A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The 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 is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, 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 burning 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 in 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 fought to keep what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? I'm just curious Ed. There we go. Can you hear me now? There we go you got the music background. Wait a second. I couldn't hear you didn't hear you at all so I just played music Wow, I've been going. I didn't even show you on the conference line dad. Oh, that's cool. I hooked up. I never hung up Mark. Okay. Okay. Go ahead call her. That's Larry. I didn't know what was going on. Oh, sorry Larry. I didn't realize you were there. You come up as an unknown on the conference line. Top of day gentlemen. Well good morning and who else do we have? This is George Patriot. Go ahead George Patriot, what do you got? I know it's not weapons wins 2x39, rifle's in, $39 plus $20 shipping. Chrome bore? They are the... Original Sega's right? Yep. Should have Chrome bore sent, okay. Okay. And they're in the Monte Carlo style. The number is 8-9. Again, that's in the phone number. 731-8976-0173-1989 Very good. Again, the Sega's, I wouldn't change them. I'd focus the money on magazines and ammunition. Especially right now. The only thing I'm going to change on mine is I'm going to put a bullet got it. And that's over with the standard AK magazines. Oh, okay. Your Sega doesn't take the regular AK mags. None of these do. They have to have a bullet. The bullet got into them. Okay, well that's interesting. There are variants that do have, in fact, remember there, that's the, I would assume that at least the ones that they've been bringing in, there have been both types available. I would assume that the newer ones, of course, this could be a batch of something else too, but that's cool. Either way, again, the Sega is a Russian made rifle, Russian manufactured. And so there isn't anything, if you want to get an AK and you want to like the ones the Russians carry, well that's about as like the Russians carry as you're going to get as far as for the action and receiver and the internal parts. Built and you know finished over there. Anything else off the wall there at that particular place? Anything else unique? They do have some extra Are those in 308 or in 760 by 39? They do have the arm light, police straight in from Fresno. How much do they want for those? 619. This actually Fresno, California stamped? Roger. Okay, so that's another batch because the ones that we've seen they're police trade-ins, but they don't have any ID markings on them. I didn't know a couple of guys here locally bought, you know, they bought I think three or four of the other ones that were from Centerfire. The one that they got, there are two different color shades for the anodizing They are obviously, they've been rifled, they've been car carried. These are 16 inch with A2 butts and they do have a few with the foam, with the collapsible stock. But if I had my brothers, I'd take the A2 stock. Yeah, well the interesting thing, what about the color? Very dark, light gray, shade of gray, what's the color range on those? The ones, I don't know what. I don't know why something had come on, I'd rather not have that. Well, I'm just curious because a lot of these seem to be an earlier rifle than I expected. The ones that the guys said they got here from Centerfire, at least two of them have the earlier AR-15, the M16A1 shade. to the you know the end I think in park rising depending on what part it is so they're there in the lighter shape whereas you see the later rifles and the aftermarket going into the black going to the darker slate you know the slate black range all of those are mil-spec colors you know for ever advertising and for parker I think the part So it's a mix even though they're the serial numbers and the manufacturers as far as the company that made the rifle Apparently they had more than one brand obviously, but they kept buying the same basic configured weapon So this is another batch I haven't seen before but they're obviously trading into you know Whatever or switching out to probably full auto from whatever they had Since they obviously had AR, you know semi auto AR rifles originally go ahead. Okay. Anyway these like I was saying These are the they do have the two complete but all are my like why I could see they don't have a bayonet lug do have the eight it's like a black finish Interesting. Well, the bayonet lug they might have taken off. Does it have a little voice boxes from Fresno, California, right? These are from Fresno yet. Yeah, when you put it pull the trigger there's a little button you push and it goes stop you savage stop Stop you savage stop Right, that's part of the auto safety system. You can't pull the trigger until you push the button That's why they had to get rid of the rifle. They just ah man. This is embarrassing. Please let us buy something else And they did but they put the same system out so it didn't make any difference and they're all frustrated now. Yeah only On the magwell it says restricted for government or law enforcement use only Well darn that's all thrown out the window cuz we're buying them Now what are you gonna do? We are the government Yeah, exactly. We are, yeah, we the people are the government anyway. Well, we're the ones that pay for it. They, of course, figure that they're the royalty and we're all peons. By the way, real quick on that note, the John Adams series that was done by HBO is showing up on Amazon in a couple other places. Apparently it's been sold as a package. Just a heads up on that. You might want to talk about We the People, you know, we being the government. Pretty interesting. I loved it. I highly recommend that show. Well, I like the part where he goes out and rides out after he's heard about the British going to Concord. My favorite is if you pay attention, there's British soldiers here and there in the woods and people are helping their neighbors and people are helping the other wounded casualties that are militia. But you'll notice there's not a whole lot of anybody fixing up those red coats. They're kind of like laying there bleeding to death. So, just a case in point. I'm sure eventually they were scavenged off the battlefield or scuttled away somewhere. But, yeah, if they didn't survive the first few hours, they probably came back just to get them off the road, nothing else. So, interesting, a very good series though, actually, with several points that are brought forward. Anything else? Go ahead, please. Well, for those Armalite fans who love the AR180, I'm sorry to say, I want to hit the 180, I wish I had to go ahead. but they have one here for 1400 with 9 30 round magazines and 5 20 round magazines and what's the package what's the amount again it is a armoire 180 with the magazines manuals and parts oh okay that's okay the rifle and everything not just airf- air 180 mags nope that's everything and it's uh very good 1400 dollars oh well that's oh that bit me in the butt It's a nice rifle but for $1400 I can get an HK91 and a lot of magazines and some ammunition so I'd go the PTR91. They do have those too. They're about $1400. They have so many mags they have the training bolt carrier that you put in there so you shoot the blanks. Right. Well that's interesting they actually have the, okay that was available through one of the other arms companies maybe they were the ones that offered it. I remember here a couple about five months ago and I just ran into that again the other day. Actually some of the components actually were bolt by itself but not the ammunition and not with the rifle but actually was around $23 to $28 for the system by itself. Which I think is rather interesting because usually they kind of sell that as a package deal with the ammo. That's what one of the other companies was doing. Okay, anything else? We'll let you go or go ahead jump in there. There's 116 listings for the ARs and they do have, like I said, the AKs. If I was wrong, I'd take the AK over to AR. Well don't forget there's always the big 50 caliber, yes, upper that drops onto that AR-15 lower and then, well that's one of those ARs that might be handy to have in the inventory in the toolbox. So, as we've recommended many times. Remember there are places where the AR-15 becomes a neat piece of junk. And not junk, but well neat. And many people call it junk, so we'll add the junk part, but it's a cool piece of junk. Those who have the money to support it, I do recommend the AR-10 series. I had a Rock Island, what do you call it, a Rock River AR-10 series, finicky on ammo. They also had the habbin' bread. Oh, the 9mm Kel-Tec carbines. Roger. Yeah, okay. Well, yeah, those are actually a pretty decent old package. Nothing Kel-Tec made so far has been, has had any issues, other than just the idea that sometimes, you know, it's an availability and price. The biggest thing is you can't always get what you're looking for because even though they're producing as many I think as they can, the market absorbs them. I think they even have a foreign market too because they do a certain amount of export down out of Florida, which is not uncommon for companies working out of LA and a few other dots in the map like that where the old CIA operated out of. So that's one of the reasons I think they have connections overseas that are quite good. Okay, anything else? I'll let you go. That's about it. I'm gonna go back to listening to y'all. Very good. Thank you, sir. I've been sick so I ain't called in. I'll try and keep y'all up on anything. Appreciate that. And again, stay healthy too. We got things coming up. You know those that you would recommend? I couldn't find any in Georgia. The nettles? You couldn't find nettles? No, sir. Oh my goodness, I didn't know they'd be hard to find in Georgia. Hell, the biggest problem is killing the buggers up here. You can't get rid of them once they've plotted themselves down. They'll stitch a few seeds and they get a whole patch all over again. Well, do what you can. If all else fails, at least again, dandelion greens. At least go for the dandelion greens. Roger. That's something you can find. I know you've got to have dandelion greens. Just don't pick them out of a place where they're doing weed killing. You know go out in the country a little bit find a guy's cow pasture You might have to probably wash off some brown here and there on occasion now if you're lucky You know pay attention to where you pick but again Preferably before they've butted before they've gone, you know to you know, get ready to go to flower It doesn't mean you can't use them if they have but you'll find that there's the tannic acid issue. They're less bitter that way Interestingly enough, it's one of the few plants where even though it has a milky core, it is edible.
