SHOP NOWClint opens the first Classic Firearms livestream of 2024 with community Q&A across multiple platforms. He discusses recent range time, upcoming SHOT Show coverage, and industry events on the calendar.
Clint opens the first Classic Firearms livestream of 2024, welcoming viewers and wishing everyone a Happy New Year. He notes that the stream is running simultaneously on Instagram, Rumble, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, and mentions needing to mute his Instagram live so audio does not overlap. He jokes about forgetting to check Rumble during the last livestream and promises not to repeat that mistake. Clint sets expectations that he will try to get to as many comments as possible, while explaining that super chats are easier to see because they stand out visually. He pushes back on the idea that he only responds to paid messages, but acknowledges that if someone pays for a comment, he wants to make sure it gets addressed.
Clint addresses comments about the livestream thumbnail, which features an authentic FAL with a Rhodesian-style paint job. He clarifies that it is a genuine Fusil Automatique Léger, not a clone, and describes it as one of his favorite rifles. He compares it to his own DS Arms SA58 that sits next to his RA-15 at home. He recalls shooting a full-auto FAL at Kalash Bash, estimating it was a little over a year ago, and says that shooting a full-auto FAL is something he would recommend to anyone who gets the chance. Clint considers showing a video of himself shooting the rifle from his phone, but hesitates because of how YouTube’s algorithms might interpret a phone screen showing gun footage on camera.
Clint reads early comments from viewers across Instagram, Rumble, YouTube, Twitter, and Twitch, including lighthearted criticism about pricing and New Year greetings. He thanks everyone for tuning in and moves to the first super chat from a viewer congratulating him on becoming a father. Clint shares that he is now a twin dad to a boy and a girl, noting that he usually keeps his personal life quiet but is excited about this news. He mentions that more personal updates appear on his own Instagram account, magdumpmorgan, but emphasizes that he mainly appreciates people being present in the livestream. He continues to acknowledge usernames and regular viewers, reinforcing the community feel of the session while keeping the tone casual and conversational.
Responding to a question about what he plans to add to his collection in 2024, Clint talks about ongoing conversations with FoldAR. He recalls first seeing FoldAR with his friend Brandon at an NRA Annual Meeting a couple of years earlier and says he has decided to get one, or possibly more than one, of their folding AR platforms. He notes that FoldAR was recently featured in a Classic Firearms video about budget-friendly guns. Clint then shifts to the Oracle Arms 2311 currently in his possession. He explains that it is a 2011-style pistol designed to use SIG P320 magazines, with its own distinct design. He has one of the T&E guns and has put roughly 300 to 400 rounds through it so far, tracking the exact count separately. He plans to run at least another thousand rounds before releasing a full video, with an initial impressions video likely to be recorded soon, and hints he may end up keeping the pistol.
Clint outlines Classic Firearms’ plans for SHOT Show 2024, noting that the entire team will attend. He lists Matt, himself, Ka, Jason, Ryan behind the camera, John, and others such as Grant, Robbie, and Andrea, one of the primary editors, as part of the group heading to Las Vegas. He mentions that a podcast episode about what the team is looking forward to at SHOT Show will be recorded the next morning and is expected to release on the 12th. Clint also talks about his increased involvement with the Gundy Awards this year, since the event will be hosted in Las Vegas the night before the first official day of SHOT Show. He notes that Industry Day at the Range is on Monday, the Gundy Awards are Monday night, and that he is again nominated for Most Influential, thanking viewers who voted for him.
Clint answers a super chat asking which booths he is most excited to visit at SHOT Show. He lists Daniel Defense as a priority stop to see if they have anything new for the year. He mentions that Zastava Arms and Panzer Arms have already reached out and that he plans to visit them, joking about the “Turkinelli” nickname for Turkish shotguns. He adds LWRCI to the list of manufacturers he intends to see. Clint then explains that SIG Sauer will not have a booth, range day, or SIG Experience event at SHOT Show. After contacting SIG, he says he understands the cost considerations and that SIG does not necessarily need the exposure, but he finds it notable from a customer-relations standpoint. He notes that SIG will still have representatives on the ground and that the freed-up marketing budget will support several separate events throughout the year, which Classic Firearms plans to attend. He also mentions a Beretta range day on Sunday, a Daniel Defense exclusive range day on Monday, Industry Day at the Range on Monday, the Gundy Awards Monday night, and an agency after-hours shoot on Tuesday involving Genesis Arms, Disavowed Group, and others.
