    Your story is virtually identical to mine over the years with interest in AR's early on and eventually several builds. Then onto pistols. Eventually got into USPSA and steel challenge with development of appreciation for higher end 2011s. Space in now a limiting factor and new purchases have slowed.. unless something new or unique catches my interest. Just yesterday I picked up my fifth Atlas.. the Apollo. Keep up the good work.

    Awesome hearing your journey. Im 9n a similar path, ive owned a few guns that i bought and sold, then really got into collecting in 2020. It started as just wanting protection during those crazy times so i bought a glock 26, fell into those same youtube rabbit holes of customization. Shortly after i purchased an AR and an AK the same day and have been obsessed since. Crazy how your taste changes the more and more you learn. Now ive been really into the 2011 scene. Ive been saving to get an into 2011 maybe a prodigy but someday i really hope to be on the level of 2011 collecting your on. Such an awesome collection definitely inspiring. Thank you for sharing

It’s a great gun to start with & there’s some simple mods that can really make it a great gun. Thanks for the comment!

Most will just do condensed video's from the main channel...the best ones are preceding that actual video like a movie trailer the day before; but you could also do some on just specific guns too from show and specs to shooting? This strategy seems to be working very well for most. 👍

    Hey bro...I got a question for you. I have also started a mini collection. Just got 15 guns the past 2 years. And along with them I will have 9 nfa items. With sbrs and suppressors. Question I have is have you thought about the day you will not be around any longer and what to do with all this stuff lol? I havent the slightest idea what to do. Can you even leave nfa items in a will? Just curious if thats ever crossed your mind. Great video!!!!!

    • @TheWeaponCollective
      @TheWeaponCollective  3 дні тому

      Hey, thanks for tuning in & thanks for the question. It’s a valid one. So I do all of my NFA items under a gun trust that I set up & so all NFA items will stay in the trust after I am no longer. In a trust you can assign a “responsible party” & they will take possession. It’s a 1000 year trust. If your NFA items were purchased as “an individual”, my understanding is that you can leave them in your will, but whoever you leave them to will have to go through the same procedure with the ATF as you did to buy them. They just won’t have to bear the initial purchase cost. A trust isn’t difficult to set up, there’s gun trust lawyers in your area I am sure. That’s what I suggest
