Just watched Ivan and Matt’s video on the Garand. Funny.

As a person who has way too many t-shirts, but still gets all the t-shirts every year.. I would love to have a way to donate a lump sum directly when I could. Executive Producer (Associate Producer, Key Grip, or Water Boy) would be a great reward that wouldn't add to the amount of stuff I have.

Coins are available for 100 at about $5.50 each. Price can vary somewhat, depending on features. https://military-and-le-patches.myshopify.com/collections/custom-designs/products/dumpster-fire i have ordered patches from them never custom but they seem like a solid company and worth looking into for the coins since they seem to offer them
Chairman
Is there an amount to give to get Unfiltered Othais on products he dislikes?
Brian Foster
You probably do not want to hear it, but the key to growth in any market is to not let perfection get in the way of good. The 80-20 rule is the gospel that should be followed. I'm not saying to compromise principals in any way, just take a look at the return. That, and some clever marketing. Maybe you and Ian put little inside jokes in the videos..
Shaun Keckler
Dude, name the goal, I want the crozier coin!
Halinspark
I was thinking about the challenge coin thing, and what you could do to alleviate materials costs is make then brass and see if anybody wants to donate used casings. It's thematically appropriate, and it's not like a lot of it is valuable or reloadable in the first place. But if I were in a position to meaningfully help with the endeavor, I'd have offered already.

DMs and direct email are the best way to take care of these! Check your inbox!
Jeremy Karnes
Where can I make a one time donation?
Bruce Brodnax
No, he can't legally bring ammo from out of state (even gulag inmates, er, "CA residents" can't buy ammo from out of state & bring it home,) he can't buy it here because of the PRK background check on ammo purchases, & I don't think anyone can even *give* him ammo once he gets here because of our B.S. unconstitutional laws here behind the Granola Curtain. Hopefully Saint Benitez will have handed down a ruling [for the *THIRD* time!] eliminating the PRK gun, mag & ammo bans the day before the C&Rsenal crew arrives and we'll have a week of sanity while they're here before things revert back to stupid again...
Bruce Brodnax
Have you got a good public library near you? You may be able to get some of the OOPs from interlibrary loan. Not that I'm advocating breaching copyright by scanning an entire book, but if the publisher can't keep something in print, is it really deserving of copyright protection? Just sayin'...
Toastmeister
At least we’re not as bad as New York, who’d arrest you on the spot for having a pistol. But also you wouldn’t want to bring your Bergmann (assault weapon pistol for having a magazine outside the pistol grip) or air service rifle (assault weapon for having a fixed magazine above 10 rounds)
Sander Vreuls
Welp. Good point.
Will Harper
This episode made me want to send Othias random crap and gaslight people. Also you are not kidding, over-engagement is a thing, from Alabama here and have full conversations with the Publix and Walmart staff every time I am in there. Very Southern.
joseph howerton
I know the feeling I've been buying and selling property in the Raleigh Durham area of NC and homes I used to be able to buy for 130k are now 300k ish or higher.
C&Rsenal
So, so strange and alien
C&Rsenal
Either. The short answer is we need more space but we don't have the money
C&Rsenal
Any time we produce a list of good only available on the used market, we create more competitors than helpers by about 100 to 1
C&Rsenal
The hope would be to at least handle the gas trap Garand. Springfield still has a lot in one place though, unlike the 1911 issue. Fewer produced iterations too
C&Rsenal
Good idea but I have a feeling we would get arguments about which # they got
John Thomas
If C&R gets on Ian's app, that whole lot could do coins.
David K. Jernigan
There were a lot of flapper locked soviet weapons.
David K. Jernigan
Not to mention the competing designs to the Garand like Pedersen, Johnson, etc.
David K. Jernigan
The challenge coin thing, etc. is way better than the mass shilling by every channel for olight, or the use my affiliate links on lex luthors amazon blah, blah, blah garbage.
Colburn Freml
For corporate sponsors, potential similar vein as Ballistol would be Lubriplate grease. It's maybe not the best grease out there, but it's the historically correct Garand grease.
Toastmeister
As someone from California (and also near taofledermaus), you’re right about the destination protections about FOPA. But a standard Luger with < 10 round magazine should be fine to bring as long as you keep it unloaded and in a separate locked container assuming you’re driving here. Also California doesn’t reciprocate ccw permits with anyone else, so the only people who can carry here are California residents. You’d also need to bring any ammo if you plan on shooting, because out of state residents can’t buy ammo here either…
Sam Taylor
Now, if you want to go crazy with the coins, get the other history gun-tubers to make coins as well so we have to collect them all. Isn't Ian collecting that list already for his app?
Sam Taylor
For the coins I'd recommend just number them and, at the most, have a ledger on your site with a name associated with a number (ie. Coin 205 - Joe Blow).
George William Herbert
Lugers should be fine to have in California. Older guns that aren’t an assault weapon is fine.
joseph howerton
Hypothetically would yall be looking for a separate structure for C&Rsenal stuff or an entirely new home?
Sander Vreuls
Would an Amazon or other shop wishlist for research material be an option? So people could one-time donate a book? Only suitable for "easily" purchasable books offc.
John Thomas
The 1911 is a llllloooonnnngggg chapter in gun history, how much fun is the Garand gonna to be to follow from birth to ping myth?
Charles McCormack
MAS 1944 is also a tilting bolt rifle.
Charles McCormack
The SVT-40 is flapper locked, not tipping bolt. That's the AG-42. The G43 is also flapper locked.
Primarch359
Maybe also sneak the executive producers in a news scroll on the top of the lightbox graphics or some other graphics earlier in the episode.
