Sightmark and Pulsar Feb 21, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re at SHOT Show joined by Kevin Reese of Pulsar and Jeff Murray from Sightmark. We open the episode diving into thermal optics and the explosion in the outdoor scene over the last few years. A huge push came from predator hunting videos skyrocketing in popularity on YouTube, Instagram, and other venues. Predator and hog hunting gave outdoorsmen a way to utilize their year long hunting leases by giving hunters something to do during the off-season plus a way to keep the predator population in control. Make sure to tune into this episode presented by GunBroker.com to hear all about thermal optics from the view of Kevin and Jeff!

Closing out we dive into how much thermal optics have changed over the years. It wasn’t that long ago when thermal optics used to weigh more than your firearm did. Today’s thermal technology has shrunk dramatically which allows thermal hunters to be way more mobile than in days past. We discuss the difference between digital night vision and thermal, with Kevin’s opinion that almost everyone who tries thermal never wants to go back! While thermal and night vision alone are not cheap to get into, one of the good things is most of the optics if you invest in a good product truly do hold their value for when you want to upgrade in the future. Logan asks the guys their favorite thermal optic, the guys give the run-down of their favorite and why exactly they like it, you don’t want to miss this!

The Gunfather Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re at SHOT Show joined by Louie Tuminaro, aka The Gunfather. Starting out Logan dives into the background of Louie’s restoration business, which you can see in episodes of the Outdoor Channel series, The Gunfather. Starting out on his show, Louie did a ton of Colt restorations, enough to the point that it caught the attention of Colt which has led them to being an Authorized Colt Service and Restoration Center! Louie gives us a rundown of what exactly they do under “restoration,” his biggest priority is doing the right service for people even if that means turning down a restoration on a beautiful firearm because it would be better suited left in the condition sent to him. Make sure to listen in to this episode Presented by GunBroker.com to hear all about Louie and The Gunfather: Restorations!

Next up, Louie dives into the process of restoring a gun to right-off-the-line, brand new condition! He covers the entire process from sanding in the right direction, to sourcing the parts that takes the firearm back to day one condition. We have a discussion on where he sources parts, why he sources the original parts, and how much of a difference it makes doing a complete date period restoration. We discuss the values of firearms such as the Colt 1911 in different states, including modified and completely restored. You may be surprised at just how much the values vary depending on what state the firearm is in at the time. Louie nails the values directly on the head with how they differ from one to the other.

Closing out, we discuss using laser engraving during restoration. Logan cringed a bit when he first saw a laser engraver going on a firearm restoration, however Louie discusses how his business uses them versus using roll marks to restore the firearm. Louie emphasizes how he and his business really pour their all into the restorations they do, with the customer’s happiness being the absolute end goal. This is not an episode you’re going to want to miss!

Opening up, Larry gives us a history of Independent Studio Services, which is the largest prop house in North America, and most likely in the world, with that also including the largest armory of firearms. One of the largest industries for them has moved towards video games, ISS provides scans of firearms and also the sounds for each firearm. While firearms are a huge portion of ISS, they are indeed a full-service prop house that reaches worldwide. Make sure to tune in to this episode presented by GunBroker.com to hear all about Independent Studio Services and what services they provide to the media industry!

Next up, Logan asks about recent movies or work that ISS firearms were showcased in. Larry gives a run down on some of the TV shows and movies that ISS has provided firearms for, including huge titles like the Marvel Universe! During a typical year, ISS will provide 75 -80% of the firearms for the media industry. Dan asks how it works if a firearm or firearm accessory is banned in a country and needs to be used for filming in the country. In that case they will use rubber and replica firearms to get the shots needed. Larry also tells us his history of how he became an armorer for Independent Studio Services and got involved doing what he does now.

Closing out we talk about how armorers interact with actors on the set of films. The armorer is always there during the scenes and is supposed to be the first person on set after cut has been called to remove the firearm from the actor. Larry talks about how important it is to build an early rapport with the actors so that everything flows smoothly on set. Logan also asks what the most difficult firearm to convert to fire blanks would be. Larry tells us the most difficult ones to make fire blanks are long recoil firearms. Larry’s goal is to try to keep the gun as close to real as possible so that on screen it all looks seamless.
