We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, good afternoon, channel 27 and channel 29, greater northern Michigan, experimental slash research channel 31. Presently in the Thumb area, I understand, they're going to be setting up another micro FM and radio pod over there to replace one that we built back in 1995. Not getting rid of the old equipment, it's going over to another site. on the other side of the county to double up our strength and put another backup location in place with regard to signal communications. They're doing a great job there. Alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network, top of Maine, bottom of Florida, bottom of Florida, across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both Pitt 3rd and 5th, and our friends Over there on the other side of the state, the seven sisters, each rebroadcaster in a separate valley. They are the only radio, so if you're listening in a car or truck radio and you're on your way across the ranch or down on another part of the valley, the only way you're able to use that car radio is because of Patriot Broadcasting. Everybody else has failed. In fact, many other stations that were there pulled out of the valleys because, hey, you're not that important to them, but guess what? Well, we think you are. Also, Colorado, the recall state waving the left coast where the state of Jefferson building a shining light amongst detritus debris, wreckage, and the stench of Feinstein. the parasites sucking the resources off and destroying the landscape of the California Soviet Socialist Democracy, the CSSD. Turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land in the Smokies with the restaurant crews, grammar teams, OK teams. And Ma Bell, Grandma Consortium of Cleveland, buried under a ton of snow, and the Ma Bell, Grandma girls are doing their part there. Hopefully they're staying warm and staying inside. Let the youngsters, the spring chickens that are 70 and 60 years old, shovel the snow. Our 90-year-old grandmas can sit on their duff and use the magic pointy authority finger. We'll follow whatever instructions they give. That'll work out fine. But it is the golden spike. It is... Well, first it was semi-clear, then it's kind of clouded up, which is a good thing because we got a little warmer, not much. But we got a little warmer today, so we might keep those temperatures because we have cloud cover tonight instead of clear sky. So that's a good thing. Even if we got a little snow, I don't think we'd cry about or suffer because temperatures actually had to come up to do that. We'll save in a little heating and get a little more insulation on the roof. How you like that one? Well, Spike, it's medium here. It's classic Michigan winter. What's it like there, sir? And what is the day today? It's 18 degrees and snowing on this Thursday, January 9th, year of our Lord, 2014. And it's not looking too bad out there yet, but it is coming down pretty good, but they say we're not supposed to get much. So, but it's interesting. Yeah, it's another shot coming up from the southwest and there's some other stuff meeting with it on the edge and it's 18 degrees outside and they're going there could be some freezing rain. I'm like wait a minute how can you have freezing rain when it's not even 32 degrees yet? Doesn't make any sense. So that means that the higher elevation has to be warmer air. Yeah. you know even warm water and throwing it into the air in this sub-zero weather. Yeah, it freezes in there except for the part of the kids head. Yeah, it's like clink clink clink clink clink clink. It's like everything, it's frozen before it even gets up, let alone before it hits the ground guys. That's what's really neat. If you watch a lot of these videos it's like ahhhhh You know in the steam, you know it dissipates the the surface area and the very nature of water Well allows for cooling despite what you say, you know would think cuz there's there's gotta be some calories there Yeah, but the cold weather, you know that cold biting air compensates for that Sucks all the calories out and everything drops as icicles or as little speclets little beadlets little little frost bites So, again, we're doing better because I don't think you could get away with that now. Even here, we've gone up a little bit and headed towards just below freezing. Still cold, but for all the critters, the good thing is it's come up enough it's not as bad or it isn't going to bite them as much. And they've got their winter fat and they've got their winter. They're already acclimated, so I'm not too worried about them. Yeah, they've got a built-in workload. Yeah, in fact, Even our indoor cats are in the same boat poof which is the sister to one that you have the beast Tommy boy. Yeah, she looks like a big dust mop ball She looks like she really has a lion's mane this year. It's like really fluffed out She's got the fur in all directions and when she mouths it's the only way to figure out where the middle of her face is because Everything is just poof to you know the fur all over on the ear tufts and everything So, really cool, but that's the one with cats that mostly spends time indoors even though she's an outdoor cat when she wants to be. But everyone has got to, if you gauge by the animals, guys, they all naturally respond. And they're all thick of fur. They're all ready for the season. My dog was loving it at first when the snow was falling and she was out running around and flipping it around with her face and just having a good old time but then when that temperature dropped down to 45 below wind chill she didn't like it too well even though her she had the fur coat on she was standing on one foot she'd lift one front foot and then she put the other one down and lift the other one then she finally decided I think it's really cold I need to go to the bathroom and get back inside And, you know, not to mention, we don't want anybody to try to write their name in the snow at 45. Yeah, you might leave some body parts behind. Oh, that's not a toe. Wait a minute. You know, with the current state of affairs, I'm surprised we haven't seen that yet. Yeah, we've heard about it. Did he stick his tongue on the metal pole? No. Did he stick his wet fingers on the metal pole? No. I'm not going out to help him. What? You're gonna? No. You touch it. I'm not gonna touch it. Go get a cup of warm water. Oh, that's gonna hurt. That's good. He deserves it. Go ahead. Just yet. They were they were shaping dogs off fire hydrants in Indiana, I heard. It hurts. It hurts a little, but don't worry. They'll get used to it after a while. They'll never do that again. Nope. Only once, sir. Only once. Well, again, we're seeing an improvement. And again, hearing about the freezing rain routine, the freezing slash one edge away from slush coming down, that shows you that we've got two or three different tiers of weather fronts overlapping each other. And if it dumps real fast, that'll be more like a sleet snow, obviously. Or like I said, I've seen even strided, like little icicles coming down, more like long hail. That's not unlikely either, but especially since we're heading towards the middle of January, the first of February around the sixth. We have to expect a melt which I really really really have been warning people about here because obviously we got a good chunk of snow like a lot of people did. But we always have that fall for just a little bit and I don't think it'll get rid of all the snow but it sure as hell put an ice cap underneath everything that you won't see until you step on it guys. Oh yeah, we we don't watch for yeah. We tried to get it to move and I had moved all the snow a good 10 feet all the way around the car. And there was plenty of room to back up and pull forward to get a good running start towards where the snowplow made the big ridge there. And I dug that down as far as I could. I got in the car and it had been warming up, so I put it in drive and put my foot on the gas. I'm not going anywhere. Give it more gas and oh, I'm spinning Wow I looked up the window and looked out around the door and the front tires just idling and it's spinning in the Wait a minute Like that's what's kitty glitters for yep, that's what we had though some ice melt Threw it down our tires and let that sit for a minute, and it worked just fine Mark you know the thing is tonight. We're supposed to have a dense fog because I took a temperature of the ground and with the humidity and the air, if the ground is colder, we are going to get the fog. We get nasty fog around here. Oh yeah, well it's the same in this. The lake all across Michigan here, we have a major temperature shift. That's supposed to be possibly coming at us from two different directions. Now if it comes out of the north, it will be a drop. There's still plenty of Lake Superior cold waiting for us up there. Where Spike is, we may see a change or an improvement. It will push north towards us. That cool bubble will come down and it will shove that across the Lake Erie again. Like we would say, it will move right across the bottom of the state of Michigan, right along all the middle states. Then it will shift north. This is what's weird. It goes straight north then on the Ontario Peninsula or across Lake Erie. and it pushes that cold down. You just saw a little version that I brought up here a couple of days ago and it looks, if it really gets going guys, it looks like a hurricane. And I'm surprised, nobody really talks about this when they look at the weather service people talk about weather patterns. You'll never see them discuss this but you can watch it if you pay attention to all the different national satellite services. It will just be a carousel wave upon wave hitting Chicago then running across the bottom of the state Then going up to the north and that's why we get you know we get we get freezing fog We get misting rain or that turns to a like almost like high altitude snow, but it's beady It's actually like a little micro hail Doesn't really you don't really notice if you're driving down the road is it here that kind of a constant wash You know the little pick pick pick pick pick, but it's tiny so it's like as it's coming down as opposed to just snow flaking. Everything we've gotten so far has been high-elevation snow here. So it's been straight down, it's been constant, it's not like we're getting big lake effects the size of your thumb, usually big flakes. We see that a lot over on the west side of the state. In this case, it's all the perfect snow so far. Mark, I know it's like when I show the satellite. Like I said, those low pressure systems do look like little mini tropical storms or hurricanes or tropical depressions. Depending on the terrain, if you have rivers and lakes nearby, remember those are natural paths of least resistance. They create or feed the front. Literally, in the last three or four years, if you pay attention, it actually looks like the cycle of a hurricane. You'll actually see wave fronts moving as it starts to feed itself and build up speed. It makes this big circle around the lakes. The lower peninsula is the epicenter of this. Typically, about where Lansing is, which is the middle of the lower peninsula. cover their ass. They're saying that global warming is what's causing this cold polar vortexes. I told you, remember what I said, what they were focusing on? They're not focusing on the cold fronts in Hudson Bay. They're making it sound like the jet stream, which came first, the chicken or the egg. Well, the Gulf stream is going to be adjusted by thermals in the south. which they would acknowledge coming off the water and then you've got Hudson Bay which everybody tries to ignore. It's actually been taken out of the psychological map. It's like Hudson Bay or places like that don't exist but that's part of the dumbing down of the population with regard to the lack of science in the school system. It used to be all, I mean topography, geology, these are all things that we all used to be taught. But if you'll notice, they engineer the flat square map. So we've got the Flat Earth Society, all these supposed open-brain liberals. They're not open-brain liberals. They're jackasses with an agenda. And I was looking at the mapping and I'm telling you that, like I said a couple days ago, the whole gist behind what they were showing you on the map was to try and still salvage the global warming scam. Right, right. That's what I was getting at. Yeah. They're trying to cover their hat. I mean, everybody's looking at, everyone's looking at themselves going, why am I freezing my ass off? You know, and all they're hearing about is global warming. Global warming, cooling. Global cooling warming. But the other half of this is counting on the idea that they've stupefied everybody. I mean, well, here it is a fact. A lot of people have been pushed into less temperate environments farther south, and they still have a winter cycle. But the idea is that if people thinking to the end of their nose are going, well, our cycle's like this, and we don't get any snow, and it must be global warming. Well, you're in Florida. or you're in like southern Georgia where you know you still get dustings or you get a snow you know brew up every so many years and as we've always said it's worse down there because they aren't used to it at all don't have any equipment for it. We're up here we have we have thousands of pieces of snow equipment on standby that we sit and stare at through late spring summer and fall and then they're only used for one season guys. You know if you go by a county roads up here We have to have the snow racks on standby with all the snow plows and the snow grinders and the salt distributors. They're all stacked and racked and have to be, you know, they're inventoried for the season when we're out, you know, when we're off it. Whereas other parts of the country, their biggest concern is road grading or, you know, filling potholes. And as far as that, maybe having to worry about having some sandbags around because of flooding. So they might have buckets and they might have other combat engineer type vehicles, you know, bulldozers, etc. Which we have up here too. But we have a, you know, anywhere in the northern states, we have a whole battery of technology because this is what happens up here, guys. Go ahead. What's going to be there in 2000 years? Say yeah. Say yeah. Don't send them food. Send them luggage. Get them to move. Hey Mark, do you remember that movie The Perfect Storm? I remember when that Perfect Storm happened when Hurricane Grace came up and the weatherman was sitting there going to movie. Well, we've got this cold front up in Canada coming down. We've got this low pressure in your... Low pressure system, scotch brain, we got hurricane grace. Suppose hurricane grace in this soil like beach, this low pressure system, we can have a perfect storm. Everybody was blaming that on global warming back then. I remember that. Greenhouse gases. Right. Well, before that, you remember again, that was part of the other witch doctor science program with regard to refrigerants. Everybody in the refrigeration industry, what they were told to do is shut up because everybody knew better. The refrigerants can't, they're heavy gases. When they're released, they don't go up, they go down. But that was part of the witch doctor counting on everybody not to have any physics or chemistry concept, anything having to do with regard to the elemental processes. They plugged that in, yapped it over and over again. And they've been doing this for so many years now that I have to question a big chunk of a lot of the BS that has been generated since the Government Science Institute and Government Science Cash Dollars have been showing up, which has been a long time. There is a whole bunch of stuff out there that just absolutely BS across the board. It's one thing if you were younger and starry eyed, but I'm sorry, I was back around, like I said, on the college campuses when it was global cooling and we were all going to freeze to death. and all the underground comic books and all of the hippy stuff that they've made disappear. I mean the real hippy, the hateful hippy stuff guys. They were the real hippies that were the, you know, the organic type of the earth. You know, they were the people that wore leather thongs instead of fake plastic thongs because we can't kill the animals. and they were naturalists. But then there's the other psycho-babble, criminal characters who were flat-out communists and were the kind of filth that we need to get out of this country and unfortunately they're the ones that are my age that are out there on the opposite side that are the ones that pushed bad ears into the White House behind the scenes. Well, those characters, they were pushing the same kind of BS then that they are now. And they're counting on the idea that they've stupefied the population to science. And that's where our problem is. If we just sit back and use a little common sense and application, you know, with regard to looking at, you know, how things work, it doesn't take very long for you to figure out that pretty much all the BS they pulled out of their hours, for all the money they can throw at it, it still comes down to you don't get more money to throw at it if they don't get the result that the system or the agenda pushers want. They can dance around the fire bare butt naked, uncle, uncle, uncle all day. If they still didn't get the dance right, it doesn't make any difference. Whatever they come up with at the end will match the demanded result by the regime and what it's pushing. That's what we're seeing repeatedly now, to the point where it's caused us outrageous amounts of resource, where we could really be focusing on the problem, of the other real problems that would settle a whole bunch of the others. Anyway, a couple things here before we go too far, guys. Let's see, it is... Wow, better double check the time. Yep, we're almost to the bottom of the hour here. A reminder, we again would ask everybody to send out your prayers to Jack McLam and his family. Jack has been ill for quite some time. He is on, you know, respirator technology. It sounds like they're keeping him going, but it's a question about whether or not he could keep going. They may decide to shut off the machinery. They are not being callous on this. In fact, just a reverse. Jack had a living will already established. A lot of people he has already talked to far in advance of this. Everybody knows his position on it. There is no real big debate there except the wanting the family to be there, everybody to talk about it. Still, don't be surprised. I can't emphasize this. I've been around people too many times. Just because they shut the machinery off doesn't mean the person shuts off. And in fact, if he's going to get out of the hospital to a degree, that has to happen. Always remember that. Doesn't mean that he will, but I would, you know, case in point, people are a lot bouncier than everybody typically suspects. And when people get together, people who are like in the down mode, kind of, it rubs off on a lot of the other people standing there. rather than stepping back and accepting the idea that whatever the fate is of this moment, you're going to have to live with it, but be strong and always be positive. Especially for all of you men out there when we're in a situation like this, be strong and be positive. It doesn't mean that you're not going to get everything you want. We all leave this mortal coil at some point. But I truly, truly believe that it's the attitude of the people around, of the patient or the individual that's ill that makes so much of a difference. And you have to be positive. You have to be uplifting. That doesn't mean you're going to be cheering and chanting and laughing a lot, but you laugh with the person. You laugh around the person. You talk about strength. You talk about recuperating. You know the sorrowful thing I understand it's hard it hurts everybody that's involved in something like that But you have to remember as adults how it is that we pull each other through things like this guys We feed off each other strength Enough people that are boat anchors and it can reverse you reverse the situation it can drag a you know an environment or a person or a situation down So it's attitude as much as anything, but we understand I know for you know as long as I've known Jack McLan We know what his illnesses were We've never, you know, you don't talk about it because he was dealing with it. He has, you know, progressively seen the debilitating effects, you know, transpire. He was doing his radio program up until recently. And most recently, I'm pretty sure, again, I don't know if anybody's been taking his airtime over or if, again, they just let the programming lie. In other words, somebody else has taken over that air spot. I'll find out more about that here shortly, too. But if you could say a prayer for Jack McLam, a long time patriot, a peace officer who has always stayed focused, stayed on his course. He stayed on his subject, his area of interest, and how it related to the subjects that you talk about. If you want to do him honor, make a point of making copies of the Vampire Killer series. Get copies from his wife. She's there at his bedside right now along with the family, but remember this is a way to support the family and to support the person who has worked for so long on that particular area. Again, being a peace officer. We've all complained about that. Complaining is easy. I always understand how that works. Why hasn't somebody stepped up? Well, there are people that have. Well, Jack McLam, he's been around for a long time. Yeah, and he's one of those people who stood up. They forced him out of his job or wanted to get him fired so many different times because of the fact that he actually stayed on the job and did what he was supposed to do, guys. Think about that one. That's another reason we need to remember all of our fellow Patriots. Never changed, never been mean to anybody, always has been faithful to his cause, always has been faithful to all of you. We'll be back in just a little bit here. We're going to go on the bottom of the hour break. It's Thursday and it's the second hour of the intel report.

And their freedom and liberties have gradually been taken away here to their posterity. I heard those patriotic people with this country, I don't wanna take it anymore. Remember golden days, when the stars and stripes forever symbolized her glorious name. America. Now it's all been changed And when we gaze upon the glory It's hard to fight that feelings of shame Working up with politicians And corporations who have sold us out And the second tire that's sending Our soldiers of divorce That we were never meant to wish We want this country, we start it back The Intel report, everybody out there listening it is. here across that michigan winter wonderland but also around the country for everybody out there only a day away from pre-deployment for a lot of our malicious the advance party will be there tomorrow morning zero eight hundred zero nine hundred depending on the facility uh... already dug themselves out guys we've got a lot of construction companies uh... and independent people that have their own buckets we have uh... heavy equipment and our sites are all pretty well clear before the county roads are good are done in fact People are usually relieved when they get to the training sites because our roads are clear and waiting on the government to do it. Yeah, well you know how that is. So typically we also, the guys take care of the road for about a mile leading up to the access points. In other words, they clear off the road, push everything back. That way we don't have to worry about the county roads screwing up what's been taken care of. Whatever they mess up, we redress the rest of the way. Example are access points when the shovel trucks come along and just squash everything over to the side. Well, we're already prepared for that. Again tomorrow morning the exodus begins outbound for all of our friends headed north and headed west to the different facilities This weekend. We definitely have the mid-michigan militia meeting that is normally posted It will be at the usual location and mr. D of course will be speaking of the update We may have some of our friends with the suspect Ackerman coming over from Camp nagahitchum For that meeting Saturday night so we'll see what happens if we've got everything going after run over and grab a man drag him by the ear will actually just make sure we you know again have transportation get him off-site because uh... the beginning of series of classes uh... also again remember the assessment kerman rifle prints everything is being reviewed we've got uh... one little glitch that was already found in the uh... b five series rifle it wasn't significant as far as it would not have It was caught in terms of the measurements that should have probably been included and have to be included in the prints. The basic outline for cutting the component on the text was correct. Size and dimension was correct. So as long as you follow the specs and the instructions, the tutorial, then you would have accomplished the mission. But traditionally, we've included all of the engineering specs. to include dimensions, angles, pitch, you know, in particular metallurgical requirements for both initial material and for tempering. Everything so far is looking good and I want to thank some of our friends up there, again, in the thumb area for being the proofreader, so to speak. A lot of these guys are retired tool and die men who are from either GM or Ford. They worked in the tool and die shops. They've actually built a lot of other stuff for us over the years. They've done a fantastic job. In fact, equipping for the New World Order Part II, as I pointed out, if you watch equipping for the New World Order Part II, there's a reloading section. Understand that while they look to be fact-standard, All of those reloading and die sets that you see and all of those fixture sets that you see there on the wall that are on the shelves were all hand custom made by the tool and die, the machinists, well actually in this case tool and die makers, working out of the Ford plants and the GM plants in the eastern half of Michigan. the guys that were cranking out and have cranked out for many many years on site using all that fine CNC machinery, duplicates of what was needed so that we could crank out more ammunition. And what you saw in the video there is just one of very small fingernail scratching sites for a much larger project that we started back in 1992-93. It has expanded. One of our purposes are Michigan, the Michigan Militia Manufacturing processes It is part of share time operations, existing small factories that have the machinery. They do certain projects because they are either programmed into the CNC work or they are part of the hand tool, standard, you know, Bridgeport, Mill technology, etc., that is all manually operated. We have one machine that produces gas masks. We actually paid back in 1994, close to $18,000 for the mold to actually produce a mimic of the Israeli Civil Defense Mask. In fact, most people looking at them can't tell the difference. All the components are made here in the state. Some of the sub-assemblies we simply were counting on initially to be able to overlap with parts off of the industry shelf as far as baffles and diaphragms and such. Excuse me. Much like Barrett when he first made the Barrett 50, was using some parts off the shelf to initiate completion of the weapons. And as they ran out because they were World War II components, he then switched over to his factory component designs. The same is true with regard to making the gas mask that we presently make here. The mold is only a single station mold. It's on share time with a machine that does other infusion casting and the smaller components, the molds actually I think cost anywhere from $2,400 to about $4,000 for each of the smaller components, but those are multi-station molds. When we hook them up to the machine and we're cranking out parts, you guys may have even accessed some of these. The objective was to mimic exactly what was done with the Israeli masks. I think we can talk about this now. There is no difference. I think our quality was better because the Israeli masks, although they are German masks, the people who were doing the work here have been in plastics for a lot longer than most of those people living that have done the other work in other parts of the planet. While we can't do a whole lot, we just keep chugging away. The other thing is we also build a small copy of the NATO, actually it's more of the Russian juice can size tank filters. Again, it's a share time situation. When they have down time, they switch over to our tooling and they do what they can to create more of a deep supply system. We've been doing this for a long time. Our weapons, parts, operations work the same way. Anyway, we may have a caller there. Who else do we have? Hello. Go ahead, Gollor, jump in there please. Yeah, it's Russ up in Chiliklin in Jefferson. Hey, how are you doing? Fair to meddling. Hey, I just bought a Mossberg .306 and it's the first new rifle I've ever owned. And Henry was saying there's a special way to break in the barrel. I'm familiar with black powder. Oh, good question. I'd have to have Henry. He can bring up the subject. Typically what I do to break in a new rifle, needless to say, if you haven't shot it yet, the first rule is, I know it's brand new out of the box, but I would either, I would bench rest it, do not put it to your shoulder. I would not put it to my face. Now, that's not because I'm saying anything about Mossberg, but the basic rule is I always like to do a function test. Now that function test should be with your cheapest, you know, mid-grade ammunition, whatever you got, but at least discharge the guns. Three rounds. Yeah, well, one or two rounds. I just do one round for pressure testing just to make sure nobody had a bad day at the factory and mucked up and put the wrong bolt and the wrong rifle because you just never know. And I'll qualify that because we were some of the people that had some of those glocks that failed back years ago when the Glock came in. I remember that you were talking about that last week. Yeah, they were brand new out of the box, guys. One of our people, he's a president, so he's part of the President's 100. He's been a belly gunner for years. He had a brand new 45 Glock, loaded the magazine, and he put it to his face. He put it up in a combat stance. He thought, what am I thinking about? You know, I ought to just experiment. So he did what we actually did, is he stopped himself from making a big mistake, and he angled the weapon off to the side. held it away from his body and pulled the trigger and the first round the slide went past his hand the front of the gun dropped down onto the ground the front of the trigger guard area and he was left holding the back of the frame the magazine and the pistol grip So again, it was not that it's a play and but you just again as a precaution and I know that even at the factory They've done pressure tests and whatever but I just like to be safe any weapon I get it but to use weapon obviously but even a new gun out of the box It's a good idea that to do a function test use a factory load used to be federal was the cheapest but who knows nowadays because you know federal Remington everything is pricey 30 out 6 good choice Again, that's my preferred, in big caliber that's my preferred cartridge, but there's not as much of it out there. 308 is replacing it as the most common battle cartridge in terms of surplus on the shelf. In terms of rounds out there, I think there's probably three times as much to seven times as much 30-06 in private hands as there is 308 and or 223. Now, most people go, well, Mark! I mean, guys, I've seen so many tons and tons, you know, all that World War II surplus, all that Korean War surplus, all that Lake City 1968 National Match surplus that went to the shooters. Guys, it didn't get shot. It's waiting for the war. And there's so there's a lot about six you're gonna run into six all over this country And it's a battlefield supremacy cartridge to go ahead well what I always liked about the six was in comparison to 308 I could reach out further a lot further right well primarily I was using leaf sites now remember that that you don't want to do this all the time at that out six in an emergency situation 308 is nothing more than baby 30 out six Right, I remember you saying that they could be fired. Right, you don't want to do it as a regular issue, but remember years ago part of the national defense strategy was alternate projectile use. Now, going back farther than Vietnam in the Cold War era, if you go into the old American riflemen for World War II, this was printed in 1942, It's in the American Rifleman and they also did a manual, a pamphlet that they sent out which was a cross-referencing for emergency cartridge use. Now they had an A prefix, B prefix, and C prefix. A prefix was preferred alternate cartridge. B prefix was can be used but will radically distort the case and you know it'll be, the case will fail. But it will not it won't be harmful to the shooter Category C was yes, it works most of the time, but if you pull the trigger I have no idea how whether or not you'll survive in other words You could put it in the gun the bullet will go down range But the nature of the case is such that something might fail not necessarily the gun blowing up But you're gonna get back pressures and you know split cases and all kinds of wicked stuff The optics, again in .308, basically all they did was ratchet the dies down is what it always looked like to me because the basic dimensions are the same. It again is not your first choice, not your first choice, not your first choice, but it would be a way to keep the rifle running until you get your next... get back to your out sick depot. When I start shooting this thing, I'll put it in a tire or something to fire it the first couple of times. What do I do? Concentrate or just start getting the barrel hot? What I'd be looking at initially, I'm watching the action. I want to see if I've got any back pressure or something. Again, if it's hard to extract. The chamber, maybe course, there's a number of different things. Mosbergs are pretty clean, decent rifles. They're just, again, Chevy's. They're nice rifles. They've gone out a long time. I don't doubt that they know how to build weapons. But like I said, somebody on the factory floor can have a bad day, a Friday, they're thinking of going somewhere. Or somebody has an accident or mistake and they turn and they miscalculate. It's just one of those things that... In this day and age, we have ammunition available, so I always do, again, a systems test. You want to make sure, obviously, the barrel's pointed towards an impact point. We know that. Make sure that it gets what it's supposed to get. But what I do is, in fact, you're going to have somebody else pull the trigger. You can land your fire it. A lot of guys have test benches. They actually have test racks for the rifle. And you can pull the trigger and watch the action. The barrel's pointed towards the impact berm. I watch the action for flash, flame, back pressure, gas, exhaust, just as a precaution. See how it's responding. I doubt that it's going to fail, but new out of the box especially, but it's just a safety issue. If something does happen, you'll go, wow, that was a good idea. If it doesn't happen- Get it broke in because every odd six I've ever had prior to this time has been handed out I mean so you've said right or although there's there's some cut there are some companies for tuning the gun up We've had them up on the air individuals that have built kits for polishing and lapping The in breaking the barrels in now that's for customer competition shooting Basically what you're doing is remember that no matter how good the tooling When initially a weapon is produced, they're not going to shoot very many rounds through it for tests at the factory. When you break a weapon in, number one, I mentioned that the chamber is technically coarse. Now it's already been polished. It's already been, you know, first of all, it's been properly milled, you know, specked. It's been properly tuned. They usually do a light lapping on it or cleaning. In fact, I think Remington, I believe Remington, somebody posted a video that Remington did back in the early 70s that gives you a chance to see what is done to make the basic bolt-action Remington rifle. Well, the process is Remington used with the exception of one or two secret processes for their barrels with regard to how they actually build the initial barrel because back in the day they were making micro-groove. Everything is pretty well open for them and they let you see what the gunsmith does and now they pick the frame off, they pick the barrel, they tune the barrel, they tune the bolt, and how they final finish everything. So you get a chance to see what's already been done. But a virgin weapon, typically what you're doing is you're wearing down even the micro-fine abrasions that take place when metal is cut by metal. because if you were to bring a microscope in that little tool that cutting blade that does the reaming or does the trimming or whatever, typically it has very, very micro-fine jagged edges. Well, that creates kind of like a phonograph surface. Now you can't physically see that, but that in turn creates adhesion. And what we're doing is we want to bring those surfaces down or what happens is a combination of initial shooting material where actually fills in the crystalline structure of the barrel. Sounds weird but it happens. Either the material is a braid sideways and that actually fills it in with its own metal or it's a combination of the metal from the micro fine components of the barrel in conjunction with the copper and other materials that make up the bullet as they pass down the barrel. And those actually fill and smooth out the basic coarseness, which is again, when I say coarse, people are thinking, oh Mark, I don't see anything. And I guarantee that they change tooling and did a good job and the machine surfacing is exactly what they expect. What you're doing though is you're wearing in, you're breaking it into its optimal performance range. Mostly that can be done with ball ammunition or again whatever cheap factory ammunition you have. If you load your own, a consistent mid-range load with a 150 grain, 160 grain bullet is fine. And what you're doing is you're going to, through the process of use, lap tune everything from the bolt face to the slot that the case rim rides in on the bolt face. You're going to reduce resistance, progressively wear out the... It won't wear out, but you're going to tune in the chamber, and obviously the bullet's going to do its part to break in the barrel itself. The best thing to do is to bench it or bag it to actually try to focus on point of impact. What are you seeing in the way of spread? If it's fairly close, your bullets are going to be, again, if you benchmark it, especially with a bench rest frame, which a lot of people do, then you should have bullet on bullet with a little variation. But you'll actually see that variation depending on how far off the point of impact is. 50 yard range is a little close, but it does print, you know, again, it'll print accurately. You'll see a stringer or a flyer on occasion, maybe when she's firing new, and when I say stringer, I'm not talking about flying off the paper or anything. Your group should be about the size of a dime at short range, but you may see a bullet or two actually do a little fly with, you know, maybe a crescent outside of that circle. If that happens, that's because of a combination, it could be bullet variants. Again, still, the barrel itself is not completely tuned to the environment yet. It can be anywhere from, again, as we said, chamber, not a just... All these things I'm using are terms and tombs. of final tuning. We're talking about final burnishing but it's still called a distortion. Those distortions are so micro minor that for most of the shooting you're going to doing you wouldn't even care. But if you're a precision shooter, needless to say, then you start to work on particular issues. So as much as anything, most guys usually with bolt guns, about 50 rounds on the range, 25 to 50 rounds. And she should be pretty well where she's supposed to be hitting. Again, I'd use ball-knot lead, jacketed bullets. In the past I've had to lap some of our black powder weapons because if you were loading, you'd notice there was a hitch in the barrel. Yeah. And when you fire it, you get a patch from the torn spot. So I break out the four-ought lapping compound, some military pats and a jag, and just worked out three or four strokes. Fire it did it again, but when that soon as that disappeared I stopped right exactly It's gonna be wearing as it is well a lead ball and patch is very forgiving and not abrasive You're not gonna see a whole lot of problem there the objective behind using that material was for so that will conform to the barrel The one cool thing about all your black powder pieces, as you know, is it's all modern metallurgy. I mean, think about it. We've improved so dramatically the metal available in the black powder family of weapons. I mean, we can go stainless. We can 41, 40 chromoly. These change completely the wear and tear dynamic on the weapon, but it still doesn't change the fact that we have to clean it. You know that, obviously. Oh yeah. But for everybody out there, it does mean that you may be using a design that is 150 or up to 200 years old. You're using it with metallurgy that came out of the space age. So, the weapon's performance right off the bat is three steps up, four steps up from anything that was probably expected in terms of durability. In other words, how long will it maintain that high standard of aim? Back in the day, the metals were softer, the weapon progressively would tire. The oxidation process with black powder, it has its mark on the metal too. So, eventually the weapon would start to lose its center, and there's not a whole lot they could do about it. However, the most common, what you're talking about too, and I would point this out with all of our firearms, 90% of what creates drift in your barrel is the crown. Always remember this, guys, when we're cleaning our weapons, when we're using a rifle, when that bullet leaves the end of the barrel, The crown typically is not damaged, but it is taking wear. Now, when you do maintenance and use a cleaning rod, if you do it from the barrel crown end, if you're not careful and you don't properly guide it and that piece of steel hits the edge of that crown, you can create a jink, a dink, a distortion, and that will change the point of impact. Now, you also have eventually where you do so many thousands of rounds and people have used cleaning rods down the muzzle of the rifle that weren't you, you just, if somebody else has used the weapon, you can bring back the accuracy by back setting the crown. So if you have an older rifle and it seems like it's drifted and the bullet, it's just not keeping as tight a group, Ask somebody who knows what they're doing, you know, might be a former machinist or a tool and die man, and what they'll do, which we did with all of our K-98 Mausers that we have here, I mean that we have, you know, guys that I know, we have a couple of gunsmiths that, you know, for all purely so they could be armorers for the militia. What they will do is they'll take the older 8 millimeter Mauser barrels and they'll back set them, back set the crown, by about an eighth of an inch inside the barrel. And that barrel will tighten right up because there will be, once again, you've brought it back up to spec. You'll have a uniform release of contact between the barrel and the base of the projectile as it leaves the barrel. And that's really where most of your accuracy is lost, is around the crown. Not so much the chamber, not even so much wear and tear inside, Although there can be a snag, you can have oxidation, corrosion, it creates an issue and has to be dealt with. That can be meted out, but the crown is going to be the first area that probably is going to be the noticeable flag that when you start to see a bullet, you know, or start to see a spread in your pattern where it opens up a bit. Now, you can live with that for a while, but as it continues to spread out, then obviously, or if you get the weapon and you're a used rifle and you're looking at it, it's like, how can I fix this? You don't need to change the barrel. You don't need to necessarily do anything with the chamber. Look at the crown. You may notice that there's even a little ding because things can happen to barrels. Barrels are out in front of you. Barrels are down by the ground. Barrels are up by the tree branches or pieces of natural material or man-made material. And all it takes is a tick, a ding, a nick, and if you can't see it per se or you may not think it's critical, but that little bit of distortion to the crown of the barrel is enough to change completely the point of impact. Uh oh, and I've got a call. Hello, this is Mr. Floyd calling, this is Floyd. Go ahead callers. Uh oh, do we have another caller? No, that was just me connecting BC there. Okay, very good. We've got to be getting close to the top. Forgive me, I didn't look at the clock here. Yes, we are. Go ahead and jump in there callers. I think that was it for the callers. Did we lose callers? Okay, very good. Well, we're at the top of the hour. One of the things here again, when I talk about back sitting guys, think about it this way, taking the proper tooling, What we do is we actually push back and we machine back the face of the of the boar So that we machine back the rifling consistently a quarter of an inch into the barrel It creates a rad a very radical perpendicular step This process allows for the bullet to release uniformly Tightens the barrels accuracy brings a group back in where it belongs You can breathe life back into an older barrel simply by back setting the boar. It's a cheap trick, it's a quick solution, it breathes life into a lot of those combat weapons that we're going to need to be using in the future. God bless the public.
