Summary
Mark Koernke discussed weapons preparation and ammunition management on Weapons Wednesday, covering stripper clips and magazine loading techniques for various rifles including the FAL, M1A, AK-47, and bolt-action rifles like the Lee Enfield, Springfield, Mosin-Nagant, and K98 Mauser. He emphasized the importance of topping off magazines during combat, proper ammunition discipline, and the use of bandoliers for field reloading. The show included detailed instructions on fabricating bandoliers from inexpensive materials, camouflaging satellite dishes, and maintaining proficiency with older military rifles. Callers asked about HK-91 brass ejection issues and hollow-point ammunition legality in Florida.

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 of the 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. In this, 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 paid 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 will 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave?
Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great Republican, each God-given right. And pray to God, get the torch of freedom, as Iowoki vanished in the midst for once 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 and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
If he stood by your bedside to 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, dill the land of the free?
Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on We the People Radio Network at wtprn.com. We're also on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4mg dot com. And you can find us on AM and FM major and micro stations along with CB base stations east and west of the Mississippi. We're also on Galaxy 25 KU-band satellite.
and you to find out how to get there go to wtprn.com that's wtprn.com to the website when the page comes up take your receiver unit follow the instructions for coordinates that are on the banner right there on the network page and you can be listening to us via your satellite dish 24 hours a day seven days a week I just put up another big dish a few days ago and I went to look at and want to say thanks to our
friend to the west, I'm probably gonna get another dish here shortly with KU band and regular C. It's another galaxy frame, got it. It'll be, you know, don't cost anything but the gas to get over there to get it. And if you can get hold of a dish like that and then set it up and say, for instance, your relocation point, that would be a very good idea. Now, if you're gonna put a satellite dish up in a remote area and you're worried about, well, people will see it. Guys, if it's a white satellite dish, it can become a camouflage satellite dish. You won't hurt the reception at all.
Okay, if it's a black dish, why leave it just black? Go to the dollar store, get some of those cool 99 cent colors, and you match the background that the dish is going to be in. Don't just do it in a standard camouflage pattern. Take the colors that fit your terrain and match it to the environment, you know, the area where the dish will say, here's a way to do it. Put the dish in place, step back, look at the background.
match the paint to the background. Okay? It's not that hard, okay? It's like if you have trees in the background, like a tree line, wouldn't it make sense to do grays and blacks and say earth colors to match the trees so that when you look at unless you're looking for it, you know, you just glance that way. Oh, look, you know, nothing looks major. People are not attentive.
Just reverse what everybody thinks I mean snooks are out there Okay all the time But people in general the enemy counts on this learn from what they do the average person isn't paying attention When you camouflage something to look like the environment is in most people just do do do keep right on going Okay, that's right. So that's a subnote now today is Okay 21st of November it is almost seven Eastern
that one hit the chamber, the side gets closed, the weld gets filled, and the burnout... Now we command everything for as far as we can see, and we have an equal opportunity to neutralize the target. Especially if it's an aggressor, the idea is neutralized. Put them down, stop them. Or in other words, put big leaking holes in them. That's right.
uh... and again we uh... weapons wednesday a lot of things to cover keep your pen and paper handy will give out names dates and places of course and we always mention because and and by the way especially right now a lot of you've been asking about combat loads you're gonna see a lot of the if you go into our youtube videos you'll notice i've been emphasizing web gear for the moment uh... we're gonna be expanding beyond that uh... real quick because equipping for the new world or part one to cover here to a degree
We're going to get a little more detail with a couple of these little 10-minute videos and one of them is going to cover combat preparation for your ammunition packaging. I've talked about it and I've talked about it in different ways, but we need to put a little video out there so you can see physically and you can understand, okay, here's how you do it. And it won't take that long, very straightforward. We did this with the canning tapes. We've done this with a lot of other stuff that's out there that we have through, that we've done over the years through VHS and DVD.
YouTube is an excellent tool, gives us a chance to cover specific points and tweak them to help you out. One of the things is availability of ammunition in a combat situation. In other words, turnaround time. Mark's out there, pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop. Click the boat release, pop pop pop pop pop pop pop. Okay, I've gone through all of Mike's magazines. Mark's out of the picture to a degree, but Mark's got to stay in the line of fire. I have to stay up on the line to fire, and his fire team expects him to continue to help support the overall effort.
That's what you're carrying the bandoliers with the stripper clips for. Now, this is beyond your magazine load capacity, what it is you've carried, your combat load. The ammunition in the bandoliers gives you the capability to quickly reload magazines. Now, if anybody's ever sat there on the couch or in the den or in the gun room and sit there and reload mags to go to the range, you all know that a handful of chiclets are not too difficult to manage when you've got this nice comfortable table.
sometimes with a piece of carpet on it and you're do-do-do loading your 30-round mag or loading your 20-round mag or whatever. Well, it's in the field, okay? And you're being fired upon probably. Or let's put it this way, your buddies are covering you but Mark has now got to get his act together so that he can contribute to the firefight.
Now rather than a handful of chiclets, which all of a sudden, you remember the bullets get really big and the magazine gets really small and all of a sudden the adrenaline level is very high. Let's change the formula a little bit, okay? With a magazine, a stripper, with a stripper guide for stripper clips, I can put that on the end of the magazine.
Now, ideally, this is for the FAL, the G3, the MM14, the M1A. This is also true with the MINI 14. There are stripper guides for those, and there are stripper guides for the AK-47 for that magazine. And, and by the way, little sub-note, there are stripper guides available for the AK-74 mags, especially for the East German mags. They came in at the same time years ago.
Well, you take a stripper guide, you put it on the end of the magazine, on the top of it to the back where the base of the bullet sits. Now, in your little bandolier, you pull out one five-round stripper clip. You put the stripper clip into the stripper clip guide. It lays right on top of the magazine. You take your thumb and you go, huuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh
than you can describe it. That's right. And the other thing is this, remember, let's say that you just needed firepower now, you need ammunition now. At least five rounds or ten rounds and oh my goodness we're going to be overrun. I can stop, drop that magazine in the weapon and boom, boom. And you're back in the fight.
You're back in the fight and they can't be sure of whether or not you got another load magazine. They're not going to ask that. You're going to suppress the target. Chances are they're not going to want to leak anymore. So whatever else is coming at you is probably going to take cover, at least for a bit. This buys you a few warm moments. Take the stripper guide, put it into the other magazine that's not loaded yet because you've got plenty empties, hopefully, if you're able to keep them. And you load up a few more. Now you've still got ammunition in the weapon and you're prepping another mag right away.
This is much better than a handful of chiclets and a lot of panic as you drop things in the mud or things fall around. Okay, you see what I mean? It will help you. Now, I qualified this because I want you to call if you have the FNFL. I want you to call the gun parts guy right away. If you have an FNFL and we got some real cool pictures, I got to acknowledge this before we go farther.
Thank you for the really cool pictures of the fire teams using the FAL that are out there. I appreciate that. Now, you all got FALs, you got lots of mags. This is the next step. You need to go call Gun Parts Guy at 360-906-8369. They have both the metric and the inch stripper clips and the magazine guides in the stock. If they have the bag, the bandoliers, which are designed for them, get them.
If they don't, go find one, okay, just get one for a sample if need be, if they're pricey, because it's a matter of your wallet. And then talk to your wife or your girlfriend or your mom and ask her to take a look at that and say, hey, we need to go to the clothing store, to the cloth store, to the sewing shop, and we need to buy some of the cheapest OD green or camouflage cloth that's on sale.
Cotton just we're talking minimal you'll see when you see what these bandoliers are made out of they're not made out of anything fancy and Mom or your girlfriend or your or your wife can sew up a whole bunch of these Now the only other thing you need when you make those bandoliers up is a oh actually the only there's two things would be kind of nice one is when you go to the sewing shop you'll find these big cards usually of cheap cheap cheap Chinese safety pins, okay
Now these safety pins, you want them in OD or black or something other than chrome. Chrome kind of sticks out of the battlefield, does it not? It does. It's shiny things offer a shoot me opportunity. So if you can get them in black, if you can get them in green, if you can get them in gray, whatever color you can get them in other than silver if possible.
Get a whole bunch of them. Check out your Distress Shops or your Surplus Stores route. Not only is the Military Surplus Industrial Surplus Stores, it's amazing what shows up there. You always want to check out junkets at these massive warehouses with piles of this and piles of that. You never know what you're going to find. Well, you want to put a safety pin on each one of the straps that goes on the bandolier. And this gives you an adjustment tool so that way it fits you. In other words, you don't want it just flopping around. So a lot of guys, what they do is they adjust the length, use a safety pin to lock it in place. You're all done. It's that simple.
Anyway, the only other thing you want to do is if there are cardboard inserts for those bandoliers, you'll have to make them. See, what you do is you don't sacrifice. What you do is you take one of those little cardboard inserts, carefully disassemble it. Okay, where it's at the glue spots, disassemble it. Some of them are stapled, actually. So you just undo it, turn it into a pattern.
Make a metal pattern or another heavy cardboard stock, the cardstock pattern, and use that to cut other cardstock to make inserts. Now, you want to give me an idea how cheap Mark is? How many of you guys eat cereal? How many of you guys have cracker boxes? Oh yeah, Don knows what I'm talking about. I have taken, years ago when we needed ammunition boxes for a research ammo that we were building,
I would save every cardboard box, cardstock box that was laying out there and then I even go down to those. You can have a pharmacy, there's stuff they're showing out all the time that are cardstock inserts and I would turn them inside out. Now the cool thing is, what's really nice Don, is that those colored pieces of cardboard on the inside that save life, okay, or checks or say Captain Crunch actually offered some water repellents, okay, some protection and it allows the brass to slide in and out easier. Now on the outside they're earth brown.
These go inside the bandoliers in each one of the pockets. Now see for a few pennies, we've just put bandoliers together from off the shelf. So if you need bandoliers, you can make them. Also mark the bandoliers. Make a stencil with the information, the nomenclature like 762 by 51 mm, and then the next line says NATO cartridge, and then put ball in big letters, D-A-L-L, or A-P, or A-P-I, armor piercing incendiary.
Whatever you've loaded up, that's what it should say on the bandolier and each bandolier should be consistently stamped. This way you can identify the ammunition. When it's pulled out of the ammo can, you'll know what it is. You don't have to know. I got to check inside. Let's see what it is. You shouldn't have to do that. But here again, write this number down. 360-906-8369. That's for the gun parts guy.
and it's gunpartsguy.com if you need to get ahold of them through the internet. gunpartsguy.com. They have the stripper clips, they have the stripper clip guides. If you have an FNFL, get them. I'm not even saying kind of, sort of, get them. It's one of those things that is very useful. Now, if you have another rifle, and Don, uh...
Like a 30 out of 6 Springfield, they make stripper clips for those. So we're going to touch on that real quick when we come back because there's another way to use those on the bolt rifles. This is the Intel Report. It is Weapons Wednesday. You've got Don and Mark. We'll be back in three minutes at a We the People Radio Network. Hi, my name's Don Wiskin and for over seven years I've been telling people about Cartavite. Here's Dr. John Mattson, a naturopathic doctor, and his views on Cartavite.

you want to talk about reloading bolt-action guns now Mark I want to talk about shotguns for a moment you know we've done this before feed that moss because if you I've gone and you've seen shotgun bandoleros think about this I have a moment and out of the bandolero off your chest and feed that magazine much like the even an SKS Bell magazine can become an in never be empty no that's where you want to go mark
That's another thing, you know, it's a good thing you touched on that because I want to address this because a shotgun is really critical. Most people don't think about this, but it's true with all weapons and I'll bring this point forward. If you are in a situation, first thing that you do after you have made contact and fired is you top off all
magazines, you top off all shotguns, you top off... and they started to get into training back in the 70s and early 80s on this and drew away from it, starting to teach troopers even to when they were carrying revolvers to top off their cylinders. In other words, rather than, you know, you fire three rounds in a contact, pop. What they were teaching and started to teach is popping the cylinder
covering the loaded rounds dumping the three that are that were shot and then topping off off loose ammunition or off a lake say a little a little bandolier you might have on a separate belt or might have on your rig somewhere or ammunition you're carrying your pocket just for this reason as a second thought with a shotgun it's especially important because when when a target pops up or a series of targets pop up if you've engaged boom and put one down
Now you have space to put another round in. It should be automatic if there's any lull in contact. Now another thing, if you stop, if you've had a firefight and it's been a point of contact where it's like everybody fired a few rounds, I don't want to ever hear about this. Well, I dumped the whole magazine into a wide. Did you kill them? Three rounds killed them. I think so. 20 rounds basically wasted a lot of ammunition that is probably going to be needed for whoever was with whatever it is that just attacked you. Okay. So again,
Discipline in fire demonstrates, if everybody wants to talk about professionalism, professionalism in it is Hollywood crap, you see where you see 20 rounds dump down range as quick as you can blow, as quick as they can pull the trigger, as quickly as they can pull full auto. That is not professionalism. Professionalism or actual true discipline is being able to understand that you only need to put so many rounds into a target and it's down, okay?
the aliens syndrome. When we watch that movie it's cool, everybody loves it, still there's some of the most dynamic action movies, of all action movies, you're killing aliens, it's cool. But it's the idea that you're going full auto and just pumping rounds into a target that's already down. Now you know your short ammunition, just the reverse has to take place. You have to start thinking vital points, hit them hard, and pop up.
pop pop pop, in other words, three or four rounds, not 25 rounds into a target and they're still flailing around. It's already dead, you just have been wasting ammunition because it makes you feel good, okay? And I understand the adrenaline pump and all that, but you have to make it discipline. It becomes training so that you don't, when the time comes, deviate. Train as you will fight, so that you fight as you have trained. Well, the basic rule, the first rule when you're dealing with a weapon system is reload as quickly as you can or top off any time that you can.
because you are going to make contact. If you engage a target, example, if you overran a position, let's say that you're in the offensive and you overrun an aggressor point, a checkpoint, a vertical control point, one of these FEMA slash New World Order detention camp temporary points. As soon as you overrun it, as soon as you've destroyed all of the targets or run off some of them, the very first thing that you do is automatically reload and
and cap off your combat load right away. Why? Because a counter attack is going to come anywhere from 15 seconds to 15 minutes after you've overrun the target. The enemy that you've run off, if you haven't killed them all, is going to evacuate, reorganize, and try to retake the site. Now, if it's a detention camp, they don't want anybody to know about their wicked deeds. So trust me, they're going to get motivated because they're going to try and hide their crimes. OK?
If it's a vertical control point, they may not be as motivated. Most of those troops are like, man, I don't want to be here in the rain. I hate the snow. And oh, I'm not going to fight for this thing. I only got a patient coming. You see, but still, depending on how motivated the force commander is or how it's integrated into a defense, what you're going to see is a counter attack. So with all actions, even if let's say, well, let's look at Waco. OK, you defeated or pushed back the first attack.
You're you all of a sudden you've you've burned a lot of ammunition your first mission is recovery of supplies and rearming the troops that have already made contact The women should have been reloading mags and they weren't I know the story of this they throw out all the BS with all the BS Hollywood movies that were done It was absolute Now, you know, I could use number of this please it was junk. Okay
In reality, there are things that could have been thought through that weren't. There are things that should have been done that weren't. But again, they weren't planning on fighting. Now you know that WACOS can happen now. You've seen them. You know that FEMA is part of the betrayal mechanism that's bringing in foreign troops. We know that the traitors in Washington plan on trying to kill you. That is the long and short term agenda.
With that being the case, you have to be ready to fight. If you are willing to and are ready to fight to defend your liberty, your life, your freedom, and dish, you don't show up at a concentration camp or detention facility. You got to start thinking about winning. We're not just talking about, oh, well, I got this one. No, there's going to be more. You got to deal with them. The idea is to get through this to the end and you are on top. With that, that situation in mind, speed and reloading is critical and down the shotgun is perfect because it's what 99% out there are going to grab first.
Now I love Mr. Ithaca by the way, you brought that up. Ithaca Model 37s are the poor man's submachine gun. Most people don't understand, a lot of people, the Ithaca 37 is a slam-fire shotgun. If you pull the trigger when you fire, okay, when you, we bring the weapon up, you fire, you've loaded it, you've topped it off, you automatically, I go to the farthest point behind me, not to the one in front, remember what I said, farthest point behind me, I pull out another shotgun shell, I stick it in the magazine, now I've topped off the mag.
Contact, something comes up, boom, I fire my first round, shh. Well guess what, if there's a whole bunch of them and I'm defending a hallway, let's say there's one after another, and let's say they're clustered, they're starting to bulk into the hallway or they're starting to come up the stairs, all Mark has to do is step up and just pull the trigger once and fan the gun. Every time that you pull that slide back forward, it will slam fire the weapon and you can dump five rounds in three seconds. There is a caveat here because, Mark, I'm not certain.
30 there's a new yeah, there's a new Ithaca pump that basically is an extension of the 37 but now has a lock-in the older 37s most of her police guns they can be extended tube They may be standard five-shot. It doesn't make any difference. The Ithaca is a beautiful weapon now a little sub note to this You might remember as we've talked about Miami mice and all these other programs if you'll notice the common and I do not I do not want to hear anybody do not cut down a shotgun and do not shortens do not put a pistol grip on it
If you're going to do anything, you can shorten, get a junk stock, shorten the stock to about, say, two inches less than what normally would be, and that'll give you enough ifs so that you can use it as a pistol gun. Now, if you already got a pistol grip on it, that's fine, because there's a lot of defenders and stuff out there. But I'm talking about people, if you have a regular shotgun, that shotgun will serve you as is. Just know what it can do and know how to get it to bring it into service. Don't cut the barrel down, don't bring it down below 18 inches, there's no reason for that.
But, on Miami Mice, remember all these chopped shotguns they did, Don, that were like almost pistols? They were pistols, actually. Short shotguns. Look at what they've always converted. They always pick up Model 37. Why? Because of the features. Yeah, that's right. Because all of a sudden, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
But if it was kept at standard length and they cut it down just beyond the edge of the magazine well, then you're looking at five rounds in as quick as it takes for you to work the action. You just hold the trigger back. So the Ithaca is an excellent defense gun and I would put it as a priority feed gun to the front or as a priority defense or rear action gun to the rear, which is how it would work. And again, it serves its purpose. They're very reliable. They're also admin dexterous. Use them lefty or righty. We'll be right back three minutes here on We the People Radio Network.
of the world.
And the trends in the last several years, if not decades, has been to expand the size and scope of government and minimize and attack personal liberty. That's why more than ever American needs Ron Paul in the office of the president. But hope for America lies not only in his 2008 win, ultimately the responsibility for this country lies direct...
with each individual American citizen. And that's why you need to join us for the Hope for America Conference and Ron Paul rally in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday, December 8th and prepare yourself to make the biggest impact possible well beyond a Ron Paul presidency.

and we've got more content before we get to you guys. Be patient, please.
I've seen it and have done it. Now, here's the thing. The bolt actions actually have special features of their own. All of them do. If they're a military bolt action rifle, the British Lee Enfield, the 1903 Springfield, the Moissan Nagat, the K98 Mauser, all four of those rifles, which are the primary battle rifles of the situation that you see here right now, like for instance with surplus weapons in the field, one of the things that you have to remember
is that they're readily available with regard to all the support systems, all the pieces, all the trinkets. Well, what trinkets are out there? Now, shame on the guys that did this, Don. But a lot of the guys who sold ammunition, they turned around. Usually they pull the ammunition off of what?
Oh, the stripper clips. Yes, they did. There are bins of stripper clips laying around if you look for them. The moison they got ammunition. A lot of the 7.62x54 Russian rim came in in stripper clips. They are all sheet metal, typically chromed, although they can be brass and either one is good. You will find that they're, again, they're a little spring steel mechanism that holds five rounds.
Now, what this does is allows you to take one of these stripper clips for the nagod or one for the British Enfield. The British Enfield is very easy to spot. They have perforated light, what are called lightening holes. The idea was to take the metal, stamp out as many parts as you could and still get the spring shield to do its job. This lightened the combat load. It may not sound like much, but when you repeat this by hundreds of components or pieces, it makes a difference when you're carrying it. The US Springfield type, they're brass typically.
They carry five rounds. They have little holder tabs on the end that are actually a lot of break off with multiple use. They were designed as a throwaway item. But they shouldn't be. Keep them whenever you can.
but they're designed so that they just hold inside. All of them typically hold using the extractor groove that's on all of these cartridges. Now with the Nagat, the beautiful part about this is you can take five rounds. You have a little stripper clip guide in the top of the rifle. Take a look, there's a couple of niches in each one of these weapons. The K98 Mauser has it to hold the K98 stripper clip. The Moise Nagat for its stripper clip. The Springfield for its stripper clip.
and the Enfield, well even though it's a 10 round droppable magazine, which is a great feature by the way, which gives you more magazine capacity, there is a stripper guide in the top. Now it kind of overlaps with what we've been talking about. Let's say that I had to switch to my magazine because some rifles have magazine well cutoffs. Trench 1917s do. The Ross straight pull rifles, they do.
Any of these weapons that do have a magazine lock back, what that means is I can fire single rounds when you're farther out and keep reloading one round at a time. Just keep topping off. If I had to use something real quick, all of a sudden I got a bunch of problems right in front of me. I dropped the magazine switch and kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom. As quick as I can move the action and fire, I can put rounds down range.
People say that may be wasting ammunition, but again, it depends as suppression fire, not dumping your whole magazine downrange. If the targets are close enough, well, as quickly as you can work the action, you may have another target at your disposal down the hallway, inside a building, up a stairwell, etc.
Also in the defense, the advantage is, again, with rapid fire and having a magazine weld, if you have a squad making a rush, you're able to recover, fire around, recover, and re-end and fire again.
Well let's say that you fired five rounds out of ten in that magazine on the British Enfield. You quick, grab a stripper clip, put it in top of the weapon, put it in the guide, as quick as you can push your thumb down, pull the guide out, or I should say pull the stripper clip out, and work the action, you're reloaded again, and you have a full magazine at your disposal. See the advantage? Now with an A-Gut, as quickly as you dump five, you can the bolt to the rear,
Grab the stripper clip plug the stripper clip in push down on the round and pull that stripper clip out work the action She's loaded that quick get the break and you haven't emptied the magazine Well pop it off anyway stripper clip with two or three in it exactly and again whenever we have now there are changes only in like the moisten they got obviously again You may find ammunition in the stripper clips right now in the bandoliers. It's amazing. That's actually out there
But if it isn't, again, you can fabricate bandoliers, mimic the standard stuff that's used for like the 30-06, the 308 rounds, but mark the bandolier. Now you can make the letters as big as you want. Don't do them in white. Do them in tactical colors. In other words, when you do it, ink it in black.
You can even go so far as if you can be as crude as using a laundry marker these permanent laundry markers that are out there I would recommend making as it is neat as possible so that it's base more legible
so that it's clean and easy to read. It is very important that this be in place because in battlefield situations you may be issuing different types of ammunition to different people. And you may even have several different weapons in service. A lot of people have Model 91 moistened magots. They've got K-98 Mausers in some cases mixed with those. You may also end up with a bunch of people showing up that are using different weapons.
And I wouldn't hesitate to hand out a 6.5 car Connell if I had to. You're going to leak with it as soon as I show you how to use it. But just as easily with a 223 with a M14 or whatever. You need to have these basic systems for the second tier in action. First is, I was conveniently able to use all my loaded magazines or with the bolt actions. Obviously you might be carrying your ammunition in a cartridge belt. The standard 10 pocket.
U.S. cartridge belts are the best solution if you want to put a bandolier type device on the shelf that will allow you to support each of the rifles you're carrying that are like this. Example, if I had five nagons in my 510 program, let's say I buy five boys and nagons, you're going to want some basic web gear there. Well, as I've said many times, you want to make sure the web gear matches the rifle that you're going to be issuing out.
This means that, again, there are certain support systems in place. Now, if you want to go with all the surplus Russian stuff that's out there, that's fine. That's your choice. Whatever's cheap, whatever's quick, and allows you to, you know, again, put that five-man system together without, you know, taxing your wallet. But there's a lot of decent systems. U.S. cartridge belt will handle two per pocket, will carry two five-round Springfield stripper clips, or one M1 Garade D-clip with eight rounds in it.
So right off the bat it's well situated, well placed. Now there's some other tricks and that's where we're going to go to YouTube and show you some real cool tricks to increase the capacity, the amount of ammunition you can carry utilizing those types of systems. Again, it doesn't have to be brand new. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You know, I heard this thing about old modern stuff. You'd be going all the modern stuff. Newer is not necessarily better. Newer is being made out of plastic and junk and made in China.
Guys, okay, there's about it. Yeah, it's like there's a lot of good stuff. We have built it is not outdated It supports a weapon that it might even be 50 years old or 60 years old I wouldn't want to get shot with a grand would you? Okay, that's an obsolete rival, you know Yeah, wait, can you stop the leaking can you help me now it is heard use an obsolete bandage? Yeah, right. Yeah, you can actually manage natural, you know And then again, if that's my problem with this the mindset that some of these people have is
Guys, we actually outgun most armies on the planet as militia in the United States because we're committed to heavier and bigger calibers.
Okay, the troops you have that are Vietnam or Vietnam vets can attest to some of the problems we had with the versus the AK and RM 16 works fine But think about this now we're hearing from the vets in desert dust part 2 and they've been under loading the cartridges They went to a car type rifle for all the troops the AK is now is now Able to engage a hundred yards farther out than the standard m16 m4 type rifles that they're carrying wouldn't you like a cushion?
main battle rifle cartridges that's exactly the case. Yes. The OTS-6s, the .308s, the 7.62 NATO cartridge, the 7.62 Russian rimmed cartridge, all of those have greater range and at greater range still have greater knockdown power. That 30 caliber bullet in 170, 180 and up to 8 millimeter miles there is a 200 grain bullet. I don't want to get hit with that at 400 yards, trust me.
Okay, now the better you are at understanding where your weapon will put a bullet is also going to determine how much more successful you are, which is why at the other issue that has always come forward, and I have stated this for years, is familiarly the weapon is gained through range fire. That doesn't mean just blasting rounds down range. It means actually paying attention to what that weapon will do and then teaching others to do the same.
If you have ammunition that's affordable to train with, then you are going to increase your proficiency. This gets into why, we have the one hand I've said, don't waste your 223 ammunition, it's become, you know, like chicken's teeth, and don't waste your 308. But, with this 5.45 on an upper receiver as an option down the road here, you'll be able to get back out on the range and continue to familiarize.
Which is where we're headed. We need ammunition that are cheap. There are out there. We're gonna have to take advantage of them This is Intel report. We should go callers.

heard from you, it left me a message the other day. Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to call you and ask you something about my PPR-91 rifle, it's a copy of the HK-91, and I've noticed that, considering this is Weapons Wednesday, I figured it would be a good time to call you. Okay, excellent. But anyway, the problem I'm having is, the ejection action on it is very, and I keep getting these real dense near the neck of the brass,
Always happens. It's a it is one of the natures of the HK. It will happen on the MP5. It happens on the 93, the 91. It is just it's the nature of the way the HKs work. Now they can still be the brass can still be reloaded but typically what you want. Oh it can be but you got to be careful only that what you're gonna have to do is a full case resize. Okay. It'll blow that it'll blow it back out. Trust me. It won't it won't fail.
But what you've got to do instead of a lot of people, I won't say lazy, but to save time, people do like a half case resize typically. Remember that your dyes are designed to do a full case resize. So take advantage of that and do it. It's just that it's the other issue is remember your HKs, all their barrels, unless, and I haven't looked at this, you know, that's a good question you just brought up there in a way. There are some new manufactured HK barrels inside the US because the kits have been cut.
And I'm wondering if they did the waffle recess in the chamber. Have you noticed?
Uh, no, I haven't. Now, if you'll notice on your receiver, if yours is a standard, using a standard kit, so the barrel should be a standard HK, you'll notice also that there's a fine waffle print, especially if you get some carbon buildup and it blows through the gas system, it becomes very obvious on the brass. Yes, I have. That, no, that was a feature that was designed, and this is the good thing about the HKs, which people don't realize. HK knew, because they're a German military contractor, that Germany automatically goes to steel case when they go to wartime production.
So unlike all the other rifles out there that are worried about steel case ammunition, your rifle and all of the HKs are designed for steel case ammo. So you can comfortably use a steel case, for instance, 308, come on, the Russian ammunition coming in right now, the Wolf.
Your rifle is designed for it. The Germans knew that they every war they've been in fact from World War one and World War two if you people are collecting cartridges, and I've been a cartridge collector for decades the Germans halfway through World War one Started to go home and could go to steel case and by the end of the war they were almost 100% steel case production for all their small arms ammunition 9 millimeter 8 millimeter and what 7 millimeter they had in service or 7 6 5 that they captured
In World War II, the situation was the same. Their cases went very quickly from brass cartridges for pre-war production into steel production almost immediately. Because of this, standard Bundeswehr policy and standard industrial complex policy for Germany was that they must engineer all of their firearms so that they could use
The standard steel case ammunition is a service cartridge, you know, in their service cartridge form. So your rifle is ideally suited for that. Now that little dink in the case, it's the only thing you can do is to dial down your gas system. You might want to experiment. Most people are using it to pull open. You can dial it down to reduce your gas flow or actually open up to, well, it'd be open. It might be open all the way right now. I don't want to tighten it up.
And what it'll do is it'll short stroke your extraction. In other words, you're going to be using less energy to work the action. What will happen is you may not get a perfect extraction every time, but it would reduce wear and tear on the brass. That's an option. Now, yeah, personally, we have seen this with all HKs for 30 years. HK started coming in in the 60s. Every HK that I've ever seen used, and at first they were unique, obviously, because there weren't that many around.
always the same problem. Now, as the gas system gets tighter or as it's used with a sharper stroke, you'll see the waffle patterns start to become more prominent, especially if the weapon's dirty. You'll be able to see that actual chamber waffle.
Okay, in both cases that can be reloaded, but you just have to again you have to do a little more work I would also inspect if you're going to use the cases in more than one reload You again as I said many times you have to maintain quality control Do an inspection at the base of the case and watch for blowout because what happens is the brass may weaken During its expansion because it's going to expand first It's tightened and then when it is extracted and it strikes that lip of the extractor the extractor well
the ejection well, what's going to happen is you're going to have a dimpling again. Now, when you load that more than once, the place where it was extracted the first time isn't going to be the place that it hits probably the second time. So what's going to happen is you're going to have that brass push back out and reform.
What will happen, because it brasses, again, crystal, it's all metal, crystal structure, you may get a, what is like a fingernail blowout. It will about the size of, literally the width of your fingernail, the thickness of your fingernail, and it may be in a hemispherical arch.
around the body of the brass, maybe say an eighth of an inch to a quarter of an inch. Obviously that's junk. When you see a ball, when it blows out, and I don't care what brass is for our listeners, any brass that you see that does that, it'll do that either. It's called a, it usually happens at the base of the case because of overpressure, right back where the extractor is. Or it's to the shoulder, and it'll be up around literally the shoulder of the case where the first bend is where it makes that lip to go up to meet the, the, the, the, the bullet well.
Well, if it's at the upper end, don't throw the brass out. You can switch that brass over and cut it down to either another cartridge length. For instance, if it's .30-06, I can resize it down to .308 and make .308 cases all day out of .30-06 blouse at the top. I can also turn it into then .44 automag if it's blowing out up from .308. I can then, if need be, cut that down to .45 ACP.
Oh, okay. So like you were explaining in your equipping for the New World Order Part 2 video when you were showing those different pullet sizes and you tend to resize them for like training ammunition and whatnot? That's right. Exactly. We can recycle. What I've said many times is we are the ultimate recyclers. Again, with rifle cases, the millet, once that thing is bored, if you were to take and somebody, everybody can have fun with this. Even if you have a little machine shop or a little shop, take a saw,
Take one of your 30-06 like you're blown out a damaged case. Don't do this with a good case. Take a piece of junk and use it for a training case. Cut it straight down the length, now in half, the length of the case itself and look at the variance in the thickness of the wall from the top of the case to the base of the case. You'll notice that there is a taper and there's actually a thickening at the base of the case that's quite extensive on a rifle cartridge.
On a pistol cartridge, it's less extreme. In other words, a thinner wall because they're able to do a shorter stroke in a smaller millet less brass is used to actually make the 45 ACP case. Now the cool thing is this, if you cut down a 30-06 or a 308 to 45 ACP, look at how much thicker the wall is.
Okay, now you've got a lot more meat, a lot more material to strengthen the chamber. If you re-reen that out and reload that to 45 ACP, a lot of guys use those for their sub-machine that are car- or carbine rounds because they can take greater pressure so they can load them hotter. Oh, okay. See, a little trick- a little trick there. Right, I wasn't sure because mine is a uh, it's basically an HK91 but its designation is PTR91, it's uh, JLD Enterprises, but it's basically an HK91.
Yeah, it's an excellent rifle. I've never seen any problems with those. The only issue again is spare parts. HKs have a notorious long-term problem because of the nature and they knew this is the steel case issue again. Is the extractor by extra extractors. Alright. My dad was reassembling it with the rollers. I'm still getting used to that. Well, you know, and that's again, there's now, there was a
an excellent video out there and I think I have two copies of it on assembly and disassembly, some of the armorers tricks for just basically just for speed and little things that they've done and I think I'll pull that out we'll bring that up maybe a little blurb off YouTube on that because every rifle has its little glitch or its little uniqueness that if you were if you handled enough the troops in the field came up with solutions.
It's kind of like the old PM magazine done by Quartermaster for the Army. What they would do... Yeah, remember they would post all the tricks that the troops figured out. Hey, wait a minute, this works better than the manual. Do it this way. Yeah, exactly. I've had good luck with my PPR-91 so far. I mean, it's very accurate. The other thing, pick up a bayonet for it, because remember they really didn't cut off the bayonet lug. There was no such thing. Right.
And the Pakistani, the Pakistani banettes are the cheapest on the market. They work just fine. The HK91 Paki banettes are running as little as $10 apiece for the HK91. One of the reasons they're so cheap is because there aren't that many HK's out there. How many banettes do you need for how many rifles? So you can buy them cheap, they're well made, and they'll stick somebody just fine when you got to use them on the end of the rifle. Well, thank you very much, Mark. I'll let you go so another caller can come on, but I really appreciate you talking to me.
Well thank you John, give Don a call when you get a chance. I sure will. God bless you and have a good Thanksgiving. Alright. Thank you. Bye bye. And we have George from Florida, thanks real quick Don. Do you think we can get him up there? George, jump in there. Yes, Mark, I just found out in Florida that you can't buy a Hollow Point round. How can you convert your regular 38 rounds to a Hollow Point? Oh, I'll tell you what, hold here, that's interesting. You can't get Hollow Point rounds in Florida?
Well, we're going to go to, we're going to, George, you stay right there. That's interesting. We're going to top off this hour. Don has always got blessed the Republic. The new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The empire is on the run. We are on the march both day and night. Hey, if we can't use all the points in Florida, well, some point will work just fine, but I prefer a ball around that didn't farther out. Drive them up to Georgia.
Or they can use all the hollow points they want in Georgia on the UN troops when the time comes. Yep. Hoorah! Well, thank you Don. Thank you Mark. God bless America. Did you read this? Chicago just became the murder capital of America. I don't understand. It's been a felony to have a gun since 95. I thought that was supposed to prevent murders. I'd increase them. Criminals will always find a way to get guns, while the rest of us are just left defenseless.
Chicago authorities have seized over 75,000 firearms since 1995, and now Chicago's murder rate is twice as high as New York City. Tonight, while you're asleep, criminals will be at work. Not in Kennesaw, Georgia. In 1982, our city passed a law requiring every household to have a gun. It terrified the criminals, and our violent crime rate is now 75% below the national average. We sleep well here in Kennesaw.
Americans who own guns prevent over a million violent crimes every year and save lives. Get the facts. Visit armedandsecure.org. That's armedandsecure.org.
