Mark Koernke discussed Weapons Wednesday on May 6, 2009, covering firearms training, ammunition sales trends, and weapon system design. He highlighted a new moving-target range system under development and fielded a call from HD in Arizona promoting an intensive four-day militia training course (May 14-17) near Flagstaff covering basic soldier skills, radio communications, land navigation, and AR-15 instruction. Koernke analyzed recent NICS background check data showing 1.2-1.5 million monthly firearm requests from February through March 2009, arguing these figures represented new shooters and multiple purchases per person, and that the gun industry was sustaining the economy. He discussed ammunition availability issues, the strategic advantages of diverse caliber weapons systems, and DIY firearm manufacturing concepts including modular AR-15 uppers and simplified rifle designs using common parts.

For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie 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 for 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. O sons of the republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom, as I awoke he'd vanished in the midst 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 him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, south, central, east, and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on the Micro Effect Network in the morning. We're also on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We are on AM&FM Micro Stations, CB Bay Stations, and Alternate Technologies, both east and west of the Mississippi, along with Southern and Central Alaska. You will find us on... the hallmark network on the eastern seaboard eight colonial states to include uh... expansions into many states such as northern georgia tennessee kentucky and high oh and so the uh... gold project will be in place all three of the major replacement networks for the internet will be up and online or the projects uh... in place uh... as far as uh... the basics go for expanding even as we speak so uh... we can see how much more can get done within the next week to 10 days. I would hope that it's shorter rather than later, but we'll find out what happens here soon enough. Anyway, it is a beautiful Wednesday that is the 6th of May, year 0, slash 2009. And because of that, guys, well, guess what? It's Weapons Wednesday. So, wondering about what's going on. We're going to try and keep you up to date on arms and ammunition right now. But it has been a very busy week already. We got a lot of accomplished, especially yesterday. We're working on a new range site and we're developing some new pieces of equipment for the range operation. One of them that I've, a special design that I'm finishing, I'm doing the mechanics on this, is a live fire on target scenario that actually moving target system realistic scenario for the shooter. The target only pops up and appears while it's moving forward or at least on an angle towards the objective Which is you by the way the shooter only only exposed for five to six seconds and then drops But it's in motion now the target continues to move It drops, but it continues to move forward and then reappears again for another five to six second burst Then drops again. Oh, that's right. It's a bunny target Don Go get that, buddy. The whole idea here is that we have a whole bounding situation with infantry moving against an objective, and you're the objective. This will be part of the next live range qualification. It's going to be part of the next video. I'm going to use a spoiler in a way. I want you to watch for this because it's not that hard a process. I think we're going to do a little video. on how we built this how i came up with this and it's not that complicated but it does require a little carpentry yeah carpentry not metalwork carpentry uh... one of the most important things when you build range components number one is you want to build about a cheap non strategic material uh... the reason well it might get shot man that intended purpose if if yet because shot rather expensive if you may go i made a particularly as highly machined It's good, it's got a 30 caliber hole through it and it's not a very sophisticated piece of debris. If it's wood or if it's certain components that you use that are readily available from junk and debris, when something happens you don't cry, you have a junk box, you go over, you pull off the part you need, walk over, look at what it is that needs to be replaced, snap, pull that off, and then replace the part, there you go, now you're ready to rock and roll again. That's how it should be. Don, by the way, it is what day is it again? Oh, the week, you guys, it is the sixth day of May. This evening, five o'clock, we'll have fighter firearms with us, so I just thought I'd put that one on the... But you know what, you guys, it is Wednesday, and if you listen real close, you will hear one in the chamber. The slide moved to battery. The box of bullets going in the end. You know, the magazine inserted into the magazine well. And, you know, how does that go? One in the tube, the chamber, and the magazine is full. The first nine are doomed. It is Weapons Wednesday, and, you know, that's the... You gotta have, you guys. Uh, it is Weapons Wednesday, May 6th, 2009. Year of our Lord, there's another good attitude. I wanna talk about that. The first nine are doomed. Because you hear me say that every now and then, and, you know, Mark, that isn't really... That might not be politically correct. But you know what? It's been said before that politics... and war, you know, the mix there. War is an extension of politics. So with that in mind, you know, I don't have a problem doing those Wednesday and saying, hey, the first nine of the enemies of my country are, and I've got more splits that go in the little hole in the end of the gun here. I've got more magazines for the well if you want to work close quarters. And I've got some things that can make you keep your head down there at 12, 14, 1600 yards at the very least. And that has to be the attitude you have, you know? Ah, you guys remember Mark here comes a classic, and I think both of them are dead now. Remember Rowan and Martin's laugh-in? Here's a good laugh. Remember they always used to talk about the Funk and Wagnalls? I enjoy saying that. The Funk and Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary, although they didn't add the three words. The Funk and Wagnalls Dictionary. I like to go over to the Webster Dictionary, and you can get Webster dictionaries that are like a quarter inch thick, and Webster dictionaries that are like two and a half inches thick. So it depends on where you go. But this book weighs a half pounds, Mark. I believe it's got most of the words from the English language. A whole bunch of Latin and a whole bunch of other root words in there. So you know what I mean about that. But let's go over here because in the R's you have resol, you have resoluble, which is capable of being resolved or solvable. And then you have a term and old and unflinching in Latin. and it says C Resolve. And we go back over here, you know, we resolve or to determine in parentheses to do something, decide or to determine to do something, you know, when you read about resolute, determined, consistent and steady. Second definition, bold, unflinching. Let's go back in history a little bit, Mark. You know, we've heard, you know, you can reference the suffix resolves or the other Fairfax resolutions or even come into modern times. 10 years. You know, it's the here is is mindset and it's the line in the sand speak only it's it's a line in concrete because see you know what you can erase a line in the sand you can just scratch scratch I'll give just a little bit now I'll move that line back a half an inch scratch scratch I'll move that line back oh this time they want a yard so they I'll give them that but when you resolve when you become resolute and determine the example you know you can and you can talk with words and that's what I'm trying to do now. I'm trying to, you know, Mark, years ago, guys up much like I call you guys up on a show, I call it an hour, you know, eventually that happened. That morphed over into my sitting on a seat with the intelligence report. But you know, one of the phrases that would open my job, fighting, ability, determination, it's my job. Weapons Wednesday all over and up and down and painted not a white Washington. One of the most important things with attitude here especially is that guys You've got the weapons, you've got to know how to use them. You have to have the determination to keep yourself alive in the process. That requires training, familiarization, and again, discipline. Probably we have either questions or comments here because I hear the bells. The bells. Oh, for the love of God, monstrosaur. For the love of God, we will answer the phone. Who do we have there? Jump in there, please. Good morning from Arizona. Good morning. This is HD. Hey, what's going on down there? It is one week from today. Arizona Meetup takes place near Flagstaff. I want to remind everyone that this will be possibly the last opportunity. Everyone needs to look at every training opportunity as the possible last one, because it's coming, folks. We still have the opportunity to participate, so give out all the information so everybody knows how to get hold of you guys down there, please. For anyone who wants to participate, please go to alphiomegetraining.com. In the schedules of courses, there will be options on how to get there. The dates are 14th of May through the 17th of May. This will be four days of intensive training. The first day, some training in the morning for members of my crew, anyone else who wishes to participate, please contact me. Basic soldier skills that morning. This is for people who show up with us as part of the advance party. We will be there at 2 p.m. on the 13th. We'll be setting up chaos infections. We will be waiting while we wait for Althene to get his classes ready. No time will be wasted if you have to set up a kit that morning. We understand. But if you want to participate in additional training with us, teaching things like morning's training, this is just to get everybody's blood pumping. But this will be good training. This will be based on the SMCTs published by the U.S. Army. is that one of the reasons for inspection is because even though you're doing a certain amount of you know you're working on your personal gear, an extra eye, a second person checking everything out is going to catch something you might be complacent about because you've done it through repetition and it may need to be changed. So that's critical for everybody that's involved in a team effort. The individual who is the team leader or as the instructor, both with his instructors, which again it sometimes people ever think about this the instructors have to organize at some point guys and shouldn't be embarrassed about it because it's got to happen but the point is that even the instructors need to be inspected they need to be squared away i used to be made or something that simply was missed that looks like it needs to be fixed or needs to be repaired or maybe missing uh... that's the time when it's done in the inspection not when you're out in the middle of bf e and you reach for that goody and you find out, oh, that mag pouch is empty. Hey, wait a minute, where'd that canteen go? Oh, I left it on the workbench. Hey, what about my fill in the blank? So that's the purpose behind inspections is to actually follow through and make sure that everybody's at least at what's considered to be unit standard or unit minimal standard for the operation. You can carry more, but you will maintain at the very least that everybody at the same level of performance when you're in the field. So this is going to be an altitude, so let's remind everybody about that too, correct? Yes sir, about 8,000 feet and at that elevation you can become dehydrated rather quickly. So one of the reasons we're doing inspections is to make sure everybody has water. Don't trust just the fancy sport drinks. Drink at least as much water as you do at the sport drinks. Plan on at least a gallon per person per day just for drinking. So with that in mind, it's a good idea, and this is true of any operations. Carrying in extra water is a plus plus. Individual smaller containers or larger water jugs, whatever you're going to use will be fine. I hear the music. We're going to go to break. You stay right where you are. HD will be back in about three minutes here. Micro effects in the morning. Grab that cup of coffee. Stay awake. You have to go through work. We'll be right back on the micro effects. K.T.

We have HD from Arizona telling us about the next training session coming up. I yield the floor to you, sir. Well, thank you, Don. Some of the tasks we will be teaching just the first morning, voice communications. enter the radio net, send a message, leave the radio net and use the proper call sign, the call sign sequence, the probe, the netical alphabet. Determine your pace count in the field. Setting up a pace count course, arm signals, the temporary fighting position, the three movement techniques and the three movement formations that are basic to all infantry units. And the references that we will use if anybody wants to do a little bit of self-study ahead of time are SMCTs, the STP21-1, the FM7-8, a couple of documents that we've created ourselves. All of these documents are available online at ArizonaMilitia.com. I say again, ArizonaMilitia.com. If you go to that home page and click on training manuals, all these manuals and all these references are up there for everyone to download and to learn a little bit of you online. Those are the movement techniques. These are the hand and arm signals. These basic soldier skills are critical and anyone who wants a chance to do this before the formal training starts, I shouldn't say formal training, but that first one who is short of gear, one of our team members has extra gear offering it for sport sheep. If you need, for instance, an LBE, we can set you up with a complete LBE right there on site.

Four days of intensive training is intended to train the trainers. Need these guys to show these skills and go back home with them and take the materials that are printed out and handed out and start training their own units back home. With that in mind, I remind everybody to bring pocket notebook with pen and pencil because you will be taking notes, there will be a test in the field. Bring a three ring binder. We can afford to print out a lot of these materials, we can't afford to hand out a three ring binder to everyone who shows up. So bring a three ring binder if you can run down to the dollar store, a 47 series, AK-47 family of weapons system. Demonstrating land navigation, exercises and classroom work. For shock, how to do IV therapy and fluid replacement. How to Use your natural night vision for dark adaptations. This is of different types of LBE, LBV, and other carrying systems.

Remember gold never lies. that training and if you have to extend yourself you know this is one of the things we see thousands of foreigners come here under the guise of training now you know we used to see like a British sergeant or an sergeant from India and maybe a colonel come in corporals underneath and they would receive training and go back and train their group doing you know that's kind of bold you know I want to go back to that Mark I know I'm being a little bit here but I want to go back to that because you know part of that resolve and I think one of the words was And out of the Funkin', you look over here to bold, and you guys are gonna be astounded, because I was when I first read it. You know, you think you know the definition of bold. Funkin' waggles and bold. B-O-L-D. Having courage. Everybody knows that. You know, that's pretty bold, having courage and fearless. The second, staring, the plan. That's a pretty good definition of bold. Zooming, unduly, brazen, or foreword. Eh, you can understand that. The fourth one is, this is in concept or expression. That's a pretty good definition of bold. Unconventional, underline that, unconventional. Funkin' Wagnalls is standing out prominently. That's a pretty good definition. The seventh sin and error, yee-haw, to venture. I was astounded when I read that, Mark. You've heard it as of like, be bold. You've heard it for years on this hour in many and varied forms, and even directly in those words, liberty venture. Mark, I yield the floor to you. That's pretty Funkin' Wagnalls, to take the liberty venture. ever I heard one. Anyway, that's one of the most exciting things about this is we know that many, many people have embraced the idea that we've got a problem in this country and our army goes accordingly and it's in rated in the tens of millions and tens and tens of millions. How do we know? Well, even if all we do is take the numbers that we're seeing here, let's say that a lot of people who are experienced in the firearms right now, guys, buy their weapons in many different ways. They look for, you know, they have friends or they look at, you know, for sales and they look at you know they go to gun shows they find stuff that you know second hand they find something that fits the niche because they're collecting or they're building up their match other weapon systems or when you go out and you see all these new sales numbers that are taking place that a lot of these people are brand new shooters I know that's what's happening with a lot of you people listening are brand new shooters some people that are in the chat room have never you know didn't fire a weapon or have not had a weapon until this last couple of years last one two or maybe even three years and the reason is because there's there's no matter how they look at it and get to the subconscious issue again with a c what's going on the mind is registered the threat and understand that we're going to have to deal with this threat and logic is that no matter what like said uh... why do you carry a forty five down because kind of hard to carry a cop on your back exactly Okay, plus the donut cost is rather expensive too. I mean the donut fees by themselves will just kill you. But anyway, and don't forget coffee. Gotta throw in some good, you know, malak in the world, Ethiopian toenail blend. But in this case, the interesting thing is the numbers. Now, I've got the numbers done for, we had November through January. Here are the numbers for February. Now we know that they continue to creep up. from january where they had the drop in the reason of availability everybody in the industry admit that now availability guys it's not that people didn't want the weapons don it's that they couldn't could acquire them now you weren't there they just weren't available in the store you know in short supply uh... anyway one million two hundred and fifty nine thousand plus new requests february of two thousand and nine 1,345,000 new requests, authorizations through the communist InstaCheck system for March. We don't have April's numbers yet, even though April just ended. In fact, look at this, guys. We're already in the first week of May. And again, the point here is that these are just a request for, remember, everybody has a gun shop. Anybody who's in the industry knows, I asked everybody the same question, well do you think that every time you get a request, the person's only buying one weapon? And every person that I talk to chuckles, every one of them, I mean I don't care where they are in the country, they laugh because they know that pretty much every purchase, especially in these last year, the last 12 months, has been multiple purchases. So, when I say 1.34, you know, 1,345,000 plus weapons for March, that's the lowest possible number you can go, but it's in reality double or triple that just with the approved weapons. That's what's actually, to be quite honest, you want to know what's keeping the economy afloat? The gun industry. The gun industry. It's going guns. Right now that's it because it sure as hell isn't the automotive industry or the cars. It sure as hell isn't high definition televisions. And it sure as hell is there's nothing else you can pick out. It ain't dishwashers and refrigerators right now guys. It's not the little converter boxes because they aren't selling. That's right. They ain't going nowhere. Ain't nobody cared about that. So with that being the case, You have to look at the fact that there's got to be something else going on here. Well, it's obvious. I mean, the numbers are there and the bad guys know it too. But here's the thing. In many cases, that 1,345,000 count are in most cases new individuals to the shooting world, you know, to at least, you know, buying more weapons or at least an additional weapon. They may have already picked up a shotgun at one time, but they've decided to arm better. Now there's a good number you can equate over here if you look back in the records you guys people are buying guns now Like they used to buy new GM cars. Yeah, GM used to sell a million cars a month more than that Thank you, Mr. In the cute cool part about it is as again everybody laughed breath The biggest problem is ammunition is not as readily available But if we sold every month about 1.4 to 1.0 1.2 to one point five there we go one point two one point five million weapons every month six months almost now actually will be six months will find what happens here in a minute uh... with april once everything said and done the i think everybody that bought a bob we've got an approval and we know what's bigger than this you see the numbers i'm giving her grossly under estimated but i'm doing that intentionally because even grossly underestimated the numbers swap the enemy everybody went out and bought a rifle, do you think they bought a case of ammo? And everybody at the gun, at the retail end or firearms retail end or even distributor end laughs because they said, oh no, it's a lot more than that. Okay, well, if everybody bought just one 1,000 round case of ammunition, say, for the month of March, right? That means that one okay one thousand rounds guys that means just you know, what do you do you multiply here? You take one million three hundred and forty five thousand and and multiply it by what one thousand That means that just for the months of month of March one billion three hundred and forty five million Rounds of ammunition were sold for one month one billion three hundred forty five well i'm sorry what we have three hundred forty five million plus rounds and everybody laughs in the industry because they know it was more than that so you look at the sustained rate of purchase here look at what we're what we're talking about here one point five one point five one point two one point two actually one point three uh... and then one point three again and pro and again the argument is that this last month because old all battle finally showed his colors in april Okay, finally everybody I mean they can try to lie all they want and even all little comments about oh he's not after the guns well everybody knows about the treaty issue now and Because of that guess what you what do you think sales are about 1.5 million? I figure it's about there, and that's just a low-end request I would guarantee it's about 1.48 to say 1.5 is probably where it'll be it could be even higher mark maybe way off I mean it could be up you know 1.6 1.7 and again, that's purely a available resources not that you will don't want to buy something it simply that you can't yet yet okay that's the issue now comes back to something else we've talked about guys if you are you know think i got a really care about it and they are and you can get them let me tell you the cowboy gun the standard though the winchester model ninety four or the Marlin in 30-30 are fine rifles. There's nothing wrong with them. They have the same knockdown power. They have the same performance and range. They're American made obviously and 30-30 ammunition is available out there. Okay. And if it'll knock a four-legged Bambi down, they can run a whole hell of a lot faster than you ever will. Well, I guess it depends on how motivated you are. well if they can get the cannot bambi down the typically much more highly motivated and willing to stay alive or keep itself alive i'd say for a personal defense it'll work just fine so don't throw out or think about getting rid of those older weapons because i hate to tell you when you run out of ammunition one category you may at least still have a weapon where you that you can acquire amo for in another And that's critical to overall combat operations. One of the advantages, some people are saying, I got this debate years ago with a major. And he's talking about, well, all the calibers and all the different weapons that are out there, it would be very hard for the, you know, it would be difficult for them to fight a strategic war. And my argument was, well, we're not fighting a strategic war. We're fighting a war to defend the United States. We're inside the continental, you know, the United States if we had to use these weapons. and the advantage would be the diverse calibers and he would kind of quiet for a minute and my point is if any given time you already see this look what the there's a there's a standard plan to everything the bad guys have been doing get you committed to a certain caliber convince everybody to buy lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of a certain weapon and then because you're all on the same ammo which means you're all consuming the same ammunition at the same time every time you pull the triggers pray and pray becomes the dominant issue uh... everybody likes to walk mimic hollywood because the boom boom sounds good well guess what all of a sudden you're all out of ammo at the same time all you have and you see one of the things is all we have to do think about this cut off one caliber and the dominant caliber is out of business but what happens if you diversified and you have the ability to it longs you don't dispose of your existing inventories a weapon in the field, putting a bullet in the bad guy means that you're harvesting more material if everything goes well, especially if you take on small, select and take on small formations. That's your job. Again, you pick the battle. You don't let your enemy do that. You make it his life virtually untenable. The battlefield situation for the bad guys should be such that they don't know which direction to move in because nothing is... That's what they'd like to make everybody think from the other direction, but they try to do it with a feudal resist. You'll be absorbed boring stuff. And in reality, in unconventional or para-conventional combat operations, guys, that is the niche of that particular type of soldier. The unconventional war, his job or her job, is to, but the bad guys can't be sure when the fight is going to be taken to them. And it can be anywhere, anytime, any place. One of the definitions of bold, unconventional. That's right. So, we're looking, guys, at a situation here where your diverse calibers are actually an advantage while you may not have any 7.62x39 to work with. Amazingly enough, you may have, if all goes well, a 30x30, a 30x36, a 30x36, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, a 30x30, But it's a surplus cartridge. 8mm was out there in mass for 50 years. It's a surplus cartridge. There's still 8mm in the inventory and there will be for a little bit longer, but most of what's going to be used from, say, progressively as we see usage, most of what's going to be in the inventory is going to be new production and it will be more expensive. The same will be true with other surplus calibers as they dwindle as you consume. Once you start pulling the trigger, that old inventory box goes down. So replacement will be new production costing more and obviously will be fresh, but will also perhaps have different characteristics from the original ammunition you're using. You're going to have to take these things into consideration. 7.62x25, good cartridge, easy to manufacture. One of the reasons I don't have a problem with people buying Tokarev pistols is because the 223 cartridge is going to be around for a long time. Oh yes. And because of that we can always manufacture from component, you know crushed 223 cases that are you know damaged in the throat, we can cut those down and manufacture Tokarev rounds. So I don't have a problem with that. We aren't out of ammunition for that even if they cut off the surplus ammo. Well now we go over and make bring out that work manufacturing market. don't we have in the library can we offer the video that runs up the machine work for nine millimeter and another bigger we do have yes we do have a series a couple of uh... pieces on that i'm gonna have to dog all but i was trying to think where that is right now we haven't done that a while you're right what we need to do is actually bring that back up and online will probably have to We'll do a spot piece on it tomorrow. I don't have it on my fingertips right now. Forgive me. But some of the things that are offered in here, you guys, as far as when you acquire this video, all you have to do is look at different options and have the tools. We've tried to reinforce this for the years about having tools. And in this instance, when you talk about tools and guns, you can talk about things like chamber reamers. You know that 7.62, a 39, and 7.62. by 54. That came in inside diameter of the bearing. Yes it is. So with that in mind you guys if you're building by 39 and you look at well gee look at here's here's a couple deuce and a half's full of 54 and you have the chamber reamer for 54 guess what you do. In particular if you are working in a gun that you are building. I know I'm not standing here stupid. Well gee I know that One was 39 and one was... This is again, there's a whole different magazine there. I know that. But you're building! And if you're building, you build the mags too. Look at that basic for that gun. And it basically comes up like a Sten gun, doesn't it Mark? If I remember rightly. Yep, basic concept is again, design minimal materials, simple production, and designed to crank out the weapons that you need. And I think that's the other half of what... Again, I guess I'll give everybody a little warning. cool stuff going on with that mindset in place uh... think about producing uppers that can be dropped onto an air fifteen much like uh... what our friend that uh... spider firearms is done you know what's by the uh... fair fit but think about it in terms of a of a single shot bolt action uh... rifle upper receiver that would drop on an air fifteen made with tubular stock forty one forty chromoly steel or whatever and utilizing another barrel in 5.45 as a single shot placement upper receiver. Very simple to make people, so simple anybody with a drill press in their garage could do it. And what you would have, and a rack tail file and a few other tools, and what you have is a placement upper receiver, you know, in other words, a rifle that you could use cheap ammunition 5.45 by 39. you could drop it into the chamber you already have a preset scope mount using a picatinny system and iron sites and i will stress this if you build anything always include insights that military standard uh... our government's gone away from that to a degree with certain components because they tried to push optics uh... that's going to be a big mistake in the long run because the optics are always going to show up things are going to busted and in a real uh... shall we say folded environment A lot of that stuff becomes real cumbersome and a disadvantage real quick. The design concept here, tubular receiver, simple bolt design, 545 chambering, so preset so they can take a scope, scope can be mounted. Think about this, a placement rifle you could take to the range and you can practice with your AR-15 and you're only talking about one third or one fourth the cost of pulling the trigger on a .223. Also, remember, when that 545 ammo is available, with replacement shooting, it's a nice little varmint slash anti-personnel gun, and you're using the AR-15 as your base platform. Most important, nothing needs to be done. It's just like using the standard AR. All you do is pop the pins, pull off your standard AR-15 upper receiver, drop on the bolt receiver, pin pin, click, load, chunk, and away you go. simple we could do this people all of these simple designs just like you're talking about down remember don't think all for fancy lot of machining cares keep it simple stupid of the designs there's a rifle system i've mentioned many times down and thank you bring this up is called the pause p a w s look it up during the cold war the idea was to look at a design that would take as many standard military parts for the air fifteen is possible or beat a or ten or air fifteen and come up with a rifle that would be all works in a drawer made from standard tubular you know square tubular stock uh... take a standard air fifteen mag and they came up with a rifle that cost one third to one quarter the cost of the air fifteen needles to say down we didn't adopted effect that i think we could imagine why it had something like that you know what i mean but at wartime production when you're defending the country are protecting the nation Think in that term when you're looking at possibilities and solutions. Another thing, the bullpup design made by Bushmaster. Take a look at how that rifle was put together, guys. All that was was aluminum tubular stock. Look at the concept. It was a sound idea. It just simply wasn't promoted to the extent that it could have been, and it could be applied to other designs. More conventional than the bullpup, if need be. Works in a drawer. Take something and make it function. Convenient and simple. Key to victory guys. You know, every aspect. But still using common parts. Listing weapons systems. Example, magazines. Magazines are, you know, horn item guys, but they make the weapon work. Why reinvent the wheel? Use what the other guys are already making. Adapt it to your design. Point to be made here if you're a machine shop that's not doing a whole lot. and you got a break or two sitting over there in the corner it might be a four foot break might be a 20 foot break but you know what breaks are for when you build bending metal? Just somebody on there starts building them boxes for magazines. That's right. Hey we're at the top of the hour just about. I'll tell you what real quick guys remember to go to the micro effect we have a donation page there Joe can use the help now we really do need to see that happen so go to the micro effect the micro effect page And there is an open screen right there. Take a look at it. Come up with a solution. Pitch in a little bit, guys. Everything makes a difference. 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, folks. Day and night. Ooh-rah. Fix Van Ness, Kicky Minaris. Send them down the road over there to that fence and throw them to the Chihuahua. Well, price up next and we'll be back tomorrow at the same time. Thank you, Don. God bless you. God bless America.
