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 use 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 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 to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowa key vanished and missed 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 Free Dot-T... Okay. What would be your answer if he called out from the grave and dilled the land of the free dot-t? This is the second hour of the Afternoon Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Korky.

That's we the people radio network, wtprn.com. You will also find us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com and AM&FM major stations, AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is Weapons Wednesday and we've been covering the half inch rifles in whatever configuration you can imagine. Everything from the inexpensive lesser models, if you want to call them that, but less expensive is the key. Just as effective for type AR clip-on receivers all the way through to the bolt guns and semis that are out there in force and the kit guns. Real quick, not off the subject, but covering this, we did have a request for information about the CV base stations and how to use them. Well, Basically take any CB base station that's out there, 23 channel or 40 channel, and what you do guys is the exactly the same way that you hooked in your micro FM transmitter. You hook in your CB base station the exact same way with a nice base antenna. An Antron works just fine by the way. That's omni-directional, not with beams. Use an omni-directional antenna. And even if it's just a simple CB without any linear, without any booster, you can still make pretty good range and you have another local radio station out there that runs for different times of the day. Some people like Channel 27 up north runs all through the day in, I won't say exactly where, let's put it this way, bounces around to a degree, but everybody's cool that's in the area and they don't interrupt the programming because there's another 39 channels out there to choose from on the CB range and people want to tune in. They can either switch over their car or their car's CB radio or they can switch over their base station or their mobile that they've got in the house and listen in to the programming that way. Again, it's just take and go one step. Well, actually, you can put a switcher. It is one of the options. So that you feed to the, just as you would feed to your FM transmitter, which then goes to the line. You use your CB transmitter the same way. All that is is a big AM transmitter. That's another variation on the theme. And this gives you a chance to use another emergency channel or have a system ready to go. Keep this in mind. You don't have to even have it on. What you do is hook it up, test it, run it for a bit to make sure everything's squared away, everything's tuned in properly. Tape or mark where the settings are supposed to be so you don't lose them. There was a magic marker It's one of the tricks or with white medical tape and when the time comes Everything's ready to go if you don't want to run it every day when you do need to use the system Let's say to get more information out use the switch now the connector and lo and behold your little CB base station is now broadcasting the appropriate information however long you want to. It can be an hour, it can be 10 hours, it can be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So that's just simply the way to look at it if you're a micro FM station right now. So from your mixing board to the transmitter, what you do is add a switcher. That's one of the easiest ways to do it. And what you can do is you can alternate or you can hook it up so it just splits and you have the signal going out to both the FM and you have your noise, call it your sound. to both the FM and to your CB base station at the same time. Some people only run CB base stations and they run quite effectively, by the way, all across the west, Elmore, southeast and west. That is yet another direction to go and a good backup, good civil defense system to have in place. Well, we are on the .50 caliber, the half inch guns, and I will remind everybody that maintenance, that's one of the things, it's not just the razor, it's the blades. We want to make sure that we have all the maintenance equipment on hand to maintain the weapon in the field. Now, you shouldn't have just one cleaning system. You should have two distributed between both the gunner and the assistant gunner. Now, you may also have, well, you may have what we call an assistant gunner and then a spotter. making it a three-man team with a half-inch rifle. Now there's two reasons for this. Number one, obviously, as we said before, focus. The gunner is concentrating on picking the target, making sure the weapon is in place properly, you know, shoulder well, cheek well, breathing, focusing on the target. And again, we're going to bring one more breath up, come out halfway and squeeze. that all we won't use that term you know what they use the military but we're gonna squeeze that trigger okay we want to be a surprise when that weapon discharges not a shock and oh my goodness the gun went off in other words We're focusing on the target. We're squeezing the trigger. We're riding with the target itself. We're compensating for windage, et cetera. And when we pull the trigger at a given point as we squeeze the trigger, not pull, then we feel the tug of that round, but it allows for eliminating the flinch factor. In other words, you're not going to anticipate the trigger being pulled. Reason for that, spotter? is so that while you, and of course you're focusing too, the spotter also is an assistant ammo bearer, but he's monitoring the target, but also his job is to scan the target and to monitor for alternate targets. In other words, if we see a hit and it's a confirmed hit and we have a target down, then he's already searching for the next objective, the next thing that's prioritized in your list of things to do, and he's going to walk you slash talk you into the objective area. Now this can depend on a number of different factors to include what type of mission as a militia fire team you've been given. Another thing is remember, support fire. Obviously you need to have a certain amount of security. The rifleman is so fixated on a target that he actually has tunnel vision when it comes to his mission. The loader slash assistant gunner is carrying auxiliary ammunition and of course is performing most of the manual actions so that ideally the shooter does not have to take the weapon from the shoulder. He doesn't have to displace his shooting hand even. One of the reasons for this, I cannot stress this enough, is that when you're in the niche and that weapon has been seated so that it's fired for the first time, if it's not a semi-auto gun, the less motion, now as Don pointed out, less motion means least likely to be detected. But the least motion with regard to moving the weapon means that the platform is more stable for the follow-up or for the second round going downrange from that position. See how that works? This is a little trick as a shooter. When you fire, and I'll guarantee that this is the case, if I could teach you as a pistol marksman or as a rifle marksman, most of you know that the floater round in a group of five is typically your first round. Now the reason your first round is the floater is because with a pistol or with a rifle the way that your body is designed it the weapon actually seats it physically into you. That's the best way to describe it. When this happens, everything is locked in place and every round after that, there'll be consistent seating. There'll be a, there's no more give or variance in, in with regard to the ergonomics of that weapon to your body. And each round after that is going to be one on top of the other every time you fire. With a pistol marksman, you actually are in what is a time mechanical sequence with regard to your own concept of how you control the weapon. So you bring the weapon up, You screw it into the target, you fire the first round, and even as the round is going downrange, you're automatically recovering, and you will see five rounds in approximately four seconds in a tight, rapid, you will find, like I said, the straight to be the first. This is also true with bolt gunner, with any kind of belly gunning that you're doing. So, the crew serve system helps to maintain accuracy at greater range. Remember, we don't want any more variance so we can help. The spotter also, of course, performs security as does the loader. If the loader is performing a certain mission. In between, he actually is scanning the surrounding perimeter. Both the loader and the spotter are equipped with a volume fire weapon. Suppression fire should the team come under attack. And of course, it can be in any number of weapons that are your choice, AK-47, AR-15. For that matter, it can be an MBR, main battle rifle, which again, it keeps the enemy at greater range. But the idea is that the crewmen that are assisting They're performing the security mission and loading, of course, and supporting the weapon in phase one. The other thing is, what are when you got to move the rifle? Now, depending on what you've committed to, if you have a large breach loading rifle, it gets a little heavy after a while. Well, with a little bit of intelligence, you can actually learn to work as a two-man team to evacuate that weapon from the site and to move it that much more rapidly to its second fighting station. And then it's third, and then it's fourth, and then it's fifth. without being seen at all and without creating great duress or exhausting any of the crew. That's why the team is kind of handy. So you might start thinking that way. You watch to see how systems like this are supported. Now tell you what, we've got Darrell. Hello. From Pennsylvania. Darrell, you're there. And Darrell, we were talking about reloading and you brought up a very good point here. Go ahead and cover that, please. Okay. You were talking about reloading. Thought came to me that to avoid a lot of problems with reloading, hammer or briar in semi-automatic or fully auto weapons, what they call small base die. Semi-automatic machine guns, they do strange things to brass. Dies, these were to the original factory tolerances. Maybe you might still have some problems with your match grade chamber up. Just people say, well, if you do that, you're going to lose a little bit of accuracy, but yeah, you will. not going to make that much difference in a combat situation. That rear chamber just might be what saves your life when you have to reload quickly. Right, and one of the considerations here is again the idea that adhesion, we're looking at a larger round, we're looking at a little more metal making, sort of making contact with other surfaces, and adhesion is always an issue. Also again, remember that in a battlefield situation you may not clean the weapon right away now. I've always mentioned cleaning and maintenance. uh... there that is emphasized and we always use people who use movies as reference so let me remind you something watch the big red one again one of the good things i liked about that is that they emphasize when they stop the first thing you're looking at is a fire when they stop the weapons being cleaned their checking it real quick when they can run it and clean it they did that that is a normal maintenance on a gas operated rifle of any kind of matter the size of the bigger the weapon Guess what? It just means more work because it is bigger, okay? So you're going to have to be prepared for that, doing maintenance on all of your arms. We plan on passing them down to other people. The additional tolerances also help with regard to buildup of carbon, debris, just plain battlefield detritus. You've got dust, sand, grit, crumbs. That's one of the reasons that in World War I, and I actually, I'll probably be experiencing World War I, very stringent testing procedures were established for All battlefield conditions include temperature and the type of environment as in desert, swamp, muck, mud, standard temperate environments. All of that was part of the test process for a weapons system. I'll tell you what, don't you say where you are. Okay. And this is the intel report. We're going to go to our first break. It's about 20 minutes after the hour. We'll be back here on We the People radio network in about three minutes. This is Dr. Catherine Albrecht.

You're listening to We The People Radio Network. WGPRN. Ladies and gentlemen, we are back. This is the Intel Report. It is weapons Wednesday. We've got Darrell here with us for a bit. And of course we've been covering the half inch slash 50 caliber BMG chambered rifles. A little quick background here. One of the gentlemen here years ago, back when nobody really knew about the BMGs as much, although everybody in shooting did to a degree, some of the first actions were virtual mimics of what had already been produced, either A, using the boys anti-tank rifles in 55 and rebarreling them for .50 caliber. Not a big problem, actually. The machinists did some excellent work there. The others are From the ground up, new manufactured drop bolt copies of the Russian single shot 50 caliber rifles made in World War II. They had a chance to shoot a rifle number 678 and rifle 800 of a custom group. The gentleman made each one of these receivers in his shop. All of them are in militia hands and these rifles functioned flawlessly. Instead of the rush production with the Russians in World War II where they were pressed, I imagine they basically a good design up to US machinist standards, US quality in standards with regard to both metallurgy and the amount of time spent on the weapon system itself build it up. And we have many of these, a total of about 800 plus. Final production was because he slowed down a little bit, shifted over to other designs, but these things are all out there. What we did is this, because of the weight of the barrel on this particular design, the assistant gunner who actually deals with loading on this, in other words, the operator drops the bolt, the dropping bolt system. The loader is simply like an artillery piece or an anti-tank weapon, loads the round and of course the shooter without moving his arm basically or the shoulder stock from the shoulder, closes the breach and brings his hand back up in the natural position ready to fire the next round. When it's time to move, one of the tricks that we did is we took a Browning 1919A6 barrel handle. mounted it on the front of the weapon towards the muzzle. Now the reason for this is the operator already has control of the back of the weapon. The assistant gunner could then grab the upper, the front hand guard, the front hand rail, and between the two of them they could turn and move this thing out of position very quickly and start moving cross country or through foliage, terrain, and through back areas without, you know, again any one person being over encumbered. This was an advantage situation that we found that has worked very well and we've continued to train teams in half inch guns this way in three man and four man teams for quite some time. Now if you're all going to be using the .50 caliber and you have a fire team of five men, everybody carries some ammo. Now we've mentioned this on the air, the M16, the standard M16 magazine pouch. used or new whichever one you find is going to work okay you'll be able to lay approximately 18 .50 caliber rounds inside a standard M16 30 round mag pouch comfortably. This means that each person could be carrying either one or two depending on how you want to balance the weight out. Now you're adding to the combat load of each person in the fire team. But this is no different from when you support an M60 or a SAW weapon of any kind in that everybody carries part of the combat load to support the heavy weapons that are in the team. The advantage now, here's one of the things I'd ask for all you ladies out there, if somebody's going to start committing to this and we have some seamstresses or we have some men who know how to run sewing machines too, and I can, I know how to do that. The point is that what you want to do with those M16 pouches is if you can, add a few loops inside. All these are for if you can on the side walls of the magazine pouches are so that you can actually keep the rounds standing up when there are rounds taken from the magazine pouch. Come up with some ideas, experiment. The idea behind this is you do want noise discipline to be maintained. You don't need the things jiggling around in the mag pouch. You don't want them getting in the way of each other. You don't want them to encumber the operator. In other words, you're going to have to open the pouch up. You've got to be able to extract one round. You don't want a handful of chicklets rolling around on the ground. See what I mean? Now, each person carries anywhere from 18 to 36 rounds. If they carry two M16 mag pouches, you put them to the rear, left and right of the butt pack, okay, beside your canteens, and then your front loaded magazines are for your personal weapon. squad for the for the fire team support unit where the spotter and with the loader, they're ammo bearers. So they carry specific satchel type bags carrying more ammunition in ring systems or whatever you've got that matches the type of 50 caliber that you're shooting. This is how we deploy as a team the 50. Now we also do this with squad guns like some of the belt fed weapons that are out there. So we have Browning 1919. So we have MG 34s, 42s, mats and machine guns. Whatever you've got, if you have belt fed, you know that's a different issue. You've got to figure that into the formula if you're going to integrate belt fed weapons with, but at the very least, everyone can carry some ammunition for the 50 as part of the team to get it into the field and to keep it functioning because this is a placement round weapon. Now for reloading, and again there's a lot of bullets out there. There's a lot of surplus bullets and there's a lot of brass out there, but we've got to prep it, don't we? some people use walnut shells, some use corn. Then after you size it, you always want to make sure that you check the overall length of the case. Then you want to deep-earth both inside and outside the neck where the... You also want to make sure the pocket gets cleaned out in the flash hole. Make sure that is cleaned because a lot of times, especially military surplus blast that's been fired in, say, in the battlefield and picked up later may have been sitting around and non-corrosive pickup little corrosion. That could cause reason for, or nick the new projectile that you put in there. A short range that probably will have negative or effect on your cleaning, trim to the proper length. Now for our reloaders, remember they're on military projectiles and on many of the different civilian projectiles, there is a can-allure notch. Explain to everybody, it's that when you look at the bullet, you'll see if the bullet is separate and not loaded. You'll see what looks like a band that goes around the, say, the first third of the bullet or a particular point on the projectile. That serves a purpose, doesn't it? Yeah, it sets up a standard overall weight for factory specs, but also seated to similar depth or same depth as the factory ammunition and look at it. You will see different amounts of that can or sticking up above the edge of the brass. That is the idea to get the ammunition within spec. If you really are a fine art shooter, a lot of guys will take a look at that can of ore. One of the most important things, one thing as you said, there are different points. What it is, is that there is an allowable variance even from the factory with regard to how perfect that seating is. But it's within that can of ore notch. Now, a real quick trick here, if you, uh, what they did is they serrated the inside of that like a coin, if it's a ball round, if it's regular ball, if it's any kind of specialized round, that can lure will be smooth on the inside. So in the darkness with your thumbnail, you can actually ID the type of round you're loading into the weapon without any light at all. Some of them have sub rounds, uh, in fact, we have two different, uh, can lures on it. Two different steps and sets. We'll be back in a minute with... People who use Cartavite know about the pollutants in our body and want them out. For over five years, Cartavite has proven itself time-tested. Here's Dr. Mattson, a naturopathic doctor's thoughts on Cartavite. In our mind, there isn't such a great big mystery to disease anymore. This basic tenet of yeast in the gut and metals in the liver covers at least seven to eighty percent of the diseases that we see. When we do our program, you know, in herbal formulas like Cartavite, and you see someone who could barely walk up a hill, now going for regular jugs. few months later, we know we're doing something right. It's a well thought out formula. I mean, the idea of it working on the East End metals both at the same time and liver function is dead on. You'll find, I think, that it'll work more than just on heart problems and circulation problems. It'll work on other problems as well.

We mentioned this earlier about the gas masks coming from Maine military supply. We know that most of them came with filters. We found some, didn't we? Why I don't know, as we expected, that what happened is, a lot of confusion with the kid that was in the warehouse. They talked to him. I think they sent out a whole bunch of filters to other people. They weren't supposed to because the masks have filters in them and most of you know this. Plus, you got extra filters. We already had that reported to us, but some other people May have received a few masks without filters now I'm gonna deal with that problem tomorrow and we're gonna bring it up on the air You want spare filters? That's the next wave. We got all of those cheap gas masks that we could congratulations We got them out of out of the other guys hands and out of the warehouse into your hands now the average price and I just spot-check this all over the system and you know even a couple of the papers I've got sitting right here right now and the average price is about $20 for that mask that you just got for $4 Okay, that's just how it is. That's what the system is charging. The wholesale price at our end is still not 19 or 20 dollars a piece, but I have to spot check because they may have gone up and that's going to really be bad if they did because I would have grabbed some more of those $4 masks myself. I just couldn't do that at the time. For all of you who got them, congratulations. We are going to work on getting better filters, but remember, if you need gas mask bags, the M17 or the M17A1 or A2 gas mask bags will work perfectly for that M10M series of masks. Okay? The regular M17 gas mask hood fits right on that gas mask. Gee, look at that. There's two basic components out there. If you guys look in your local surplus stores, you'll find that the M17 bags are cheap, cheap, cheap. Sometimes a little 50 cents a piece or 75 cents or a dollar. Pick up extras. Better to have more than not enough. Buy them while they're available and cheap because things don't stay cheap forever or they disappear and they don't come back again. This is surplus. This is not Kmart or Walmart, okay? The spare filters, I'll get you a price, let you know what we're going to do. We'll do quantity of them. I'm going to need some myself anyway, so I think I'm going to break down and buy a real big bunch of them because the M10M is going to be with us for a long time. I have a handful. In fact, I used some of them for the classes that I gave this last weekend. Specifically, use the M10M so the M10M series so that everybody could see what we were talking about on the air. Now, enough said about that. Another thing. We do have Zussman Ackerman kits, there's Monty Griffin kits, there's a bunch of other kits out there. You can build a .50 caliber right up from scratch. If you're an experienced machinist, there are a number of different places for barrels, but remember, if you can get hold of an old military barrel, that's the basis for everything else you want to do with a weapon. Now, on an M2 .50 caliber, they have what is called a stellite liner in them. Always remember that. Some people talk about cutting the barrels down shorter. I have a problem with that. There's no reason to, people. I like a little extra meat on my weapon with regard to the barrel because I want to get every ounce of energy out of that projectile before she weaves the muzzle. Okay? There are some solutions there. You take a look at what it is that's going on. I would not do any little short pistol .50 calibers. Kind of defeats the purpose. Darrell, I don't need a handheld flamethrower in .50 caliber, do I? You could get a flamethrower out of a can of shaving cream or something like that. There you go. Getting back to the barrel length, remember the longer the barrel the higher the bullet is, the more the bullet is further. Looking for range, this is one of the things that they made a short short barrel M2 that actually, the reason I joke about that is because still hit a good range, hit a good range, it's gonna put the bullet out there, but the available unburned powder leaving the muzzle will probably flash burn anybody for six feet in all directions. I had a 375 H&H Magnum that I custom built, and when I used to shoot it standing up, I'm about six feet tall, and I fired that thing standing up. Muzzle would be about four feet or five feet off the ground, and every time I fired it where there was a bunch of leaves, the leaves come up off the ground. That was with a 375H and H magnum. Just imagine what it's going to do with a 50 caliber, especially if you don't burn off. Oh, womb. Right. And of course, now we've got to remember there too, to reference what you need to do to prep an area for long range sniping or for long range engagement with a weapon of this type. There are even little canvas throw down rugs that are made that are made out of nothing more than simple canvas or cloth and they're designed to deal with preventing you from producing a dust plume in front of the muzzle or at least reducing the possibility of that. Remember, think through the process of using a weapon of this type. And again, we want to reach to the maximum distance with these weapons as a battlefield superiority weapon. If you can engage a target, or if you can force them to actually be indeterminate as to what the engagement range is, remember, let's say you're engaging a squad or a platoon strength formation. Yes, I know all about the other support weapons. We have support weapons too, okay? So we're looking at ground infantry facing ground infantry, and we're going to pick the time, not them. Now, We engage with a 50 at say 1600 yards. One target goes down. I don't want to get hit with a 700 grain projectile at 1800 yards or 800 yards or 80 yards for that matter. But at 1800 yards, they can suspect the direction of the aggressor, but they can't be sure of what it is that's being used. I mean, the signatures are familiar. But remember, you can also tap out a few rounds of 30 caliber to make them wonder or worry about what it is they're being engaged with. Well, once they're hit, once a fire team or a squad or a platoon is hit, they have to go into reaction mode. What happens is this. They're burning calories, they're burning energy. The old adrenaline rush starts way too soon. It's way premature. And that fire maneuver unit has to treat the action as if they have possible close contact. Now they're 1800, 1600, 1200 yards out. The average arm that they're carrying is an assault rifle that has been expected to be used at only 250 to 300 meters maximum. Yeah, they can press out farther and golf ball it into range. And I know you don't have to tell me, yes, we can all hit something at 500 yards with an AR-15 if we squeeze her in a little bit. I'll tell you what, it's still only a two, two, three bullet. On the other side of the battlefield, half-inch guns, 30 caliber weapons, have the superiority at range. When they reach 800 yards and 1,000 yards, there's still plenty of energy left to knock the target down, to bore in and make it hurt. We're looking at A, forcing the aggressor to consume calories he can't replace, time that he thought he'd gain, and expend ammunition that he cannot quickly replace. By doing this, we extend the potential for success, obviously with our side, but we can change and alter the geometry as we either bring the aggressor into a kill zone with these heavier weapons, to break contact and reorient the battlefield yet again, falling back to extreme range, and continuing to exhaust the you know that works now there's nothing people would say will recognize infantry works the same way people once contact is made combined arms operations dictate that the infantry dismount and attempt to make contact with her engage the grounded infantry or the grounded target especially if there's enough obstacles at the mechanized element cannot perform safely taking the risk of coming in contact with mines tank weapons and shoulder fired systems of many different types. The infantry's job is to ferret out the other the aggressor infantry that may be making contact. Little trick, you put one hoplite infantryman or two or three a fire team even up front you make contact in what you consider to be the kill zone They fire up one magazine. In fact, they can also do leave behind fireworks, leave behind pyrotechnics that allow everybody to feel good that they're still engaging in a target. By maneuvering the aggressor into a fixed kill zone, heavier, longer-range weapons can engage safely and quickly neutralize a good portion of the grounded infantry and still keep the mechanized element occupied. Now, the idea is not to sit there and fight until you get your hind end shot off. The idea is for this to be a prepared kill zone at maximum range, utilizing the best rifleman slash marksman that you have available, and preparing your second, third, fourth, and even fifth shooting positions in advance. Each fire team likes their shooting station, junction with the coordination of a squad leader or a platoon leader depending upon the situation. Their job, that unit's job by the way may also be designed to bring the overall formation into an even larger kill zone for other heavier formations. Plans within plans, circles within circles. The idea is to keep the other side guessing. Be creative, use your mind, battlefield computer wins every time. Hey, tell you what, we're on our last break. Got Darrell here with me.

You just don't do it, people. And those who are experienced reloaders know this. And you know, Darrell, we were talking about this off the air. Bring a full-first subject, please. I happen to be watching the movie Sniper. First time I saw it, it didn't register. The second time I watched it was just here about a week ago. I was watching the scene where he was sitting in his room. You just don't do that. If there's something wrong with the projectile, for those of you who are target shooters, you know you set that aside and do not use it. Don't carve on the bullets in the field. Yeah. And I don't care what kind of eyeball you think you have, I'm sorry. No, we aren't fine tuning the projectile. That all was done in the shop. That ammunition has all been protected. It's already being properly stored when it's on your LBE, your load bearing equipment, and the only time it's going to be touched is when it is loaded into that magazine. You might even do one last inspection to make sure nothing's happened while it's been transported. you load that and then from that point you don't see it again all you're gonna see that spent case you create a more important to accept it was it when he was done was it brought out to that change that right there but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but take the wire cutters and snip off the end of the bullet to think that they're going to get something a mushroom or become more of a devastating round. Well, let me tell you a little story. A friend of ours had a 1903 A3 Springfield. Beautiful rifle. Well, the first time we fired it, it just seemed like it was a little more energy than that. I have an 03 that's a national match 03 that has won three state competitions with a national guard, okay, years, many years ago. Anyway, I'm firing this and it just seems like we're getting a strange almost like second tug on the weapon. I look at the barrel and we fired it. We cleaned it the whole nine yards and okay, we fired it again and you know, we fired 10 rounds through it and just, it just seems like there's a little more of a hump. So we cleaned it again. We put it on the shelf. We go back to the range a second time. We fire it. We still, I'm getting that second little urge and like pump on my shoulder there. Just that nanosecond, but you can test it. You can tell it anyway. I open up the breach, I cleaned it out really good on the range there and I'm holding up the sunlight and I see what looks like a crack. And I'm thinking, oh no, don't tell me there's something, I've never seen a flaw like this before in a barrel. So I go and get my big brass rod I've got that's 30 caliber that I have, they use the poking through if we've got to knock a piece of brass out on the range and it's an old piece of brass or something, it's just a part of our emergency kit. And I get that right up on the edge of where that crack is and I touch it. And it starts to lip up a little bit of the thing at all. weird. I get up the sunlight again and I look at it guys and what it is, eventually I got it back to the shop. I said, whoop, stop before you do anything else. Just get it back to the bench. I get it back to the bench. I get a nice steel rod with a brass tip that I've got for working on rifles like this and I'm tapping a little bit and the thing starts to move. Tapping some more and I realize there's like eight or nine, it's almost like well seven inches of the barrel inside is moving. Well it's not the barrel. You know what it was? Somebody had cut off a ball round, which of course, remember, it's a reverse cup. The base of the bullet is open because that's where the lid is poured in. When you cut the tip off, you've made your jacket a solid tube, okay, a loose tube. What happened is somebody had loaded some brass projectile, I would assume it had to be Winchester-Wester or something from the 20s. I'm sorry, it was a bullet from the 20s, but this was an 03A3 circa 1943, I think it was a Smith Corona. Anyway, I tapped this out. And, and, Daryl, we had a perfect example of the inner rifling of the barrel. Yes. Stretched out over seven inches. What happened is when that round had been fired, the, the lead at some point there was adhesion with that jacket. The lead had been squeezed right through the front of that nipped bullet and the jacket was left inside and every time that somebody fired it, normally this would cause other problems as you'll point out in a second. Instead, for whatever reason, God watched over this rifle. The brass sheath kept being stretched longer and longer and longer and we were extruding it through the barrel. And it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen but if it were not for the fact that I could see that little hairline guiding edge of that piece of brass, I had never known that was there. for probably who knows how long. But this is what guys used to do when they were, my dad was in World War II, he said, yeah, the guys that were going in would take the old wire cutters and snip the end of the projectiles off to make a dumb, dumb round, make a round that would open up and do more damage to the Japs. And the problem with that is, exactly what happened here with the SOA-3, if one of them opens up like that, if you're lucky, everything gets stretched out. If you're really unlucky, well, Darryl, what happens then? Well if you're really unlucky you could have the bolt back in your face. Yeah. Or it could ring your barrel or it could crack your barrel. Or it could blow the barrel up in your face. Two things where the bolt comes back in your face or the barrel could be fatal. And one of the reasons for this is what happens, that first projectile locks in and you don't know it, the second round is fired. We've seen it. They start to stack up, don't they? Yeah, if you're extremely lucky you'll find it on the second shot. five or six rounds couldn't figure out why his gun was not extracting the shell and he was manually extracting the shell. I brought it over to me and I, the barrel in the barrel was plugged. I took a five led slug, like he said, had the perfect match in the rifle and he looked down the barrel again and he had five rings. Now fortunately he was using, fortunately God was looking out for him. Second of all, he had some cheek damnation loaded up for him and he happened to be a police officer and he well of the strength of a Beretta. I said, no, that speaks well to stupidity of the person who loaded the ammo for you because he didn't put enough powder in it to drive it down the barrel. Right. That's why you were not cycling. That's why the other one was a guy had picked up a military surplus, never been fired. He took it out, dental pick and stuck it in there and pulled a dry grease. Which had worked just like a chunk of clay or other other obstruction. This gets down to basic weapons maintenance again. for the fire team leader. This is a policy. You'll see this in some videos that are going to be coming up soon that go back for a number of years because we've had many different operations. When we go into a training site... there is one person who has a rod and will take their little finger and physically check the weapon in more than one direction and we do this as a policy. I don't care who you are, it can be from the guy in charge all the way down to the pots and pan washer. Everybody will be treated uniformly and we do constant weapons inspections because that weapon, well obviously we don't want an accident, that's one of the reasons we do this, so that when we bring them into a training site and we're indoors, we don't have to worry about anything strange happening, but also because when we come off the range as a safety precaution, this is a last check, a final check of the weapon to make sure that there's nothing that we have to deal with that might crop upon us the next time we're out on the range or if we have to use it in combat. So we want to inspect each of the weapons for issues like this. Cleaning the firearm is critical. And I'll tell you what, with many times, two weapons that are the most common, M1 carbines, because people don't know how to properly clean them, that's number one. Number two is 22 caliber rimfire weapons, because the carbon that builds up in those things looks just like the finish on the firearm in many cases. And 99% of failure to eject or failure to cycle is because of what, Darrell? That's right, just plain old dirt. I remember guys bringing in semi-automatics, they put guns slick in, little gun grease. During a gun that is fine, but when you go out to the range make sure you clean that excess green in your malfunctions. And that goes all the way from 22 up to 50 caliber by the way. Right. And the other thing, real quick, if you stored the weapon and haven't used it, always check the barrel for some sort of obstruction. I found spiders to mud-dobbers down barrels. Yep, mud-dobber wasps aren't exactly your friend. No, they're not. Well, I'll tell you what, Dale, we're at the top of the second hour. Thank you for being here with me. Let's do this together. As always, God bless the Republic. Just to the no-roll of order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we're on the mark. And we shoot straight. That's right. We shoot straight and him farther out too, don't we? That's right. Well together we're going to work on that. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening. This is We The People Radio Network. We'll be back tomorrow. Thank you, Darrell. You're welcome. On September 1st, Vote Rescue and our coalition, Texans for Real Elections, conducted an exit poll at the Texas straw poll in Fort Worth.
