Welcome, guys, to another T-Rex talk.

Today we are going to be talking about, I don't know if you can kind of see,

but I have a number of attachments, scopes, red dots, lights, lasers, guns, uppers, rifles.

I think we can show rifles on stream.

I've been told recently by a certain garland thumb that I'm allowed to show guns on stream again.

We'll see though. We might do that in a little bit. But I want to take some questions today on gun accessories, gun parts, and maybe help you guys out with some experiences that we've had in collecting a wide variety of equipment. And what's good, what's not,

what sucks, what's cool. Probably one of the biggest discussions is, you know, are these nicer

red dots worth the money, you know, compared to more budget options that come out of Asia?

And the answer is, yes, some of these optics out here, name brand

optics are more expensive. There are things about them that are a little more reliable,

and the companies behind them have really good customer service and warranty and all sorts

of other things that do make them expensive for a reason. My favorite comments, and as someone

in a manufacturing company, my favorite comments from people when you're talking price point on stuff is, why on earth does such and such a product cost $1,000, $500, or like shot time or stuff like that.

Generally speaking, 99% of the time, these are people who don't work in manufacturing, don't own a manufacturing

company, and they don't understand how expensive or difficult it is to get stuff made.

The levels that go into making, you know, an electro-optic, all the different parts, the electronics,

the overhead, the patents involved, the lawyers involved, the legal team, the testing involved. Like,

there's a lot that goes into making an optic, which, you know, and then at the end, the price

point of this optic has to ultimately pay for all that testing that occurred. Now, we mostly

produce cheaper products. I think one of the most expensive products we manufacture ourselves or

have had made is the

AC1 at $190. And even that has been a million-dollar plus project to get that done. And that's not
