I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land is free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. Invist the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave to steal the land of the people? both on and behind the lines at occupied territories, south, southwest, north, and network, and also, we have microstations across the United States and other alternate communication systems, our n.cran.com, always in the background, but we're working on it. Back in 1775, ladies and gentlemen, we're only hours away from Patriot's Day right now. This evening, in La Revere, wide, polls that are points of contact and send them on their way, People are tense in Boston. They know that something's afoot. The British are, as we said before, keeping things close to the vest as the term used to be. In that they're paying attention to who's watching them while other people are watching right back. And in the process, of course, the Patriots have set up a signal system. and one if by land, two if by sea, so that nobody will be caught off guard or surprised as the British try to slink out of Boston to sortie out to places unknown. Well, eventually they would actually know even to the point where, you know, what the location was and Lexington and Concord were the goal. At this point in time, the British have been establishing all of their supply and support transfers. Well, the quarter masters know what's going on. Some of the other senior officers that were knowledgeable of the basic affair now know that tonight is the night the regulars are planning on leaving Boston and heading out across the countryside. On the other side, well, the Patriot militias have been prepared for a number of days. Experiences before, they've seen this, so for them it's not a surprise. The Patriot militias, the whole issue is, well, where will the British go? That's the question of the people out there are waiting. And on April 18th, 1775, than 24 hours from the shot heard around the world in 1775 and down that day is? 19th April. That's right. And it dark. Beforehand, before that, there was a lot as we've talked earlier, welling up in the people. Henry's give me or give me death. We've read it on the air. You know what I mean? They resented something else they did. And we all know about the key party. We just don't know what happened in New York, Philadelphia. You know, when it happened in Annapolis Mark, they threw the tea overboard and burned the vessel burned the vessel. Just one can well imagine the agents of a king are his representatives. They have to do something. Put a they denied ships entry to over a Boston. That's right. And I want to read a little bit of text to me a moment and soak this up because I want to remind you that it wasn't just Patrick Henry give me liberty or give me death. Listen to this. According to a very numerous and respectable body were assembled at near 1000 people when a huge pole 45 feet high was erected and consecrated to the Shrine of Liberty after which the Act of Parliament for blocking up the Boston Harbor was read aloud, sentenced to the flames and executed by the hands of the common hangman. And the following resolves were penned, mem con for unanimously. Greatest dignity, dignitum to be united with our current state while our liberties are duly secured, maintained and supported by our rightful sovereign, the person we greatly revere, whose government we administrate it, ready with our lives and our properties to support, and led upon by their wicked and corrupt hearts, have a design to take away our liberties and properties and to enslave. The late act, caused to be passed in Parliament for blocking up the Port of Boston, is unjust, our sharers in the insults offered to the town of Boston. Fourth, and parasites who dared to advise their master, George III, to such detestable measures shall be headed in utterances of all succeeding generations, scorn the chains of slavery, with every attempt to fund the freedom of the people. In fact, one of the things, as is pointed out, is that the men and women who were stepping forward in this issue emphasized that they understood that they had a loyalty provided the other end of the stick, the goobermint, was fulfilling its part of the contract. Goobermint, in this case, the crown, well, I should say the king of England and the corporate crown, were both at odds with the American people. And that's of course where things would be building to a head step by step, day by day, because the common welfare, these creatures knew that they shouldn't be performing as they were. They knew that they were doing wrong. But they proceeded anyway, and everybody who was knowledgeable, all the people who had been part of the Gerald Societies, the men who had been with the militia, those who had fought the French and Indian War as militia, which made up the majority of the fighting forces on the ground contrary to what they tried to show. Those spiffy red suits show up nicely on the battlefield, but the regulars were not the dominant force on the battlefield. They were just one of many elements that made up the fighting forces of both the British and the regular French forces on the other side who had French and Indian militia. A lot of people, they intentionally fog that issue. They tried to make it look like it was these very specific and narrow, quote-unquote, professional forces. And then it's the farthest point from the truth with regard to how war was fought here in North America. It was a great insult to have these regulars not show up to fight the aggressor on the frontier, but instead to be brought into the people's homes and basically used as cameras to spy on the population. That was one of the major issues between that. That's what they're talking about, riveting the chains of slavery upon them, a combination of taxation, usurpation of authority, the attack upon the individual's sovereignty. All of these things were issues that had been presented, brought forward. Magna Carta had one, two, and three. had demonstrated the rightful place of man, our unalienable rights with God, with regard to our contract there. And they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were running along, they proceeded anyway with many, many warnings. The one that Don read, the Fairfax Resolves, just shortly before the opening of hostilities, George Washington presented, many other good men presented. It's a checklist. Forgive me, I don't have a copy of my fingertips. I usually do, but I gave the one copy that I had just inside the wire. I left all that behind with friends and allies who could use them. But I do have a copy here on file I have to pull out. Hopefully I'll have that, please. Bye tomorrow when we do our April 19th program. We're going to read an overview of the Fairfax results. We'll read some key points there, too. Mark, I'd like to squeak a couple of them. The type of... There was a guy, his name was Daniel... rising against the king. Eventually they forced him to flee from the world. He just went four different directions. Wait, come back. That's my leg. Kind of like remember what the scarecrow said? That's part of me over there. And that's another... Hey, they were doing tongue in cheek just exactly what you're talking about. Many symbolic aspects to the Wizard of Oz that are tied right into all the things that we talked about on the air. Now Don, today is kind of a weapons Wednesday here for our program. And before we go any farther, one of the other things I wanted everybody that's on this network to know is that you do night vision. Yes, thank you Mark. And I'd like if you could give all your contact information out so people know how to get hold of you and get hold of the night vision, please. Well, I do my best to be, if you like, call me up, let me know the model number, reach me at 231. How does that go Mark? This is the only line in for the compound and tunnel network. Wait till we're done with the programming. Object here, because there's a lot of different things that are kind of interesting. Back not long after the American Revolution. Arms, of course, most everybody pictures firearms as being just that. Weapons that required flintlock or caps, you know, slash percussion, to activate the main charge. They utilized a number of different types of projectiles in different sizes. Wasn't any night vision back then, but they did use illumination technologies to the front of the troops for night fire, night operations. A number of different systems were in place, but most people don't think about air rifles as being combat arms. The reason I'm bringing this up is because a lot of you out there have some really cool, well, air powered systems. Pretty big bore. Most people would think, well, these can't really be applied as conventional arms. Well, wrong. About 1800, actually just a little before 1800, the Austrian military adopted and deployed vast numbers of air muskets. That's right, air muskets. In fact, you've seen pictures of them and probably didn't realize it and have seen the troops that would normally be carrying the combat load that's affiliated with it. These muzzle loading air rifles were big bore, 60 caliber. They were, of course, and again, remember 200 plus years ago, by the way, these weapons were quite effective. They were used both by the Austrians, but also by several other European powers. Now you might pay attention with a lot of the wood carvings or wrapping paper you get sometimes, you'll see block cuttings that were used for ornamental paper covering. They come and go at different seasons. The prints are out there in the industrial complex. When they show up as birthday wrap or whatever, the picture saw a soldier holding what looks like a conventional musket. But just in front of the trigger guard, there's this weird ball. It looks like a tear-shaped ball or like a pear. And it is screwed into the base of the weapon. And it looks kind of odd. Most people don't think about this to think, oh, that's kind of a strange thing, but it must serve some purpose. Well, it did. That was the air tank for these air rifles that were capable of killing people out to 300 yards. Yes. Now, how effective were these weapons? Well, the Spanish military, before the Peninsular Campaign with Napoleon, had purchased these air rifle systems and deployed them with their army. Now, while the Spanish military was outmaneuvered, the weapons themselves proved to be pretty reliable. Not only were they reliable, but they were the perfect warfare weapon. Think about this Don, an air powered muzzle loading rifle that you could reload several times off the same little tank, made no noise, created no flash, had no smoke. These weapons became so telling in the Spanish guerrilla war against the French occupation forces that Napoleon set up a standing order that anyone caught with the rifle captured with one of these weapons should be executed immediately. that you tell you something that kind of a compliment to the capability of the arm but they hated it that's right and on interesting thing with the basic rule of warfare one of the rules of land warfare is that a weapon must produce noise must produce flash and uh... you know must have specific characteristics with regard to the projectile Now all of that comes from the old, you know, the Napoleonic era with regard to the rules of land warfare. This is why silencers, think about this, why aren't there silencers on every firearm on the battlefield? Wouldn't that make sense? Of course it wouldn't knock out all the sound, but it would knock out a good portion of the noise. All of this is because the powers that be have set up specific rules everybody's supposed to follow. Well, the air rifle eventually is surpassed by other arms. goes out of favor. I think as much as anything, DuPont and many other companies who like selling gunpowder didn't really want anybody to be thinking about free air for projectiles because it kind of takes the winds out of the sail, oops, I'm sorry, pardon the pun, when it comes to selling arms because you might sell the weapons but you don't sell much ammunition. You know what I mean? There's no follow-up, there's no future. Right. And if you're curious about how they, well, how could they fill up these tanks of air? How could this, you know, people are thinking like rustic technology, all the technology for military application, remember, pretty much was always cutting edge within every society. And so in this case, they had a series of canister fixtures hooked up to a pumping system that looked like the old fire truck pumpers you're all familiar with where you have bars on either side and as one team pushes down, the other lets the other bar on the opposite side ride up and as they pull down on either side, they create the pumping motion. Well, that's exactly what they did for pumping up the air canisters. The shot was automatically manufactured and factory manufactured, so there wasn't a big deal there. a very simple system. They were very lightweight. They didn't have anything other than the air tanks to carry. And as we know, what are you going to add? A few more feather quarter ounces of air with compression? I mean, certainly there's some weight there, but it's not really counted. The containers themselves, the extra air containers, were held in a bandolier that crossed from the left shoulder down to the pistol belt, down to the service belt. And this is another thing. You've probably seen this and didn't know what you were looking at. But you may have seen wood cuttings or you may have seen drawings that were done from the period that show these soldiers with these massive numbers of little pear-shaped nodules about the size of the, you know, they fit in the palm of your hand, the base of it would. And they're hanging on this web gear that this person has across his body. Well, those were the extra canisters for the air rifles. So it's rather interesting, it's right in your face but they don't want you to think about it. Well, think about this. Let's do some cool things here. Let's think some technology through. What about a heavier barrel on a standard? In other words, take the lighter aluminum barrels that you see, although there are some titanium barrels, I understand. Take the lighter aluminum barrel off of your air rifle. Put a steel, 41-40 chromoly, put it all on the weapon, smooth bore, IC type. And then let's see, discarding sable hourglass rounds projected utilizing a smaller aperture in the base of the rifle. Now, you could press to just under subsonic, you know supersonic, just, you'd be subsonic, and the number's not gonna make a whole lot of noise. No rifle crackdown range. No rifle crackdown range, no flash, and a 500 grain projectile going after Bambi when the time comes. Or whatever kind of Bambi you can imagine. You know, or the coyote, that's right. So with that being the case, this is an interesting combination. It would not be a big deal to continue to project this technology forward. I will remind you that historically, they didn't have all the cool carrying systems and container systems that we have now or the alloys and resin technology. They did it with iron and steel. Do it like this. Your regulator would need, now let's mark in particular the small All emergency boxes, three inches in diameter. Gives you even more pressure. Imagine, oh yeah, about 2,800 pounds. Yee-haw. And now the thing is that, again, it's purely a matter of your combat weight would only be the basic support technology for the arm as far as the parts that are attached to the weapon. The optics and only the projectiles would add combat weight to the soldier in the field. Yeah, I mentioned 2,800 pounds per square inch. Yeah. And like the bottle. The bottle's only going to weigh maybe six pounds. Now, some of you might recall when you think about it that when you go, and I don't know if they're still doing it, but they were doing it, that when you were going to the paintball matches, you had to chronograph your paintball gun to make sure that it wasn't traveling at too high a velocity. So the technology is there for smaller arpeggios that focus a greater amount of energy through a smaller space, in a smaller area, at the same PSI applied behind the arpeggio. Now, this is something where again, technology improvements. Instead of alloys, go to 4140 or 4130 chromoly steel or go to titanium. Get light weight but still get all the strength of steel. And again, you're not going to even have a... Think about this guys. No thermal signature. Think about that. Don, that's the other technology. They're hoping to see that powder bloom or that that FLIR, oh that's right like we saw in the video tapes of Waco when they were killing the people there from outside. Or as a caveat even a hot barrel fleeing an area of operation. That's right. In fact just to reverse as we know depending on how much area you use and the type of system you might actually have a cooling problem. So there's some issues and it depends on what you use. Some people propose using liquid nitrogen for propulsion. This is for evacuation purposes with wear and tear on a barrel that might use a higher cyclic rate. Don't worry about that. We're talking about shoulder arms. We're talking about simple technology here. Just take a look and how would you beef up the existing system to make it a, let's just, if nothing else, not a magazine fed, although magazine fed would be very easy. Think about this. Your magazine fed hourglass is guarding Sable round. would only require a magazine as long as the Sable itself. No propulsion chamber, no primer cap, nothing like that. So it's a straight stick magazine that has to allow for proper feed to bring the Sable up into battery to be chambered. That's it. On the other hand, imagine the incredible accuracy that you could develop with a bull barrel on a pneumatic system capable of reaching 1,000 1,200 yards. I think we can look at those distances. And again, a very stable 500 grain projectile. So here's another solution. These are just the ideas where we're planting seeds. It's Weapons Wednesday here on the Intel Report. And for all of you out there listening, again, think it through. Take a look at the system. The cool thing down is you've got all these already screw or pop type systems for the air canisters. So you can carry spare canisters just like they did 207 years ago. Gee a 200 year old technology duh But you're taking all the plastics all the metals and you're lightening the system even more and more felt recoil would be minimal but Recoil systems or shock pads for instance think of that nature can be added to create some comfort for the shooter So this is an area that we'd like you to think about air Rifles were used and have been used for combat very very effectively don't let anybody make you believe otherwise do some research on this by the way and again don't try to necessarily google it you can you can find some stuff out there but go to the libraries if you want to really do some cool research go to the used bookstores and find smith small arms of the world this will give you all kinds of cool information and depending on what year of smiths you have because each year they print a new one Smith's reviews has a military review of all arms in military service for each country demonstrating what they have and having a photograph of each model either or variant made or manufactured by the country in one form or another. Either made is fabricated from other weapons systems they've bought from other countries or whatever. So take the time, find the Smith's small arms of the world. Amazingly enough they do some little articles, or not little articles. And these are books, these are like Jane's. Most people are familiar with the Jane's books. infantry weapons. Okay, Smith's Small Arms is the competitor for James. If they're out of print, okay, in more recent years, and I haven't looked to see if they're still printing in the last six, seven years, at the very least go to these bookstores. If you see copies of Smith's Small Arms, they're in large format, you hardbound books, they're very well engineered, enamel paper. Preserve them, save them, get them off the shelves and out into private hands where they can be used. Because they're priceless books. By the way, there is or there were a few articles covering the compression error systems we're talking about that were muzzle loaders. Well, we're at the bottom of the hour. It's the first half hour of the Intel report, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to leave you for a few minutes and then we'll be back. Great host, great topics, brief speech at its best.

However, the company wanted to basically take PokerFace's music over. Well, from our history, we've seen many Patriot authors who have been part of a commercial label and had their music virtually suppressed. While the music was perfect, it fits. If you listen to this song, you're going to find out. If you watch the Patriot, it's like, yeah, that's cool. Well, I'll tell you what. If you've had a copy of any of our DVDs or CDs, I'm sorry, DVDs or VHS tapes that are out there, you've seen this song with a Patriot, the Patriot, the movie music video. A lot of people asked, hey, why isn't this on the DVD? Why isn't this on the trailers or, you know, like as part of the DVD when they released it? Well, that's because it was done way ahead of the movie and it was because we had friends in several different locations and we engineered uh... from this end in fact we did it right here with an ally and my oldest son and my youngest uh... working together and they have created the video so if you get a chance and you get a copy of one of our tapes or one of the music video collections you're going to see rather die than be your slave the music video and here's the thing all the video that you see in there were pre-release cuts that we got hold of that were given to you know we're black stuff to watch it You'll understand why people said, well, why wasn't this on the DVD? The song and the movie mesh. They're perfect. And the imagery is fantastic. So again, beware. And for those of you who have already seen this, you can tell your friends about it now that we reminded you. Go over to the shelf, pull off the CD. I'm sorry, pull off the DVD or pull off the VHS tape. Plug them in the machine and show people this little video because it's a lot of fun and it's inspiring. It was very, very well executed. Of course, talking about our boys. But this is in line with our subject today, which of course has to do with Patrick Henry. His speech, which led up to the Battle of Lexington and Concord, one of the many different matches that lit the major bonfire that became the conflagration of the War of the Rebellion, as we call it, per se, the British do, the Rebellion against the Crown. For us, we call it the War for Independence, and we were successful. We did it. take our time here but we're going to cover it before the end of the hour. And again, remember that Patrick Henry had spoken all across the colonies. He was known very well. He was a firebrand even before he gave this speech. And of course, he had worked many of the people's minds. He asked questions. He didn't just comment and quite direct everybody by saying, here, see this, do this. Although he did on occasion, you know, go that far. Most of the time the idea was to ask the right questions to get the brain gears going because that's most important anyway it's a church standing room only people are up above people are by the windows people are crammed into the pulp semi-run into the into the uh... seats the back door is brimming with people people outside that are trying to hear of course has been an ongoing debate about participating in all in a rebellion against uh... the issues that are at hand the president No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism as well as the abilities of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the house. But different men often see the same subject in different lights, and therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful of those gentlemen, if entering, as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs. I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery. And in proportion to the magnitude of the subject, ought to be freedom of debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinion that such time through fear of giving offense I should consider myself guilty of treason toward any country, and of any act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mr. President, it is natural for a man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shed our eyes against a painful truth and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us. Is this the part of wise men engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed? to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. And by judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British Ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have pleased to sulless themselves and the House. Is it the insidious smile with which our petitioner has been lately received? Trust it. Sir, it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious perception of our petition comforts with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. There are implements of war and subjugation. Last argument to which kings resort. Last, gentlemen. What means this Marshal Array? If its purpose be not to force us to submission. Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy in this quarter of the world to call for this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir. She has none. They are meant for us. They can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those change which the British Ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try our argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable. But it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned, we have remonstrated, we have supplicated, prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and parliament. Our petitions have been slighted. Our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult. Our supplications have been disregarded. And we have been spurned with contempt from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope to be free. If we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending, if we mean not basically to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight. I repeat it, sir. We must fight. An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left to us. Sir, that we are weak. But when shall we be stronger? Next week or next year? We are totally disarmed. And when a British guard stationed in every... We gather strength by irresolution and inaction. Shall we acquire the means of any sexual resistance by lying supplyingly on our backs and hugging the delusive Phantom of Hope until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which God of nature has placed in our power. Three millions of people armed in the holy cause of liberty and in such a country as that we possess our invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides sir, we shall not fight our battles alone to preside the laws of nations and who will r- We have no election based enough to desire it. It is from the contest in submission and slavery. Our chains are forged. Clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston. War is inevitable. Come, I repeat, sir, let them may cry. Peace. War has actually begun. Then, into the clash of resounding arms, our brethren are already in the field. Why stand we here idle? What is it that the gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet that it is to be purchased at the price of chain slavery? They know not what cost may take. for me, Jim. This was a benchmark. This was a point where one person expressed the thoughts of the many. Because everybody understood the problem and everybody had a piece of it. But one person in the right place at the right time expressed the heart of the people and put it out in the air. It's one thing for it to be between your mind, between your ears and your mind, just rolling around there, bawing, I'd like to baw, baw, baw, baw. But it's another thing for someone to say no. And that's what this is all about. That's how this works. We got Larry from Michigan on the line, Mark. Well, yes we do. And it is Weapons Wednesday. Larry, are you there? Oh, I think so. Alright. Well, of course, it is Weapons Wednesday here. We've been covering a number of subjects. Of course, it is the 18th. And I will remind everybody again, too, that Patriot's Day is tomorrow. And one of the ways you can celebrate Patriot's Day, let's see guys, what could we do here? Let's see. go out and buy a rifle, a shotgun, or a pistol, or a case of bullets. That's right, maybe two, just because it's a holiday. So with that being the case, what have you got for us today, Larry? We can, go right ahead. Standard bullet action? And these virtually look new, don't they? Right now, 7.62x54 Russian rimmed is pretty well all over the country and available even in places where it's kind of thin, where other ammunition are thin. I think it's Hungarian that's already in that rifle. Excellent. And then they got again Russian, Romanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Chinese made. Parts are all interchangeable. The rifle design itself is very simple. They're very reliable. A lot of people have gone with the Mausers. We fully agree with that, but the 91s, they're so cheap that you can afford to put a can of ammo and a rifle away somewhere. And it's guaranteed the thing will work. The ammunition is properly stored. It's already in sealed tins, like you said. And it can be stored. That tin could be stored inside, say, another US military, like a 20 millimeter can. and be secure from virtually anything that could happen in the environment, correct? You take a can, put it away. That would probably be around longer than the shooter or the person who planned on shooting it anyway. A wooden case, kind of with two cans and something in the case. And I've seen prices now, in fact I'm looking at the quote right here, he just brought this up. J&G sales as 7.62x54 Russian rim, in the sealed cans, $37.50 a can if you buy two. and two cans make up a case. Is that the Hungarian Steel Corps? I doesn't mention that in this particular spot, Ed, because J&G has sales, you know, has sale markers all through the shotgun news. Boy, no, that's a good question. I'll have to look to see. I think it was. I think it was there before and it was... They're what we call field grade. When we say rough, okay, they're not pretty on the outside, but they function just fine. So field grade is... Now, they've got some that are like me, but they've got about 400 sales. get something that's ridiculous and by a bunch of them for that fact I'm double-checking this for you here you know what it doesn't say I'm sorry in the particular ad that I was looking for since you brought this subject up I don't know about it now we're gonna have to double-check on that to see who the manufacturer is they're still confirming that they have it and they have it non-corrosive FMJ as far as which country made it we'll have to spot check that for everybody who all this listening And again, they do have several different loads of, there are several different manufacturers or countries that have been producing the 760 by 54 Russian rim, so it's a readily available cartridge. There is boxer prime reloadable brass available for it too. Now that was made by Wolf, I think. It was a Hungarian mass chicken with two cloves. Again, they're pretty decent in general. That's one of the reasons we want to, we discussed this. The Model 91, the poison they got for the K98 Mauser, their utility weapons, they're virtually millions of the arms in service. Even though they're selling a good chunk of them, the weapons literally are around the planet. These firearms are the AKs of their day, so to speak, and the bolt guns, in that there were so many available, so many countries produced the 98 and so many countries produced the Model 91. because of the nature of its design. Uh oh. Well, I'll tell you what, Larry, we gotta let you go? That round does come up to 308 Flash now. Accuracy, power and everything. Okay, well, we're at the top of the hour, God bless. Don has always got blessed the Republic. A good guest of the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the mark. God bless and good night.
