one of those weeks. Still trying to catch up after that week off, followed by...

A moment of thanks

Recently someone in a private creator group asked what were our biggest struggles to produce. Overwhelmingly the response has been about de-monetization. I admit, it is a concern to me but mostly beca...

Small Arms of WWI Primer 085: Winchester 1910

Another episode up!

Brainstorming and a trip

We took a trip out to the IV8888 shoot and had some fun getting back in touch with old friends and making new. Jay dubs this photo "Brothais."

While we obviously don't stand out to a lot of venders ...

Various updates.

Just a quick note, someone said they had trouble with the contact form on the site.  If you think it ate a message you can always email direct to CandRsenal@gmail.com.

Otherwise, I'm sorry...

Winchester 1907

I managed a 4 hour sleep from about 11am to 3pm this time!

Nooks and Crannies

TL;DR Our email is CandRsenal@gmail.com
This is the easiest way to reach me.

I just got caught back up on the "Community" tab here and I swear sometimes it does not notify me.  If I hav...

T-Shirt Update

I'm still being careful with funds just in case, but lots of little problems are getting sorted thanks to this campaign!

The Suburban Saga

Many of you have noted we've been plagued by repeated car trouble.  Some of this stems from my unwillingness to finance anything.  I buy cars cash and keep a pile of tools ready in the garag...

Hurricanes and Planning

First and foremost, we're all just fine.  While I grieve for those in North Carolina more affected by the storm, we have seen only a moderate rainstorm over the past 24 hours and nothing else exp...

Bolt Actions: 101

Well, time was short and we've been kicking this idea around for a while.

I promise something extra neat next time.

Hurricane prep is pretty much set.  Probably won't evacuate on t...

More than I thought.

Ok, so we had more Mandarin speakers than I assumed.  

Instead of replying to everyone I'll take advantage of the wide field and let this guy set up a demonstration episode.  Once ready I'...

Mandarin

Do we have any Mandarin speakers handy?
I have had an offer to host/translate C&Rsenal material on bilibili and was hoping I could find someone to review a demo episode to see how the translato...

Planning

So the shirts on in production and we managed a health margin of about 1/3rd the total.  

This cash is extremely helpful because half will go towards cleaning up outstanding debts and dela...

Thank you

For making this of only vague consequence.

Also, showing a video on how to make videos about guns is apparently bad.

My Mom would have freaked out

The campaign hit 100k. I have to wait for Mae to get back so I can film the Crozier berries and thank everyone properly.

But right now, just for you patrons, a bit of pure honesty: all I can think a...

I retweeted a Kekistani

Last night I retweeted someone who had blamed us for their buying a guinea pig.  It was very cute.  They also had a Kekistan flag avatar.  

Some people have demanded I undo this ...

Kansas City

Patrons in the area, do remember I will try to spend most of tomorrow at the WWI museum!

Small Arms of WWI Primer 082: The Kropatschek Pt.1

I should have chosen something easier.

I am not smart.

On Kansas City

Here is the GENERAL plan:

Ride Motorcycle about 8 hours a day for several days. Camp in one man tent most nights.  Reach Kansas City afternoon of the 20th and book to camp (they have a 9pm cut ...

On the nature of Money

With the success of this year's T-shirt run I've had some interesting questions and comments about what a fully funded C&Rsenal would look like.

Here is a recap:

Lost Job, Dead ...

Thank.

I know a LOT of these orders are coming from you lot, so thank you again for all the support.

Shirts are back!

We're carrying 7, which may prove too many to hit the minimum profitable order going forward.  So some designs may have to retire next year.

Maxim 1910 (Maxim Part 2)

Just in time!

I have two more episodes to prep before I hit the road for a week starting the 19th-ish.  I'll try to update you guys about some stops, notably Kansas City.

Which is more better?

We can only choose 1 base for bulk order, so which would you prefer if you were in a T-shirt buying mood?

Kansas City

All right, so a bit more about the trip.

I am attending a wedding in Denver and could and still may, just simply fly there the day before.  However, I have always wanted to drive west, I've onl...

I read them all

As the show has grown I've had so little time for replying to individual comments.  BUT I do make time to read them, even if it takes the rest out of restroom.

Sadly I just can't personali...
