So to keep us safe, Homeland Security released a report called, The Radical Right-Wing Extremists Are Coming To Kill You, or something like that. While it provides no actual evidence of domestic right-wing terror, believe me, I know terrorists when I see one. Why, some of my best friends are.

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 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 Satan's number You've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'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 his parents trampled each God-given right. We only watch him 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? Is this still the land of the free? Your training and you will come back. Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke, and a better night, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, central, west, southeast, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and ultra net technologies, both east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network on the Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc to the Gulf of Mexico headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma. Ooh, a big chunk of Nebraska, the third of Wyoming, then over to Iowa slash Iowa, and then across the Mississippi to the Golden Spike Project along the whole of the Blue Ridge. That's right. And again, a quick reminder for our friends there, there will not, not, not be any kind of meeting for the General Assembly for the restaurant crew, but there will be an administrative meeting for those individuals who are already designated. So keep that in mind. That's where we're going, kids. Anyway, DK, what's the date today, sir? It is 3 September, 2010. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the Intelligence Report, and that makes this Quartermaster's Corner. And as we know Quartermaster keeps the army running, keeps the militia in motion guys. Without Quartermaster, well, it just catch as catch can. But with a little bit of organization in common sense and using the gray matter. We're able to maintain the flow of everything from A to B. But mostly bullets, beans, Bibles, backpacks, you name it, whatever it is that starts with a B, we don't get it there one way or another. But to do that, we have to have the supply system in place in advance. We already have to have an understanding of what needs to be there when the time comes. So, hopefully we've been giving you ideas. We don't just look at the idea of buying it off the shelf or looking at manufacturing or growing what you need in terms of food or in terms of components, equipment, web gear, equipment to support the weapon systems, etc., etc., and to include reloading and many, many other items having to do with the refined end of keeping our weapon systems up and online. BK, what have you got for us? By the way, it's cleared up completely outside and it is cool. We've had hot, hot weather here. We got the first taste of a real September all of a sudden. Temperature is dropping. Yeah, finally it cooled down here too. It's green outside. I wouldn't mind if we're like this nine months out of the year. The balance period, exactly. Well, it's clear all of a sudden. We had cloudy. Looked like we were going to get rain down all day. That's completely disappeared from the horizon. There's nowhere to be found. We are decent here in Michigan. Sounds like you guys in that neck of the woods are looking pretty good too. What have we got for tonight? Well, we have clear skies all day. Happy news. Before we get going, I'd like to remind everybody that PBN runs on a shoe string. and anything that we can do to keep them operating is a desirable thing. Absolutely not a penny is wasted at their end, but they are always right on the margin of sucking vacuum. On the LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com website, there is a button on the left-hand side that says donate, and that leads to a page that has a couple of PayPal buttons. These are my favorite methods of donating because they take all the stress and hair pulling out of the process. There is a button there which will allow you to set up a $1 a month transmission that goes out automatically on the one month anniversary of the day you push it. And likewise there is another button that does the same thing for $5. I find it much less stressful. to simply push that button and let the five dollars blip out without my attention and to sit around each month and say, well gee, can I spare a little bit? What's going on? Yes. Say good. All right. If your budget can afford one of the $10 or $20 a month, then that's great too. The other thing you can do is you can mix and match. So if you do fine calculations and decide that your budget can handle $7 per month, then you can hit the $5 key and the $1 key and the $1 key and Those will each operate and seven dollars will go out so you can be creative you can do any combination that you like and every penny will be gratefully appreciated at PBN. I promise that. I don't make very many promises but I promise you that one. Okay, there is another general comment that I would like to mention to people, and that is that a holiday is coming up, Labor Day is coming up. An awful lot of people will be having barbecues and parties and all that kind of good stuff. This week will be an unusually rich hunting season if you are one of these people who makes the rounds once in a while and checks the recycle bins for things like containers. My favorite general purpose container for dry goods beans, rice, wheat, things like that, is the 2 liter pop bottle. Every once in a while I get lucky and I score a 3 liter, but usually it's 2 liters. They work fine too. They are nearly airtight. There is some leakage through the plastic at a very low level, which is why we like to use oxygen absorbers for things that ought to be oxygen reduced. But they are the lightweight, cheap, very versatile container that I really, really like for bulk storage of things. Other containers actually cost some money and that adds up. If you can recycle, grab a hold of 2 liter pop bottles and their caps. And remember the caps are common with other sizes. You know, 1 liter, 20 ounces, etc. All use the same cap. So if you come up shy on caps, then you can steal caps from the other sizes even if you don't use those. But this week will be particularly happy hunting because there will be parties and a lot of those parties will have a cooler full of these two liter bottles. So if you don't often go hunting through the bins, but sometimes you do, make sure you do it this week. This is a particularly juicy week to go hunting. Questions or comments? Well, especially with this season right now, yes, start especially zeroing in on institutions and sites where all over and change. Or there's a lot of incoming shift population wise because you're going to see a lot of other stuff where, oh, I don't need this. Yes, I do need that. Or maybe there's a whole pile of this and we don't want to use this. We're going to use the new boxes, that kind of thing. You never know what you're going to run into. So there's spring cleaning season and there's fall moving season. Yes, and they're worried about, oh my goodness, the closet's got stuff in it. Of course, what they don't know is they needed that stuff for the winter, but oh well. We're not going to say a word. I learned that a long time ago. I'm not even going to say anything anymore. It's like, you know what, you spend the other $40,000 replacing what you got rid of. I don't have a problem with that. That's attitude in general. I stopped trying to correct the socialists a long time ago because they deserve to sink with their decisions. So, in that respect, there's a whole lot of resources out there. We just got to be creative and just pay attention. You never know what you'll find. Like generators, got one for free. Let's see, air compressor, got one for free. What else did we get? Oh boy, I can't even say on the air what we found boxes and boxes of. But let's just say there were boxes and boxes of it. Like I've told you to watch guys along the road. They were boxes and boxes in bags, but they were boxes and boxes and they had lots of little things in them. Somebody just put them to the side of the road. Yep. Really happened. I'm sure they're really juicy stuff like that. Yeah, this is like, oh well, this is hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, to be quite honest. So it happens, guys. I'm telling you. With all these foreclosures and stuff, it's weird. The companies that are doing the push outs where they're tossing everything they don't other than maybe extreme I would think that maybe like precious metals gems jewelry cash they probably if they find it they keep it but everything else just out to the door out to the out to the door the sidewalk out to this house there's duty to be as destructive as possible so you know anything of value should go off to the dumpster It's interesting too that the institution thing is because of school change out and things like that. Guys, they'll decide that they need a whole different set of speakers. They have last year speakers that you and I paid for tax dollars and they'll walk them right out to the curb because they're not the newest speakers that they have in the latest ads that are part of the promotional for the company that's paying them under the table to do their cable feed or whatever. You know what I mean? So there's another direction. You never know what you're going to find. And keep an eye on it and act accordingly. Better to have a lot of something and have to pile it up than later on to not have it when you need it or when you may need to support somebody else. It's kind of like we mentioned this thing with Sergeant Dyer. The ongoing court case with the Oathkeeper that's out there. You did a little report on that this last couple hours. and I will point out that if everybody had a little extra stuff hanging on, all they need to do is box stuff and send it, no extra expenses, little extra money, some extra food, you know, people dropping off food, that person's covered. That's how we need to be thinking. You need to be thinking about helping and supporting, but if you can do it out of the enemy's pocket and we finance it and just a little bit of shipping or just a little bit of gasoline to drive it to where it needs to be, takes care of it, wow, there you go, guys. That's the best way to beat the enemy down and do it en masse, from many angles at once. Anyway, go ahead and be calm. I'm sorry. Please. Okay. There are some offers that I had planned to get to last week and didn't quite make it. And in the middle of the week I thought, oh man, I'm never going to be able to do these again because something interrupted the process. We heard in the middle of the week that a warehouse blew up at Widner's. and therefore they were all wiped out. Now I called them today and talked to them and said, what's the story on this? And they said, well, we can't tell you. Well, but did you guys blow up? No, no, that wasn't us. That had nothing to do with us. Okay, what happened? We can't tell you. Okay, well, what does everybody know down there? I mean, you know, in the local area, everybody knows what happened and I'm not in the local area. Why don't you just tell me what the evening news said? Well, they got it wrong too. Okay, so I never did figure out exactly what blew up, but it was not the Widners that we all know as a vendor. And therefore, they do have some specials that are running right now. They are offering Yugoslav 7.62x39 at $200 for a 1,260 round wooden crate. 7.62x39, $200 for a 12.60 round wooden crate. Now this is the whole wooden crate with the inner tin box. So it's, you know, entire cases only at this price. That's $200 for one spam can. That's $200 for 1260 rounds inside the metal box, which is in turn inside the wooden crate. That is Widdeners.com. They have some other items that I'll mention, but that's the first one up. Comments? Any time we're looking at quantity prices, guys, try to take advantage of it, especially with the sales that are going on right now. There aren't very many that are really, I mean, they're sales by today's standards, but you know, high by the old price standard. That's the thing that people have to get over. We are seeing a few little leaked things that show up, but as quick as they show up, they're scarfed up by the massive number of people that are going after it. So if you're thinking about this, kind of rally the resources together and go after it ASAP, because otherwise you could miss out. Besides, they could have blown up and we don't know. Remember, that's not $200 for a Spam can. That's $200 for a case of this stuff. That is not to be sneezed at. If you have an investment in X39, if you have AKS, SKS, whatever, that is worth moving on. They have another offering. They are offering some surplus German 308. Now this stuff is non-corrosive. It is brass and it is burdan. This is non-corrosive brass and it is Berdan Prime. This is German surplus, 7.62x51, 200 round battle pack for $80. So that's 40 cents a round. That is a good price by 308 standards, but bear in mind that while this is brass case and it is non-corrosive, it is Berdan Prime. So just be aware. It can be reloaded but it takes a little effort to do that. You have to work on it a little bit. Prioritize this as actual battle packs. Use this in the areas under the circumstances when you figure it's probably not going to be practical to go back and place up the brass or at least not right away. Go ahead. Well, is this Hergenberg? Did it say what breed of ammunition is it? Whose manufacturer? It says it's DAG. D-A-G. Does that mean anything to you? Okay. Well, they're one of the standard contractors, so that's not a big deal there. They actually did a lot of mags too at one time, at least under that company, that, though, the an acronym. D-A-G. Deutsche Armament, something or other. Probably gets cell shaft. Yeah, some try to think we'll see it what the answer they did and I think I'm pretty sure DAG did mags It's probably their government kind of these some government contract personal is what it is I know I've got the specs on it. The big thing is that if it's in battle packs, that's awfully darn convenience already got another layer of protection If you're gonna take it out of any cans unless it's already if it's already an ammo can I just leave it there if it's in a can for long-term storage, you're gonna cash it I would leave it there but make sure you got a way to get it open Any standard cans otherwise, hey perfect combination guys and for a 308 battle pack you know people remember those fit nicely into an Alice pack pocket if you haven't noticed and you can cinch your Alice packs remember you can cinch the cover strap so if you want to pack it in and quiet it down a little bit and also arm rate is whatever clothing or whatever food you got around it will protect it from being bounced or beat on too much, of course. So it shouldn't bother your food either because your MRE pouches are designed to take so much abuse. But just a consideration, when you're balancing the loadout, either center it, put it in the middle pouch if you're using the medium. If you got two, one left, one right. That way your weight is distributed, still keeps it fairly low to the body mass. And it's accessible because it's in an outer pouch station when the time comes. The other option, It depends on how heavily your pack is configured. If it's an allos pack and it's heavily packed and you've got the frame, go to the inner pocket, which is also known as the radio pocket, and stuff it in the blister bags in there. Again, convenient place, close to the body, it's not going to create a centrifugal wobble when you're trying to turn or whatever. It keeps most of the weight towards the center, middle of the frame, of the body itself, which is where you want to be your person. Anyway, otherwise good ammunition should be. I can't think of anything that we've heard that sounds like it's a problem with this stuff. What was your head stamp on that? I'm not sure if it shows that. Let me see if I've got a close up on it. Could be 78, 79 right around there, maybe 82, 83. Looks like it might be 83. Yeah, let's go. They show an example head stamp. and the stamping on it, as usual, the Germans just rattle on and on on their head stamp. It says DAG 83 Charlie 033-0 so it's probably 83 1983. Again, good load. It's not going to go bad. Back then they weren't fiddle farting with trying to deactivate rounds or any nonsense like that. So you can throw that BS out the window. These are going to be Cold War era pieces of equipment and they're going to work. We were planning on shooting Russians or checks or polls of this ammunition, the Germans were, and that means they didn't want it to malfunction, guys. So it should be working just fine. Yeah, the plan on this was that you would be going through mass quantities of this stuff in a hurry as the Russians and their satellite states came pouring over the border. Look, it's one of me and 55 of them. I better start shooting now. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Well, and not only that, 60 rounds, you know. I was going to say, this should still work fine with the FN FAL, HK, 91 slash G3. It was designed to also operate any of the belt-fed guns. It will work, it should work just fine in the M14 as, remember, those were NATO standard rounds. So if you get an M14, unless there's something strange we need to know about, I haven't heard anything different, this should be serviceable ammunition. Go ahead. Now, Winders has another pair of related offers. They are offering brand new Never Loaded WC 867 and 872 powders. Now, these are essentially equivalent powders. They are military powders, so you need to work up your load for every batch. But this is large slow powder. It is designed for the heavy belted magnums on the low end and mainly it is intended for 50 BMG. They are offering this stuff at $49 for an 8 pound jug, which is an excellent price for this stuff. The only other outfit that I know of that offers this sort of price is patsreloading.com and a lot of those $49 for 8 pounds. are pull downs, meaning it's powder that sat inside ammunition for 20 years, which doesn't mean it's bad, but does mean that it's possibly been subjected to variable storage conditions and so on. This is brand new never loaded powder. There are two varieties. They say they are basically the same reloading data. WC 867. So if you have preference one way or the other you can choose what you want. They can ship up to six jugs of this under a single hazmat. The threshold is 50 pounds so six of those is 48 pounds. That fits in a box with one hazmat sticker and one hazmat fee. So once again they are offering both of these varieties of hazmat. at 8 pounds for $49 and that is a very attractive price. Go ahead. Excellent. Well again there's nobody who said US manufactured anything that's where it's virgin. The other thing is check your specs on length, check your sizing specifications and after that lock those nuts and bolts in place, lock in the screws and go to town. That's all there is to it. Okay, our friends at JG Sales have announced that they now have another batch of Nagant revolvers. This is the 7.62 Nagant and it's a six shooter I believe, right? And $100 each. So if you need a revolver and that's an acceptable choice, now bear in mind that the ammunition is a little bit of an oddball, but it can be found. I'm not sure if there's an easy ammunition conversion for that, whether another cartridge can be formed down to accommodate. But at $100 apiece, that is a serviceable arm, and they appear to be back in stock with these guys. Go ahead. Now, was it, which company again? This is JG Sales. Okay, JG Sales at about $100 apiece. Right. Our guns also have them, at least they say they do on the website, but they've been out a couple times. Our guns have both the ammunition they have in the ham tins. They got revolver ammo. They also have the regular commercial load that everybody's familiar with, 50 rounds per box. So our guns is another direction, but on J&G sales, we know they've been pretty consistent. Again, not a surprise, they're more expensive. Don't be amazed by that people, you all know that's just how the world works. Things are not getting cheaper. That's still a very affordable price and makes it the least expensive modern or semi-modern weapon available in a handgun. Does everybody understand that? I mean, if you look around, do some shopping right now, you'll see what I'm talking about here. The one thing you want to look at is that the Nagat revolvers built like a brick dog house, a standard firearm, most affordable for ammunition, at least no more expensive than any other cartridge right now for the price of the ammo. So the consideration is how much do you want to put on the shelf and how much do you have to spend. So good weapon, you may already have some of these in inventory. If you can pick up more, I would do it. uh... gingy sales all the contact info go get out a couple more times if you could be a gmail dot com uh... or or familiar with them gg sales dot com i don't have their phone number off hand but uh... there there well understood so the gg sales and they have uh... the uh... eighty nine nineteen eighty that eighteen ninety five nagant Remember this is 7.62 Nagant at $100 and you can pay a little bit more for select, but they also give you a little bit of break if you buy multiples. So that's JG sales. Okay, we've mentioned previously AIM surplus continues to list Romanian 8mm at $100 for a 340 round can. Remember, this stuff is the green lacquered style case, 1970s surplus, so this is not the commercial stuff, I will use polite words and say stuff that's been coming out of Russia recently at commercial quality control standards. This is a 1970s manufacturer Romanian 8mm Mauser, it's on the 5 round stripper clips, if you have a K98, get it. This is aimsurplus.com. Any other comments before we move on? No, very good. AIM again has some pretty good prices on stuff. The only thing is guys, if you see it, let's remind everyone those $5 mags that were available for a few days, they didn't last long and they had over 20,000 of them. People are looking for them, grabbing them as quick as they can to outfit and equip. When they can find something like that, they can throw in the cash and not cry about. In other words, stick it somewhere and it's not like, man, I missed that money. Now you're going to miss the money no matter what nowadays, but it's more affordable when you can find these deals and you'll be able to pre-deploy the equipment that you need where you will need it without you having to carry so many pieces. You actually have it in more than one location, ready to draw on. and caches or for issue remember we're looking at supply and support here having a pile of extra AK mags means that you know it's not bang in harsh language oh it's a real sophisticated single-shot rifle I ain't got a mag instead at least we're able to hand out mags and give somebody 30 rounds to work with which makes the other side think you know rather than just figure out what the hell might as well take a chance and see if we can expose ourselves and overrun your position every mag counts and the same is true with regards ammunition you know your mother amal uh... every round count so this is a good ammunition everybody that shot is the very happy with it it's it's the k ninety eight factory amo from world war two early war revisited that's the only describe it's all they did was standard eight millimeter world war two german factories crank out the same amo for the war saw packed during the cold war Very reliable, easy to use, steel case is not a surprise. We've been shooting steel case German forever, at least as long as I've been alive. And in fact, even brass case out there too from pre-war. But a lot of steel case, it'll work just fine. This stuff is pressure, and the World War II ammo is, so it should be good for a lot longer on the shelf too. It's time for a little negative editorial on my part. By and large, I list things that I think ought to be noticed in a positive sense. Every once in a while, I'll give a negative editorial on something. Centerfire Systems is in concert with Sportsman's Guide. Sportsman's Guide has been doing the same thing. Chile and Mausers, 1895 Mausers in 308 Chambering. Now, the 1895 Mauser first off ought to be not a firearm. It ought to be a standard mail order item. If somebody offers to sell this to you with a 4473 and all this kind of good stuff, tell them thank you very much and please find another sucker. A 95 Mauser should be a not a firearm. The other comment I have to make is that these 1895 Mausers were not originally chambered in 308. They were chambered in 7mm Mauser. 7mm is a smaller bore and it is a much smaller capacity cartridge. All the 7mm that you can find right now is pretty much pervy, partisan is mostly it. is loaded to very conservative pressure levels because the 95 Mausers are pretty much what uses them are made of soft metal. They are not designed for high pressures. Now .308 is not an insanely high pressure. It's not felt at Magnum or whatnot. But it is a much more vigorous cartridge than the 7mm that these rifles were designed to chamber. And these are 115 year old rifles, guys. So if you see somebody offering a .308 Chilean Mauser, first off, that was re-barreled and re-chambered from the original cartridge, the original cartridge with 7mm. And in my opinion, that rifle is being overstressed. It is being stressed beyond the original design goals. of the eighteen ninety five what's more you're going to be in for a little bit of surprise if you disregard my advice and get one of these things uh... the first time you work the action you're going to be surprised you're going to say what the heck is wrong with the fact because this is a talk on close action eighteen ninety five measures work out kind of close they corrected that in the ninety eight model uh... in my opinion cock on clothes is a major if one arm or the other of yours is not a hundred percent if you've been wounded or injured in some regard you're going to have a hard time pulling back on that for stock while you push forward on the ball both arms have to be operating one hundred percent for you to operate the action when it's a cock on clothes You can operate a bolt-action rifle almost one-handed if it's a cock on open because you are pulling back the bolt against the spring, but your shoulder is pressing against the stock and that provides you a grip. If you are holding onto the stock and pushing forward against spring pressure with your right hand and holding onto the stock with your left, If you're all muddy and sloppy and that stock is slippery or if something's happened to your hand or your wrist or your fingers or your elbow or whatnot, you cannot apply that backwards pressure to compensate for the forward push of your right hand. You're going to have a problem. You're going to have difficulty operating this thing. In my opinion, COC on close was simply a design error. The first way they went around building this action and they realized the mistake and they corrected it in the 98 model. So for all of these reasons, if somebody offers you a 308 Chilean Mauser, my advice is, well, don't necessarily scrap it for the metal, but do not value that as being in any way comparable, say, to a Mosin-McGaunt or some other comparable offer. And Sportsman's Guide has been offering these at $300. I consider that an insanely high price. Centerfire is offering them at $200. I think that compared to a $100 Mosin-McGaunt, that is way, way too high. My advice is pass on these guys. Somebody offers you one of these guys at $30 or $40, maybe. But look, a scan's added at $308. Do not run it at full pressure in $308. It was not designed for even sporting pressures in $308. It was designed for 7mm Mauser, which is a much more gentle cartridge. I would say two thumbs down on this particular offering. Comments? Well, especially the 95 in at least six different nationalities switched over to 308 or switched over to another chambering, depending upon national trends towards alliances or whatever. Plus, of course, the availability or regular availability of 308 as countries upgraded or why. They took many of the older inventory weapons and rechambered them or slash re-barreled them typically. Again, the big issue here is what year was the weapon made. It does not have as many locking cams as a 98 system. That's one of the important things about the 95s and pre-95 Mausers. The one thing is, like you said, it should be a no FFL firearm because if it's a Model 95, it's pre-98. uh... there's no restrictions on that that's just simply goofiness because of whatever administrative bs the ossim bamadang dong crowd has generated simply shite sure has been an office and anybody who knows about uh... the wall the way it's you know the way that the gun control active sixty eight even was written anything pre ninety eight is excluded is not considered a firearm so there's an example right there some of the federal party may have been doing uh... and and this is something on recently because otherwise They were $19 a piece through the mail for these rifles in the past. 1995, a whole whopping $20. And if you run them at 7mm, I would consider that an acceptable offer. You know, fine, this is a garrison rifle, this is a training rifle, you know, there you go. But these things, if they were rechambered for .308, that was an old rifle when they did that. One of the things to tell you about that is the reason they did it is that these countries all being poor, no matter how good the economy was on the planet, a lot of these weapons were number one, used for training rifles. Two, they were put in strategic reserves and since they didn't want to maintain their ammunition inventories of 7mm Mauser or 7.65 Argentine or whatever they were chambered to depending on the year and the weapon. The 308 was tantalizing because the British were selling it, the French were selling it. Everybody would sell it to you. Pakistan makes 308 for export. We would use it to bribe anybody. I mean, assist anybody. Yeah, assist anybody to help them. Yeah, exactly. And so that's why it's prestige, too. Upgrading to the latest weapons, even if you can't upgrade to the latest weapons, at least to the latest chambering. Of course, that was NATO standard at the time. And some of these countries are trying to get other nation status simply because they wanted to be able to do business with or receive goodies from Uncle Samuel and the NATO forces. So that's another reason that a lot of this came about. A lot of these weapons were switched over so they could achieve a certain level of standardization. And it's interesting still, a bunch of the 7mm show up, a bunch of the 765 Argentine chambering show up, so you've got to watch that. I just think it's sad that for whatever reason, and again, the FFLs are a smaller number, everything we warned everybody about with the FFL issue has come to pass exactly as expected. So just keep an eye out there. If somebody gives you one, don't not take it. Remember if all else fails, just keep it to the standard middle of the road load and pay attention to maintenance on the gun. That's the big thing. So if you've got to use it, you're going to use it. It gets into the whole issue. Yeah, something is better than nothing. But if somebody offers you these things at $200, my attitude is get two Mosins. Yeah, for $200, it should be no FFL. Yeah, in other words if you see that this has happened, and I will make a note on this It used to be if it was pre-98 They were the dogs on the market guys used to be like like you said $20 a rifle $15 a rifle Prices went up so for instance used to be able to buy 11 millimeter Remington rolling block 11 millimeter Egyptian all day from Sarko no FFL $75 Now that's reasonable, okay, because again, looking at, you know, it's an older weapon. But now, because of all the bureaucracy and because people know what the police state's up to, non-FFL pre-98 weapons are now going in the other direction. Now what used to be the $20 rifle is now the maximum rifle, and now the rifles that are over the counter, a quarter or half the price. Your example is a pre-98 Moisinnegga, which can easily be confirmed. It does not require any paperwork. But a post-nagot, and so people are charging 150, 200, and I've seen them even for $300 and $400 apiece. Post-98 model 91s are obviously going $69, $79, and $89 apiece. Not many $69 ones left, but there are some, mostly in the $80 to $90 range, reflecting the devaluation of the currency and available resources. That's simple. So some people are charging while they're expecting more. That's why some stuff isn't coming into the country. And the Obama administration is using silent gun control, like we saw in the past, to block material from coming in. May I remind everybody, when you used to buy a parts kit, guys, you got the barrel with it, remember? Now when you buy a parts kit, few and far between do you see the barrels, the tag barrels coming with the kit, don't you? They're already cut. there's an example of soft gun control without anybody at all i don't know how this is just the way it's always been for somebody who never got there for refusing uh... certain degree of latitude not time to meet it they okay you know people on the part the bureaucracy exactly well go ahead i don't get more good became please i have only a little bit more uh... i wanna remind everybody that sportsman's guide continue to have the with uh... hockey puck filters that is in the uh... hockey puck or the Easter egg or whatever you want to call it, the plastic clamshell container. They have 40 millimeter Swiss filters, 20 of these guys for $25. Now they do add shipping. If you are not in their club, that's $25. If you are in their club, it's $22.50 or something. You get about 10% off if you join their club, but it costs $30 to do it. So you've got to buy a lot of stuff. You've got to buy $300 to break even on joining their little club. I choose not to. I consider it not worth the expense. But even without joining, that is 20 Swiss filters for $25 plus shipping. If you buy more of them, of course the shipping will spread out a little bit better. That is SportsmansGuide.com. For under $2 a piece, that is an excellent price on these 40mm filters and you do want to grab those. Those are not a scratch your head and think about it. Those are, count your bear money and decide how many 20-packs you can afford and grab them offer. One last time, this is 20 of the new Swiss military filters. for $25 plus shipping. for the price and the way you're getting them that's as good as it's going to get. The one nice thing about the Swiss filters they're in their own carrying can that is very resilient. It's designed to take a blow and in fact deflect energy. Look at the way it's set up like a like a hamburger cover okay only on steroids. Like a McDonald's box. Yeah it looks like a Big Mac box. Yeah it should be a hamburger somewhere. If you use these filters, save the container. You can glue them back together again, spray paint them, and they become Easter eggs for the kids. Yeah, or still, I would still use them for exactly as they were intended, maybe not for the filters, but for other military items. They'd be great items for the cache. Sure. Think about it, Theo. Put them back together. Bathtub caulk, squeeze them back together, Mr. Duck tape around the seam. That's about as good as you're going to get. In fact, if you want to, smear some more bathtub caulk around the whole seam to be safe. Just a little beep, like with your finger. You're going to get a little icky latex on your finger there. and then duct tape it over anyway. Now put that in the cache, that's about as good a protection as you're going to get. Plus of course wherever you've got in the way you seal them in bags or whatever you're putting inside there. One good guy you're going to get back into them though before you drop them in the cache you might want to include a hammer or a wet chisel or something. Oh yeah, you can climb, we'll see a climbing knife. There we go, that's a good one. That'll give you that hook and get into that lip right there and pull that all apart again. But the whole point is that it is another tool. And once you're done, it's not thrown away. Obviously, the filter will be treated as contaminant. The other consideration is, if all else fails, that that is another interest. You know, they purl. My goodness, I didn't think about that. That is probably the intent also behind that carrier. What is this? It would be a decontamination tool, too. Encapsulating a contaminated filter in a shell like that means that it's almost impossible, but it would be compromised. Yeah, handling it as a biohazard for the outbound for disposal, that's perfect. Yeah, that's probably the case. That makes sense. Let's listen to that smart. See, otherwise you're throwing stuff like the Russians, or you're throwing it into garbage bags, well basically heavy gauge garbage bags, but you're looking at metal that can be shot, it can have sharp edges. See, this is the things people don't think about is that you're on a battlefield. Stuff happens. But you're still going to pick up the contaminated material and you're going to dispose of it with the system you have. Doesn't mean they don't use cans and other things, but to have a filter canister like that to carry it, you don't get rid of it. When you're done, you slave the clamshell, you unscrew it, you cap everything, and you still duct tape it right in there, right in place. She can't go anywhere. And then it goes in the decon bag. Perfect combination. And, least likely to be compromised when it's being handled roughly as waste, which is really a problem when it comes to handling material like that. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Plus, you can also, when you put it in your little, you know, decon burial pit, least likely to be compromised there too. Not going to easily flush into the water system or anything like that. No, that makes sense. That is what that's for. I guarantee it. We'd have to do some... I would have to work on my list and we would have to be doing some research, but guess what? If we did enough, I think we'd find that probably the engineer already thought it all through and it was part of the specs. Find native language field manuals on how to handle these things and you may discover what they have in mind. Exactly. Okay, we have an unusual offer here. I have mentioned in the past that people should consider potassium nitrate to be a strategic material. There are many, many uses for this. There is an outfit that is offering discounted potassium nitrate as a sales incentive. This outfit is called SkyLighter.com. lighter.com. Now before ordering you will have to check your local ordinances and so on and so forth. These guys specialize in materials for fireworks manufacturers, amateur pyrotechnicians, etc. They will sell you paper tubes and all sorts of chemicals involved in the process and fuse and so on and so forth. So this is a very interesting site to take a look at. Most of us remember our adolescence experiments in this area. The world was not as regulated and KGB-ed as America is today. Back when we were kids, this sort of stuff was just, you know, what can you afford and don't be foolish with it, behave. There are undoubtedly many local regulations against this in various locations. What's more, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has been all over these people. And for that reason, pay very, very close attention to their policy on the purchase of aluminum powder. You might think to purchase aluminum powder with thermite in mind. Well, the first time you place an order, you can't buy aluminum powder. They will refuse that. They have a detailed explanation of their policies, anything that could be used for making M80s or other solutes. They watch very carefully and they will not let you order it the first time around. If your order meets a profile that they won't quite specify but they are very experienced in this field, and they say, I think you are making M80s with these things, they will not sell to you. If you try too many times, they will blacklist your address and they won't sell anything to you, even cardboard tubes and such. Pay close attention to the fine print on their site. Go look up the aluminum powder, the potassium chlorate, those sorts of things and see their policy on these matters. However, if you live within their profile, for instance, there are kits for smoke pumps. That's a useful thing. There are lots of things that may be interesting. There are fuses, there are electric matches, there are electric firing systems, etc. There are many things of interest on this site, skylighter.com. If you purchase $75 worth of other stuff, this is a special offer, they will offer to include 10 pounds of potassium nitrate at only 97 cents per pound. That's probably half of a reasonable market price. In order to do that, you need a code. You have to use the checkout code on their site, and it is 97 nitrate. That is 97 in all caps. N-I-T-R-A-T-E. That is a product code that you can use to get some discounted potassium nitrate if you order 75 bucks worth of other stuff, not potassium nitrate, from them. So that is a sweetener in the form of 10 pounds of potassium nitrate at a very attractive price. But only if you're buying $75 worth of other stuff and pay attention to their policies because they're skirting around and trying to avoid having the Consumer Product Safety Commission jump all over them and put them out of business. Do not think that you can make up the $75 by buying piles and piles of very fine mesh aluminum powder. You can't do that on the first order. Simply can't do it. Read the rules and see what they will and will not accept. But if you can live within those $75 worth of other stuff at their regular prices, we'll enable the ordering code 97 nitrate to operate on your order. Go ahead. Again, when dealing with all this material, remember ultra dry, ultra clean. Ultra dry, ultra clean. This is like reloading. You can get away with a lot of other fudging, but all of the materials, reloading materials, anything that you're handling like this, moisture is your enemy. I cannot emphasize that enough. Do not treat this frivolously. Moisture is your enemy. One of the reasons that pyrotechnics, smokes and other things that were built like say by the VC had a low reliability rating is because of moisture. Doesn't mean they couldn't build a lot of it. They made up for quality with quantity. In other words for everyone that failed, don't worry they had four more to throw because they fabricated as many as they could. The point is, because of the high humidity and temperature was a key here, high humidity and temperature, the materials evidently took pull moisture. They're already supposed to be desiccated. They're already supposed to be very, very dry. Yeah, the term of high gross compa, H-Y-G-R-O, high gross compa, and a lot of these materials will pull moisture right out of the air. Winter is the best time to be tinkering around with these things. If you can stand to go out in the cold to test them. anything that you're putting together from instructions or from experiment you need to test the recipe to see if it works properly and if you're doing it right. And in miniscule amounts always remember that. Well, pulling up amounts that if it goes bang instead of whoosh, nothing is harmed. Besides, you don't want to burn up $5 worth of materials that this particular recipe needs a little bit more oxidizer or a little bit less. Exactly, I was going to say, oh no, that's all the money I had. Oh well, it was an interesting experiment while it lasted. So again, the big thing here, moisture, moisture kills. Always remember that, just like your powders, all of your primers, moisture kills. You know this, so you're already warned in advance. Just keep that in mind when you're working on other projects. especially in unique projects like this too. OK, now just a couple of minutes left. I would like to point out to everybody that we have archives on theintelligencereport.co.cc. If you miss a previous program, you can pull down an MP3 file from there. If you use a download manager, you can pull down that program even if you have a really slow connection like dial-up. I would like to point out that I'm really pleased with last week's program. I think that we talked about biomass fuels and a method of brick-heading that stuff. I think that this could be of extreme value to a lot of us if you listen to any program in the last month, any of the Quartermaster's programs for the last month. I recommend that you pull up last week's. I'm quite pleased with that and I think a lot of us could benefit from the techniques that are called out in that program. So, theintelligencereport.co.cc for archives of any program we have shown. But I recommend if anybody missed last Friday's, please pull that one down. Listen to that. Watch the videos that are referenced and decide whether that might be a useful technology for you. Go ahead. I think we're out of time. Yes, we are right at the top. By the way, real quick here, tomorrow when the war began, the second official trailer is out, guys. This is the Australian version VK of Red Dawn. Oh, for the Australians. In fact, you might notice the road they're on in one case. I swear, it was the road from the original Mad Max. Remember, the husband and the...or forgive me, the wife and the daughter and the... Oh, okay, yeah. Wife and little boy got run over. That one. There we go. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We are on the march both day and night. And we're making sure Quartermaster does the job. We got Dutch coming up right behind us. Don't you touch that dial. We will be right here with live broadcasting as it continues on Liberty Street Radio. Pitch in and help us guys as you can. We've got a month to make the bills. Gotta make sure that that's covered. DK, thank you for being here, sir. You're welcome. So what I'm doing is I'm using a USB headphone system here and make sure I've got a muting system here if I want to mute it. I guess I need a cop or something but We're just the show's gonna just be spoken word today It's just gonna be me sharing with you my ideas and those types of things now that says that I'm publishing the the lovely video actually right there when I get on my finger now So we will be doing video from here since we have the bandwidth to do it. I may turn it off later. We can't play music, we can't play intros, we can't hook the computers together. Because out of one, two, three, four computers, each one of them has a major malfunction that won't allow them to work together. Stacy right now is off at a store trying to find another computer for cheap. I don't have too much faith that that's going to happen. So we'll be doing it this way. Let me see if I can turn this up a little bit here. I don't know what our microphones are set at. Wow, 24. Why is it only 7.4? That's kind of strange. Boy, dang, there you go. Go to the mixer. Device. I think we're okay. I think this is as loud as we're going to get. I cannot hear myself. I cannot hear anything else. But we'll continue to do the show this way. Now right now we are not coming to you from the Church of Korea, although usually we do and we will not be at the Church of Korea for several days. We're about to embark on a road trip. We're going to try and do the show tomorrow. Same situation, we'll just be the headphones plugged in and through the USB since the sound card doesn't work. And we will do the show based on topical information. Let's see, I've got something on. Getting an IM right now. Okay, here we go. Okay, we are live. So, but we come in from the church. Can we have centered in Central California? That's right. We are behind the enemy lines. Lots of people have written us off, but we're still here. Now, I don't expect anyone to cry for us or extend an effort, but we continue to fight here. A lot of people think it's a waste of our time. But you've got to realize that we are not one monolithic communist socialist state. We are a mixture of cultures, we are a mixture of good and bad. Whether you go horizontally or vertically and split the state, take the desert away from the coast, take the cities away from the rural areas, we outnumber them. Now when I say we, I count the sheep too. I'm not saying everybody's a sheep dog. The number of liberals is a lot lower than you think it would be. Hello, Olima. Welcome to the show. We're doing a live show right now, but we don't have the ability to mix music, so we're just going to do the show for today, which I decided was what, the second of September, 2010. It just popped up. No updates. No updates. It's going to start an update while I'm doing the show. We lost one of our guests. As we wait here. So the last two days we didn't do a show because we just couldn't get anything to work. I couldn't get this sound card in this computer to work. It was strange. We were playing with it for four or five. Twenty minutes before we came on the show it was just frustrating. So I just kind of said, you know, I'm going to bail. So Tuesday and Wednesday there was no original show, but hello Minuteman. Welcome to the show. I see I got Go Shadow in there too. I think you've been here before. The name sounds familiar. But we're doing the show and we're also preparing to disembark on a road trip for the next couple of days. We're going to talk a little bit about travel and things like that, putting your gear together. When we travel, we take our survival three-day rucksacks with us, our backpacks. And we try to use it as a training mechanism. Boy, what's this? I don't even know what's going on here. Turn the TV off. Oh the movie 300's on next. Yeah, that'd be something good in the background wouldn't it? Playing 300 real loud. DC Sparta! I see you're going to go to 215. I see... 215. That's weird. 215. I think that's Fox News. Just not. That's really weird. That's a trouble channel. Let's go. I don't know where this is going to turn off. But we're trying to get our stuff together. It's live this time. We are live. It's not Memorex. It's not digital storage. So we got another guest in there. I'm going to wait for things to build up. I got a very interesting letter. Not a direct letter, but a hey everybody check me out letter. What was this? Earpieces or something. Stick those over here. From the Czech Baldwin camp. He gave his last sermon on Sunday. Yes, I am back from the dead. I'm still feeling kind of, eh. But Chuck Baldwin sent out the email that he's moving to Colley's spell. He's shutting down his church while someone else is taking over. He's quitting his church as pastor. He's taking his children and his grandchildren. They're all moving to Colley's spell, Montana, to a free state. He calls it the Mountain States. Some people refer to it as the state of Jefferson, whatever. But to me this is a good sign and we will read from that letter that took all them sent out. He's putting his money where his mouth is. It's showing he's being a spiritual leader of his family. It's showing that he's being wise and diligent with the resources God gave him. And it's going to be tough. I mean I wish I could just tear things up and move to college. Well I really do. I hate California. I hate 90% of the problems that I'm facing with my survival group here. And I did use the word hate. I hate division, I hate strife, I hate people nipping at my heels and trying to cause problems for me. It would be nice to be able to just go to Montana and start all over again, or Idaho or anywhere for that matter. But when you have somebody like the cowboy Chuck Baldwin, he's putting his money where his mouth is. It's a good sign. I know what you're saying, oh, you know, everybody, Bo Grites did this, everybody else has done it. But this is a mainstream pastor that has constitutional leanings. He's got a pretty big church. I was saying erroneously that his church is only 50 to 60 people, but it's several hundred. He has a pretty good large church down there in Florida. And for him to just decide over a period of time and come to the conclusion like most of us have. The cities are no place for a patriot. Well this looks weird in the camera. You can see the screen right there in my eyes. You can't really see my eyes. I don't know if there's a way to tilt my head down. Yeah, I saw that on survivalblog.com Rawls said that Idaho is number one California is still on his list, but a lot of people have given up on California Because of the economic situation and the huge concentration of liberal, you know pot smoking Patchouli smell and hippies that are here, but that doesn't mean that we still can't win the fight So I'm holding on for now I would, you know, if I had the resources I'd probably be gone if I could just load up the Calistoga. Is it Calistoga or Conestoga? What kind of wagon is it? Load up the covered wagon and just move north. Get out of this ridiculous state with this ridiculous laws. This ridiculous code enforcement. Man, I'll tell you what, the last few days
