Gun Rooms, FFL/SOT Licensing, and Frankenstein Firearms | Gun Talk Nation
Caldwell’s Jarred “Box” Grove is back on Gun Talk Nation for a wide-ranging conversation with Ryan Gresham — starting with the gun room he's building into his new house (nearly a quarter of the square footage, with a 100-yard range off the back porch) and the real-world tradeoffs of designing a home around a serious collection. From there they get into Box's manufacturer's FFL and SOT, what it actually takes to deal in firearms and full-auto post samples the right way, and why the paperwork discipline matters as much as anything else in that world.
The conversation also covers Box's other hobby, off-roading and Jeep builds, and how it compares to guns as a money pit. He walks through some of the more unusual firearms he's built over the years, and closes out talking about what's new at Caldwell — including the Claycopter and UFO Clays, and how they're getting more families and kids into clay shooting. A grounded, entertaining hour with one of Gun Talk Nation's regulars.
