Live 365 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 plan, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom from being bright. As Iowoki vanished in the midst of 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 watching tremble to afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside you dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms He fought to keep what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the foot you're live Don I think mark will be along any second now and This is the evening intelligence report. We are live I believe we have Don with us here. You there, Don? You got me? Maybe head step away for a second there. Why don't we play a little tune and wait for Mark to show up? Maybe Don will... We're gonna rise up with the sun in the morning. And we are live, gentlemen. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies. east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the homework network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida from the bottom of Florida to the north of Mexico to the top of the Texas Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, Wyoming to include both 3rd and 5th pit and our friends in the recall state of Colorado waving to the left coast to the great state of Jefferson a shining beacon of light in an otherwise dark piece of real estate occupied by the Soviet. We turn back to the east sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smoky slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers, bringing us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million Petticoat Junction operators get the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, tell you what, it is a beautiful It's a cloudy afternoon. It's starting to break up. Long strings. We've got Don with us there. Don, what's the date today? Let's jump it off in your neck of the woods. Hey, it's the fourth day of June. You're of our Lord 2014. And it's turned out to be a rather nice day. Kind of steel gray blue sky up there. Calmer than it was, although there is still a breeze. Beautiful day in early June 2014. And it is a particular day, so with that in mind, trusty 1911 in one hand and magazine in the other, you know, flat to the palm of the hand. We've described that action before so that it just indexes right up to the magazine and nothing is in the way as the palm of the hand makes the magazine move home. And then we can touch that slide release and man oh man, the one on the top of the magazine, it's in the chamber now. And it is weapons. One's day the perimeter is secure and there's plenty more where that came from. And that means we can offer equal opportunity, coercion, force, the ability to continue to function under any circumstances with that hand cannon as a standby. If something happens to your primary, the hand cannon is always to jump to the response through the, of course, use by the operator of that secondary dispatching tool. Well, interesting thing. About the 1911 guys, we almost didn't get rid of it in the 70s when the proposal was to go to another firearm. There just had to be this change to the 9mm Parabellum round. Of course, we ended up with the Beretta. A number of different firearms were offered. Gee, American designs were available and would have been a better choice in general anyway. But one of the designs that was proposed, number one, was a simple reconditioning of all existing fleet 1911s that were available, the 1911As, A1s, et cetera. And that was step one, being the most cost efficient way to upgrade or rebuild everything that we had in the inventory. Taxpayers would have been spending minimal. You would have benefited by not having to go through all the nine millimeter nonsense to go all the way back to, oh, that's right, 45, which is where we are now. Again, gee, after the fact. So what is interesting is that if they'd really wanted to, and in fact the poll program was developed inside the Department of Defense, inside the Army, did not require any super special contracting, was a 9mm conversion of all 1911s. Anybody remember this? Now the interesting thing is that it would allow for a semi-staggered magazine capability by the nature of the difference in size between the 9mm Parabellum and the .45 ACP round. Even if straight stacked by the nature of the frame, the weapon would have had a greater magazine capacity to begin with if they had gone with a tight, straight, simple magazine and a magazine spacer insert, which is typically what was done by colt when they made contract nine millimeters in that big but you know nineteen eleven frame the process would have been about one to one tenth the cost of buying new weapons and would have extended the life of the nineteen eleven you know into the twenty-first century or actually beyond the idea that we needed another foreign gun. And since we've come back full circle where most of these departments, agencies, and even the government-military complex itself has gone back towards the 1911 in several variants, We would have spent less, had fewer problems, and would have been carrying a standard American firearm every step of the way, which we have progressively gone back to. I'll bet. Now built by many foreign powers because our own American manufacturing potential was damaged by the Shysters, the internationalist slash manipulators. Now, That 9mm conversion was mapped out, was again demonstrated in its perfection in the civilian market with the 9mm that I just mentioned, the 9mm 1911 type pattern or 70 series pistols, which were also done in 38 Super, you might recall, and are still being done in 38 Super. 38 super in the old days was actually 38 long colt automatic or was considered to be 38 colt at one point in time or another. So the cartridge was not really a new idea. The long case 9mm rounds were in fact a dominant standing feature in the turn of the century period from about 1902 on with many different countries. They'd already gone through the 9mm Parabellum. Everybody thought, well, we can go with a longer case and get more power, which they did. And 9mm Steyr, 9mm Largo, 9mm Colt or 38 Colt. All of these cartridges are 9mm Parabellum on steroids. So even as it was being pushed to go to 9mm, a larger case and with more energy, a little more, you know, all across the board had already been proposed as the next logical step, and yet we went back to 9mm Parabellum. Now, I've got lots of 9mm guns laying around here and there that are in reserve around the state of Michigan. And I've had them for years. When they were, again, why? Well, they were cheap and affordable. Back in the day, I could buy a Steyr magazine fed stripper clip fed pistol for about $45 to $70 guys, because nobody knew we'd get the stripper clips, except we did. And so they were out there in force. 9mm Lugers, 9mm P38s, 9mm Steyr or Astras in any number of different flavors of design to include the Astra 600 were out there in force. I should note though by the way in the mentioning the Astra that the Astra 400 is actually in 9mm Largo. The 9mm Parabellum variant, smaller, more compact, was a promotion that leaned towards gravitating around the standard Euro cartridge, Euro weapon systems of that time, dominant with the German, Polish and Czech industrial complex. They'd already gone to, in fact had first gone to the Largo cartridge and then again stepped back to the standard 9mm parabellum. So there have been other solutions rather than just 9mm parabellum to get more knockdown power out of that same bullet. Or again, being able to carry a heavier bullet because we've got more of a case behind it to give us greater powder options, etc. But that 1911, one way or another, is chugging along to the point where we've gone full circle. And today we see it now in greater force than ever, I think, because we have so many flavors of the day, so many variations in how it can be built. Short slides, chubby stubbies, standard 1911s, long slide variants. competition variance where you can spend $3,000 to $4,000 to $5,000 on a handgun. That's not even getting to the rifle. That's just a handgun. And all of them that, well, John Moses-Prowning designed that worked oh so well from the get-go. and has been around now for over a century. Something to think about. I can't think of, although the Brown Best was in service for probably almost as long in one form or another with the British Empire, there are few weapons that rate for longevity and consistent performance and still performing to the level and standard of its original introduction like the 1911. In other words, in its full scope of 100 years, The basic mission has not changed, no significant modifications were made to the munitions that were necessary by the very nature of the design and its thought out purpose. Now the Brown Bess and other weapons from that era, although the Brown Bess has actually the longest running record of the family of weapons for the Black Powder era, The Brown Bess was still in service somewhere in the Empire right up and through to the middle of the 1800s. Strangely not. Make it into a breech loader. Yes. Think about the considerations. The 1911 in its basic form. The only thing with the difference, that will remind everybody for those of you who are not familiar, most everybody is selling a 1911 nowadays, guys. But a 1911 A1, the only difference Well, a 1911 frame and a 1911A1 around the back of the trigger loop where you have the frame, they decided to machine out just a little bit of the arc there where it came to a corner and create more of a rounded bevel on both sides of the back of the trigger well. The other thing that was done was a filler or an expansion of the back strap of the main spring housing. Those are the only two changes. They are ergonomic slash cosmetic. They do not change or alter the function of the weapon in any way, shape, or form, but were designed to accommodate from one direction smaller hands from the other direction with regard to the main spring housing to fill out the palm so that the weapon was more effectively rested into the contour of the hand. You may notice though that the majority or lion's share of what's being produced right now has a flat back strap where that accommodation, the A1, which can be easily added by the way with any, you know, the changing of the mainspring housing, you can make the weapon, you can take it halfway to being a 1911 A1, but there are no significant physical modifications that change the operation of the weapon in terms of action. It's like the cosmetic difference between an M16A1 and A2 and what they call the M4, which is a joke. All the M4 is a way to try and desperately take the stigma of the M16 and make it disappear by giving it another number. They had no business changing the nomenclature. It's purely propaganda and cosmetics and fufu. Otherwise, It's an M16. If the Supreme Court wanted to, they could call it a sawed-off M16. Yeah, exactly. It's a short one, but no, it's not even that, really, because the Car-15 was already there. Well, but don't worry, they'd ignore that anyway. The Court's being the way they are. Exactly. So again, that 1911, still a good choice. A lot of them out there. Forgive me, we have one company, but it looks like they've sold out. 1911's for $329 a piece here guys for a little bit. Apparently everybody found out where they are. A couple people I know here very close bought them. They're Filipino pistols just like the arms corps, the rest of the arms corps guns and such that are coming in and the Rock Islands. And the fit, the finish are all excellent. Again, if you're looking for a 1911, most all of them that are out there, even though they might have some other race name on them as far as the sporter stripes on the outside, it's a different Camaro from that other guy's Camaro that's being driven. It's got blue stripes and a red body. No, I got a red body and blue stripes. It says RS instead of SS. Yeah. Exactly. So again, for everybody out there, the advantage is commonality of parts, interchangeable parts, the standards have been met and maintained. The 1911 is very forgiving with regard to, again, modifications. and is very versatile in that respect. Now I know a lot of people like their chubby stubbies. I'm not excited about them, but a friend of ours has four. And for as big as he is, he likes the Para Ordnance 45 chubby stubbies because large magazine capacity and very conceivable. When you're a big man, yeah, you can carry two or three of those. No one even knows you've got them on your person. Seriously. I mean in his pockets. OK? So, I mean big as in tall and not big around, just big. For him, it's the equivalent to carrying a double-barreled derringer when it's in his hand. That's what's fascinating. One of his hands is equal to a mine. Let's put it that way. The variants that are out there, the long slide, I highly recommend, though it's harder to find than ever before. I've noticed this, that the 1911 long slides Other than the hyper custom guns are just not there the way they were in the past. So if you run into an AMT 1911 hardball or in a long slide, you know like the Terminator likes so much with a big glaze of sight on the top. Well, that gun actually is a very, very desirable weapon, but trying to find one, not many people are coming off of them, guys. If they got them, they're keeping them. Why? Because they like them. They're there for buying them. That's right. So again, if you do run into them, you see one of the yard sale or something, grab it, snag it, put it away. And again, just clean it up, make sure she squared away, and start buying more mags, and more mags, and more mags. On that note, something else I wanted to bring up here, CD and in investments. I mentioned them earlier today. and Cope's Distributing. Both have a few magazine buys going on right now. loading your gun with one hand or you know dropping that mag getting another mag in there or bringing the slide back with one hand. Oh the cartoon goes like the guy operates his slide with the corner of a brick wall. Over there all the glocks gasp. The 1911 looks at the glocks and says, yeah so what? Yeah, I do this every day. Yeah, so what? Of course the SIG Solid 11 are TAC-OPS, TAC-OPS, TAC-OPS, or TAKE-OPS. 45 ACP. Oh, well, you're looking at $700. Oh. But it's a SIG. Here's the thing. How many different guns has SIG made? And yet, because of what's happened in the market, guys, remember that they weren't making 1911s before. But they are now. What does that tell you? Think about that. SICK wasn't making a 1911, but they make a 1911 now to get into the market. But you have to understand that any slide gun is a variant of, isn't it? No matter what it says on it. It's usually made from principles. Oh, wait a minute. ATI FX45 military 1911 size, 45 ACP steel, blackwood, eight round thumb safety FS, $280 shipped after MIR.

We've talked about these 1911s there. christiansonarms.com. And Mark, they build some of the most beautiful 1911s in the world. They're made from the maps. steel. Everyone is different as a tiger is different. Everyone, most pleasing to the eye for about $3,700 entry. That's their entry level one. But go there and just look. People buy those guns. Man, oh man. Must be nice to be rich. If I was rich, I'd have one of them. You know what Damascus blades look like? Imagine a 1911 made from folded and folded and folded Damascus steel and then all of that cut out of those billets. Again, the entry level ones with the standard barrel at nothing special or particular $3700 and that was about maybe two years ago when we first brought that to your attention. I'll be quiet now. You know what's fascinating is for all the different guns everybody's making, even Ruger of course has been making in 1911. Everybody, I mean literally when you look at the market guys in the 80s to the 90s the idea was to come up with a 9mm pistol that would be the Supreme, you know, Cats me out and or the next design in 45. It is interesting that we have come full circle back to the point now where while of course Colt used to be the king of the 45s, if you wanted a Colt, you know, you get a series 70, you get the latest they've got. Colt lost their edge, lost the mark. Part of that because the Italians took them over and they screwed the country, which is exactly what we warned everybody would happen, and it did exactly as it unfolded. The skilled trades were all screwed that were at Colt. The characters they brought in were all hacks. And we had M16 slash AR-15 rifles coming out of Colt that literally just would not work. When I see it would not work, that's pretty hard for Mark with an AR-15 because he'd give me a bucket full of parts and as we find a problem we'll keep changing it out until we can make it work. Guys, we had colts coming brand new out of the box from Colt and you just couldn't get them to reliably function. Okay, so the 45, their 45 shop had the same problems, not quite as extreme because it's harder to muck up a 45. It's a very forgiving gun. It was designed to be a high tolerance, you know, a high slop tolerance pistol. It was designed to make revolvers obsolete. That's the mission he thought he was on. When he figured he was going to do it a different way, he wanted to do it in a different way that would be as reliable, if not far more so. And there are those that will debate that. And don't forget the big holes part. Yeah. Oh yeah, well again, the whole idea that half inch. We did go full circle. Everybody did this both with rifle and with handgun. The logic was with new smokeless powders that progressively we could go smaller and that velocity would make up for weight. Now, to a degree, that formula can work out. But the problem is, in rifles we went from the .30 caliber and the .8mm and 7mm weapons all the way down to an M16 type cartridge in the Lee cartridge. The Lee rifle. Slightly more than a squirrel shooter. Yeah, 6mm. It was carried into the Philippines by the Marines and the Navy. And it was carried into the Boxer Rebellion in China at Peking. You know, slash Beijing to the but Peking Peking back then. Okay. The six millimeter was virtually a it was a heavier bullet. But with comparable performance to the standard M 16 round in a military ball round, it was a pencil bullet. Heavier grain, well actually 70, 80 and 90 grains. Starting out with the 80 grain they developed a training round that was lighter for, you know, again saving munitions, reduced recoil and for, you know, training on limited ranges. But a bullet that was almost twice the weight of the standard M16 round but still pressing about the same velocities. When we say pencil bullet, it was a rounded nose projectile, long, of course, very narrow. In theory, the application would have been lots of pitch and yaw. When it hits, it should have tumbled, but it really didn't do that. In intermediate and close-order fighting, the problem that most Marines pointed out, including a couple of honor winners, is that the 30-40 Craig with the 30-caliber bullet had a tendency to have that much more weight, 150 grain to 165 grains, and it had more thrust, more surface to make contact with, so it usually had first-round kills. However, the 6mm required in some cases 2, 3 and 4 shots to put down an opiumed up boxer rebellion infantryman who was trying to chop you to death with a mayhem sword or with a meat cleaver. We're gonna go to break anyway, you know picture that where hmm Which would you want to do you really want to get close enough? You can smell his breath when he tries to chop you to death or you'd be killing the greater range. Yes Well, the 1911 pistol came from the same problem and that they went all for all the way down from 45 to 9 millimeter and smaller and it was not successful So they went back up again. They acknowledged an error It's very important. We're going to go to break down. We'll be right back, you guys. You know, the intelligence report, Mark and myself. A short break. We'll be right back.

The whole team's mission is to do that. We're going to deploy a five-man team. The five-man team will have all replacement new equipment, although again, I can get it for a pretty good price from the wholesaler end, guys. Plus, we watch and I've been mapping out the clearance sections. But when we deploy, we'll be pretty well squared away. It'll all be good gear. And when we leave, that good gear is all staying there. In fact everything that I can short of a simple pair of clothes, you know, set a, you know, pair of pants, a t-shirt, pair of underpants, socks, and a shoe, you know, pair of shoes, obviously maybe a light jacket or something depending on the situation. Everything I take, with the exception of a few things, will probably be worn or re-worn out. Toothbrushes will stay for weapons cleaning. Anything in the way of personal toiletries are left behind because the people there can use them. especially soaps and laundry detergent stuff like that if you bring it along or if you buy it there in place leave it the only thing you need to take is your hairy hind end enough clothing to cover your hairy hind ends so you don't look too embarrassing in public and go back to the rest of the world where you came from and again pull the rest of your stuff off the shelf now some people are going oh my god mark it would be really expensive no no it's really not you know that if you've mad if you listen to what we've talked about I'll give you an example. If I go to www.rap4.com, and I want to outfit a bunch of people just real quick, get some stuff on their carcasses. Now I can go to keepshooting.com and a bunch of others and do the same thing. But right now they've got assault vests, several different models, and camouflages. So whatever will float your boat or fit your needs. Well, they've got eight color right here. This is one I'd probably go with simply because it would match out with the environment. They've got eight color camouflage, which is multi-cam assault vests with a pistol belt hanger on the bottom of the vest for $29.95. Now it's got all the pouches, pockets, molly stations that I need to do anything I want to with that vest. Price, $29.95. Now I'll throw a $3 pistol belt on the bottom of that, add about two more canteen sets, one or two other items, I'll get a utility backpack for about $8. and I'm ready to deploy. I'll have all the other goodies and stuff on board and inside that I need, spare socks, underpants, etc. And all of it, where I have it on hand, probably they're not going to want my underpants, so I'll probably take those home with me. But everything else will stay. You take the gear off, it goes into the issue inventory for the troops on the ground. That's part of what I consider the cost of deployment in a situation where the people that we're supporting may need more material support and we're beefing up the deployment in the process. Now, there are a whole bunch of other items out there. By the way, Rap4.com. They have the desert cammo assault vest for $39.95 right there the wrap for let's see it's the clearance model 2009 version Regular size and it matches up with all the other camouflage that we're deploying out there So that would be kind of cool, but for $29.95 I can get multi cam which of course if I don't have multi cam don I'm just not in vogue Again, I can also get ACU camo too, guys. So if I wanted to go the ACU route, and by the way, I have been looking seriously at that. Right now, ACU is a drug on the market. There's piles of the stuff everywhere. I can get grenade pockets. I can get mag pouches. It's a dumper item right now. I'm not going to last like that, but it's a dumper item. The government's moved a lot of it out. Different companies, if you go to their clearance or their MOLLEGEAR sections, they have gimmes like 5 furs or 6 furs on the ACU pouches. So the other option is they might go ACU. Out there it would work better than most places because it is a desert dry environment and those grays and gray greens and the tans that are in the ACU, well they'd work out there but they don't work in most places. It doesn't work here, it's a shoot me uniform in Michigan. It would be okay if I had to keep outfitting troops and eventually we're going to break down and probably be buying more of the ACU as we buy tonnage of stuff. because we are buying gov liquidation stuff here we've been bidding on it and I know we're going to get some. The ACU would be all separated and progressively built up so that all of the equipment that matches would be together. Not a bit of something here, a piece of something there, that garbage needs to end. There's no reason for our troops not to be strapped and squared away because bargain basement, you know, government material is out there, it's just you gotta shop around. But if I wanted to go out right now for about a total wimp, probably a whopping total of maybe 60, 70 dollars, I could get all the basic gear in place that I need and be pretty squared away. Be highly confident that I'd actually have some pretty good equipment to deploy with. And when I left it, I know somebody would be getting some pretty good equipment to deploy with. So that's one of the things that needs to be taken into consideration. Most for the least, if I were staying around here and I were looking to outfit a lot of troops, I've mentioned this many times, Woodland Camo is out there in force. Example, I even have several of the Woodland vests here, $29.95, but French CCE, one of our guys in the chat room pointed out, Sportsman's Guide has the French CCE vests, which are their Molly type vest with again, pistol belt hanger on the bottom. and you always install the pistol belt and add pouches to the base. You can carry more when the weight is distributed like that. The cool thing about the vest is instead of single strap hangers pulling into your shoulder and collar area, instead it's distributed over a wider space so you have less felt energy against the skeletal structure and the muscles. That helps. But you're still carrying the same base weight around the perimeter of that vest. So you can add mag pouches, you can add your canteens and other gear, and keep it low center of gravity. Just something to take into consideration. Don, jump in there please. I'm sorry. Oh, don't apologize. It's hard to interrupt Mr. Corn Key when he's on a roll. Well, one of the things here too, again, we're talking about deploying with night vision. Now again, we've got the first-gen rifle sight, which by the way, guys, because of its purpose, is probably the best single purchase you can make right now in a night vision device. But Don, do we have anything else in a monocular for just hand carry or pocket carry that is available in your inventory? Well, some of that stuff is going over to white phosphor and some of it will, again, because it's not a gun sight, it hasn't been the high draw or demand. But we've got a small piece you guys hand-held, a focal lens, the front lens, not as big as a silver dollar. It's an entry-level piece. Again, the bigger the front lens, the more light you gather. This is a good short-range piece, although it will focus to infinity, and you'll make out the horizon. You might not just make out a lot of what's there. Again, a bigger lens is always good. That piece the company wants like $195 for it you guys I can probably put it in your mailbox for that now It's it's a little you might think it's equivalent only slightly bigger than what used to be the known that fit in your t-shirt pocket device It'll read Numbers out of the out of the phone book. We'll focus that close for you, but again There's something with a bigger front lens that's still first generation. I can't offer a price on it right now, Mark. It doesn't come to hand. I'll have to get out the paperwork and look it up. But we've still got a first generation gun sight that would come in at 4 power. I'll have to work on a good price for that. Again, the 2 power was, I think it's about $40 cheaper. So that's why we concentrated on that, that 350. That's the company designation 350 Guardian for that first generation device. I'm not certain. I wasn't even able to get a number on how many of those are left. I'll have that for you tomorrow. But you guys, again, when that's gone, there will be some of the power left and then there will be some of the 6 power. And I'm not certain the gradient up to 6 power in that first generation gun sight. But again, it's a bigger lens. It's not just the same. diameter front lens to go up in magnification. If you want to talk to me about night vision devices my phone number is 231-796-8458. Goggles are gun sights. Greens, greens are thermal. We've got a second generation gun sight. We go five of those you guys that goes 212-48 instead of $1300 right in your mailbox. My number is 231-796-8458. We talked earlier today, Mark, about different rifles and shotguns at an auction. What are you trying to build? Whatever. What are you trying to make? Well, I just need a little button firing pin for a single-shot shotgun. I can't get a part for it, so I'm going to make one for it. I can get a hold of some metals, different kind, but I'm not sure what type I should get. 4140 chromoly is probably your best choice. 4130 or 4140, but you're still going to want to temper it too. Of course. As a firing pin. You can go with stock. I don't know what the... I'd have to look to see what the temper grade would be for, if you could find out what it would be for Remington, Savage, or any of the others, it'd pretty well be consistent in the industry. But even if you did just a stock steel 41.40, it would last a good time. If you were to figure out how to make it and continue to make it, then I would duplicate it immediately multiple times over. Because once you start doing it, you might as well make more than one. In other words, you're going to go to the effort to make a firing pin. This is a one shot deal. I just want to get this little gun going again. It's just ordinary firing pin, the kind you see in your single shot shotgun. It's no longer than 5'8". Right. The way to do that with that striker system, is it a hammer? Yeah, okay, well then then a 41-40 piece of probably what you can go with this flat stock But you know as thick as whatever your crossbar is or however that's set up and then what you do is cut out your ghost pattern to begin with for the basic design and then obviously rat file the rest of it down or Dremel tool it down progressively to spec If you have a machine, you can do whatever you want. The Grass Hut version is with cheap hand tools. The better solution if you have a good machine shop, you know what you're doing. You should be able to duplicate the firing pin perfectly. But 4130 or 4140 chromoly is probably still your best bet. Now, one of the things to remember is there are different metals that have been used because one thing about the, remember that by the very nature of what it does, there are two processes that you have to take into consideration. You have a concussive strike by the hammer as it strikes the firing pin, number one. Number two is the concussive response of the discharge of the activity of the primer and the actual charge of the main charge of the shell. when it activates. That creates a second harmonic or resonant vibration through the weapon. And it is a consideration, especially with regard to firing pins, because they are held in order and contact with the activating primer. And so they actually have a resonant wave that goes back through the frame, but it goes through the firing pin. So that's one of the reasons that case hardening is an issue. You don't want it brittle, obviously. It will pop and snap on you in one form or another. If I had to do it one way or the other, I'd rather have it a little soft and too brittle. And non-hardened means simply the better the metal that you use, the longer it's going to last. Shotguns are pretty forgiving. They're not as radical as, say, large rifle cases, but they still have that issue. Again, forward thrust and reverse harmonic wave as it moves forward, back and forth. So, just going to use a piece of 5-16th rod and turn it down to about 1964 for the firing pan tip and just hand fit it from there. You're going to cut it on the lathe first, that's what you're saying, right? Yeah, I'm really good around the... Well, here's an idea since you're doing that. You might have a perpetual piece of rod stock to work off from. Like I said, I would crank out if you have your chart and you're calibrating your laser, you can do your progressive cut. I would do like we do when we make AP bullets. I would just make one, bring it down to a point where you still have material making contact, and I'd make another. I bring it down to where I have material contact and remember allow for about a sixteenth to an eighth of an inch excess of material. You can always cut back but you can't glue metal back on as you know. But you can make a consecutive series of firing pins so you have those in inventory, at least the basic cut, as long as you're going with it on the machine. Your first one is all going to be set up. I can't remember the name of those metals. I haven't done a lathe in years, but I can do it. Just a little pin, I can do that. Is it a programmable lathe or is it just a conventional? An old-fashioned lathe. Okay, well then you're going to have to make it work. Okay, well it's not a problem. I still, like I said... I can run a long time. Because your stock is going to have to be heavy enough and long enough that you can actually chuck it and mount it into the lathe. So you'll probably have more material than you certainly need for the firing pins. So if you've got the pattern basically worked out, if you're doing like an 80% or 90% cut, I would make three or four of them while you're standing there. One after another, just in line with each other. And then you can cut off to excess and then trim back and start doing your fine tuning like you're talking about. Yep, okay great. Thanks. I could remember that I have to get a dash sheet on this stuff, but I thought I'd ask you. Thanks I appreciate that well I'm gonna you got my curiosity up because I again I'm familiar with some of the the tempering requirements you know bolts for instance some of our guys have built You know virgin bolts to try and replace you know specific older orphan systems There's a lot of companies out there you might even want to go into the internet and look around to see because a lot of people are doing this kind of work now and they've already done the research and So if you find any of these shops or like groups where they're doing AKs and ARs and some guys do shotguns and they recover and reclaim older weapons and resurrect them that way. So that's a good idea. You've got the right idea. I fully agree what you're doing. The big thing is somebody else probably already invented the wheel, if you know what I mean. Yeah, it will be far very much. This lawn is reliable whenever it's needed. Yeah, and then you make a few, like I said, make a couple extra firing pins. If you take off your butt plate, you have, remember that channel for your screws, you know, your primary stock screw? Well, that's a storage point for all your spare parts. See how that works? Because usually the cut into that stock is anywhere from three to six inches deep, and that's a lot of space for little tiny spare parts, isn't it? Sure is. So you grease them up, put them in a little bag, grease them up, then pump it full of grease or storage grease, whatever you want, or cosmoline, or PLS2 or whatever. You spray that on everything, put it in a bag, spray some more in the bag, seal it shut, stuff that in the buttstock and you've got your spare parts right there and then just put the butt cap back on and she's good to go. And the parts will always be with you in the field, so if anything ever goes wrong, you've always got those spare tiny parts there where they need to be. Okay, great. Thanks. Thank you very much. Very good. No, good question. Thank you. I'm going to look that up myself to see if there's any variation on the theme. Single-barrel shotguns are very, very, very, well again, bicycle work guns, guys. Remember that. Bicycle works. H&R, bicycle and gun company. Before H&R was a rifle or a shotgun company, they made bicycles and they thought, wait a minute, tubular frame, wait a minute, we're shotgun barrels, hey, we can make something else here and make some money off of them. And they did, and the rest is history. So, pretty cool. Anyway, I tell you what, we are headed towards the top. Don, I don't want you to rush. Night vision technology, we've already talked about, again, an alternative for a hand-held pocket unit. Rifle sight, first generation, whoever gets there first gets the last, and when they're gone, those are gone, guys. Don, what's available? And how can we hold you? And what are the changes coming up? Well, we're looking at the end of the green screen in first generation. We've talked about this and talked about it. We thought it might go out to the end of the year. That was the thought line at the beginning of the year. But when we brought this to everybody's attention, well, they started to go out the door. Even you might find these devices now, you guys, because a number of them went away in big lots, like not the big lots, but like to Gander Mountain. I don't know what Gander Mountain is going to ask for that Guardian 350. You'll see it in some other places now, but that's how the portion of it was reduced so quickly, I'm told. But we got some of them, didn't we? Hooray. That was a good move. Now, we can move up and first generation to a four power or to a six power. I think the four power is $40 more than what the 350 Guardian was and I think it's progressive to the six power also. That would be $80 more than the 350 Guardian I think. But I don't know when those will run out. So beyond that we're looking at a second generation gun sight and again five of those in a lot purchase would bring that price to $1248. So that's $52. And that's right in your mailbox. That's $52 off of the $1300 that I was offering it, including delivery. My phone number is 231-796-8458. Hey, earlier we talked about a an estate sale, an auction, watched a lot of guns go out the door. Off of that same table Mark came a Leatherman made by one of the gun companies, Colt or Remington, I don't remember, but it was a very fine piece even if it was made in China. You can contract up. You know that. You can contract cheap and you can contract up. And some of the gun companies, you guys, when they put their name on some of those Leathermans, they are as fine a tool as you will find in Well, it might be an exaggeration, but a lot of Dennis's office. You know what I mean? It is a little precision tool. When you fold it out, there's no wiggle. When you need a wire cutter, it's there. When you need a screwdriver, it's there. Let's go back to the little things in that 1911. You know, it's good to check the tightness on the screws on your grip every, just every now and then. Because you know, that gun's a lot more uncomfortable to shoot if you don't have any grips on it. If the screw is somewhere between here and the last 17 or 48 miles, well, you've got a fat chance of finding it, don't you? It's good to check things like that. That leather man will be a wire cutter for you, a screwdriver. If you look into that type of a, not venue, it isn't necessarily the best. If you look into that series of tools, Look up a little bit if you can if you see one at a gun bill a garage sale or whatnot a swap meet that is like a Remington occult or the original leatherman you guys you'll find a lot of them out there and You know what the corners of that square blade of the screwdriver aren't bent yet When you fold it back together, it doesn't all torque sideways because it was so cheap that when someone used it as a screwdriver, they twisted the whole body. Some of the leather men are really fine tools. Some of them are really cheap. But if you get a good one, there might be a day when you want it right at hand and that little leather man would really come in handy. and we are at the top and everybody should be carrying a Leatherman tool. If you run into them especially, the estate sales and such, and reasonably placed, grab them, grab them, grab them. Don your number for night vision again. You'll be available in just a minute. That number is 2317-968-4580. Again, I mentioned Rap4.com www.rap4.com. Go to their clearance section.
