Announcement 🎉 We Hit 15,000 Members!

[ikeo1]

At the end of December, we were celebrating 10K members. Now, just a few months later, we’ve officially crossed 15,000. That’s a huge milestone for the site, and the growth just keeps accelerating. Behind the scenes, I’ve been working on getting a few final pieces in place (waiting on a supplier) for the shirts, but momentum hasn’t slowed one bit. We've run into some issues but those should be handled soon.

Your contributions, reporting listings, flagging messages, and helping keep the site clean, are a big part of why this platform works so well. Every bit helps. Looking ahead, we’re aiming to double up again and continue building the best experience possible for both new and seasoned 2A enthusiasts.

Let’s keep it going!

I just want to give a quick shout out to all our CAguns Supporters & Sponsors

Our newest sponsors and existing are:
@ManzanoMunitions - FFL
@Ammo Guy - Ammo
@raellic - Law
@Solar Tactical - FFL
@Sparrow Dynamics - Give-a-way Sponsor for Accessories
@goodguycarry - Training

@OC Coating & Machine - Cerakote Services

@All Alpha Armory - CA FFL Specialist
@EBR Works - CA FFL Specialist
@PKSFFL - FFL
@ugimports - FFL
@T3 Pros - our first sponsor when we had 50 people lol.

Also special shoutout to @doser for helping me get this started and taking the time to help learn and write all the instructions in the beginning..


Here's a preview of the finalized designs for the shirts that will be ready for preorder. I'm trying to keep the prices at $21 but those tariffs might change things! Oof.. This will be the design on the back. Sweaters I'm trying to keep around $50. Basically little profit just to cover the costs to get things out there. This is going to be Pre-Sale only so if you don't reserve one, we won't really be carrying any stock.

Note: If we can do well on the shirt sales, we'll roll some features down from the supporters side or won't have to limit usage.

PS. I didn't forget about you 10k guys for that give-a-away! Thanks for the patience, once I can slow down a bit or get some help we'll be running that give-a-away.

Raccoon T shirt yes!!

 

[Striker777]

Awesom work ….I need a T shirt

 

[Pewpewwagon]

Are the T shirts made in USA? How about making some stripped lowers with a caguns logo.

 

[joefrank64k]

Nice work!!

Great idea. I still have my CalGuns JD Machine lower, haha!!

 

[Calibreeze]

Whoooa!! Continue to bring our fellow calgunners over to Caguns. Let's go!!!

 

[T3 Pros]

Awesome! Please put me down for a shirt also!

Keep sharing caguns.net with all your friends! It benefits everyone to have a larger community here.

The blanks are not made in the US but the printing is done in SoCal by veteran owned business. US cotton is already almost the asking price as blanks the cost would double.

I wouldn’t even know where to begin with lowers..

Shirt quality is #1. We all have bought shirts and learned by not buying cheap shirts. You know the ones that you wear once and shrinks regardless of putting in dryer or not. Soft cotton or partially cotton shirts that do not shrink. Some of those Grunt style or Black Rifle shirts are made out of good stuff. But looking at the price and to help this site by purchasing these, maybe not? So any idea of materials? Also, any more shirts without this racoon or whatever it is? A Black bear with CA, people have no idea what that is?

We'll have other ones coming out later that look more polished on a shirt. This is ultimately for our first year and how scrappy we were putting CAguns.net together. We'll be coming out with different releases from time to time. We're barely 1 year old.

90%cotton 10% poly the other lightweight one is a little less cotton

The fit and feel is lighter side and soft. The quality is good and all shirts will be hand screened. The cost is lower because there's hardly any markup on them, a few bucks for shipping materials & supplies. The first round I thought it was important to get the shirts out in the wild as many as possible for the initial run. If you look closely the A has a gun in it so it's very subtle. One of those IYKYK (if you know you know) kinda things.

A lot of people don't like to put the website on their clothes, so we offered a subtle and a loud one. There's a wide range of people here which is cool but difficult in its own ways. All that to say, we're just getting started!

After that add a more standard pricing once we get our logistics and process down.

Racoon for me, awesome. Need size choice for us older chubby (OK, fat) guys.

 

[Bonyfattony]

Put me down for an XL in the raccoon

 

[WretchedBadger]

Lets gooooooo!

What is the story behind the raccoon. Was it a pet?
