It's all from the comfort of your computer. Visit them online today at mainmilitary.com. That's main, like the state, military.com. 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 to number. You trade it 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, their children, 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 to keep the torch of freedom running bright. As I awoke he'd 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 as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the light? And good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm R. Kurnkey. And I heard noise there. Do we have Daryl with us? I have breathing, which sounds like a lightsaber. That's probably me. I'm not talking, but I forgot to mute.

We're going to have to check on Daryl to make sure everything's okay there with Braveheart Radio. We'll do a spot check on that tonight. For our friends out there listening, it is Weapons Wednesday, of course. And so, face plasma rifle, faulty wathrange, oozy, nightingaleem, the communes, spot of flu, shotgun, hey, money, just what you see on the shelf. Well, wait a minute, we can't even find a spot of 12 right now. Wait a minute, don't see Uzi. Yeah, there's some of them out there, but even those are pretty well been bought up. Let's see, Spasco shotgun. Don't see a whole lot of those out there. I think there's a Spas 17 or 20 or something. And the AR180. Well, yeah, now the face plasma rifle is as likely as any of the three and the 45 You know long slide with laser sight. Well, you could probably find with laser sight but finding a long slide right now That's like chickens teeth. Also. What was the last time we saw 45 long slide just jumping off the rack? Yeah, see how the world has changed there guys. Yeah, of course the stuff isn't coming back to be resold. It just goes out and it just Doesn't come back Yeah, it's not like the good old days the gun shows years ago where you buy a toy people bring them all back in a wave and you rebuy them and then sell them for a little bit more but less you know you get for less and sell them for more and All kinds of good stuff that just didn't happening the way it was so Again, just a reminder there and another thing ammunition there was a question about 22 long rifle ammo this morning by one of our listeners Ron and Again, it's catches catch can and even there one of the things I really really question guys They all know they can charge more if you put match, target, super grade, you know, WABO ammunition. This is the ultimate. It'll do everything. Now, if it was Eli ammunition, I believe you. But you'll notice that most of the 22 that they're offering is super precision, oh, match grade, blah, blah, blah. But it's from the regular manufacturers or it's from some off-the-wall manufacturer that, you know, was some fly-by-neck company last week. They put a paper name on it and a cardboard box you've never seen before and as far as the manufacturer goes and it's on the market. So beware, that's their way of charging more for the same 22 ammo you used to buy for 79 cents to $1.59 a box. And it should still be around that price range. Well, it would be if it weren't for the fact obviously the digits are cranking out of the Federal Reserve, etc. The big thing here shop around find the best price pass it on let everybody else know what's going on ideally Standard round knows 22 is your best choice Consistency ease and fee and loading especially since one of the things about 22 weapons is there is a massive wide variety of firearms out there Feed ramps vary. Magazine jump to feed ramp to you know to chamber is quite variable There's a lot of unique on the hollow point or you know tapered hollow points that are out there that are you know supposed to be ultra fast Kind of got this conversation this morning if you're thinking about going in a certain direction with ammunition Test it in the firearms you think you're going to use now if it's a revolver uh... you don't worry about that because it's you know could go on the cylinder and pop pop pop which means here's the thing who might should have revolvers and some automatic handguns route at least one would twenty two works out pretty well if you run into an ammunition that doesn't feed well in your your somatic automatic blowback whatever you know light rifle or pistol Well, you can always dump it in that nine shot or a six shot or seven shot so you know, wheel gun H&R or Iver Johnson or Rossi or whatever you happen to have. And the cool thing is it'll go pop, pop, pop, pop. Your ammunition isn't going to waste. Now the other thing is, remember you're going to be acquiring ammunition or you may have to just buy what's available in the future. Once again, if you have round nose ammo, rather than handing it out to the people with the revolvers, you give the orphan ammunition, the odd man out ammo, to the guy with the revolver, the wheel gun can handle it. Same is true with bullets when you're in production with any other conventional handgun. Just because they charge $25 a box for 20 rounds or $30 a box for 25 rounds doesn't mean that it necessarily works in your firearm if it's a specialized bullet. And I'm going to warn you in advance on this because we've seen this before and it's something that again, it's why I emphasize ball ammo. Now I understand taking what you've got to take later on, but somebody has always talked into this is the next super bullet that will explode like a nuclear device when it hits and it will be nothing but chunks of meat and there will be a paraboot standing there when you have to hit the guy with it. Wow, really? Well, no, but it's the closest thing to that you'll get. Well, it's cool provided it cycles in the pistol. And remember, just like the .22s, in handguns there's a wide range of ways that weapons are built. Each family of gun has its particular curious idea of how things work. And because of that, different bullets, different projectiles, when loaded into a jacketed case, a brass case of whatever kind. may or may not feed that well in your particular weapon and malfunctions are not acceptable. Okay, it's something you got to watch out for. If you do acquire ammunition like that, remember as a first upload, in other words a round that's going in the tube, the way to consume it and or use it if you're in a tight situation, well the first round is going to be with that specialized round and everything else in the magazine is going to be ball ammunition. This way progressively you'll use up whatever it is you've got there. that it's not going to affect ejection. The biggest issue is loading. One cool thing, we were talking about 22, like stinger ammunition, hornet, bobcat, you know, hyper bobcat, stuff they came up with back from the 70s, and they've produced it on and off for the last 30 going on 40 years now, okay? Well, the cool thing about this ammunition is that it does do more damage, but... It didn't work in every rifle or pistol out there, which is something I'll warn you about right now. By the taper and angle and because of the open face with that narrow lip of soft lead, if the weapon creates a little bit of a stutter, especially with rapid fire where you're trying to go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, well, things move around inside the weapon to include, you know, it aggravates the trail and motion of that loaded case going towards the chamber. And what can happen, especially since remember, .22 is the cheapest cartridge out there, that soft lead bullet, even with a round nose sometimes will snag on the feed lip or around the face of the chamber. And that's where she's going to stop. Now to prevent that, again, trying to go with the most common and standard we know load that the rifle or pistol were obviously tested with, which would be the standard round nose .22, is your first choice. But with, for instance, stingers and hornets, some of them were hardened with a light brass or a light copper wash, which is a good idea. That helped a great deal with with feeding, but also in fragmentation, which is what they're really pushing for. However, because they're conical, tapered, they have a flat face front that's slightly wider than the standard round nose, and because they're hollow points in almost all cases. Those rounds, while they are devastating and I know they're hot at short range to intermediate range, two things, you have to test them in your weapon. And number two is accuracy. Most of the hyper-ballistic, hyper-velocity 22 rounds, when you put them into a rifle, the farther you go out from the initial event, from the muzzle, the greater the spread, the variance is much higher simply because of all the different physical properties of interaction and the fact that again it's a cheap bullet but for short to close-range defense which is really where these these were designed to give you more stopping power uh... or game getting knocked down power if you hit what you were shooting at and again uh... if you're looking for accuracy pinpoint accuracy pop them in the eyeball now you may most the time you will but sometimes you'd a couple of the edge of the eye socket the other time you might cross the those there uh... or you may drop it down into somebody's upper two upper upper jawline break a busted bunch to you know people you know recruit a bunch of chiclets what's going through scraped along the pallet boston back of the head or something you know that kind of thing and run around like a baby because it follows a path of least resistance But accuracy will vary with these hyper-ballistic loads. This was all tested years ago. They tightened them up a little bit in the second wave of testing about 1992, 91, 92, but not much of a change because they understood what the purpose behind the round was. They wanted more energy, they wanted more energy on target, time on target delivered shorter. And again, still the issue is, depending on what they were built for, you want to test them if you're using a semi-automatic weapon. uh... and it's a handgun that's going to be a defense gun lot of guys are carrying twenty twos is there can't happen which i don't have a problem with just carry lots of ammo you can and understand limitations of each each tool in the toolbox has its advantages and has some disadvantage or some variance that has to be taken into consideration when you're using it hammerless guns, hammered guns, double action, single action only, 22 center fire light calibers, center fired intermediate calibers, you know, center fire, oh my god, you need wheels for that revolver because it's so stinking big. You know, everything has its uniqueness and issues, but it also, as long as it works and you bring it to the table, hey, I ain't gonna complain about you showing up to fight. Know what I mean? Well, he didn't bring this or he's only got that. Hey, did he just show up? Well, that's half the battle right there Don't worry if he feels he has to do a little adjusting of the toolbox Aren't we gonna be shooting those knuckle dragging black uniform moose over there? Well, he'll upgrade real quick or he'll change out as needed But we just have to make sure we don't damage too many of the goodies those guys are carrying So remember you big riflemen aim low to the crotch blow their ball. Excuse me blow their groin area out and take your butt cheek and slap it against that wall in that urban warfare situation that way you can hand it back to him on a plate before he dies. Look, this is yours. Here you go. Anyway, the point is, try not to damage the goodies. Aim for spots where you know you're going to bleed them out and do major damage. Strip them bare butt naked, get on to the next one. So, whatever tool you do show up with, out of the toolbox. Now, another thing about ammunition. Right now, 53 grain AK-74 ammunition is showing up. It's three times the price it was when I told you to buy it. And as I pointed out, most of these things that we've been emphasizing when they first were available were dirt cheap. And I told you they go up in price. They have. It's not a surprise. It's just the natural cycle of surplus and how it works. However, the 53-grain AK-74 ammunition that's out there, the 545x39, is still some of the most economically priced ammo, considering the scale and the slide on ammunition prices. So, if you have an AK-74, I highly recommend the stuff. You've probably already shot it. There ain't nothing to really write home about. It's a straightforward round. Works first time every time. And all the AKs, Bulgarian, Romanian, if it's a 74, it works. So the 53 grain is a good choice. I highly recommend it. No, it's not fancy. It's just reliable. And it's in cans, which means it's stored, which means it'll work just fine. Oh, interesting. And again, economically priced, it's still the best price, even 7.62x39, it outdoes that right now. And the comparable, well, the three top rounds for affordability, 7.62x54R, 7.62x39, 5.45x39. 223, if it's surplus, varies and is up and down the scale, and you can pay any price you want for 223 and 308. literally, even now, as we know. So, .308 being the heavy caliber like the 762x54R, and if you've noticed, the AKs, look at the specs, look at the range, look at what's available. I like those 308 AKs. But again, magazines are going to be an issue, but they're still good tack drivers. They are a solution weapon for a drag-and-up type weapon. The 545x39 in the light rifle and the 762x39 in the light rifle. Several Bulgarian models are coming through right now, and the Romanian M10 being the latest of the AKs in Romania is another interesting design. uh... there are the new polish uh... rifles out there they've come in to a degree in several different companies are carrying them problem is that the burrell there like about about one thousand one hundred dollars apiece and those are in two to three of anybody who noticed that uh... the new uh... those are because of their cooperation the uh... polish government's poured out to the uh... you and they got bought paid for the economy in poland is taken a hit big time up down left and right because they're second the resources out of poland that means that uh... poland should drag the uh... management out bow their brains out because they obviously have betrayed them and are screwing the little guy again as they always do no different the communist from the west end of the communist from the right ended you know, forgive me the east end. So it's just the latest batch of parasites going in and screwing Poland yet again along with the Czechs. They should know better. They do. They really need to go with pitchforks and secure this bunch just like they did the other bunch to get the job done right. Because the West ain't gonna do nothing for Poland, but pee in their face and backstab them. It's all that the kosher mafia is good for. But their logic is that, well, the government in exile was, you know, never given a venue to talk about how they were betrayed before World War II started. They were all told to shut up. And then, of course, the Communists took Poland and... So anybody else who had a good understanding of how they were betrayed by the bankers out of France and the bankers, the Jewish bankers out of France and the Jewish bankers out of England? Remember the Sith Krieg in the beginning of World War II? They promised that if Poland started the war up and did a little espionage, and they could blame the Germans, which they did with their propaganda, and then sit on their hands why Poland ended up having to fight a war that was a promise to be a two-front war, that it ended up being Poland. Only campaign and then the Russians came in from the east almost like it was planned Yeah, yeah, see history and they're trying that right now They're planning on the same thing with betrayals upon betrayals yet again. So be ready for that Poland. They're screwed Polish people they just hit after hit after hit they need to walk out hang the buggers that are there Poland for Poland Poland without all the other BS and They'd be strong They wouldn't have their resources sucked out of them the way they are being sucked out right now. Anyway, on other stuff. Poland's plight is not ours to concern ourselves with. We have enough problems here in the US. Real quick, another piece that Henry posted, and I know this is Weapons Wednesday, guys, but... well going back in crocodile tears i don't trust one back for anything he did fake yet the fake crime routine is all the time and he's a show for the kosher mop anyway mit romley finally admits what we all knew they had to steal the republican nomination for ron paul A new documentary about the life of Mitt Romney reveals a loosely hidden truth. Romney and his followers had to heal the Republican nomination from Dr. Ron Paul during the 2012 presidential elections. The documentary called Mitt was aired at the Sundance Film Festival near the end, Romney States. And forgive me, I just read the short version. I'm going to have to bring up the big one. This is not a surprise, this is an example of where if you don't know how to fight, when you're in a dog fight, you bring ducks to the dog fight, you're in trouble. Ducks make great noise and they flap a lot, but the dogs usually eat them. And that's exactly what happened because people went into this, we're all starry eyed thinking, there are rules, and they'll follow the rules. No, you're dealing with criminals. You have to beat them beat on them while you're beating them You have to beat them up. You have to hit them back when they hit you Okay, let's see the documentary called myth was aired at the Sundance Film Festival near the end Romney states In some ways, we kind of had to steal the Republican nomination. Our party is Southern, Evangelical, and Populist. And they're Northern, and you're a Mormon, and you're rich, and these do not match well with our party, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, the Mormon part's not so much relevant as the idea that, of course, the whole idea that Mitt Romney was, again, from Massachusetts. uh... literally yankee uh... but yankee another way and very much again a soviet a ring knocker that the big thing had worry about their but acknowledging that you had a candidate stole the nomination doctor paul true patriot with a threat to the establish establishment what would have happened if he'd been elected immediately uh... audit the federal reserve the federal secret would have been revealed and would have been shut down causing all sorts of hullabaloo in crony land many people criticize those who refuse to vote saying that their uh... it uh... absence is part of the problem when the elections are completely reagan your vote doesn't matter why would you participate in such a scam voting under these circumstances implies consent to be governed as the old saying goes if voting actually change anything they'd make it illegal of course we've talked about that many times on the air so for everybody out there again check that out it's on from the trenches will report dot com sundance film festival by the way as a sub note is kind of interesting only in that uh... a lot of stuff that was opposed to show up or it was posted with finance typically by somebody else with another agenda and it didn't go the way they expected remember waco rules of engagement was financed by all that's right old mister ci himself that you know robert redford and it was supposed to be a hit piece against the Branch Davidians, which is why he paid for it, guys. But as all the information had been over, they couldn't find any way to reshuffle it. And the more that they worked at it, the more they found out that, well, so when it went to the Sundance Film Festival, it didn't end up being the warm, fuzzy rah-rah for the Batfaggots and for the Fed that Robert Redford wanted it to be. See how that works? So, again, a lot of little nougats come out of places by accident, active god, whoever you want to look at it. You know, the best laid plans, the rats and rodents, you know, try to twist something one way but end up fumbling the ball because enough information gets out that it actually gets picked up and carried as a very different tool. The same is true of the series America. You know, we were talking about stuff disappearing from or, you know, being edited and never seen the light of day. America with a K, remember, was shown once on ABC. If you have the copies which we have which are the original VHS where it was taken right off the network when it was run, we have copies of that version and we have what was called the producers copies that were the only surviving copies of America. The reason you can see America with a K on YouTube is because what america with a k was pulled it was never played in rerun guys that's where hollywood makes their money filler material especially a miniseries miniseries were played over and over again on different networks all over the country not necessarily the national and they're also marketed overseas because there's a big foreign market for stuff Well, America, after it was shown one time, was never even shown in the normal cycle rerun process that the networks had at that time. It was boxed up. Almost every copy was destroyed except for a couple of producer copies that were put into a private collection. Now, the reason that you can see America with a K from the factory, so to speak, is because years later the producer died in the 90s. And what happened is a woman bought part of the collection of movies, literally from the files from the ABC network, and made them her collection. What happened is she went through and found out that America, she went through the inventory, saw that America with a K was there, and offered those on VHS, which she could do because she took custody of them. Now then, later on, they've been reproduced on DVD. But that's the way that you're seeing America with a K. Otherwise, it was gone. It was made to disappear. Stuff that's from the old ABC movie of the week, as I was talking about if you've been listening to the program, stuff that never would be aired except that they were eating up so much material and they needed to fill so many hours of television time that they just started cranking stuff out under the logic that it was fiction. Well, the problem is that, for instance, aerial spraying, an aerial warfare spraying by countries against each other, becoming the norm in the 90s, was in the movie series or in a television movie piece that was done for ABC Movie of the Week back in the 70s. and virtually maps out every aspect of what now you people would be talking about or know about or are knowledgeable about on a daily basis if you're into, again, the truth medium and the alternate medium where stuff is actually put out there as opposed to the controlled ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox, FAUX news networks. So the database is there. And with the promise trying to find the original copies of these things, they have been made to disappear. Unless they're in a private collection and eventually somebody cracks a vault and finds the stuff there, they're gone from history for a reason because they don't want any paper trail back to where things came from. Or they don't want people to think. America with a K, go through it step by step, take a look at what you're seeing in the United States right now. Yeah, see how that works. So again, you can't say it isn't possible because a big chunk of mapping out, you know, the map out that was done was right there for everybody to observe and to pay attention to. Now, it actually uses a teaching tool to be quite honest. Anyway, that's again, holly weird. I would remind everybody also, there are a lot of other weapons. You know, I know we've been talking about the AR. I've been pushing the AR Aries armor, Polymer because they're the best price in the country. I know there's a lot of other companies that have the same Polymer receivers. They have them cast from the same parent company that does all the others. But for $50 a unit, they're the most affordable of the bunch for you to go in, pick it up, carry it home, and you're done. And that's one of the reasons that I've been bringing this up to everybody, or intentionally why we've been pushing it. It'd be nice if they were a sponsor. Actually, I've been trying to get a hold of them the last couple of days, and I'm going to see if we can get them as a sponsor. We'll see what happens. uh... i'm not worried so much about that you actually have benefit of a weapon system we can put online magazines ammunition parts are everywhere you can build it once you're done in fact you need to build it in an intricate fashion with every stinking little part learn to put it together or you can buy modular which is the beauty of the air fifteen and in a couple of purchases you have a complete liberty arm but it's not enough to be weapons out there uh... the problem is as I pointed out, is surplus is becoming less and less available. New weapon systems certainly are being developed, and as I pointed out, one of the things coming out of the SHOT Show, I hope the guy was there, and I haven't seen you write up yet, but remember, there's a gentleman that has actually built a true AR-AK hybrid, the way I would buy. In fact, I would run out and find it. They basically took the, the AK system is pretty much intact as is, but they took the most critical AR-15 feature and applied it to the AK, and that's the magazine well. You make the AK reliability with the AR-15E's, you know, easy use magazine well, and you're talking about dumping around so fast nobody will know what's happening. That carbon issue is not going to be an issue with that gun. You could cook thousands around. You will not be able to hold that weapon, but that weapon would still continue to function. The big thing is the ease with which you drop and dump and reload. Dump and reload. Drop the mag, insert the next. Pop, tap, work the action, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So again, there are some neat new weapons that are out there, but they're going to be new weapon prices. The surplus inventory, as far as what's going to be allowed if we proceed at least at the pace and the level we are right now. In the pre- or environment, they're obviously doing more to block stuff to begin with. So the higher priced stuff is going to be where it is. Down the road, you get into a war, gun smuggling and all the other fun stuff is going to be happening because people are going to try. People are going to do it because there will be profit in it. That's just the way the world works, the way it always has. Food becomes short, people smuggle food. People smuggle things. Well, arms and ammunition are going to be one of those things, especially in wartime, that are going to be pushed for more than just the quote-unquote official channels. So just being able to understand that. Now, then anything and everything you can imagine will show up. It'll be a big deal. Hey, Mark. Leave it, you know, basically. Okay, we've got a caller. Who do we have? This is Mark. Just real quick, that AR-8K hybrid is currently being produced by Amendment Arms. Yes. Yeah, it's pretty cool rifle. I was just I was just curious did they get it to the shot show though because he was Last videos I saw he's pretty well perfected it in fact he had several variants that were prototyped That were on the on the bench, so I would assume that he probably took a finished model to the shot show And it doesn't stay here just I'll keep reading and let you know. Go ahead. I'll cut in and let you know. The reason I bring it up is it's an excellent idea. Basically what he did is what Daewoo did when they built an entire crown, a whole new weapon. It was the beginning of the independent Korean armament industry. In the past, the Koreans pretty well have copied or produced what they already had from hand-me-down as far as American armaments. They built a copy of the AR-15, the M16A1 and M16A2. Then Daewoo decided, you know what? We're Korea. We're going to make a Korean rifle. And so what they did is they took American bolt. The critical wear points are American. The magazine well is the traditional AR-15 magazine well, pop and play. But the action is the AK gas system for all practical purposes, a beautiful solution. The rifles are phenomenal. We have tested dozens of them before they stopped bringing them into the country. And we were starting to buy those in force because Korea offered them for a price of about $200 less than a regular AR-15. a brand new rifle out of the box came with five magazines it was you know with a limited lifetime warranty if you don't use it as a crowbar if you don't do something stupid with it the warranty covered it and a lot of guys bought bought the weapons until all of a sudden they realized all the americans are buying something that really works in the koreans are benefiting Now, it doesn't mean we weren't buying AR-15s, but the Daewoo was the best of all solutions at that moment in time and still was a good firearm. I don't have any problem. In fact, if they were accessible, I'd recommend them, provided they were reasonably priced. Again, a crazy price on them because they're a collector's item. That's for a certain niche of people. But as a service utility rifle, the Daewoo is the precursor to this rifle that Amendment Arms is building. And it's a good idea. I'm not excited about folding stocks. I will say that for everybody out there. I know everybody, that's just one of those things where it's like an extra do-dad. Where it's like, yeah, well, not only that, we've got a folding stock, and then a side folder, et cetera, is most common. The AR180 used a side folder. The new AR180 that takes standard AR15 mags instead of AR180 specific mags. that had a folding stock whether it was made by the US or made by sterling of England or made by the Japanese all three variations built that were out there and a lot of them in the US Those all carried a folding stock as a standard. Now they did make sniper configured AR-180s that were used in England and were adopted for a period of time. And those ended up in Ireland to a certain degree as captured guns by the IRA, et cetera, too. So those were floating around, but not on the side of the water in any big numbers. There are a few examples where stocks and systems were brought over. It says here that they're calling it the Joshua this particular model is called the Joshua MK 5 They asked you that's an 895 dollars. There we go. There's a phone There's a phone number here. I don't know you want me to give it out. Yeah, give it out No, I don't have a problem with that. We'll find out more we need to we need more people and you know check it out go ahead Yeah, yeah numbers 828 676 0225 That again is 828-676-0225 or you can email Tom at info at amendmentarmsinc.com. That's Tom at, email Tom at info at amendmentarmsinc, all one word, dot com. Info at amendmentarmsinc.com. And yeah, it's a beautiful rifle. I love it. The AR-15 and the DHA, you know, stitching. It's where they put the two, like I said, the best features now, we don't need the buffer system in order for the rifle to work. And by the way, where the buffer system that the AR-15 has came from, that is the one significant feature that was pulled from the MP44. The MP44 uses a similar spring buffer mechanism. The buffer trail actually is part of the bolt group. And the way it works is the, in fact, it wasn't even a tube, the buffer tube is actually simply a bore station through the wooden stock on the MP44s. you take a look at original the eight k are actually you could there is a way you could incorporate that but it's not critical or an issue the rifle itself is just as manageable as his is an eight k system the cool thing is that that magazine well features the significant fire power uh... expansion idea that's the one thing that a lot of people the eight k the pivot i know people perfect the technology if you've watched the russians they've got a cute cool trick where they they take the loaded mag they slide it along the bottom of the uh... trigger and the trigger group and pat would basically does is tap the release drop a push the MTAK mag out and even as it's falling they swing right around and insert the new mag and clack it's in place. Now it is a positive locking system like on the M14 that uses a pivot system also but for a lot of people they get nervous if they have not had repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition in practice introducing that magazine into the well. Then the AR-15 mag as an egalitarian, as a pro, you know, as a, he's on a learning curve and getting there towards survival. The AR magazine well is much more forgiving. And it's just again, a solution that to me, it's easy for everybody to understand. It goes in the bucket, you tap it once, make sure it's locked, and then work the action and bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, you're back in the service. And so it looks like they added all the critical features that were really cool, that were useful. The back and forth, the only thing that is another change from the AK design, which is a preference thing. The original AK post system with the muzzle sight. It was a good idea. It works, obviously. You all have had AKs. You've made them work. They function flawlessly. But bringing the front sight back over the gas system was the other feature or the next significant change in engineering process and machine process for the AK. You're seeing that in the M10 which came from Romania. I believe that Amendment Arms, he was experimenting with that. I don't know if they actually followed through on that. I've seen the earlier videos. I believe they actually did move the site back out of the gas system. Is that true? I can't show. Okay, just you'll notice it's right on the right on the up on the top of the gas gives it the FN FAL look is what it does. Yeah, you're right right on top. Yeah, see, and that's right back. Yep. Yeah, see what that does is it takes a takes material away from the muzzle area, which is a good thing because as I pointed out, guys, when you're going through a tempered environment brush, The rifle is used to kind of poke your way through, and with that extra sight up front, certainly it gives you some push factor too, but what you're doing is streamlining the rifle a little bit that way. Nothing I can't live with with the AK, but modifying it in that direction, that's the next significant feature change for the AK family that I think we can expect to see everybody leaning towards. And the reason for that is economics. If you build that site post up front, you have to have a whole machining process to build that site post station and pin it into place. You mean the site post right above the pistol grip? Like on the 8K, the site post is right above the pistol grip. And on the hybrid, the site post is like way forward of that. Right. Well, no, I'm talking about the muzzle front post. The post itself, the M10 brings it back and puts it on the gas system. Now the reason that they did that, to be quite honest, is now they make one part that does two things. It's the gas system and the front blade side rests on that. So you don't have another installation at the end of the muzzle. If you're looking at cutting cost in production, you can make that crude and rude and you can eliminate a lot of it. Let's put it this way. If you were to cast that as one chunk, And if a country were really in a hurry, they'd use nothing but a two-step grinding tool and make literally the blade would be ground right out of the chunk of metal and have the yoke left and right to protect it. That would be crude, but it's something that's been done in wartime production. Now as it is, the sites they're putting on are fully adjustable, but it's part of the gas system, so it means there's only one part that needs to be cast or that will be milled out or will be stamped. and then they do the finish work on it and it goes on the rifle. So they've eliminated a couple of production steps and they've eliminated an entire assembly by bringing that site back over the gas system. It's a multi-caliber receiver so you can use 223 or 7.62. Oh really? So they actually... Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, let me see, using steel, 4140 steel and 6061 aluminum and yeah, multi-caliber. Well, that makes sense because you can use 760 by 39, 545 by 39 and 223 in AR-15 mags. And it says 5.56 NATO ammo as it is standard accommodate and also 0.223. But the receiver is multi-caliber, meaning you can use everything from 50 B-wolf down to 0.22 long rifle, including AK 7.62. If you want to use anything larger, 308 for example, you'll have to wait until we manufacture our next product. Right, stretch out the receiver. And then it's an SVD type receiver for that, an RPK receiver. That makes sense. Well cool, that answers my question. Again, I had to admit it was a shot show then. It is one of those weapons that is the next generation past surplus. If we're choked off on surplus, then what's going to happen is this is going to open the door for people looking for innovations or looking for other ideas or a new weapon. That's where they're going to have to go. And so the cool part about it is, is we're also seeing the next cycle in engineering processes, you know, that will simplify and make the weapon more reliable across the board for the operator, for the individual militiamen. And I like all the features they've incorporated so far are all common sense. There's nothing that's really, you know, super exotic. I just keep it simple stupid you want it so you can still integrate as many parts as possible that are from Rex or from the inventory that already exists and Again, even with the magazine though, they haven't gone to know you'll notice everybody is hovering around the AR-15 mag for dimensions guys It's either the AK mag the the or the or the AR-15 mag for the light rifles Now there's a few companies have made magazine specific weapons But there again, are they taking as much of the market if they don't take into consideration that they should try to go with something that is reasonably priced and readily available Then they kind of boot themselves off to the side The su-16 which is you know be made by kel-tech it uses AR 15 mags They do build their own 10 round mags for that that are actually made in the factory, but that that rifle will take standard AR-15 magazines all day. And that was the most intelligent move for the design of that rifle. So, again, things to take into consideration. Like we said, some of these new semi-auto light rifles that are showing up that are pistol caliber rifles are using Beretta mags. If they were smart, they'd be using Glock mags because what's out there now? Now, years ago, it would have been a Browning high power mag. Why? Because if you want large capacity but still use a pistol magazine because you wanted something you can integrate with a handgun, The only real large capacity 9mm mag out there was Browning High Power. But the world has changed. There's a lot of other toys out there. There's tons of Glocks. And so the Glock mag makes sense because there's tons of Glocks. use glocks, new glocks, large capacity mag glocks, whatever you want as far as the factory or non-factory. So they're cheaper and that means you can have more mags for that new toy that you manufacture that way. The same is true with if it was 45. I still am amazed there are no more 45s actually being generated in light rifles than we've already seen. And if they are, like the Marlin camp carbine, they went with an intelligent process and used a 45 pistol magazine, which was a really cool feature that, you know, again, makes it very, very affordable to keep that little light rifle in service. Anyway, go ahead. Anything else, Mark? Jump in there, please. I just wish you could buy something like this paperless. Well, yeah, I know. Well, you will actually if he's in country and things go to hell in a hand cart, you will. It just will cost more probably too though simply because the value will go up and how you have to pay for it will be another matter. you know i have i would point out i just something i want to qualify on here to because you know people keep putting something in our in the in the general media dot at patriot media or economic media you know as far as you know like new york times whatever well the government keeps putting money guys the government isn't printing money that's one of the biggest palaces and we need to stop talking about that if we should be saying as long as the government keeps generating digit Most of what they're creating has never had a piece of paper to match it in its life. That fictional digit they're pulling out of their arse. If they did have paper in circulation, it would force them to actually slow down. So understand that while they do show you those pictures of those hundred dollar bills going, so fast that it sounds like a whine rather than a tack, you know, because of the tap of the printing press. Instead, it sounds like a wine and that's only producing 6% of the digits. That's why the price of ammunition has gone up. That's why I hope everybody pays attention to what we warned everybody about here. Meat prices are going crazy. Not fish prices, not the seafood because of the problems there. We're talking meat prices. and they have continued to creep up on a steady basis for the last four months and again talking about nancy's you know both point us out this morning we didn't bring up on the air what i wish it up but guys there's gonna be another significant meat price jump why because those meat companies are not being owned by america anymore and now they're going to gouge america for everything that they can't well that's going to be reflected in all the things that you're dealing with uh... in fact burger joints the burgers are going to get thinner Not that they aren't thin enough, but what they'll do is they'll waffle them out, put bigger holes in between to waffle them out. What they do is they put them through a runner that splatens them out and puts more pock marks between the spaces like a checkerboard. You're going to see a lot of stuff that, again, we're supposed to get used to, but people aren't going to like and won't get used to. Arms and ammunition are no different. One of the problems is we do have wars going on overseas. They're desperately trying to still pull us into that BS that the Israelis and the Saudi Arabians have created with Syria, and that's all a dirty lie across the board, and that's how we should all treat it. But because of that, consumption of other materials, it's not going to come here. an example 7.62x25 you all know and I pointed this out time and again you know I don't want to hear somebody say well Mark told me to get this this toker oven no I can't get ammo and I will qualify what I said every step of the way I know hopefully nobody has said that When I told you about the Tokarev pistols, I pointed out that it's cheap surplus at four cents a round for Tokarev ammo. When it was four cents a round, did you buy a pallet of it and put it on the shelf or cases of it and put it on the shelf? And you didn't go out and do stupid things like, hey look, I got a whole bunch of this stuff. Let's just burn it and throw it into a dirt pile. Look, it's fun. Where you're practicing intelligently or you're just spitting bullets down range. Now with it was four cents around then you should have kept buying more and if you did want somebody to do that You should tell hey get about 40 50 dollars together. We'll go buy a 10 a.m. Oh and you can pay for it We'll go shoot it But I hope you weren't you know I'll look all the stuff I got murdered in the ammunition up left and right because you see it went from four and five cents around to seven cents around to nine cents around to twelve cents around to 25 cents around to oh by the way if you'll notice the only surplus out there now in 7.62x25 for the moment is corrosive 1950's Bulgarian. Remember all that other ammunition you were shooting that was newer and cleaner that you shouldn't have been shooting, you should have been keeping on the shelf like I told you and you'd get the dirty burning stuff like that and use it up but then you also have to clean your weapon. Now the 7.62x25 was a great buy and a phenomenal purchase. So much so that a lot of you guys do have a Tokarev and seven cans of ammo underneath each gun Seven ham tin cans you'll be able to use that Tokarev and really burn some bullets when the time comes The same is true with a 7.62 by 39 7.62 by 54 Guys, it was $44 a can remember those days and it's not that long ago It was $65 a can not that long ago So, don't burn it, but remember, as I've recommended things, there is a reason for this. And part of the reason that that price doubled isn't because, you know, anything significantly happened with the stuff is so much better, or even that there's a shortage, so much as it's that Federal Reserve scam that is gouging you now, and it's reflected across the board, and it's becoming more and more obvious. Even in the dollar stores. Hell, dollar stores aren't even dollar stores now. Everything in the store is a dollar. No, now it's a dollar 25 and a dollar 50. And this is all the same surplus they were buying before, but it costs another 50% more to buy the same product now. And the price is reflected. So expect that with everything else. At a given point, that's going to change. People are going to have to rethink money. The big thing is to remember, they didn't print enough paper to go around. They weren't printing any paper, hardly at all. Only 6 cents out of $1 in digits that are floating around out there is backed by any kind of paper. And a small percentage of that is also coin. which is, you know, again, part of the factor here. They're cranking out more widget, you know, widget numbers. You're going to see prices do stupid things here after a while. And it's because everything is so, it's so out of whack. It's like I said, it's like the best way to describe it is remember the old nuclear symbol with the, you know, the atomic, the atom symbol, and all of the orbits of the electrons were consistent? Well, this is a distorted crazy atom. Where you've got these really bizarre twists and turns and you know irregular electrons almost to the point of a nuclear, you know fissionable reaction Because that's really what's going on. So be prepared for that purchase intelligently Try to do what you can to put the best equipment you can on the shelf for the price more and most important is more for less We'll make it work, but more for less if i see a good deal or any of you people do we need to share it we need to make sure we take care of each other in that process it is not an if you're going to go to war now it simply a one because there's nothing on the horizon that can fix this. The war machine that we need in place has to be tactically employed and tactically deployed. When I say that, I mean, no, we're not looking at a strategic battlefield with mass in force and the traditional battlefield board that everybody would think of. Tactically, we are deployed at the user end and it's user friendly. That creates a totally different formula on the battlefield. That's why we've gone for the macro motion. I don't argue with anybody about what you think would be the choice in arms. The big thing is that if you're going to commit to something, commit to it wholeheartedly. Do what you can as quick as you can. We're at the top of the hour, and by the way, that means weapons Wednesday for the afternoon is pretty well done. Dan's going to give us the music here in a minute. I hope. It should be out there somewhere. Anything else, Mark, before we go? Nope, I'm good. Tell you what, clothes will be here. God bless the Republic. After the New World Order, we shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is under a war on the mark. We'll be back in just a little bit here. Meanwhile, Ed's taking over at LTR. And in the end of the talk, radio doing their part. It is Wednesday. Take the time, go out, enjoy the weather, acclimate, and exercise. Bye-bye.
