Steady has been building sick guns for years, and professional gunsmithing has always been his dream. After watching him dump most of his money into gun parts and Monster, and despite barely knowing jack shit about pews at the time, Eric grabbed fate by the throat and brought Connex to life. The journey is never easy, but with Brent and Eric dumping in money, and with a pile of guns at our feet, at least we have the tools to defend ourselves.
We pursue this passion not just to be surrounded by happiness but to bring opportunities to our fellow Americans to protect their families, and have fun.
Our Team
US Army specialist, Joshua Steadman worked up to his life long goal of owning a “gun shop” with his favorite fuckin’ marine, Brent Yssel (2020-present). Steady, as he’s affectionately known, is an expert marksman, as well as a pyrotechnician, and has been teaching, building, and shooting since ‘Nam. Not really tho, it’s only been since 2017.
"Master" Eric was almost military, but instead decided upon a POG-ass college life. His marksmanship is stellar for a lefty as well as his late start in the game. He knows computers like a BAMF, so we keep him around. His achievements (master’s degree, LDS mission, and general wit) lent a big hand in getting Connex Arms started. also his 6-figure job was a big help seeing as his co-owners are both in the military.
Brent Yssel was born in California and has always had a passion for weapons, not necessarily for violent reasons but cause they're fuckin' awesome. It is his religious belief that everyone should have the tools and training to protect themselves. He and his cousin, Josh, have always had a dream of owning a gun shop. As a Marine it goes without saying, he loves America, its citizens, and Rick and Morty. Wubba lubba dub dub!
Da Fuck is a Connex?
A Connex is a large, steel-reinforced container developed by the US Army during the Korean War. It's often used as a container for shipping supplies or, on some occasions, as an "accommodation."
