Other than that, there's been a number of things that are on the menu. I think we'll be able to pick them up in the next hour or two. I hear the music. Most important is be prepared to do maintenance. We had some interesting questions and information was brought in. It's probably a classic example of British Enfield rifle. Guys, a lot of your weapons are going to be packed in Greece. You've got to be ready to clean them thoroughly. Now, you can clean them and even re-grease them if you're putting them in the storage. But most important is to take all the original packing out, reintroduce a comparable quality lubricant, and then get on with business. We're at the top. God bless the Republic. Definitely. We will go over. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is not wrong. We are a comparable day Empire. We rock the big tree. It's a tall...

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. But 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 pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame you've taken safe number 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 harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn and your daughters so their children readers 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 Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist for once 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 in 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? Oh good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark quirky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories south, southwest, east and northwest. Ultra Net Technologies, east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. We are also on the Hallmark network, eight colonial states on the eastern seaboard, and expanding into many other areas. Today's date is the 20th. April, for some reason I planted 21st in there, 22nd of April, year zero, 2009. As we know, there have been a number of interesting turns in the political arena today. One of the other things I did not get a chance to follow up on, forgive me, but apparently the 9th District committed to a ruling. This is a federal court. Of course, we know they'll take this to the next level and try to overturn it, which is typically what they do. They'll take it to the appeals and take it to the Supreme and flip it on its back. But a ruling just came through, I understand, at least a couple of major written decisions or written comments on the subject that basically stated the states could not restrict the right to keep and bear arms. Well, I want to wait and see till we, again, make a point of reading the stuff only because, and I appreciate the call about the subject, but remember that a lot of times when the stuff is reported, it's reported to put a smiley face on what might actually be a manure pie. It's kind of like what happened with the Washington ruling. As quickly as they ruled with all the gobbledygook and because they intentionally made it blurry and fuzzy, what happened is Washington DC turned right around and declared that a Glock 9mm pistol was a submachine gun. Again, basically breaking the rules. Now of course they can call it a submachine gun and then challenge and they'll take it all through the courts to finally acknowledge while they're wasting how many years? Oh, six years? Seven years of our time in a situation that shouldn't even take place? claiming or arguing the definition of the arm, which of course has already been set long before the Washington DC political has tried to twist that around. Again, no rules. They're going to keep violating. They're going to give you lip service in one direction, lie beyond a shadow of a doubt, and try to plug the rest of their BS in the main process of things as they develop. I'm very unreasonable. How does that sound? We aren't going to be reasonable at all because their idea of reasonable is bend over and kiss your own rumpus. Your reasonable BS, we've seen that nonsense before. Demand everything, then demand half, and then take a quarter because after all, we compromise. No discussion on our end. And then of course, as soon as they get a quarter of what you've got, then they come back and demand 100% again. Oh, then half. Then they'll just take a quarter of what's left. Of course now, that's only a quarter of the three quarters you had before. Oh, but as soon as they get that passed, they will come right in and demand again. But what they'll also do is add clauses that allow them to modify it without any discussion and expand it and extend it. By the way, can we say California ban? You all remember the compromise they had there. As soon as it was passed and it was put in place, all the weapons that had been taken off the list. were put right back on and then some. That's exactly the agenda that Shyster has in plan for everybody this next time around. Semibam and Ding Dong being the goof that he is is again lying through his teeth but there again he's got Biden to the left of him, Clinton to the right, there he is, well stuck in the middle? No. Way up there on the left end of the spectrum with Stalin and the rest of the Faroists, Trotskyites, whatever you want to call them. the as high a rating as you can to pitch in and help us in that way too. So it sounds like we have a caller. Who do we have? We might just have a patient listener. Okay, that's not a problem. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday. A couple of things here too. Again, a reminder, if you have a CAR 15 or, and I guess this is true now too guys, remember you got a lot of these new plastic stocks where they've gone with the AKM, the SKS over to the collapsible AR-15 type buttstock. Okay, that's fine, but remember it is adjustable for different lengths of arms. If you have one of the ladies or one of the younger kids or somebody who is of smaller stature and you try to hand them your rifle and you're a big guy, 6'2", long arms, whatever, well adjust the stock to compensate for the shooter. That's why they made it variable geometry. I have been seeing this as an issue for a while and it's like, well okay, we probably should just remind people because it's a repeated error when you take a weapon that, you know, a guy that's say six foot tall, I'm six foot, okay, long arms, I'm using the weapon, it has variable expansion and I take it out to the max because I want to be comfortable. Well, then you hand it to the girl, she's 105 pounds, she's five foot two, she doesn't have a whole lot of upper body strength because girls are a little lighter on upper body strength than the guys are. Well, right off the bat guys, adjust the weapon to meet the shooter. I cannot stress this enough. I'm harping on this a little bit today for a reason because we can even see better performance from these shooters. They all performed well. The video that's on YouTube right now from one of the other guys that posted them in the militia, under militia category. The girls that he showed, they're 44 total. All of them did a fine job with the weapons they had. Even Grandma with the MP40 in the wheelchair. Some of you may have already seen that. But anyway, the point is that when you have a variable geometry in a system that's easy to use, you can't get any easier than the AR-15, the CAR-15 type buttstock guy, the folding stocks, collapsing stocks, they collapse on themselves, the accordion out. These are as easy as it gets. So again, take the time, remind the shooter to try and, you know, again, keep their legs shoulder-width apart, lean a little into the weapon. and bring the weapon down into the lower center torso of the body when aiming. This will ensure that it keeps more of the rounds into the target area even if the weapon, if the trigger is pulled and there may be a second, say, surprise discharge because the person pulls the trigger, recoil, they kind of grip the weapon, they fire a second time, that's fine. Just tell them to bring it down and bore it into the lower center of mass of the torso. Ideally, into the groin area. That's your best choice. Anything else that's a puller, it comes up into the target. Hopefully, it will come up and still stay within the parameters of the silhouette. One where you've got to hit even though the grazer is better than cracking air. Notice that. We've been dealing with that. Another thing is... and weapons are just of course just disappearing to the point where we're looking at being harder and harder to find something you're going to be just step out and pick up guys now one of the things that uh... we touched on here is sarco has uh... basically what are seventy percent finished sixty seventy percent or eighty percent finished uh... castings in uh... nineteen eleven frames now you guys can check it out you go to w w w dot sarco inc dot com s a r C-O-I-N-C dot com. S-A-R-C-O-I-N-C dot com. Serial number for the 1911 standard frame and slide casting combo is 3695. That's for serial number C45225. C45225. 1911 standard frame and slide casting combo. They also offer the slides separately. You'll be able to find the listing for that. They offer, and this is an interesting one for those of you who have been looking for barrels, CLT-031, CLT-031, M1911, unfinished barrels, 10 for $40. That's right, $4 a piece. And or $4.95 each. I say get 10 of them that way if you make a mistake. Hey, you're out $4, big deal. C45226. is the 1911 Freeman Slide casting combo in a compact model. And the price for the compact Freeman Slide casting set is $34.95. Again, $34.95. So you're not talking a whole lot of money here. Of course, I will point out people are saying, whoa, that would be awfully difficult, really. A bunch of people with braziers, rat tail files, and old chunks of hacksaw put together 45s from scratch. You're looking at a casting here and you'll pretty well be able to figure out what it is. It's not a firearm. And again, you're working on your own system. You'll know exactly what went into it. Parts for the 1911's guys are everywhere. I mean absolutely everywhere. There's no excuse not to put a kit together for maybe another $100. They're up to $200 from Sarco. But if you shop around at a gun show, remember you don't have to buy everything at once. You can piece it here, piece it there, and put a standard 1911 together. It's going to be pretty decent. Now, this gets into another issue having to do with holsters. One of the things I would warn you about is, and of course a lot of you have nylon holsters, and that's fine, it's purely a matter of ergonomics. What is comfortable for you? Now, you may also want to look at how can I protect my weapon in the field. Flapholsters, there's a lot of comments about but remember that trust me you'll get into them when the time comes and if you practice with a flap holster. Flapholster offers protection from the elements, protection from debris, from damage, from brush or dangly stuff that wants to hook to things, especially when you're going cross country. So a flap holster, especially as a hip holster, is not a bad idea depending upon the environment and again it's also personal choice. But remember the nylon holsters, make sure that you have a good closure system. Make sure all the snaps are clean. If they get dinged up and they become loose, this can be a detriment. You can lose something very easily while you're prone or let's say when you're trying to crawl through something, you reach down for your personal firearm, your handgun, and it's not there. Uh-oh, that's not a good thing, is it? So you have to do constant inspection of the snaps, the cross straps, make sure that everything is where it should be. This is most critical because it's the most common mistake made. The snaps are broken, they look to be soft. Find yourself a company that does tent work. Typically they do snaps and they'll do industrial grade, whatever you want to pay. Guess what? Top dollar on something like that as far as the stamps. That one time you need to reach on and go, my hand arm's gone. Well, you probably won't get that out. Through your mind as you reach for them. Now, as far as hip holsters and shoulder holsters, as we know, when Mark said flap. But for a shoulder rig, again, remember, nylon rigs are a little slippery. When you're dealing with a leather, like a pancake holster, the old military type for the 45 or the 19 model 10, and a military and police model and 38 or 38 special, those guys usually are form fit to the weapon. And the leather will shrink to a degree and make to the weapon. The thing about the original holsters that were used during World War II is they have the dot type, much heavier type of industrial sleeve. Now you may think you can't get these but they are still out there, they are still being made or at the very least there's a bunch of them that the tent repair companies will have because a lot of stuff that's been sold, military and civilian, another place to find somebody that does the dock keeper work in blue steel or in flat black is to check with your boat and furniture. We have to deal with a lot of stuff that's on marine equipment that has the dot snaps. They typically will also know about the grades and quality of the equipment. You get to pick and choose. You may want to switch something out to another system. Well, find out from them what works or what they see that's been most reliable and what isn't. Get a little input from the people at the other end. If you're dealing with a shoulder holster, I would remind everybody that some place you want to be carrying spare mags. And while yes, I would have mags in every pocket, at least. The reason is I like to disperse the weight and also this way I've got more firepower for the pistol. Again, that's what they made mag pouches for. There are a number of different systems. Pick one that works for you if you're carrying the revolver. HSK Speed Loaders, this is critical because speed loaders reduce your time turnaround. And a lot of cop shops have been training with speed loaders for years if they're still using the revolvers. And pretty darn good with them. In fact, a lot of times you won't tell the difference from that in an automatic because you shouldn't be spraying and praying to begin with. Again, knowing how to properly use the speed loaders. Practicing with them is critical to your service. Here's the type. Here's the lesson model 10. You got a official police or say Safari. Now Safari makes a pretty decent, typically cop shops but find that somebody like the police chief or one of the deputies bought up everything the station had or they were going to throw them out. So he took them and took them home and you go to the gun show and you'll find a guy has a whole bunch of K frame stuff and a whole bunch of L frame stuff. and some odds and ends cop shop holsters. Sometimes the stuff is sent to the shop for experimentation as a promo. Other times it's stuff that's bought but was not part of the inventory and he got both the used stuff and the new stuff. Take a look and understand as I've said before it's not just the razor it's the blades that get you. If you've got a Smith Model 10 or a copy or knockoff example is right now Centerfire has, I don't know if they have any in stock again but it says on their website that they did get some in. They are importing a K-frame from the Philippines that's an M&P model. They have a 2-inch under cover and they have a 4-inch combat pistol. Those weapons would be fine for any of you that are listening right now. I don't have any problem with the K-frame. One of the advantages of the K-frame revolver is the amount of junk laying around to service it. Speed loaders to leather to jackass rigs, conventional shoulder holsters, drop-type bucket shoulder holsters, small of the back, in the belt, out of the belt. hip holsters of every kind you can think of low hangers if you want them cowboy gun holsters if you want all for the smith and wesson k frame type gun or any of the variants rossie makes a really nice j frame and a really nice k frame knockoff wouldn't have any problem if you threw them at me and i'd use them all day in fact many of the rossies are stainless again when you're looking at these things maintenance not just simply uh... basic you're using the weapon sure you've got all the brushes a lot of swabs lubricant and the weapon constantly breaking the weapon down for cleaning inspect them even for any failures or whatever possible failures may be on the horizon you can look at specific wearing tear sometimes if you're paying attention you'll catch it before becomes anymore of a significant problem but make a point of fixing in fixing it as you go in other words correcting it but does not become significant or inexpensive replace portion may still have to replace parts But once you can see what parts may be giving you difficulty and you work with a friend who is an armorer, that's always good. And you may want to change parts out. You don't get rid of the old ones, you keep them on standby. Better, you know, it's kind of like if you have your old tires off your car when you buy new ones. Better some spares than no spare, haven't tossed away. Take them home and just put them on the shelf there to have a couple extra to change out. Start looking for extra wheel rims. On that note, something else, numeric arms, old numeric arms, gun parts, a whole bunch of desert eagle parts. Some of these parts were made inside the US, two of the grouping of parts were made in the US, the third were made in Israel, IMI Israeli Military Industries. Now, our firing pins, extractors, hides, desert eagle, and 44 auto mag or 44 Remington mag, and also in the 50 caliber, the half inch. So, there's the thing you might want to check out if you have a Desert Eagle. I do not know, it's rather interesting, what they do is of course they've changed out parts, but this is something where they picked up a whole bunch of odds and ends stuff. Another thing that we discovered there, by effect, Butterknife and myself are kind of talking and going through the inventory, in the stocks and grips for the Gun Parts Company, old numerate charms. actually is the company's old name. But Gunparts Company, these guys have a whole bunch of very inexpensive pock mire type grips. Around 45 pock mire grips. Hey, you're going to build a 45? Hmm, might want to put some pock mires on them. Of course, you can stick with standard slab. That's fine by me. I use them both ways. but for about $9.95 and the more you buy the cheaper they are by the way. You can pick up some nice pockmeyer type knockoff wraparound grips and they have a number of pockmeyer grips listed. Ruger, Smith and Wesson. These are all, I assume, new but from an inventory where they bought somebody's supply system out. This happens all the time. Gun shops have gone out of business. Jobbers or wholesalers have gone out of business. Either way, there's a whole bunch of cool stuff there that you want to look at. So get over there to Gun Parts Company, old numerous charms. Do a search. Forgive me and he might even come up with a web page for me or he can slide me through the microphone. I don't see a listing but I might see it here in a minute. You never know. Anyway, another thing. We were looking for crossbow parts. I know a lot of you out there are using crossbows. In fact, in the exercise that took place up north, that was one of the many classes that was given which was on alternate weapon systems or two degree archaic weapon systems that still work just fine. The guys were up there building an arbalisk. That's right. We're talking something that will throw a six foot piece of half inch pipe, a good what, four, five, six hundred yards depending upon how tough the truck spring is you use, how much tension you got there. But anyway, they were also covering crossbows and broadswords, hatchets, fighting knives, all the other cool things. Well, if you need replacement strings for your crossbow, bolts for your crossbow, perhaps other parts, both for the pistol crossbows, which a lot of you have, or if you're looking at If you want to contact us, here is the company you want to contact. They are in Richardson, Texas. Their zip code is 75081. Phone number is 1-800-234-8654. They do have a number of other pieces of equipment there, but they have a lot of replacement parts or spares. They do have both crossbows. In the pistol configuration, yeah, the little Chinese ones, not very expensive. And actually those work quite well. We used them for rat extermination for a period of time when we were helping a friend out that had chickens. Wherever you have chicken farms, guys, you always have rats. And in this case, he had a bunch of breeding show chickens of all kinds of breed, you can imagine, and pheasants. We experimented with all of the small or improvised weapon systems to eradicate rats. There are two things that did. It allowed us to practice with the weapon systems to see how they perform and also to perfect techniques for this type of hunting and engagement. We got a chance to surprise the rats and then see what would happen when we would surprise the rats. These little handheld crossbows work just fine at shish-kabobbing rats at pretty much any range within a building. and we got pretty good at them and of course working in teams we could follow up with a second shot instantly with a second shooter high low on whatever target we were engaging then of course we experimented with blow guns also and we went with wax loads and with small bulldog revolvers and using nothing but a primer charge to move the wax which was also quite devastating with the rats by the way you almost skim them while you were killing them but the wax just expands and Well, you know the rest you can imagine anyway smaller crossbows larger crossbows the phone number again 1-800-234-8654 1-800-234-8654 That's 1-800-234-8654 They do have some night vision some little stuff not very much and I don't know the price has probably gone up But there's many other things that they carry and that's south summit.com and you'll be talking to Stephanie ask for Stephanie, tell her you heard about the site on the intelligence report in the afternoon. Let her know that we've been passing the word on. They're not a sponsor, but it would be nice if we could move them that way so we might pitch in. Also, Heritage Gun Books. Another thing is maintenance. Especially since I've been watching this, we had a discussion this morning about a number one, mark three, Enfield. A lot of grease on the weapon appeared to have some build up in the bore, which is going to happen. Guys remember that they usually load the entire bore up with grease. The weapon's already been shot, the metal has already been cleaned, it's been scrubbed, there's no finish. Obviously you want to put a sealing material between the oxygen of the regular environment and the steel that makes up the barrel because all steel, all metal, in fact all objects, are trying to return to their natural state, to their original state. All things return to the earth, even people obviously. But because of this, we can retard the process of breakdown. And so with these SMLEs, these number one mark 3s, and with mark 4s, you've seen this also with moisten nagats. You're going to have a whole lot of grease built up. Now I'm going to warn you about something. Basic cleaning is not going to do it. You can get a lot of stuff out. You want to take your Q-tips and you want to get right down into the corners there, but you want to use a good solvent. Or if you're initially degreasing, although you may want to pull the receiver out of the stocks, make sure that you're careful there. Don't strip any threads. Always use, don't strip any screwdriver heads either. That's what I'm really worried about. When you're trying to get something apart, get the right tool for the job. And by the way, spend the money on a decent tool in this case your armorers tools should either be mil-spec stuff from the armorers kits or By the best quality you can, and make sure that you have a screwdriver set for instance that matches up to the weapon screws that you're going to be working on. You don't want to slip, you don't want to snap them, you don't want to peen them over, you don't want to bend them, you don't want to cause any cross threading later on. Guys, you want to make sure you have the right tools for this job. But once you disassemble it... Then to get that oil, that grease out of there, that preservative, you're going to want to bathe it. There's a couple ways you can cook it. But one way or another you want to use, at the very least, take it outside, get it away from any flame, and you can use gasoline to actually strip the grease to a degree. But there again, be very, very careful. Don't try to walk anything back in that's got gasoline vapor on it because, remember, it's the fuel air mix that will kill you guys. It doesn't take much gasoline to create a big boom boom when the time comes. So beware and be careful there, please. Now, with regard to cleaning the weapon, get into all the fine cracks. One thing about the lubricants, especially older lubricants when they used industrial grease and such, is that it will start to look and mimic the surface area of the weapon itself. In fact, it will round out, it will completely seal, the bolt action is working to a degree, you wipe it off with a rag. What happens guys, you don't even see a crack or a seam because it's fluid, it's malleable. And so it actually fills in the dead space. and what happens you look at it and you think well it looks clean, I already wiped it down, the basic track areas, you've already wiped the bolt off, but unfortunately there is a certain amount of material working into certain areas, some parts of the weapon that are going to cause other problems as the weapon heats. and as carbon leaves the chamber. It's going to leave the chamber down the barrel, so it's going to slip to a degree while you're working the action. And this carbon is going to bond with the grease and create basically like an emery lubricant. And you don't want that. We're trying to preserve the finish. We're trying to maintain the weapon. It doesn't mean you don't want to break a firearm in. We do. But you also don't want to wear the weapon down prematurely before it's time. So, take the Q-tips, get right down in there in the corners, get up inside the chamber there, clean it out as best you can, use a volume item to pull out the grease if it's built up first. Again, don't use something that's going to scrape the metal. This is why, again, go to the dollar store, 400 Q-tips for $1. See how that works? Little bin. In this case, it's one of the few places where China Sport is really kind of handy. So, once we've gone through the weapon and of course we've cleaned out everything, we've stripped it, we're going to go over it with a conventional lubricate. Forgive me. First, a conventional stripping agent yet again. We're going to get all the corners, cracks and crevices. We're going to clean up all of the threaded areas and all the contact areas. And then we're going to re-lubricate as we reassemble. Once we've cleaned everything off and we've let it dry, we've wiped it down, we're then going to properly lubricate to guidelines. Again, we're not looking at it sloppy unless we're looking at long-term storage. Then we may actually redo what was originally done to the weapon but with new lubricants. That way if it's stored, it will be stored more efficiently and again you have a complete vapor barrier so that the metal is protected from the air, from oxygen. It doesn't make contact with it. This is important. Now another component here is onboard lubricants. A lot of you guys have military firearms that have storage points. Well, if you can get hold of the oilers or the grease pots or the, for instance, the lubra plate pots that actually go in your M14, your FN FAL, your HK 91, well take advantage and carry them in the storage point where they belong. The idea behind this is that whenever you bring something like this into the field, it's right there where you can use it, easily accessible, and you're able to run with that ball, get it on down the road where it needs to be without malfunction. Now, backing up a little bit, understand something, that SMLE that I was mentioning, that was talked about this morning, there is nothing wrong with a British number 4, Mark 1, whatever model, there's nothing wrong with a British number 1, Mark 3. All these weapons have been in service for a long time. The Smelly is a, I don't care, it's just a very comfortable rifle. You've got to acknowledge this. it looks a little you know unique in some ways and boxy and others they it's british what we say they were looking for function but they also built in pretty decent ergonomics and so the rifle is very very comfortable very well balanced the only thing is it closes on the croat closing stroke which you have to get used to most of the weapons you presently use have a mouser type action which cocks on the upward stroke you turn the bolt it pushes around back in the weapon is already already and ready to engage you twist and push the bolt down this engages the locking cams and the weapons ready to fire but there's less with the Mauser action it does make you think with the infield and it works just fine actually one of the things that I will answer a question is I am pretty sure although again double check with the guys out west in Orem like guys you might have a 303 British and it's getting a little pricey to pull the trigger on that Well, why not go to discarding SABOs? The 30 caliber SABO cups will work with 303 caliber and will have no problem sealing the bore, making contact with the rifling. And as was pointed out, remember the Enfields got industrial grade rifling to begin with. They work very, very well in that respect. So, unless you got some of the American micro group barrels and some of the American Lend Lease rifles, remember some number 4 mark 1s were made by Savage Arms and others in the United States and then delivered as Lend Lease weapons. Later they were returned and the U.S. government sold a lot of them over the counter and you know, sent them on down the road. This happened in a lot of places. Anyway, if you're looking at the Enfield, the discarding SABOL solution, two things happens. Number one, We're looking at less wear and tear on the barrel, obviously. We're also looking at increased performance with a 303 cartridge. You obviously should be pushing close to 4,500 to 4,600 feet per second. You're looking at using a 223 Sabo Dart. 55 grain, probably a little lighter if it's made out of steel or made out of whatever, so it'll be about 53 grains. but you're looking at monster performance and you're preserving your main battle rifle ammunition for more critical needs. That is always a consideration. Remember these Sablecups are not that expensive and creating the two to three darts is something that one of our other manufacturers are going to be putting online very, very quickly. However, if you have a drill or if you have a bridge port or if you have a number of different tools you can manufacture your own projectiles. There is a whole trick to that, making up a mock lathe with a drill, we won't get into that tonight. Remember guys, improvise, adapt and overcome. What you are doing is coming up with solutions to problems otherwise would silence your firearms and simply not bring them to the range where they need to be. Accuracy is also a cool thing with the infields. Amazingly enough they actually put some really intricate combat sights on some of these weapons but if they're not on the firearm you want to upgrade a little bit remember the number five jungle carbine sites were micro adjustable kind of goofy that was one of the most backwards things they did they took the L-type sites off a lot of the jungle carbines and put the machined milled micro adjustable rear sights on the jungle carbines making sense the weapon doesn't have the same range and There's a reason for putting that cone flash hider on that shortened barrel because it works like a little bit of a flamethrower when you still have a lot of unburned powder leaving the end of the muzzle. So that shouldn't be a surprise. Woo-hoo! That makes for a lot of fun. Anyway, keep in mind that you can find those sites and you have to check a number of sources. Sarco is one of the companies, sarcoinc.com is one of the companies that carried these sites for a long time. If you go to the Shotgun News, there are a number of carriers that have these sites also. It's not critical that you switch them out. The peep site as it exists on the rifles worked just fine. However, there are adjustable that are for compensating for both windage and elevation. They're available over the counter, made by the British, manufactured during World War II or in the period just after World War II. And there are precision quality comparables for a lot of the competition sites that were built here in the United States for the 1903 Springfield and of course for the M1 Verand. So there are options for your Enfield to tighten it up even more. Another option with all these weapons, but of course it's a personal choice, B-squared scope mounts. These are non-tapping scope mounts. B-squared scope mounts. You can find them for the British Enfield, the K98 Mauser, Arasaka Rifle, 3040 Craig, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, you name it, they make it. So if you're looking for something like that, again you want to spot check, I believe that you will find some of these. with Sarco and you will find them in other companies throughout the shotgun news. You might want to check with, well I know Center, forgive me, CenterfireSystems.com does have some of the B-Squared mounts. I don't know how much they have left. They have been selling a lot. But they do have some still listed on their website and you can check those out to find out what's going on. Okay. The other direction is mainmilitary.com. That's M-A-I-N-E military.com. Take the time to check out their site. Or give Frank a call at the office and ask him about B-Squared Scope Mounts. He may have stuff sitting there, but he doesn't have enough to make it worthwhile to post it on the page. If he has only two or three left, he'll just figure somebody walking in the store is probably going to want them or if you are smart and ask about them. You never know what kind of a deal you might get. So if you want to get a whole bunch, that's a nice idea. So anyway, take the time, make the effort, stay focused on that. And I would say also that with any of these weapons, if you're going to use the B-square mount, try to pick up a second scope. Something we've seen is that there's a bunch of, and I know you're going to say it because I know this. The Chinese scopes that are coming in and some of the Russian scopes are incredibly cheap. Even from over the counter at sporting goods shops like Dunham's or even at Wally World of all places. Now, if they do show up there and they're cheap enough and they've got some kind of disposal sale or they're discontinuing something, it would behoove you to probably pick up three of the scopes if they're cheap enough. In other words, you can get something for under $20, grab all three of whatever might be sitting there so you've got three scopes for the rifle. Now, why would Mark do that? Well, I get a beater scope like this. It's not really anything fancy. It's a fixed power scope. But I have it on the rifle. It's already sighted in. Well, the nice thing is, remember that rather than having to change over to another piece of optics, if something gets broken, if I'm bebopping through the woods, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, what was that? Oh man, a tree. Oh, my rifle. Oh. Well, if it's a seven or eight hundred dollar scope, and granted I know people can argue, well, I need that because of the quality, that's good. But in some cases, especially for a beater scope, for just utility work, you grab these. If one breaks, you torque it off, you don't throw it away, you save it for parts. And then you turn around and remount the other scope. There's no having to readjust or understand how the scope performs. It's an exact mimic of the first one you had on the rifle. You put the next one back up and online, then you take the time to sight it in, if you do have time. And you should, obviously, take the time. But reciting the scope quicker, of course, than if you were to go to a totally different system because you're already familiar with it. The basic weapon set is the same. Your eye relief should be mimicked. It should be the same without any complications. And so you plug the thing in, and your weapon's back online within the shortest period of time. If you have a third failure, you have a third scope. Wow. And I would go so far as to say, If you're going to go in this direction, and this is just a little subroutine with regard to policy, remember that you carry one of the extra scopes in a little milli pelican type case or a small milli type spine. If you find any of them, there's Pelican, there's Milli, there's Curtis, there's a number of different companies that make cases that are for off to the gun industry. Find some stuff at Wally World like this, guys. Hey, it might be silver. Guess those are the color issues. Darken up the thing and then in the field and stick it your backpack with the rest you can go up along just in Otherwise, let's see sure we don't go over all we got another thing to keep everybody happy I'm not forgetting the SKS or the AK because I know of guys while you're talking about a lot of these odd weapons and both the SKS is in the AKs right now guys Parts and pieces are catches catch cam, but there are a few companies that had some stuff and of all the companies again Sarco Sarco Inc dot-com does have some of the parts pieces and assemblies sitting on the shelf you're going to have to go through and even though they list them I gotta remind everybody again you know that it is convenient to use the but remember the people typically that you deal with in the firearms industry right now are at least and in most cases because of this if you think they're having a problem shipping stuff imagine what it's like to try and compare some time off to update your inventory with your Now some people would tell you, well, you know, they've got a computer system for that and chances are when you enter a number for a product it takes it offline. Sometimes that's true, most of the time it is not. Simply because the guys that are doing it don't have that kind of money to spend and they feel they would rather be conservative to save, you know, resources rather than going to cutting edge state of the art. So expect that when you see something, call and confirm. You don't really want to be waiting for something on backorder. If another company has, say, some of what you need, what you want to do is grab what you can from the one company, grab what you can from the second. Between the second and the third company, you'll probably find everything that's a point of securing everything as best you can and making sure that these systems, especially with the SKS's, make them fit the shooter. I think this is another thing that I should remind everybody of, just because A lot of people like the plastic stocks. The standard SKS stock may be the best choice for the printing upon their size. Now, I will tell you that I have purchased SKS's with folding stocks. I purchased them with solid stocks in the plastic because that's how they came. But I am just as comfortable and I've got long arms guys. I'm going to tell you, I can say that. I've got a good long reach. And yet that SKS, I can bring it right in tight to the body with a standard stock. I've got a beautiful cheek weld. I can keep that weapon snug and locked into the arms. When I squeeze the trigger, I can put anything out the 300-yard block without any problem. Some people say, what good is the 300 yards? Hey, at the very least I'm going to scare the snot out of you and you'll take cover. Ideally, if I know what I'm doing, I'm probably going to do some damage and hit some soft, chewy stuff, and it is going to hurt you. Now, it is a carbine. The S-Cast is not a main battle rifle. It's not an MBR. It is a carbine. This is a very common mistake that is made with people because they have tried to change the nomenclature. It is the SKS rifle. No, it is a carbine. In fact, it is one of the two of the carbines that were made that were specifically mission designed. Many of the rifles are shortened to become carbines. The M1 carbine and the SKS were rifles specifically designed and adopted for that mission niche. So understand that it's got a very unique history. Again, don't ignore that. The SCAS and the AK with regard to the semi-auto versions, pretty much the same range, pretty much the same accuracy, pretty consistent. It's flavor of choice day. If you want the larger magazine capacity and you want it to be reliable, then obviously the conventional AK, very nice, conventional matter, again, of how much money you're going to invest with. For most people, I would simply recommend leaving it in the original stock, leave it with the original 10 round mag, maybe get the 20 rounder if you can find the Chikam military one, that works pretty well. But otherwise, you leave the original stock in place, buy lots of stripper clips, it will still do everything you want it to do. And in fact, older is typically better with the SKS's, remember the earlier rifles, more machining parts, more machining. in performance. They put more money into the weapons at the time. Then they decided to adopt a different policy and lightened up on finishes, changed and shortened the processes wherever they could. They went from a threaded barrel to a pinned barrel. And the pinned barrels worked justice as well. We have many, many, many SKS's that work flawlessly with the pinned barrel. One nice thing, we have a caller. Who do we have? Hey, Michael, jump in there, please. The mailbox, as a matter of fact, you have stuff on the way right now. that The filler tapes are in there on NBC, on medical support, on basic LBE, the newer lights, or I should say the older light stuff. Take that and make a tape out of it. What I'm doing is I'm passing up. You know what? One way or another, this is one of the things we warned everybody about is trying to use treaty to get around our national sovereignty. And it's as good a reason to go to war as any I can think of. And I only hesitate. I only hesitate to say that some people are going, oh, they already plan on killing me. You know what, everybody else better be thinking that way. They are trying to figure out how to disarm and they say, oh you won't take your weapons. But remember what Sarah Brady said, what good would their weapons be if they don't have any ammo? I've got that in three different life feeds. We are going to start playing these on the air again. I've got to pull them out of the archives. I've got them in the other room piled to the ceiling. We are going to have to pull that out because I've got her on Kelly and Company Channel 7. We've got her on a national feed on actually Nightline where she did the same thing. She forgot because she was in the studio. She was thinking only about the people in the room and she blurted that out and then realized, oh, I did it again. So that's exactly where they're headed with this. And again, thanks for bringing it up. Now that was on. Where's the posting? Go ahead and give everybody the information so they can go to it, please. If they go to WorldNet Daily, it's WorldNet Daily. The title is, Are You License to Reload That Ammo? And it's from What's fascinating is, okay, that's Mexico. I hate to say it, but urinate on them. You know, they sent 30 million illegals north and yap about how they just have a right to do that. Well, you know what? We need to dump 30 million weapons on Mexico until we shoot the Federales and the dope dealers dead. That will settle the whole problem. Then the Mexican people can pick a new government. Mexico can be Mexico, the US can be US, and everybody can be happy. All these goofs that are causing all these problems would just be dusted and dumped into the Gulf or sent to the Pacific side. One other thing too, I've heard this twice. Well, we need everybody to kind of ambush them on that one because remember guys, cameras, cameras, cameras. first person that comes to start asking veterans any questions they need to be who are you where you from all still you're on camera you're being you're being seen all over the country also look at what's the list of a portrait there we go get a side shot there we are how about from the back of the head because that's how we'll see when you try to run from us will you go the thing that well the trying to expand you know their logic is people are nice the communist did the same thing in their preparatory operations in these communist are doing it now when they wanted to know where all the weapons were, they wanted to know where all of the people were. Remember that that's one of the groups that the Communists arrested and threw into the gulags as quick as they could. Or, remember, Lenin, what he would do is they would take hostages of the families and demand that the veterans fight for the Communists or they would execute the family members. Since everybody was disarmed, then it wasn't a big deal to throw them into uniform and press them into service. I showed my older kids. In fact, in other words, so wait a minute, well, why not let us retreat, reorganize, pull the ammunition off the bodies and then try to fight again? Oh, no, no, no, you need to charge and fall on the enemy's bayonets. And the thing about this is when you see enemy at the gate, you got to remember, like I've said, they don't do movies about communist Russia. Understand that at the beginning of this, these numbers sounded and they are because Lenin embraced modernism, believed in embracing new technologies. In the beginning of World War II, Germany had a good sized armored force, but Russia had a wide range. I'll bet they never threw anything away. They had antiques and they had mid-grade stuff and they had brand new equipment, but they had close to 26,000 armored vehicles at their disposal. The majority forward deployed against Western Europe. World War II, not after they had to tool up, they were ready tooled up. What happened is because of Stalin's little fit in his purge before the war started, a lot of his competent commanders were dust and molding bodies in graves. Then the commissars, the swine, the pigs, of course who had no clue about how to run operations, they forced all these officers to keep second-guessing themselves and rather than making competent decisions and preserving their ground forces, they lost whole Germany virtually captured tonnage. They measured the amount of captured stores and equipment on such a vast scale that what's not talked about is that many of the allies for the Germans and even the Germans themselves were able to fight whole parts of the war with what was captured from the Russian army. Everybody took their turn in the gulags, many of them dying after they had performed for the Russian people. And this is an example of dictatorship and how it works. And one more thing in that movie, there's a theme where... Well, remember the reason it was, and this is true because people forget, you had what was called the Iron Pact. And before World War II, where Germany, and this is something, this is why I bring up the thing about Russian armor. Russia was the cutting edge, just like Italy was in air resources. Italy had one of the most modern air forces before World War II. They don't like to talk about it, but in reality they were very much a research and they were projecting into unique areas. They went into turbofans before nobody knew what a turbofan was. Nobody likes to give the Italians credit for that. While the Italians did exceptionally well, they were very good engineers. The Russians went into armor because of the environment that they were in. Look at their country. They also wanted to project that high speed mobility into a Western Front war to invade Western Europe. They bragged about watering their horses in the Rhine in 1920. They were planning on doing it much sooner. If Hitler's National Socialist Germany was not going to go east to block them, the Russians had every plan of going west. My understanding was actually Hitler's main concern was Russia. investigate the conflict between Romania and Russia. The Communists trying to infiltrate Romania, Bulgaria and all the problems it had because the Communists were trying to ooze in there. The reason that they sided with the West against the Communists because they always saw what was happening in Ukraine, in Georgia, they knew what Russia was like. And, having seen the victims and having many of them flood into their countries as refugees, running from the murdering that was going on, they had a complete history of what was taking place. So, these countries, of course, looking at Russia, well, of course, remember the Iron Pact was in place, they set up Poland, both sides invaded. Everybody forgets, oh, the Germans invaded Poland. Yeah, well, who came in from the East Side and took half of Poland? Oh, that's right, the Russians. I can't tell people when I talk to them about this, our current situation, they need to really read Alexander Shulzenitsyn's book and they kind of stare at me, who's that? And I explain, he tried to warn America, he just passed away not too long ago, but he tried to warn America. Actually, the Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Shulzenitsyn, Alexander Shulzenitsyn, and also the first circle is another one, and a day in the life of, was it, Ivan Ivan Ilyvian Ilyvian
