Welcome to another T-Rex talk. This is going to be the last podcast episode of 2022. And as you guys know,

I'm excited by a lot of stuff, technologically speaking. I'm excited by, you know, radios,

fancy optics, thermal digital devices, GPS technology, lasers, stuff like that.

But I'm also really excited by basic manufacturing capability for a whole bunch of reasons

that I will get into now.

But first I want to say that as we are closing out 2022, I am extremely thankful for a lot of

growth. And as T-R-X has grown in sales, we've had more money to spend on expanding our product

offerings. As T-R-X media has grown, and there's been greater audience numbers on the YouTube channels and the

Instagrams and also the newsletters and this particular podcast as well.

That has opened up a whole bunch of fascinating doors.

And I really appreciate all of those things.

But something that is really exciting to me that we don't often talk about is in the last

few years

TRX has really grown in our manufacturing capabilities. Some of that is capacity and volume.

Some of that is knowledge. Some of that is knowledge that we have gained by being able to hire

engineers that have a great deal of knowledge. And some of that is stuff that we have

learned along the way. And some of it obviously is a hybrid of all of these things together.

Now we talk a fair amount about our political lobbying. We talk about stuff that we would like

to accomplish. We try to have a positive influence on the gun industry by promoting certain things

like body armor and night vision and the ideas surrounding gun culture 3.0. The conversation

about gun culture 3.0. But I'm actually super excited about the basic manufacturing capability

that T-Rex arms has. And let's be honest, it's not amazing.
