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. Invist the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children 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'll 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 Republic and each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? We the People Radio Network, WTPRN.com, that's We the People Radio Network, let's see, available to our friends in the Yellow Quadrant and C Quadrant for alternate listeners, by the way, there's a special crew there that are working on something specifically for which each free radio dot 4mg.com and AM and FM microstations, CV based stations and technologies, yeah, that's us. weapons Wednesday. This is where we cover all the other cool things that are going on with arms and that includes our hands by the way. And this is something we needed to talk about because a lot of people haven't thought this through. It doesn't mean you have to be a master, but you have to take into consideration that anything can happen on the battlefield and everything that is in your hand or on your head is a weapon. Now you might've seen this before, but real quick, During World War II, they had a real problem trying to teach some troops because people just had to be downright mean when you're in a combat situation. But remember that you might lose your weapon in a hand-to-hand situation where you're really, really close to an aggressor where you didn't plan it. I always love these people saying, oh, never let them get that close. Well, of course, you plan on that not happening. And when the time comes, you're going to get caught off guard. Now, there's a couple things to consider there, but your helmet is a weapon. Your flashlight is a weapon. your entrenching tool is most definitely a weapon. And we know your personal fighting knives and whatever flavor and choice you pick there is a weapon too. But anything and everything that you have, anything that might be at hand that gives you an advantage, it's designed to wallop the other guy, is what you have to use. Now, there's a lot of leverage when you pull that helmet off your head and take and put that, grab it with your right hand and swing it forearm and bump somebody with it, okay? Keep that in mind. It is a weapon unto itself. The edge of the helmet is a weapon unto itself. A lot of our people are still using the M1 steel pot from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. There's nothing wrong with that helmet. And we have many millions of them in service. You're going to see a lot of them when the time comes. There's still a bunch of them that are being sold that are either the German, the French, or the NATO-slash-UN helmets that are coming out right now. and they're brand new out of the box. We're not going to hesitate to use them. I'd use them on a heartbeat. You'll see me wearing one at different times. We also have other foreign helmets like the Swedish standard utility, the M36 type or M39 type. Guess what? Nice sharp edge. You hit somebody with the edge of that where it counts, across the bridge of the nose, into the throat or into the cheek. the eye, you're going to do some damage. And when you have to fight to save your life, you've got to think this way. Now, what are you doing? It's not just a brawl. Your objective is to fire power your potential to fight. You're looking to rearm. So in each situation, you upgrade and upgrade and upgrade accordingly. That's what you're trying to do. You shouldn't have been in that situation, but sometimes you can't help it. There's a myriad of variations and themes, situations that allies, friends that I've known for many years that were combat soldiers that they got into that just simply put them in the wrong place at the right time and they lost everything but the skin on their butt. And they even got shot in the butt. Okay, so one of them twice. It's really embarrassing to get a Purple Heart that way two times over. Both times and one cheek or the other. And one case both. But the point is that everything is a weapon. Think that way. This is Weapons Wednesday. Even our voices are weapons. The battle cry, the way that you actually face, you know, when you are in battle, the way that you decide to act, how it is that, you know, you see these terms using your war face. Well, that's absolutely, that's absolutely true. You put yourself into battle frenzy or into a set position, a posture. You have what is a war face. You don't realize it, but it's there. And if you are in your, your continents, literally your attitude at the moment is expressed on that, that easel that we call a face. and it can strike fear. It can immediately strike fear into an enemy. It is part of what you will use. Now, the other side, they're just faceless orbs with their little ski masks and all the other BS, basically trying to terrorize you with their eyeballs. Aim for the center of mass on those eyeballs and put them out, okay, one way or another. For us, well, as we know, we stand in the light of day. The Patriot is out there in front of everyone, and we want to make sure that we're armed and equipped as effective militia. So we're going to carry on here. We have colors. We have Spike from Indiana who's been so patient. Spike, jump in there please. I missed Don there. He got into a subject that Don is, and this is true, Don is an adept. He's not bragging, but he's very competent in his area of interest and he has several that are critical to our students. And that is his niche. I'd be very grateful to learn some stuff. That's one of the, well I guess if you count being the kids that get picked on, I've been trained in hand-to-hand combat because if you get in a fight, But you better finish it and if you don't win then I'm gonna finish you when you get home. Wait dad was with us. During baseball practice a couple guys thought it'd be funny to strip me up naked and throw me out in the gym. Small helmets work rather well on the nose and the face. I chase the others you have to wear a band. They always make them cry because that way they bring tears to their eyes and they usually think twice about going any farther. It's that simple. Teeth didn't look too good when I got done. I had a question you were talking about the 5.45x39 ammo. What types of rifles besides the AK-7? it. Now here's the thing, with such a new cartridge, when the East Block opened up, the only kits that were initially available in the AK-74, there were some East German AK-74 kits that came into the country. Also, the Fennelik burnt orange East German mags were available and they were cheap. I tried to get everybody to buy them. Of course, now they're the same price as all the others. There was and still is floating around, but I don't know how many of those, and they've probably gone right through the ceiling price-wise. East Germany bought this beautiful little short action Steyr. It looks like a standard 70 or model 700 bolt-action hunting rifle. A fixed rigid scope mount that is locked right to the receiver, bolt ending literally, it's part of the receiver. But with a nice set of optics on the roof, these rifles were border guard security rifles that were issued to keep an eye on the Berlin Wall and on the border. They were built in 5.45 caliber, 5.45 by 39. So they're a beautiful little rifle. If you run into somebody who got one and then is dissatisfied with them, and I can't see how, they're tack drivers. They're actually very, they're crude. I will say this, they actually were as expensive as they should have been. They were actually kind of a crude finish rifle. They're typical of what you saw like with the Chinese equipment or the Eastern Bloc. The finish is okay, but it's field grade by their standards. Action was smooth, very clean, very short stroke because the cartridge is shorter and it may be action shorter. This means quick recovery time. For a bolt-action gun, it's very, very fast. It's in 5.45x39. There might be still some at the shows. If you pop in once in a while, check things out, somebody might walk in with one. Things are getting tight. The other option, and this is what we're looking at, is there's a couple companies, as we know, Ferret. One of the things that he was doing is barrels. And I mentioned this to him already. One of the options is with these savage bolt guns is actually chambering the thing in 5.45 would be an option with a replacement barrel. Now another consideration is to work with the AR-15 uppers. That's the next direction. We're pressing hard on that right now. Otherwise, the basic rifle still is going to be the AK-74 in the Romanian. The Tantels, which are the Polish AKs in 545, the Polish AK 74s. There are some Krinckoff knockoffs in semi-auto. I wouldn't necessarily worry about those. If someone's got the money on that, then they're not worried about making kits and skimping. If you do find an AK kit, you may find some RPK kits in 545. That's a good configuration. That's the Squad Automatic Rifle, long barrel. It'll have the basically the mallet type of but I would put the kit together exactly as intended semi-auto don't even try to fiddle with full auto it ain't worth it and it's too much trouble to concentrate on a semi-automatic rifle period otherwise those kits that like the AK-74 RPK of the Romanian there are some I think Bulgarian out there too but you got to shop around that would be the direction to go. Receivers are available. That's the other thing. I know that they're out there, but again, we're going to have to search a little bit. I've been looking at AKA WAS. You said that earlier. I went, hey, wait, I'm doing thing about being able to find that. Oh, for the price, they're not bad actually for training weapons, which is really where they have their niche. If the price of a Ruger is less than the price of one of those AKA 22s, I would go with a Ruger 1022 or a Glenfield Samoyado. I mean they're nice, if you've got one that's okay, but as far as the AKs go, but for the price and because like you said magazines are unique, the Rugers and the Glenfields are the most common for magazines in the 22 family. Now there's some Remingtons and Winchester's out there but the Ruger, I hate to say it because Ruger's not been kind to the firearms owners overall. They tried to play the politically correct card years ago and I will never forget that with Ruger. But, unfortunately, they have one of the coolest little 22s out there, the Ruger 10-22, and it is very reliable. You've got 40-plus years of parts out there now. Think about it. I mean, that weapon has actually been out for almost, actually, closer to 45 years in its original configuration. And it's a darling to work with. You can buy replacement barrels. You can buy spare bolts. You don't need to change the stock, but if you do change the stock, all kinds of ram line stocks, I would go with a standard fix stock, not a folder. If you have a folder, just stay with it. But if you're going to switch over, rigid stock with a dragon off type stock, if possible, to give you that much more strength and reinforce the rifle overall. Okay, did you get the package I saved? Oh yes I did. Yes, and I've been going over that too by the way. In fact the only problem I had is I've been interrupted so many times with stuff we've had to get done today especially. I was going to expect an email shortly from me by the way too. You just had the other question. Yes. I got that from my dad. My dad got it from his dad. And the only thing I saw was a problem was the butt socks loading. Right, but there were two models, the one that takes the tubular buttstock feed and the other one which is actually a clip fed which came out later. There is a tubular, the tubular feed system, we'll tell you what we're doing, you stay where we are, we'll address that.

Lighting the fires of liberty with your host, Michael Badnarik from 7am to 9am central, Monday through Friday, only on We The People Radio Network. We are back. This is the Intel report and that's Poker Face at pokerface.com. Please take the time, check out their music and help out the band. Spike, one of the things you mentioned, the 911-66. Now there's two solutions to this and one of them, let me make you think for a bit. Have you ever been to a gallery, say a gallery shooting range at an amusement park? Okay, have you ever been to one that uses 22 shorts? probably have. Most of the time you might recall they use a buttstock fed or a front feed tubular fed rifle and you'll notice the guy doesn't have individual shells he's got these long speed loader rods. I was wondering. Actually make them there's companies out there still do now again they're not delicate per se but they of course they aren't going to be they're not they're not like a solid rod of steel but they are a method that can be used for reloading well actually they make them up to 12 gauge they make them for 12 gauges for what we call speed loading there or zip loading the magazines and they've made them for 22s for actually probably as long as magazine fed 22s have existed in the tubular feed system which goes back to the 1900s you know the 1800s for correctment correction anyway the These tubular feed speed loaders are available for a number of sources. You need to go to the shotgun news and start shopping around, but check. Some people have bought them because they got them from galleries. There are a couple companies that still make them. You want to make sure that obviously you don't overload the tube. In other words, whatever that tube is carrying should only be the magazine capacity of your rifle. And the Ruger, actually Ruger made a tubular fed. The nylon 66, obviously the Glenfield, most of them a good portion, I'd say 50-50. Half of them are tubular fed. Half of them are clip magazine fed. So it's a mix. Now, as a sub note, the Remington nylon 66, in its later production model, after they came out with the original model, they came out with a magazine fed utilizing a 10 round or 15 round stick magazine and it's just like you see on the Glenfields or the Savage rifles etc. Very simple, very easy to use. Those are out there so if you're looking for nylon 66 you can find them both ways. Now the nylon 66 is a fine rifle. There is a company now for a while they were being made in Brazil. They made both the black, the diamond, the white diamond black model and they made the model brown I understand that they're maybe making the earlier camouflage model stock, which is a cool option. They also made a camouflage model stock for the AR7, which is another one everybody's waiting for me to mention. And the AR7 is another one out there that's been around for, well, you might remember, Mr. Bond used it one time in from Russia with love. Remember that? Where he shot down the helicopter. Yeah. so that what the uh... little air seven was a nice little rifle it's another nice little package others are charters had that for a bit that it went out of country down into south america i believe it's back up in the u.s. and charter might new charter because that's been started up with the undercover all those they may have the the uh... uh... air seven in service again too the nine one sixty six I can see what I've understood with anything that I've read is that all the parts are interchangeable with the new knockoff. So anything you've got here's a consideration you might have a tired nylon 66 and you're thinking man parts are expensive well a consideration may be to look at the new parts inventory of the copy made off the same mold. It's cheaper to replace that way doesn't it? There's another idea. I would again 22's are to a degree a personal flavor choice but there are certain rifles that have an advantage. Another thing about the little charter AR7 is remember most people may not remember this but in the late 70's charter made like a monster broom handle pistol based on the AR7 light rifle. They basically put a fixed grip on it. still use the same magazines and it did have interchangeable barrels so that it could go from a three inch barrel all the way up to something like a little under a 16 inch barrel which made it a nice little survival pistol you know that matched up with your rifle if need be. I've seen it like you were saying. Well now there is a new there is a new Remington that's out and I don't know if it's available in a modeled stock or not but it basically what they were trying to do is they're trying to reintroduce the nylon 66 concept but with a new rifle, you know, with a Zytel nylon stock and all of that fun stuff. So that it could go right ahead. The high point myself. The high point carbine. First of all, the high point has been around long enough. There's plenty of parts, lots of magazines pick up a spare firing pin and extractor right away. And remember, the cool thing about that is the way that stock is set up, you can carry all the spare parts inside the stock. Do those shoot the full metal jacket or those made to shoot those or is it better to use copper? Oh, they'll use anything FMJ 9 millimeter ball of any kind. That's a light carbine Winchester you're a 9 millimeter shell Oh anything Ruger Winchester Remington cellar below any of the surplus 9 millimeter in fact remember because it is a light carbine You can use some of the what's considered to be a little hotter submachine gun loads the SMG type 9 millimeter should work without any problem The biggest thing there is just make sure that the ammunition is clean and when you're done clean the weapon. That's the first rule of everything we're doing with these firearms now. I think that'll hit a little bit harder than that. Yes, that's true. Now again, that brings up another point. There are a family of light carvings like that. Some people have Marlin camp carvings. There are a lot of them available. Center Fire Systems has magazines for those right now and they're cheap. In fact, they have them for the high point too. So if you can, if you've got one of those camp carvings, try to grab the, there's a 9.99 special. If you buy three mags at a time, they have the Marlin camp carving mags. They made the Marlin camp in nine millimeter, but they also made it in 45. So that's another option. And the same is true with the high points. There's one or two other companies producing comparable light rifles. have pistol options where everything is interchangeable as far as the basic components, especially the mags. For a lot of you guys listening, felt recoil is non-existent. For the ladies, it's an excellent choice in firearms. For somebody who's looking for something as a utility shoulder rifle that is out of the way when you need to do other things, it's perfect. It basically would be considered the ranch pistol rifle combo option that everybody was waiting for for years that some of the American companies just never put out. And the Ruger finally got around to it, but then they didn't stick with it. The same with Remington. And Marlin was the only one who really started to get into it in the proper direction, but Marlin doesn't produce pistols. They just came up with a rifle that would take the pistol bags. That is a good option for our older listeners. The High Point is an excellent choice. If you've got a bunch of younger people and you're trying to train them and give them a weapon that they can handle, it's an excellent choice for that area because even as they grow up, they won't get rid of the weapon. They'll find that it's very desirable and serves their purpose, you know, for personal defense. And they'll have grown up into the weapon. As an adult, hey, I'm telling you guys, that's just like firing a .22. Wouldn't you agree, Spike? If you have one, you know what I mean. And felt recoil is absolutely minimal. It's a beautiful firearm. and you can keep the rounds on target. Another thing that a lot of other articles, by the way, people are catching up with us guys, acknowledging that one of the advantages of these 9mm rifles and .45mm rifles is that the ammunition is still affordable. A lot of the other stuff is so outrageously expensive right now that we really can't afford to take it to the range. That high point you can afford to take to the range. That makes a big difference. You've got more range time, you've got more performance time. So it's like I'm going to let you go, okay? Okay, you have a good afternoon. Thank you, God bless. We got Joe coming up right after the bottom of the hour here. Joe, please be patient. It's the bottom of the hour break for the Intel Report. It's Weapons Wednesday. We'll be back in about three minutes here on We The People Radio Network. People who use cardiobite know about the pollutants in our body and want them out. For over five years, cardiobite has proven itself time-tested. Here's Dr. Mattson, a naturopathic doctor's thoughts on cardiobite. It 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 70-80% of the diseases that we see. When we do our program, you know, in herbal formula is like cardivite and you see someone who could barely walk up a hill. Now, going for regular jobs a few months later, we know we're doing something right. It's a well thought out formula. I mean, the idea of working on yeast and metals both at the same time and liver function instead 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. For more information call 1-877-928-8822 or visit our website at www.heartdrop.com. That toll free number again 1-877-928-8822.

That'll take you to our YouTube page. Now Ed has put up five new videos. If you haven't seen them yet, we need your help. And you need the information, to be quite honest. A lot of people have been asking, these are three of the nuclear, biological, and chemical defense videos. There's number one, number two, and number three. They're already up and posted. But also, militia training operations, number three, very well done. And I think Ed had an excellent choice of music that Ed did. And also, we have militia Winterwolf, which is another exercise video, training operation video, FTX, as we call it. you get a chance to please take the time check them out look at the equipment you get to see how it works and uh... how it will integrate into the environment that we've discussed course no battlefield conditions uh... with regard to the nbc uh... videos that are there each one is about six to seven minutes long and is designed to be very user-friendly quick easy and concise now number one number two are somewhat close but there's a reason this offers you different types of instruction some people catch on to things one way, we may have to have another method or support system in place, so we did just that. But we're going to be posting more of these on a regular basis. They're already in the can. The biggest thing is the time it takes to Get them into the YouTube program and then get them approved. Yada, yada. It doesn't take that long, but it's just, guys, we got a lot to do here at this end and Ed's been doing a great job.

Editing has been ongoing. I'm going to be sitting down in the editing room here for, oh, probably the good portion of tonight after I get done with the last of our hours and I'll be doing that all through the evening queuing up the rest of the videos in preparation for what needs to be done next. So here again you can go to YouTube search when a little search bar comes up punch in Liberty Tree Radio all one word Liberty when you go there check out all the videos and you can help us by rating them and by Commenting and it makes a big difference. We want our pro patriot pro militia videos to be first up when somebody's punching in the word militia in a search and We need your help to get that done now. We have a couple of really patient guys who we got Joe from Louisiana first Joe jump in there, please We got you sir a friend you setting up a group, you know, we're getting all our friends We're getting armed and stuff like that and he's a real fan Specifically the Yugoslavia SKS. What are your thoughts on that weapon? Excellent choice. Actually the Type 66 rifle, especially with the spigot launcher, do not take the spigot launchers off those rifles. Leave them in place. There's two things. Number one, they do make a cool little kind of forward flash gas projector, okay? So they do cone it out kind of like on an M1 carbine. That's a good choice. That's a good thing. I didn't switch that out for a muzzle brake. i would leave a well actually i would leave the i'd leave the launchers on because remember here's the thing blanks are available if not you can make them now remember the not just regular rifle blanks they're actually uh... projector blanks slash rifle grenade blanks however that rifle was set up with the pad the stock i'd basically leave it the way it is i don't think i'd really change it if it already changed on practice make sure you don't get rid of any of the to be equipment that goes with it but leave them in the original configuration because there are a lot of instruments out there that go on that launcher. Okay, that's why they were put on that rifle to begin with. There's a lot of countries that still use. And let me give you a little hint. Most everybody that has an AR-15 has an automatic grenade launcher built into it. The dimension of the basket flash hider on the M16 is actually a grenade launching projector also. there are two bands cut into now remember they don't do this for the fun of the people two little bands that are cut into the flash of the m sixteen rifle air fifteen family of weapons be at the pickle fork or the regular basket uh... were designed so that they would one one part is designed uh... so that the blanket uh... blanket after course attaches to it at the picture point there is another thing is a little set of springs that go inside that group And what they're designed to do is create tension so that when you slide on a spigot grenade, then it allows the grenade to rest in place with some tension so it doesn't just slide off the end of the weapon. Then, by inserting a rifle grenade blank, obviously clearing the weapon, putting a rifle grenade blank in place, you can pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom p There might be some, there may be some grade B models left. The only thing I will say is they're cork sealed. What you have to do is you want to pull as soon as you get them. If you get any of these or you find them at the gun shows, take the cork out, be careful, and clean the cork off of the aluminum tube inside the channel. The reason is the cork is, well, two years old. It was a good solution to keeping the tube dry. The problem is the cork broke down and adhered to the aluminum through oxidation because the aluminum oxidized them to where the cork was making contact. What will happen is that will create an abrasion or adhesion on the launcher when you try to use them. Otherwise, these things work beautifully. We've used them with the M1 Garand and the M14 for many years. Back in the day, we bought them for $3.95 a piece. Starshell Illumination, okay, they're parachute flares. They're higher, they'll burn longer, and they burn brighter. So remember, everything is a tool. If you can keep the tool on the weapon, that's good. If you've already taken it off, just don't butcher the weapon or don't butcher the components. Okay, keep the parts on hand and be ready to use them. But the SKS is a fine rifle. You throw me an SKS, I won't worry about changing weapons, to be quite honest. Anything out there, and I know people always say, oh, there's not that much energy. I will still hit you if I can see you. I will put that round at 300 yards where I want to with an SKS. Now we understand the problems with energy at 300 yards with a .30 caliber rushing around, but remember that all you gotta do is hit the soft, chewy stuff. You don't have to knock them down center of mass. If you hit something that's motor function and moving, like the legs that tore lower torso or whatever, hey, I don't want to get hit with a 300 yards. Okay. This is true. The AK, the AR or the, you know, any of the other family weapons in that niche, they don't have the energy at the great ranges that say the 14, the M1 rifle. etc. or the HK, the FN FAL. Otherwise, good choice. The big thing there is, remember there's lots of cleaning kits, there's lots of web gear for those right now. Take advantage of it while you can. Magazine solution. The internal magazine that comes with it, it's nice, it works, but it's only 10 rounds. I know, but the big advantage is what you just said. Start from the beginning. It's nice and it works. The most important Well, I know I'm not going to say the volume fire issue. I know a lot of people have thought that way. But as I've said before, the the SKS 10 round magazine is is flawless pretty much unless you do something really weird to bend them up on the inside. They work forever. What you can do is this are companies that may still have them out there, but you could buy SKS stripper clips by the case. Remember the cases that the standard 30 Russian ammo come in that have two tens in them? Well, they make the same tin, the same box with the same tins, but inside are nothing but SKS stripper clips. Or they'll be in the box, in the case, laying in the cello paper in the oil, and there'll be something like four or five or six thousand depending upon what batch it is you bought. I would buy lots and lots of the stripper clips for the cheapest price you can one time and concentrate on having a lot of 10-round stripper clips ready to go. The other side doesn't expect you to be set up that way. If you are going to switch over to magazine systems for the AK, and let's say you just want to have them ready to go, but you can still feed from the stripper clip with the stripper clip from the top. Keep this in mind. Centerfire systems, I'm pretty sure. They're not the only ones. I'll give you a couple of the names here real quick. Uh-oh. Well, we're going to go to break first. When we come back, I'll give you some ideas as far as where to go from mags. But I like the SKS 10 round mag the way it is. I know again for volume fire You got to learn to use that stripper clip faster But you'd be amazed at how good you get at it with a little bit of practice. We'll be back in a minute We've got Lou. I'm sorry. We got Joe and we still have Steve waiting in the wings We'll be back in about three minutes and we the people radio network. This is dr.

Be the resistance, tell your friends about BraveNewBookstore.com. Ladies and gentlemen, we are back. This is the intel report. We've got Joe in Louisiana. Joe, go ahead. Any other questions? Yeah. Every squad or every platoon should have two, three, four, I don't know, however many designated marksmen. Yes. When we were looking at making our designated marksmen, what weapons should we use? And I'm thinking M91, most of them not yet. Actually, they worked just fine. The US military did the same thing in Korea. Every 10th man was handed a 1903 Springfield. And they used, they were designated marksmen, and that's with the rifle that was known as whispering death to the Koreans and the Chinese. They were terrified of the Springfield, and it was a bolt-action rifle. It had gone to the Garand in general, but this was a standardized, sometimes a national match rifle, but even a standard Smith-Krone off the shelf worked just fine. The Nagat rifles have excellent knockdown power at their maximum ranges, much like the .30-06 or the .308. There are a number of different scope systems available, and there are all kinds of non-tappable scope systems, by the way, before I forget. go in that direction, the center fire system does have the B-Squared type non-tapping mounts. In other words, you don't have to modify your rifle. Use the weapon just as is and the Nagat will work in serving that purpose. There's a lot of neat things that can be done with it without heavily modifying the weapon and out of the box. It works just as well. Now real quick with the SKS, magazines, center fire system does have them. They have the 20 round and the 30 round steel and they've got the Zytel. I wouldn't go any more than 30 rounds if you're going to go with detachable type magazines with the SKS. And I still would look at it this way. That gives you initial fire power and then I would go to stripper clips and just feed 10 rounders off the top and just go 10 rounds at a time. Unless you want to buy more mags and that's up to you. You can get a better price the more you buy. The cheaper they are, to be quite honest, they're down to about $13 or $14 a piece. And again, in quantity, three or more, they drop down. Your SKS is if you want to go with optics. And I've mentioned this many times over the years. There's two companies, of course. One is Centerfire. They've got them on hand. They've got the dust cover mounted scopes. They have them with the scope permanently fixed. And they've got the standard Weaver type rings with adjustable position, variable geometry, and with the see-through system, which is very important. So you still use your iron sights. Center Fire Systems number is 800-950-1231 or CenterFireSystems.com but they're not the only ones, there's a bunch of other companies so shop around. The other one is Etcetera, LLC, that's C-E-T-E-R-A. Get a hold of a catalog from them right away. 1-800-642-1600. Again, that's 1-800-642-1600. And there's another company closer to you guys, southsummit.com. southsummit.com, 1-800-234-8654. That's 1-800-234-8654. And you want to talk to Stephanie. OK? Now, one of the things that Stephanie might have for your Model 66 is they might have spigot launched players. In other words, that's what your launcher is, is a spigot launcher. I want to check on that because you guys are close enough you could drive to them. They won't ship the flares for any of the safety flares, but if you drive and pick them up, you're going to get a better price from them than anybody else in the country. And one thing, since you're close in down Louisiana, they've got the RKT-1 parachute flares. It's the RKT-1 PAR flare. $4.97 a piece. Now those are pump flares, signal flares, parachute type. They're British made, but there's other companies they have, but those Brit players for $497 is the best price in the market right now. Sound good? Yeah, sounds good. Hopefully we gave you some ideas. Now I understand you were saying you were thinking about taking the launchers off of the rifles? Yeah, and replacing it with a muzzle brake, because I didn't really figure out fine, you know, something too terribly useful to fit on there. Well, actually, here's the thing. The Dutch, okay, when you were down there for Katrina, did the Dutch show up down there, or didn't they? Well, they were down there. Oddly enough, I live in Mandeville, which is about 20, 30 minutes away from New Orleans. It's a suburb above New Orleans. Our police department was running gun confiscation. We didn't get our gun confiscated. And they were mostly doing it on the waterways. Right. The waterways, making sure no one's stuck through the... Well, the reason I brought this up is the Dutch, the Germans, pretty much all the European forces and the Chinese used spigot grenades. And all of them are the same dimension as the launcher that's on the SKS. So keep that in mind. That's a nice little pocket weapon to have in place. Needless to say, we were using it for flare launching. Yes, I would use it for anything else. That's right. We're using it for single flares. That's what we're using it for. But anyway, that's an option on your part. I would be careful. Don't do any too much to alter the weapon. If you do take that part off, just keep it in a kit form with the rest of your spare parts. One more question if I may. Your personal preference, internal magazine with stripper clips, dual magazine. Because I've been reading that the mags, they don't work well. That's why I stick with the stripper clips. The SKS magazine works flawlessly. I have an SKS that I've used for years. I can put the bullet wherever I want to. I have never had a failure with that magazine, ever. And I can say that I have shot probably 6 to 7,000 rounds through that SKS. It's a tired old beast to begin with. Made about 19... And that particular rifle, all machined, looks terrible on the outside. Looks like it's brand new on the inside. and the magazine is the issue, it's a reliability. If it works, there's no need to change it. The important thing is understand how to make that rifle work for you. The stripper clips will get the job done. Lots of them. Okay? One of the other things real quick, chest pouches. Really cheap from Center Fighter Systems. I know I'm harping on Center Fighters only because I know they got them. There's other companies that have them. You might find a better price, but they've got probably the best that I've seen. They have new nylon or they have the original Chinese. What we do is this, we load up lots and lots and lots of stripper clips into the chest pouches in the Ziploc bags. Two stripper clips, ten rounds each per pouch, per pocket. They're then in the Ziploc bags to keep them dry. They're then folded up and put into 50 caliber cans or 20 millimeter cans. Now, you grab the pouch of the whole thing, the empty one can come off, the new one goes on, congratulations, you run with it. If you're going to hand the rifles out, here's your SKS, here's your chest pouch, just like they planned on doing. The difference is, we focus on marksmanship. Accuracy first. 500 misses, do not constitute a cumulative hit. most important is that rifle has a very good very good very desirable than accuracy placed by a weapon and is an excellent compliment combined with like the but he said the nay gun or the k ninety eight miles or or whatever else you have to use for integrating your firearm system it like it okay will find the s cast repressed in quantity and when you do find a company do me a favor you guys can help with this we're looking for other pockets where the cases of this of the strippers are still around start calling around and watch the different web pages. I gave you the two companies, etc. may have them. They're located in Tennessee. They're not too far from either, really. We already got a big box of stripper clips. Excellent. I mean, it's been down to the gun show in Slidell and they had them there, so. The next step is just, like you said, carrying pouches, take advantage of the leather mag pouches or the leather 10-shot stripper clip carriers, and take advantage of the chest pouches that are out there in force. Okadoke? Absolutely. Thank you. Alright, thank you very much. God bless. And we have Steve who's been so patient with California. California, go ahead, please. Go on, Mark. 22 speed book. Yes. Yes, Mike, did you hear that? Go ahead and do that one more time. You take it. All set to go. Price is right. Excellent. And again, there's 7-11. Just remember, you don't want to grab a whole handful. But if you keep taking a few extras every so often, it works out just fine, doesn't it? You betcha. And I can picture what you're talking about doing. So this is a perfect solution. And again, there's a number of different options for how you carry it with regard to mag pouches. One of the things to do also, if you're going to use the straws, line the pouch so that it's hardened. There's a number of different plastics you can use that will probably work just fine, or light service type tubes, you know, in and of themselves that are the same size as the inner wall of the mag pouch or the carrier that you're going to use to put the tubes in. And that'll give you a little more strength. In fact, you could even make it out of PVC. That would work. And then use a PVC end cap for the base. That way it won't bounce around. And no matter what gets them, they're not going to fold, spindle, or mutilate. This is a quick, cheap solution. Excellent. Thank you, Steve. In fact, it's a great way to close weapons Wednesday here, too. Give us a call later on next week. God bless. We are at the top of the hour. I want to thank the guys who called in because they were so patient. We do talk about a lot of things here. Hopefully we gave you some ideas. People, our objective is to win. Not to break even, but to win. We gotta make sure that we drive the buggers out of this country when the time comes. First step though, we want you all armed and equipped properly. Don't forget to get a gas mask for every family member. The other side is cringing at the idea you're that well prepared. God bless the republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march. Fixed bayonets chasing down the road. You can use the 22-week camp car being at the high point. So let's drive them on down to the beaches. Let's let them swim through the sharks. They ain't gonna make it. God bless and good night. 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.
