Can I kick it off?

Yo, we're going. It's live.

Merry Christmas. Happy holidays, everybody.

Welcome back to cartridge talks.

Our holiday cartridge talk series, Ryan's throwing me completely off.

Usually you just give me the two seconds at the two second mark, and I'm like immune to that.

And then all of a sudden

you just threw an entire monkey wrench in the whole thing did you did you have an intro I did yeah

this is one of my favorite gym stories uh it was shot show I believe 2018 or 19 oh he told me about

this yeah I maybe I don't know what we're doing then. And work on the floor, you had a meeting. You were gone. You came in and you had a look on your face like something happened. And you spit out the words, Ryan Winchester, Edd 1895, Steady Roosevelt, Guns, 4,05 Winchester. They have them in the booth. It's a shot so special today. We need to order them. And I'm like, oh yeah, we should do that. So we ordered two.

Are the listeners? guns of 405 Winchester. They have them in the booth. It's a shot so special today. We need to order them. And I'm like, oh, yeah, we should do that.

So we ordered two.

Are the listeners going to be, you might need to slow that down a little bit. No, that's fine. It'll all come. They'll all come. They'll get it. So we ordered two. Yeah, I actually didn't know which one we were doing.

So this is great.

And then three years passed.

He's right.

You ordered two what? 1895 Winchesters. Thank you. Chambered 405 Winchester. Because there's two cartridges you could have gotten that gun. Yeah. Yep. 3040 and we got the one. Yes, correct. I mean, you chose wisely. In fact,

was there even a choice? No. No, certainly not. I mean, I know there was a choice, but I'm saying, I wonder how many of the other one, you're like, no, I'll take that one. Very, you know, they are probably in doing so, they created a rare gun that will be worth something someday, but it'll just be worth something because it was so rare because nobody wanted it. I was hoping you brought it in.

This is the real one to get.

Yeah, to Ryan's point, three years later on an average day here at work. Yeah. Old, uh, old, well, Seamus sends me an email. He goes, hey, what are Winchester 1895s? And of course, I do what I typically do.

And I'm like, well, you see, it's this really interesting vertical magazine fed lever gun. It was a J&B patent made famous by Teddy Roosevelt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, cool, cool. Is it yours? Yeah, he's like, okay, why are there two in my office? I'm like, what? Why would I know the answer to that? I'm thinking, who else besides me would have ordered it?

Oh, my God.
