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... So if you'd like to be among the first on the New Terror Watch list, visit Knob Creek Gun Range. Hone your skills with family and individual memberships and unlimited range time. Stock up on ammo before the gun bans go into effect, or buy a handgun, assault rifle, or reloading supplies. Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky is one mile off Dixie Highway on Highway 44 at 690, Richie Lane. Look, it's not like we're bugging the phones or anything, so give him a call at 922-4457. That's 922-4457. Or visit machinegunshoot.com. It's easier to find than my birth certificate. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We 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 traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O 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, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his tyrants trampled each God given right we only watching 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? Is this still the land of the free? Remember your training and you will come back alive well Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report I'm Mark Horky and I'm Donald Fetcher. 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're listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM&FM micro stations, CB Bay 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 ark to the Gulf of Mexico, headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma. A big chunk of... hmm... Nebraska, also Iowa slash Iowa, and our friends with a third of Wyoming. Well, we're looking at some interesting stuff going on here as we jump across the Mississippi and head towards... look, Golden Spike Project! That's right, across the whole of the Blue Ridge, the Smokies. You're looking at some major work being done there by the guys that are bridging one of the significant obstacles we have to concern ourselves with. So we're going to get the job done. They're going to do their part. You do yours. And that means also calling in your meals if you're going to be attending this weekend. Guys, there is a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday. Don't forget that means be there guys, but if you're going to show up, and you will because it's mandatory for those of you that need to get there, you better make it. A very important meeting, but if you can, call in your meals in advance. Don, today's date is, sir? Market is the 30th day of the last day of September 30th. Year of our laws and then we'll find ways for no man. As a matter of fact, it's been a very busy week here. It's Thursday already. We still have a day to go here work-wise, but that ain't that far away from finishing up. We've got the weekend coming up. A lot of activity. I will remind everyone there are no cancellations. We have 100% activity with all the facilities here in Michigan. So if you're planning on going to the range, everything will be open. Nothing will be shut down. Everything will be open. I'll remind everybody of that. So don't worry. Just get there with what you have in the way of resources that they're going to be putting bullets down range and ranges will be open. The doctor is going to be at the, from Zussman Ackerman by the way, will be at Camp Nagy-Hitcham. Will be at Nagy-Hitcham 3 range. They're going to be reviewing the B7B design and this is for the kitmeisters out there, the guys that are doing the gas operated some automatic 50. This is a project review for those that are working on stuff that are going to be bringing it in. This will be the doctor himself. The oldest son is going to be in North Carolina this weekend. So our friends that way that are in the know will know where to be to meet up with the other part of the Zussman-Ackerman teams that are doing their part to advance our 50 caliber association in another form. Anyway, what's happened on that neck of the woods, Tom? course now 811 by the way so it's only 511 way out on the left coast. But the weekend after that is Knob Creek, you guys. So we're down to almost counting the days to Knob Creek on both hands. I've got to say that. The other thing is, it depends on the mood sometimes. And sometimes the thing overall, like coast to coast, but you can get some pretty good bargains here and there because you're buying people bring have a particular caliber in. And then right next to them, another caliber of a different caliber. you know, when you move like down the road like that, cheaper. Well, here's another thing to think about, you guys. Guys who machine guns there and teams. Guy will be on the gun for a little while depending on how fast, depending on how long it is. As example, if you're shooting that minigun over there in .30 caliber, you're sending somebody into the market that other case of .30 for every now and then. And if he wants to spend that minute and a half on the gun and burn up a case and cut a couple things in two, well, easy. Go and get my drift. There'll be a whole lot of bullets and a whole lot of completely neat guns inside the shop and some really neat guns out there in the, oh, you know, the gun baza. You know, the gun, the swap meet, the gun, oh, the gun, oh, come on. It's a swap meet for guns. You know, the gun store out, you might be able to. pick up something like oh right there on that counter is a M2, a Ma Deuce and if you've never held one in your hand you look across the counter and say to the person I picked that up and that person and the person I asked was a woman Mark she was standing at that end of the table and she said sure but if you drop it you bought it. Three I'm thinking maybe yeah about 2003 Nancy and myself and a few other people went down and about $20,000 for a brand new M brand new you guys not something to rebuild this was a Sarc brand new gun, about $20,000. Now in that same time, I'm sure they're a little more known. In that same timeframe, there was a minigun, same minigun that I stood and watched. I gotta recount this for you guys, because if you've never been, this is another sperm to say, another to make you think to want to go, because while talking about that minigun and the aforementioned, send a case of ammunition down range or standing there at the line of, at Knob Creek, you know, there's a fence. between the firing line and the crowd, which is a real good thing. It's there for your safety and the safety and everybody else's safety and to keep things organized. If I'm standing there at the fence and I'm looking up and down the line and mark about four positions, maybe six positions, to my right, they're looking, I'm thinking, man, they got so many parts on the ground, they're gonna take about 20 minutes or a half together, what looks like it might be a minigun when they're done. And I look around, a couple of Germans stick are light enough, you know, the MG, what is it, 34s and 42s or 43s, whatever they are. It's just like, not exactly like a minigun, but by the way, down at the end there were a couple on the gun carriage, there were a couple gatling guns. Talking with Kenny a week or two ago, he apparently hasn't seen the gatling guns in a year or three. Almost to my immediate front, there was a 50 going above, and I look over and I don't know if it was exactly in the same chronological line of events here, but I looked down the line to my left mark. A man walks up with a handgun and all of the things that we're seeing going on, I think, what's this guy doing? He walks up with a handgun and trigger once and the gun goes bang, bang, bang, and it was empty. He put the magazine in and put another magazine in and went and ended up his magazines and exited the firing line. He had an automatic handgun. And about to think, and I saw everything in the world, I'm looking at the refrigerator mark. And the refrigerator has, you know, it's a stop being the small freezer. And looking at the refrigerator, which was open toward the crowd, and I got on the hinges off that refrigerator. And a moment later, it seemed like that long. About as much time as it took me to describe this to you, to my right end. And that man operating that minigun was headband that I was looking at that refrigerator and had that leverage. It just plopped over to the left. Now I'm told to the left of our field of view, now I'm told that that takes a very steady hand because you have to do that even with that leverage of the, because even those little strokes keep that from falling. So that takes a very full of times you guys, and that's the kind of stuff you'll like. You think they just wired halfway across the tree with it, you know? Wouldn't spool like electrical wire or underground cording or you know what I mean? Housing for the small tunnels they bore. A number of machine guns will all of a sudden concentrate on that. And what is like of wood in a wheel is reduced to sensors and rubble in a matter of moments. Sometimes they bring out carbs, sometimes they bring out fibers. I don't even want to talk about the dynamite after dark, but you guys, man, I look at the clock and I've chewed up a third of the hour talking about knob crease. I mean, and I don't mean to talk down to you like that, I'm just trying to make you grid. The knob crease is something, you guys. I can go on and on for the rest of the hour and some of the stuff I repeat hardly ever be able to halt in your lifetime. You know, might need and not see in a particular place or at, you know, quantity thereof or Creek is a good place to be in a couple of weekends. Mark, I yield the floor to you, sir. Well, again, Knob Creek coming up 8-9-10. Guys, it's not that far away. Still got plenty of time to prepare, though. One of the most important things, a lot of material at the gun show that's there. There's a lot of other events that are taking place. uh... you can go to the link go to w w w dot will be a great radio dot for and g dot com go to our website and if you scroll down you'll feel a whole bunch of silhouettes that's the knob creek range n c r will you punch that tap that it'll take your right to the uh... machine gun uh... uh... shoot uh... website where all the information you need top to bottom is right there You can give Kenny a call to find out if there is space available for the rifle, pistol, shotgun and multi-gun competitions because they have to sign up in advance for that. He stressed that on the air. It's a good thing he did because we haven't really mentioned that before the way we should, forgive me. But there is an excellent series of competitions of the lower ranges as they call them. Those are off to the, if you're facing the range, are off to the right and away from the main range. They will be ongoing small arms fire, you will hear it, or boom, boom, chick, chick, boom, chick, chick, boom through the days because of the competitions going on in the lower ranges or gun rentals where people are actually firing weapons that they have rented for a little bit that are sitting there, stun guns. shotguns, you know, submachine guns of all types, you know, machine guns of different types, assault rifles, real assault rifles, not some automatic weapons. Those are not assault rifles. Sorry guys. That's the liberal communist BS being stuck in everybody's ear that they should know better. A real assault rifle goes clack, clack, clack. Okay, has an extra little click to it and our weapons don't have that. And to be quite honest, you really don't need it in your weapon. You don't have a Chinese koolie or any kind of porter behind you to carry the extra three or four cases of ammo you'd need to stay in the field. Or even a pallet of ammunition a few yards away. That's right. In fact, a Jeep trailer wouldn't last long with a GE minigun anyway. 27,000 rounds only good for so many minutes. The only amount of talent in men. When you're having fun. That's right. What's wrong? Your Jeep trailer is empty. What? What do you mean my Jeep trailer is empty? I just started. Yeah, I know. Well, your Jeep trailer is empty and you got all night to fight. Oh man. Should have laid off that electronic, you know, that starter button, guys. Anyway, we all know how that works. It's something to see. There's going to be so many different things. Again, the German stick who, if you were to find a schematic, you guys, that's not too hard a gun to reproduce in any machine shop that any machinist should be able to build that gun. Interestingly enough, one of the things we should remind everybody, if you need parts, pieces, or assemblies, you're working on something, or if you're looking for ammunition or mags, you can go down to Knob Creek and you'll find pretty much the prices comparable, depending on who the company is. to what you see. For instance, with center fire systems, they'll have the mags there. You can actually look at them. You can see what it is you're going to buy. So there's a big advantage. Take a lot of money, go down, buy a big lump of whatever you need, take it home with you. It's that simple. Spare parts. If you guys have ARs, they don't have to be the brand newest stuff sitting out there. There's a bunch of AR-15, slash M16A1 parts in terms of buffers, pistol grips, spare stocks. It's a It's the neutral time, your preparatory weekend, and then two weekends out, not this weekend, but the next weekend. There isn't a lot to crunch in the meantime. Gang up with people. Throw a couple extra people in the car. Bring your fuel prices down, your cost down by sharing that. And everybody bring a lot of extra simoleons, clams, slash shekels with you and buy the place out. Our goal is to see everything that leave there and carried back to the shops, the stores, or wherever. It needs to be going down the road and spread out across the whole of the country. Get my drift. Now to find out more, go to Knob Creek. Let's go this way. We're going to go to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com and then you scroll down, go past our LTR Live 365 donation page there guys. You've got a little burgundy chip in. If you can, we need your help pitching there. This is the last day that we can do this. They've changed the billing date. so this is the last day if you can pitch in we need your help do that then scroll down a little farther go past main military go past the two guys stand side by side with the music video sorry enough no more uh... bp oil spill song a little farther past the poker face past jerry chin only a minute there it is uh... you got buckshot page and then you got knob creek range five zero two nine two two four four five seven's a phone number and then you click where the silhouettes are. I'm doing it right now so we can be on the shadow without it working. MachineGunShoot.com and there you are. You're right on the page. You have the address, you get all the contact information, everything ready to go guys. So all you gotta do is plug in, give them a call. You can also check on the schedule, find out what's available in terms of activities. There's plenty of camping space down there. Does everybody understand that? There's plenty of camping space down there. Okay? As long as everybody understands that, we're doing just fine. So I'll tell you what, we're going to have a lot of fun in the meantime with all the stuff that needs to be done. Let's see what else do we have here on that one to make sure. Oh, another thing too is don't forget they do have a gun shop there too year round. And they're open year round too by the way. I forgot to mention that. It's not just the Knob Creek machine gun shoot weekends. We've got a whole bunch of other activities coming up that are even bigger. So, I mean, well, other shoots. Not one's even bigger, but constant if nothing else. So there's the benchmark for what's up in the next two weekends. In addition to that, let's see, what else did we have? I was going to look there. We had a couple other events going on, Don. Well, before we go there, I'd like to put out a question, because you know what? Beyond the machine gun shoots, not there are other machine gun shoots around the nation, you guys. There's another thing that goes, and I know it's not a weapons one, we feel like talking about this. In some places, particularly the other side of the Mississippi mark, cannon shoots, you know, they'll bring their mortar from the Civil War era or their mortar from Vietnam. Or they'll literally bring that cannon that used to be on the top of a Jeep, that 105 recoilless, or they'll bring their 115-millimeter cannon, or their German 88 Civil War style cannon. There are cannon shoots you guys. Now, you know, sometimes we ask about this and that. But if there's a cannon shoot, I know they're through the summers in, you know, late in the spring and early in the fall, they quit. If there's one more cannon shooting, it might be in your area or your club and whatnot, you know, call us up and let us know because we'd be happy to put that on the air. No question about it. As a matter of fact, I just want to double check here and I went to the, you can go over to the machine gun shoot competition registration. Let's see, we've got submachine gun, KCR national subgun competition, the salt rifle competition, oil and military bolt action rifle competition, KCR shotgun competition, and I think that's it. Oh, no, let's not forget pistol, right at the top. I'm gonna hit on that one. Hit me in the microphone. Anyway, if you find out more, machinegunshoot.com, machinegunshoot.com, machinegunshoot.com, we're going to Liberty Tree Radio and go to the link. If you're going to go to Liberty Tree Radio, I'm going to ask again and remind you, I'm going to harp on this guy's Knob Creek machinegunshoot. We've got that coming up, but in the meantime, we've got a bill that we've got to meet here having due to live 365, so anybody that can pitch in, We need your help. If you can seat your heart to help with the project, that would be fantastic. We'll do our part. You can do yours and everything will be up to spec, up to snuff. So if we have any other updates or changes, Ed can cut in there if there's something that needs to be modified or corrected, but I think we're pretty well squared away on that one. Don, another thing here too, we were talking about, and I want to shift back to this real quick. Well, okay, let's do one more thing before the bottom of the arc here. Actually, we're at the bottom of the arc. Atlantic Cutlery Corporation, guys, I want to touch on this just again. Bottom of the hour, 1-800-8830300. Atlantic Cutlery, 1-800-8830300. You want to get hold of catalog number 146. They have a limited time special offer. 20% off all items on page 30 to 36, which are all of the antique weapons from Nepal. Now, what does that include? Well, the two big things that are available here, no FFL required that are available direct for a untouched Martini Henry 450 slash 577 short lever M1878 infantry rifles. This is the equivalent to the Remington Rolling Block or the Springfield Trap Door in a large bore, large straight case configuration. This is a very cool single shot placement rifle. But this is pre 1898 so guess what? No FFL, no paperwork, it's an antique. It's $179 before the discount. You knock the discount off, you've got to figure you're taking off another $20, $30, $37 or so. So you're knocking it down to about $150 a rifle which is decent for the short stroke model. Then they have the Nepalese Kehendra Martini Henry rifle. This particular rifle is $189.95, so figure $190 minus 20%. But again, it's a cartridge gun. They've opened the breach, checked to make sure there's no cartridge stuck in the bore or anything. Then they send it to you as is. They've not cleaned them up. These things are going to be yucky looking at best. but they can be cleaned up and they can be put into service at your discretion in a number of different ways. Be a little creative. Do some research on the straight case or semi-tapered cartridges that were from the black powder transition to the smokeless powder era. There are some interesting things that can be done with these. I'm bringing this up because this is what I call a Mr. Dolby rifle. It's kind of like the 43 Egyptian Remington Rolling Blocks that were from Sarco years ago. $75 a piece. They were nothing pretty to look at but they were serviceable and a lot of people built them up. Got them from Sarco for $75, cleaned them up, put them online and they're shooting them today. Brass is available. So you want to look at the multiple pages of stuff that's in the whole catalog, get a catalog from them. Again, that number is 1-800-883-7. 0300. These are Martini Henry rifles. They're also Snyder conversions on the infield and a bunch of other stuff there that's worth checking out. Your choice, you guys figure out what you want to do, but end some cap and ball stuff too, especially an old British musketry slash rifled weapons. And the prices vary. If they cleaned it up, they're going to charge you a lot more. You clean it up, you get to find out what's underneath the dirt. That's how it works. Also, a lot of other good blades and stuff there. Your choice, you go through and select what you think fits your fist. And what it is, it will cut somebody better with your fist attached. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Get my drift. So there's a solution. Anyway, we were talking down, and I want to get back on this, because guess what? We look outside, it's dark. We were talking about modifying or coming up with alternate solution night vision scope systems. When we were talking about this, we weren't trying to direct everybody away from the weaponsite systems per se, but if the cost seems to be prohibitive for a brand new second or third generation weaponsite system, then one of the considerations is at the very least to create a bargain basement version. 15 years ago and 20 years ago when we proposed these ideas before in their earlier stage, we had to find things to modify. We had to find solutions for the scope bases and things of that nature. Well, technology and the wonderful CNC machinery out there has caught up with everything. So between Zytel nylon castings and then machining, and aluminum and a lot of machining. You can get any kind of picatinny rail, you can get raised and alternate stepped rails, you can get rails that will go on top of rails, you can get rails that will go beside rails. You can get any form of scope mount you can possibly imagine, and that's just a matter of you seeking them out. Don't tell me they don't exist. I've seen everything now. So, to make a weapon, especially a simple .22 into something unique. It's not that hard. Another one we didn't touch on last night, again a gas operated gun though, is the Ruger 10 .22. The reason we talk about the Ruger 10 .22, like the Glenfield I mentioned, the Ruger's out there in force. It's got more parts and tidbits and trinkets that can be attached or can be changed on it so that you can build that rifle up to do whatever you think you need it to do. It's purely up to you. But, let's go over this again because a lot of people, again, we're trying to come up with the cheapest solution for a night vision assembly, say a 22 or a light recoil rifle, like the AR-15, which could be modified too. There's all kinds of groove fixtures, there's flat roofed ARs. Let's just say we're going to build up a .22 and we're going to buy the Picatinny rails and everything else. Walk this through for our friends that are listening and pay attention guys. I'm not going to interrupt Don because I want you to just build it up for us. How can we put this together? Well let's go here real quick. One roof. You don't even really, if you can bring a flat sort of top. You mentioned that Ruger 10-22 there. He had his, and he wanted to kind of do, you know, he wanted to have proprietary in front of a few things. He put a scope on top of his guns. If you own one, you know what I'm talking about. That kind of would be a good way. Clamp two notches and clamping into the top of your revolver if it's a handgun scoping on or if it's a long gun. You don't even necessarily have to do a rail. Rail would be a convenient. You walk out and you go to the gun store. You're not going to buy that for the Ruger generally at the Walmart. Walmart, you can go down there and get a rail. Now, if you're talking about a different gun that has this, you know, top of the receiver has pre-threaded holes in it, well, you're a good portion of the way there. You're going to have to find a way to deal with those claims on that 1022 and bring a rail up from there. You talk about machining and whatnot. Some night vision devices, when you look down the length of them, they're probably round and some of them it's going to be egg shaped and some of them it will be rectangular. It might change depending on, you know, there's a thing called eye relief. You guys, daylight shooters, optics, you know, and if you've ever shot you guys years ago, I told you about shooting that fourth generation piece on top of the .50 cal, .50 cal. When he wanted to shoot it, he goes into that because he told himself he couldn't see anything through that. So when he pulled the trigger, even with the rubber boot and the rubber he, with the .50. But, you know, there's a thing called eye relief, and it's generally enough so, you know, even if the scope moves backwards. and your eyebrow allow you to not have to build a meeting on the east coast and you got money and you don't have the, this is, you wonder why I went in such a way, you know, if you don't have the money to probably got the time, you know what I mean? It's money and if you want to go in a particular direction and bet on time and get something done and you can save some money. And I'm not trying to double talk you there, you know exactly what I'm trying to say. And I use that on, like, because, you know, sometimes you want to do something, but you don't have the money and sometimes you want to do something, you don't have the time. Again, there's a way, that's just a quick way to clam. So if a minimal recoil, looking like a 22, a 10-22, a 2-2-3, now a 2-2-3 starts to put, you know, you're starting to get up there. As far as recoil and so to be a handheld, they might not live on todette a long time, but that would be something to experiment with, you know. Again, you know, you're trying to get someplace. The other way to do it, and now we've described too, if you've got a 1,220, again, if you've got a 1,220 sitting in the bottom of the device, now you can go to different manufacturers. a rail that goes a screw or going by a rail and drill it's quarter 20 screw fits and you figured the right length and now you've captured that to run a device and that rail turns around to the rail on top of the gun and a circular fixture around a device. Now another thing you can do and we touched on this the other day Mark at the close of the hour. Another thing you can do to bring up and it's kind of quick and down and dirty you know we talk about saving all kinds of things and you know with you on Tuesday nights generally. Mark has a list and it's been on the internet for years and he's brought this up. He was the guy who made me aware of this. He came and made lists of war errors. There are all kinds of things in there like thread and needles and all kinds of things in there that you wouldn't think of. How about rubber bands? Dirty ozone? Because that's about the worst thing that ozone does is put them away. Now you might wonder why and I'm not going to need them to hold up your worn out socks. What you do is you take one of those rubber bands and if you have to double it around these. Now you've got around there and not shoelaces. Depending on the device, you're going to have to, you can stand out here in the dark, first generation device, and maybe holding it kind of forward and under your pinky finger hold a piece of string and with your other free hand draw them and keep doing that until you have a piece of string that's big enough. You can just see it in the device. Now when you've established how wide that string needs to be, so you can, now this is military procedure, this is field expedience for fixing PBS2s and PBS4s whose reticles have failed. This is known procedure you guys. You can do it with tape, you can do it with string if you're a real patient, wrapping and wrapping and wrapping it around and tying it and wrapping. But rubber bands are real quick and you know what, you can rubber band a little bit and move that string until what? That innovated chain that you've just created on your, not night vision, guard it to a gun sight. actually tweak that around until at a particular range, your point of aim and your point of impact face to mount. You can go, you guys I'll tell you a secret. Some of the very first of the night vision video, they're 20 and I had the camera playing with that quarter 20 through the mount and I had the night vision affixed to the front wooden bar in front of, held there with, worked real good. So there's rubber bands. there's a way to get you a point of aim. Now here's another thing, if that front lens is adjustable, if you found a point of aim where range, now and you've got one string level and you turn that to try to adjust for a different range, try to at a, one would be a most common or optional range for where you are working, because you know what, if you have to turn that majorly, even a quarter turn, that point of aim versus point of impact might not coincide. So see, there are advantages and disadvantages to try to getting short of places and it goes over to the right tool for the right job. But here we're trying to build the tools, aren't we? We've given you a couple of paths there. You know, if you're looking at something like a first generation device, you guys, you might want to think about going down to, you can still go down to that radio shack and get some good things. Rather you went online these days, but you know, you can go down to the radio shack and go down to that big. gray cabinet with all those drawers in it and front or open them up and read the tops until you find infrared emitting diodes. Oh, you can get infrared and get infrared for ED, infrared diodes. And because that's going to be the most, you're going to get the most bang for the individual parts jumping out of that little device. Now, you know what, Mark, I have about three, four, maybe five around here that need to go through the process. They're just dead hulls. The white light front is shot. kind of clever and in three dimensions what you do is you take one, right you want to make it two or three or five and you arrange those you know it can be done there's different ways to do it the hot rod magazines will tell you some of the motorcycle magazines will tell you that you arrange the infrared ball clay and real close together and then you put a bam around it with it might even be wood or pre-drilled hole that is set on clay or it might be tape or anything then you pour an epoxy in around that And you know what, when the epoxy dries, you strip away the F-M and you strip away the clay. Now you have those light emitting diodes, only they're in infrared, they're infrared emitting diodes in a particular way. And if you're clever, you've built that much away that it'll slide right into that little fixture that, you know, that light refractors, that in that aforementioned tile on the other side, you're going to have to work all of those. So, you know, it goes in, electricity goes in one and comes out the other. And you might have to run that back to... battery or a different number of batteries, you know what one thing you can do is if it used to hold D batteries, you can stack a whole bunch of A batteries in there. Or even, you know, if you want to go that route to 9 volt battery, but now you're going to have to get what, oh, what is that? A resistor and you're going to have to get the right one to bring it down to the right amount of amperage. So when you turn that switch, now it'll be good. Maybe the guy at the counter there at Radio Shack will be able to tell you exactly what you need. Build that, the aforementioned device, but you guys now you've got your own, you've got Oh, an illuminator, if you build that with, as example, five or six diodes in there, you're gonna have an illuminator that's gonna light up 70 and perhaps maybe even 100 yards. Now, I can't tell you how long that battery's gonna last. It's gonna go, those are light emitting diodes, you guys. They don't pull on that juice real hard. But now you've got there a lot of patience, depending on the price of the resistor, and you can get those diodes for a buck. I can reach right up here and give you the penny. I think I spent the $1.97 for one of them. mark a while back. Oh my gosh, you might get that beam out to 150 yards. And if you were to do this in one of those dead million candle power things, with the reefer in the right place in the great big hole, so you put like 30 emitters, you'd be able to literally point that if you knew there was night vision over there, point that at the op force's night vision, and shut it off like he reached up and turned it off. Even a third generation device would be overwhelmed by the amount of light coming into it and would You're not going to do that to me again for about 10 minutes. He doesn't have a device. And during the year, you guys, if I, you guys, when you buy devices, I tell you, I can get you another illuminator. It's just over a hundred and they want 130 or 144 at least. I described to you the way to build an equally powerful infrared emitter of between 20 and 30 dollars. Now, granted, you're going to have to scrounge up a dead flashlight hole, but you probably got one of those around. We've been telling you not to throw them out for a while. Again, where do you want to go from there, you guys? Catching them to hot air balloons. Which is actually helium filled smaller balloons in clusters, poor man's solution. Yeah, when they're that cheap. Ooh! A hot air balloon was speaking with a whole bunch of hot air there. It is balloon! Yeah, that's true. Well, interestingly enough, either way, the solution to actually get a height and be able to get on-time delivery night or day with night vision or with conventional optics. Simple gas-filled balloons guys store bought in greens, browns and blacks or in grays, earth colors and like. sky colors whatever craze blues medium blues and creates an interesting pattern to disrupt especially if you have some cloud cover so that not as easily observed there's a bunch of neat things that can be done to get an image system up in the air and if it's night vision take the night vision attaching that to a receiver system there should see a reception system that can then send uh... camera unit for instance which isn't that hard and uh... then and paid uh... analog not digital analog transmitters which means you've got all these little cheap five-inch televisions runoff twelve volt power you plug them in you've got energy uh... cheap cheap power you can use rechargeable batteries keep the television receiver going and guess what within the line of sight especially since it's up on a balloon down that can be tethered How about a fishing reel to bring it back in? Yeah, exactly. And the heavier, older style fishing reel, the heavier deep water fishing reels are more than a strength, already geared down, and they're fast, which is the other thing. You can even motorize it if you want to. How do you motorize it? How about a throw away electric drill somebody else wanted to get rid of? There you go. You can have a whole package self-contained so you're holding onto it. You hit the drill, it operates the reel, and you can pull that tether unit right back down, evacuate the gas from the balloons, or if you want to have some fun just screw the bad guys, save up your equipment, pull your equipment down, untether the balloon with a knife, and away they go. Hey, something else just to keep the bad guys busy. You want to have some fun? String some tin foil or some mylar stretched out in ribbons about how let's see maybe 3-5 feet, 10 feet long varying lengths and just let it go. It's a UFO down, UFO. Well you could put an LED on it. That would give you a plicky too. That would be kind of fun. So if you had a guy with night vision he'd be looking at it and then he'd lift it up as he's flying by just to make sure. I don't see it with my eyes. What thick is that? This makes me think of the aliens movie. I told you and they're coming to eat us too. Oh no. No, they're probably not coming to eat you sir, but they're thinking about it. So anyway, most important here guys, solutions without expending a whole lot of resources. The reason I wanted you to go over this again Don, look outside guys, it's dark. It's going to stay darker longer. The night vision videos are available. We have the package three disc set. which is the original primer plus the training videos that are using the actual equipment in its latest formations. What did we say? $30 for that, Don? $30 donation and this is all three. This is everything you need to understand night vision top to bottom. And you actually won't have to turn your equipment on and wear it out. So if you're trying to teach other people, you want them to watch these videos first. before you hit a switch or you throw anything online, have them watch the instructional videos, then you give a class on the basic equipment that you have, then you walk out, first you show how it runs, you demonstrate to them and let them see what the equipment does, then you let them turn the thing on and actually operate the equipment. This is good practice, but not until they've watched the videos. So there's nothing they have to guess, nothing they have to go, I wonder if this does this. No, it already does. Trust me. Don't do that. It's going to be a wear and tear on the machine. What should we do when I look at the fire? Yeah, exactly. The last thing it does. We don't want that. So a bunch of mean things can be done too in reverse order when you're dealing with a bad guy's night vision technology too. Just keep that in mind for future reference when the time comes. You know, well, we won't discuss it. We're at the top right now. Don, you're number for night vision because people can call right after the hour, right? Yes, you can reach me at 2317-9658. Again, 2317-9658. Very good. And if you want copies of the Night Vision series, it's PBN PO Box, 194, Dexter, Michigan, 48130. Send a $30 check money order or FRMs, make out the check of money orders to Nancy, last name, K-O-E-R-N-K-E, specify three disk night vision sets. That way you get the package mechanisms. Some already have the original primers, so you may not want that, but the three disk set, $30. Well, we're going to go. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is in the run. We are a powerful day empire. Ura, once again, Don, your number for 93. 2-3-1-7-9-6-8-4-5-8. Very good. Dutch Jones coming up next right behind us. More live LTR radio, so you stay tuned there. Thank you, Doc. Thank you, Mark. Always shy and liberty free, hips at all
