That's just kind of what we've got stuck into in the past couple of years.

With the success of our charging handles, we've had a lot of manufacturers and OEMs that have reached out to us to either apply the technology to something of a different platform or to help them fix something on their OEM side.

So that's really kind of the story of how Century Manufacturing began.

We've been extremely blessed with our industry connections.

We've been extremely blessed with the folks we've worked with.

We've accomplished some pretty incredible things in our short lifespan.

And again, we're not a charging handle company by any means.

We've just kind of got locked into this really niche arena where we've been slowly and surely supplementing more bandwidth for OEMs and picking up more clients in business.

Yeah.

So our, our deadlock charging handle, uh, our flagship product is a locking charging handle.

So this was born purely out of out of greed for from my business partner, Brandon, where we were doing some some training and we got tired of.

of charging handle snags, getting hung up on kit when we were doing some close quarter stuff, doing some room clearing practice.

We were doing it in a facility that was a little bit tighter than most.

So you kind of having to squeeze through door frames and folks and people.

So it's just an issue that we kind of said, hey, look, this is something that's maybe a little bit niche, but it has to be a problem for other folks, right?

So that's where we started.

The premise was to design a locking charging handle.

And that was kind of where it ended.

And that's kind of where I was given free reign over the design and was like, well, what else?

Right.
