Live 365 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's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You'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 will 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 the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iookeed 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 trampled, 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 land of the free? You may ride a good late sea, you may know it's a turn-em-after. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader journey starts, glad you make what little noise you always hit the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle, in our hands we'll prove no strife. Maggie no grave at home, back across the briny water And hither ye must come, like bullets to the slaughter But if we the jaws must do, then the sooner it is begun If Clinton's figure hold the buck too, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, no proof, no true rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, no proof, no true rifle Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report I Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories East, South, East, West, and North. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com running on FM Microstations, CB-based stations and Ultra Net technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska Hallmark network from the top of things to the bottom of Florida from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, 5th, 5th, the 12 sisters on the left side of the state and the recalls state of Colorado. Waving the left coast to the great state of Jefferson 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, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work, a million petticoat junction operators, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, today's date is... No way! Yes, we are almost to one third of the month of July gone. It is the 9th of July. It is the sixth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with the K2000 and... 14, Old Earth Calendar, am I in crazy town? And Notre Dame is the football coach, Scooby! Notre Dame is peeing in the tea leaves, boiling them, and having such a psychedelic experience, well, whatever he wrote down, you could apply each comment to just about anything. The Doom of Notre Dame is man, Notre Dame is, you mean, most of Adamus. Yeah, same difference, anyway. What the hell? Anyway, uh... One, two, three, uh, I'll tell you. Oh, as it is, uh, two, three, four. It is Weapons Wednesday, by the way. I am trying to see, uh, what else do we have? Two or three other little projects here. But boy, I'm going to go for, uh, right now, uh, what I just posted in the chat room for our friends there. Brought this up earlier today. Centerfiresystems.com, Centerfiresystems.com, Centerfiresystems.com. It's Weapons Wednesday. We have a whole bunch of firearms that you've purchased. A lot of you guys have a group. The group is organized. You've committed to the AK-47 weapon system. Okay, congratulations. You've got the AK. How long can you maintain it? What do you have to support it? Well, basic cleaning kits are a good start, and that's something you absolutely need. Advanced cleaning kits are advanced rags, solvents, degreasers, greasers, lubricants, all of that. You better make sure that you're piling up and making it into kits. transportable kits. If you're not doing that, you're failing because things are going to get bad fast with regards to supply and support. So again, support systems. What do you have on hand? What do you have to maintain the weapon system? Well, you need armors kits also. Back when the CZ-52 came in, guys, just a little bit after the pistols came in, you might recall that one of the nicest parts about that whole package deal, when the Czech-O Slovakians, the Czech-O Slovakians, or Czech-O Slovakians, were still together before they came to Czechs and the Slovak Republic, When they were selling all this cool stuff, they were actually offering the support systems, the Chinese weapons when they came in, for a short time same thing happened. Armors, kits, and maintenance and operations tools came in. Today you're not seeing much of that, although if you have the AR-15, there's a whole bunch of different utility wrenches. Each company that makes one, if you're an armor, I would buy one of each. I would buy the old M16A1 tool, I would buy the newer A2 tool, I would buy the Schmidlap, the Dunham, the Bingham, the Screwboo, whatever, whoever's making it, one of each, whatever they're making. Wrenches like that are priceless, they're built for the system, they're designed to be a one wrench does everything thing, they're usually well made, they only run for a while and then they're gone. Okay, however they last, it's a finite world. So, you want to pick those up and put those into your AR-15 kit. But, right now, for the moment, Spare parts and replacements for the AK-47. Hypercritical, especially since we're going to be fielding weapons, they're going to be bouncing around in the woods, stuff breaks, things get twisted, parts wear out from tired. They just get tired. Now it doesn't mean we're going to throw the tired parts out because there are ways you can dress and repair. That's another half of what the armor is supposed to do. Fix what's broken. But the turnaround time for weapon systems that are in service should be instant. It should be instantaneous. Pop a pin, pull a couple of washers, replace hammer, replace components that are worn, and pop them back together. Check to ensure operation is taking place. Hand over to the operator. Congratulations. Back out in the field. Let's go. It should be that quick. Some maintenance should be done directly by the operators, by the AKA operators in the field. There are things that they can do. With the proper utility minimum parts, and proper utility minimum tools, you should be able to change out obviously things like grips, stocks, four grips, you should not have disassembled those anyway. Even small parts systems that are a little more intricate like the site assemblies. More on that in a minute because you're going to have to go somewhere else for that. But CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com. for under $50, but we're going to add it up here in a minute. Getting the basic material on hand right now is so stupid, cheap, for quantity. It's never going to be this way again until you're pulling it off enemy corpses. Okay? That's the only way that's going to be reasonable. And even that's going to be expensive because it'll cost you time, it's going to cost you manpower and bullets to get what you want off your enemy corpses, okay, off your enemy. So here's a couple of things taken into consideration here right now. Number one, CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com. When you go there, right on the front page, look what they've got, ten furs. Now, I'll include the oil bottles because it's a $2 gimme item. In fact, let's just do it this way. If I did one of everything that's on the shelf here, I can make it do other things. I'll explain this to you in a minute. Here are some of the things people aren't thinking about with regard to some of the stuff that's available. Let's ask ourselves, number one, what does it cost to mold something? What does it cost to trim and dress something? What does it cost to thread something? What tooling do you need to make something round that was square? Or even if it's round stock to sculpt it? What machining tools? Do you need lathes, cutoff tools, grinders, drills, taps, dies? Think about it. What does it cost for that machinery? It's not just the cost of the item. What would it cost if you thought you were gonna make it? And how would you make it? Or how could you make it? Now, number one, the AK system is using some unique threads that are specific to the Russian system. They're not American standard. They are Russian standard. That's one thing you always need to remember. So there are some things being built here, and I'm going to go step by step through them. Number one, you probably should get one of everything that's on this page. That's my attitude. Why not? But there are some things you could commit to one way or another. First of all, well, AK oil bottles, $2.10 for $10. That's 20 cents a piece. So I'm going to spend a whopping. I've got an armors kit. I'm going to put my AK kits together for my 510 program, or I'm putting an armors kit together. However many of those you want, but let's just say you just get one of those. You get 10 oil bottles, and they're $2.00 for $10. OK, so there's my first $2.00 that I just spent. They are utility oil bottles. They will hold whatever bore cleaner or lubricant you want to take with you. Personally, again, lubricant, simple low end oil. This is for volume storage and learn to use a tip or again a little dip rod to oil and lubricate your weapons. I don't know if it is a squeeze bottle Mark. Why isn't it plastic? Well, you see the plastic breaks down. If you have any old Vietnam era stuff, that's been around for a long time, you know what I'm talking about. How long did it take for some of those solvents to work their way through the polymer containers and leak out? The metal is designed to last, number one. Just what I'm thinking about. So I'm going to get 10 of those just out of policy. Next, on the right-hand side, Wasser 10 AK-47 blank firing adapters. What the hell do I need a blank firing adapter for? Well, there's 10 of them. They are $2. It is a blank firing adapter. It is a stock piece of metal that can be threaded to an American Standard to use a standard flash hider or a homemade silencer, etc. There is a threaded piece of material that is already built to go on your AK. It is a straight piece of stock. It is an easily machined piece of metal. With a little bit of work and picking the right components or I should say the right additional tools, that is a thread adapter option. The existing internal thread will screw right onto the end of an AK that's already threaded. Now I have all that meat on the outside and I can bore the center out to 30 caliber proper, which is what I would do right off the bat. A little more than 30 caliber. I now have an external piece of flat, thick material that I can thread out so I can add something I already have and an American thread I already have. It's also a blank adapter and by the way can be used as a rod guide to protect the crown when you're doing cleaning. Oh, that is another option because that's one of the little tricks of the trade they were doing with these things. If you're using a solid single piece cleaning rod, type it around the 8K. and that's two dollars. So we're just gonna put those in there as a gimme because twenty cents a piece can you do something else with them? Well maybe your armourer will figure out something down the road. So it wouldn't hurt to have those on hand. Next, ten pack Romanian AK pistol grips. I'm gonna buy one bundle of those and that gives me ten pistol grips right off the bat in the Romanian. They're used, I understand, but they're two dollars. So that's 20 cents a piece. Can you afford to not have them on the shelf? If you ever snap or pop a pistol grip for whatever reason and you need to change out, yeah, I can carve one up. Sure, I can. Takes time. Why would I carve one up when I can put one in an armor skit for 20 cents an item? And for 20 cents worth of resource, I can collect two cans here in Michigan. Two aluminum cans on the road will pay for one of these pistol grips. However I say, pop cans. Scrap metal, whatever I'm gonna do. 20 cents. I can't make it for 20 cents. Now, also, Yugo AK pistol grips. This is the only odd man out thing of the two because you can either go one and one or you can go one or the other. Personally, I'd go 10 of the Yugos also. They're $4, so I'm going to get 10 of those of the pistol grip Yugos. And I've got a whopping $4 tied up into that. OK, there we go. Now, the next three items that are AK items AKA Broken Shell Extractor, a five pack for five dollars. Personally, it's up to you. I'll just go one. We're going to just go one of each of everything here. This is a priceless item. You may put it in the armors kit, or if you have 10 AKs or 20 AKs or 12 AKs, buy more of these than you need for the AKs you've got, because if you don't have it in your kit for each AK, you should. It doesn't happen all the time, but if any adhesion takes place and you have something jammed up inside your weapon, This is one of the options for extraction that can be used with the weapon system as it was designed. The AKSKS broken shell extractor, five for five dollars. So, I'm going to grab some shell extractors, one bundle of five, and I'm going to pay a whopping five dollars for those. Five pack AK47 slant muzzle brakes. Five of them for $10. I'm gonna buy one pack of those. Why? People drop things. People lose things. People get fumbly fingers. People forget things. They just forget. They're putting something back together. They're under fire. Something happens all of a sudden or they get urgent. Come on Frank, we gotta get in the truck. Well, all of a sudden they get to the other end and somebody looks down and goes, or they look down and while they're checking their weapon and go, where the hell is my muzzle brake? Well for $2 apiece you've got a heavily machined piece of technology. It's been ground. It's been cleaned It's been cut it's been finished and it's done and that's $10 for five so that's $2 apiece So I'm gonna get one bottle of five of those The next pack is so ridiculously stupid of all the items if you were to buy one thing today And you've got a case you buy this and you grab them now five pack of AK piston grip and trigger group assemblies $10 for five packages. Now there's five sets of pins, there's five hammers, five seers, five triggers, trigger groups, five gas pistons, and five more pistol grips. Damn, we're going to have pistol grips all over the place, aren't we? Yeah, and that's cool because we got them. They're not sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Okay, so a five pack of those runs a whopping $10 and the piston, that gas piston by itself, you can't touch the material for $2. Let alone the finishing, the fitting, the grinding, the polishing, the threading, etc. for that part, guys. So you're looking at five for $10. Now there's one other item and I'm going to have to go off the page. I'm not going to mention those pouches because those pistol mag pouches are on the front page for those who haven't looked. If you need those, buy them. That's a personal choice thing. But I'm looking at the AK items. That's not an AK item, but those are worthwhile. Five double-sell universal mag pouches for $10. They work. They're well made. I got a pile of them. Some of you got them from me in the mail because you were asking for something before and we made sure we got some of those too, yes. So you know what they look like. If you want to buy five, buy five pack, go ahead. $2 apiece is very reasonable. Now we're going to go down to another section separate from these other AK parts in the front page over to replacement stocks. It's down towards the bottom of the inventory on the left side. The very first thing that shows up is what I want you to buy. I forgot if you've got AKs. Original Yugo Zastava factory made thumbhole buttstock. Now listen to this. a four-pack of these for $10. Now I want you to look at that. You get the pistol grip and the buttstock in one assembly with the standard Zestava, you know, a thumb hole, literally thumb hole system. It's got a comb stock. They're black. They're nothing to write home about. They're really nice. But for $2 apiece, I'm going to ask you, do you even think you can come up with something like that for $2? If you have a busted stock AK, I'm going to pull off the pistol grip, I'm going to pull off the busted butt, usually it breaks right next to the buttstock by the way, right to where the receiver makes contact, guys. I've got a box full of these broken, standard AK buttstocks. I don't throw them away, why? If I got somebody who's really tiny and I want to build a stock for a small person, I grab one of those broken ones, I break out the Dremel tool, the router, and I build a new set of notches and a knock for the stock. And I can take that broken stock and put it on an AK for a shorter person. The girls like that. Some of the guys want them for tactical short stocks for any house to house, whatever. But I don't take a brand new stock because I don't have to. I take a stock that's damaged. It's a laminate military Russian stock. Oh, so you don't throw those out either. No, broken stuff goes into the armorer's kit as long as there's meat, stock, or material. They go into a secondary kit, a junk bin that is transportable because, remember, armorers have to move. but you put those parts somewhere else and you hang onto them because any buttstock is better than harsh language and spraying and praying without a buttstock. Well in this case, this is a sport type thumb hole Yugo stock, four of them for $10. So that's $2 apiece. So there's another $10 you're going to spend. Okay. Now over the last couple of weeks they've had these ads up and What's interesting about this is that the shipping is varied. Well right now the shipping if you go to Centerfire on this is a flat $10 rate no matter what how much you buy. Flat rate shipping $9.99 firearms and ammunition are excluded from flat rate shipping. So $10 is what it's going to cost for shipping if you do this today. So we're going to put that $10. Now if you think you got anything else at Centerfire systems that looks useful that you want to buy, go ahead. I would tag it on now. You're already spending a certain amount of money here and there's no limit. As far as dry goods, surplus, whatever else you're thinking about. Remember, Cinefraer Systems has those ponchos, the white snow, camel poncho, that's cloth, and the Swiss ponchos, those are rain ponchos. I used mine yesterday, actually I've got hundreds of them, and I've got them stationed all over the place. So if I need to get outside, I can grab a poncho in a moment. I paid a cheap, cheap, cheap price for them because I bought them wholesale. Guess what? These are a great solution for winter and for fall, especially the Swiss Red Russelt pattern works exceptionally well in our fall and in our late brownout season, guys. It's literally a predator camouflage. Well, anyway, whatever else you can see on the list, you can go that way. But if all you're going to do is buy the AK, you're going to have the AK parts and the AK stocks. you're going to spend $10 on shipping. If you got more things you wanted to buy and you've got the money to do it, I would do it with this order. So let's see what we got. Right off the bat, we got 10 bottles, 10 blank firing adapters slash, you know, experimental parts for the future, 10 of the pistol grips remaining, and 10 of the pistol grips you go, 5 of the broken shell extractors, 5 of the AKSLAM muzzle brakes, Five of the multi-packs with the piston, the internals, the pins, and the pistol grips. And then we also got the four butt stocks that are the UGO butt stocks. Let's do the math here real quick. 0-0-0-0, that all lines up. Okay, we got 10, 20, 30, 35, 39, 41, 43, $45 total. Just if we do those items, $45 total. plus $10 shipping $55 and you got yourself a whole pile of junk there a whole pile of parts that will be useful for your AKs Well $55 total you can't beat that you can't all nickel and dime items a couple of dollar items some of them, but Well worth the two dollars okay Excuse me, and there's your armors kit. There's your ability I'll start there's still other things an AK parts kit would give you firing pins extra firing pin extractor ejector bolt all the other fun stuff So if you want to go next extreme or if you're even looking at this and going yeah I got a couple hundred dollars spent on a K parts well then go over to the AK parts sets or go over to the parts kits section and See what they have in the way of a K parts sets that are might be reasonable or useful or something that definitely maybe they're lesser kits then we'll get much in the way of a K kits except for the brand new ones and those brand new American kits are $320 for all every part that exists that's made for the AK except for the receiver including the rivets and that's the US made parts kit for $320 so if you wanted to throw one of those in you could do that that would be an option but that's another $300 some dollars I'm just talking about using under $100 doing whatever but these parts kits are all part of that again, remember it's not a full weapon, those are parts kits. Parts kits are part of that $10 flat rate chipping thing guys. See how that works? Something you might want to take into consideration there. So anyway, there's a solution. Not just complaining about the problems. What do we do? What do we do? Well, we mildew. Oh, did I say that? Yes I did. Anyway, that now I'll give you the information again. That is CenterfireSystems.com, CenterfireSystems.com, CenterfireSystems.com, CenterfireSystems.com, 1800-950-1231, 1800-950-1231, 1800-950-1231. Those stocks that I mentioned, if you look at the inventory of subjects on the left side, replacement stocks, when you tap replacement stocks, First item on the upper left hand side are the original Yugo Zestava factory made Thumbhole butt stocks for $10. You can't beat it. I've got a couple of guys that have served overseas that are working as contractors. This is what they were using over there. In fact, they were having a hard time trying to find the Thumbhole stocks for any kind of price or reason. Well, they're certainly not available overseas. They don't make them over there. They make them over here. Or actually, they make them four over here. So, $2 a piece he can afford to throw a couple of these in a kit if he ends up working over on the other side of the water again, those go with him. It's something that he's grown up with, something that they've used before and they like. Of course, there are the other commercial stocks, the Sega, Skeleton, Buttstocks, etc., that are available $40, $50, $60. But those stocks right there as spare parts stocks for $2 a piece, you can't make or you can't even buy the chip that makes the plastic. That makes the stock. You can't buy the chip for $2, let alone what you've got sitting there already done by a man built by somebody. They paid for the molds. It's done. That's why I'm harping on these things. This is so stupid price, you can't beat it. Plus, let's say you want to make some training rifles and or you want to make some other weapons up and demonstrate how to do it from on the cheap scratch, you know, slash part here, part there. A couple of dollars for a handful of items starts to really fill out your short list on the accoutrements and putting the rest together here, there and bits and pieces off of scrap piles isn't that hard. Amazingly enough, you can put a beater rifle together in a pretty short period of time. It's a pretty decent little weapon. ApexGunParts.com is another direction to go for a lot of those other scrap or cut up or chopped or bent parts that can be beat back together. to build a rifle that will do everything that any military's rifle will do. But that's a personal choice there. You've got to figure out what you're doing. So again, CenterfireSystems.com. Okay, harped on that, gave you it, mapped it out. Everybody should understand what's going on. I think it's pretty straightforward. It is Weapons Wednesday. UNAMO.com. Boy, they've got some stuff in, but I'll tell you what, and this is the scary part, is price on things, guys. I was going through surplus yesterday in terms of just equipment. And I was just stepping back and looking at the numbers. Literally, the cost for all basic surplus items from the wholesalers that provide all the surplus stores that you buy from have pretty well tripled price on everything. Now, the reason I bring that up is one of the things we've talked about a lot here on the air for the last couple of, well, more than the last couple of years, for as long as I've ever talked about stuff, is boots. Now guys, boots in the surplus industry, they were always a glut item, they were never going to run out, you know, they're always going to be great prices. Twenty dollars, fifteen dollars, eighteen dollars, sixteen dollars, five dollars a pair for a brand new in-the-box surplus boots. And good boots, not necessarily for knock-off Korean-made or later Taiwanese or Chinese made them, American-made boots, surplus stuff that came out of government sales. Guys, 28, 30, $50, $60, even up to $100 for government surplus boots on the wholesale end is the norm. Now, it doesn't mean that the boots aren't worth it. I mean, they really are, but you see surplus was surplus. Surplus was, yeah, we got a pile of this stuff. There's other people that make things. You know what? Hey, give us a good price. We'll give you a great price. Tell me how many you want. The more you want, the better the price will be. And that's how you bought stuff in the surplus industry. That's not the case now. In fact, sizes catches catch catch. Not that that has been an issue with a lot of specialized boots because the center size boots, in other words the standard for the population for the day, the norm, those get eaten up first always, both in the military and out. So surplus because they have to have a certain number of upper and lower sizes always in quantity. because you never know, they just never know where you're going to be. We've had this happen, I used to serve with a guy who was 6'6", went into choppers, yes, went into helicopters, if you can believe that. It's kind of like that thing from We Were Soldiers. You're going to call me in aviation. Well, I know a guy back in 1975 that was 6'6", went into aviation, and he was a phenomenal pilot. phenomenal pilot he did everything right they were pilots were leaving they were disgusted with the system a lot of people retired to get screwed he hit the beach at the right time got into aviation however shoes because he wore a size 16 shoe guys it they never caught up with him he could go up buy boots and because he were big sizes they charged big and tall men sizes in price So, he actually had a waiver to wear deck shoes, slash tennis shoes, on occasion as needed because you can't wear the pair of boots that they finally issue you out. You got to give them time to breathe. And as he changed station and went from Fort Knox to other areas around the planet, they would order boots through the supply system. The supply system, slower than the last one, would finally get the boots to him. But by the time the boots got to where he was, He'd already been moved down to another location. So he had to do the whole thing all over again. They had to order more boots through the rotation and blah blah blah blah blah. And they never catch up with him. Or at least, well, only after years did some finally get to worry because he was stationed for a period of time and fixed. So there's an example of why those big big boots gotta be in place and the small small boots all the way down to size one and two which had, well, who the hell wears those? Tiny women, that's who wears those. And they got to have them. Size two, size three, size four. They're there. They're in the system. I can show you in the supply system right now in the surplus. Well, every so often they rotate the stock. Stock goes out. Even if it's not old stock, the head doesn't know what the tail's doing, they don't care. But it's now still expensive. Socks are the same way. Used to be a nickel and dime item. Buy six, seven, 10 pairs of socks at a time for $1. Not so anymore, not even close. So surplus, well there is a reflection of how your devaluation of currency has taken place and it's true especially with ammunitions, no different or anything else. That's really what's happened with the price shift. So enough on that, we've discussed it but I'm trying to emphasize that you're seeing these changes. A couple things that they've gotten in that I have not seen for a while and yet they're definitely high and twenty two they've got the Midas Lapua yeah Midas you better have some gold because you're looking at a hundred and seventy seven dollars for a hundred five hundred rounds of twenty two. They've also got some Exacta Winter. Fiocci with 22 long rifle made by Fiocci in Italy. This is a very high end match, great ammunition. Fiocci's answer to Eli's 10x and Lapua's biathlon. Don't let your price fool you. We are actually selling this ammunition inexpensively to move it. That's $99 a brick of $500. Now, these are competition load. This is real competition ammunition. You know, I've talked about this. All of a sudden, they had some kind of match name on it and blah, blah, blah, blah. And they've been just jamming us for the price of 22 ammo, which is a punk ammunition as far as production goes. Eli makes flavor by color. Okay, in other words literally is like an ice cream, an ice cream company. The color of the box determines what grade and what standard, etc. And Eli makes nothing but competition. It don't make any feel-grade ammunition to speak of, not in any quantity. The same is true with Lapua, the stuff coming in. Gotta remember, Lapua, especially their Olympic class, guys, this is stuff that's tack-driving ammo. So it is useful if you have a scoped a rifle that is an adult's rifle or a rifle you've built up that's you know you put a long barrel on it like some of these Rugers you've got yourself basically a game getting scope a real finally adjustable scope you've settled it in you've built the stock up that ergonomically fits you that will fit your body well if you want to put that bullet one around on top of the other every time you bag it or you bipod it when you pull the trigger that bullet will go where you want to put it and it will stay there over and over and over again. That's what this is for. I was a competition shooter, the Go-Com and the national matches, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And people that are serious about that, that are part of the President's 100, guys, they spend thousands of dollars on .22 ammunition, and that's back when ammunition was cheaper. Okay. If they're serious and they want their name on the wall, they start spending on buying the wrenches that they need and the tools for the toolbox to get what they want. It's just the way people are and they've done it for years. Anyway, they've also got Standard Plus manufactured in Germany under the SK name. This is, again, extremely accurate as Lapua. It is $650 for 5,000 rounds. of Standard Plus. This is made in Germany. So we've got, see this is why they call the guy UNAMMO. Not that everybody else isn't buying multinational, don't worry about that. He's got a little Pua Midas, we're looking at Exacto Winter, and then the next stuff up German. So we're looking for, we're going from Finland to Italy to Germany, etc. So that's the new stuff that's just come in that's up on the top of the list for the scroll. If you're looking for accurate sentry takedown ammunition, put a bullet right in the back of their beener, right on the base of the skull. If you're looking to put it through the eye and you're looking to knock the target down with a quiet gun, even though it's going to make some, it's quieter when it's got a hush puppy on it or whatever, well, that's what this stuff does. Or if you're just going to plan on using those .22s and you're not worried about where the sound's coming from, but you want to hit them and you want to hurt them. Because you want to put that bullet right through or in that little knock that you can see and your crosshairs are already zeroed for that ammunition and you know what you're doing and you're a serious shooter that 22 will work. Okay. They've also got a bunch of other 9mm pistol ammunition that has come in. Check it out. I'm not going to go over right now. It's on the scroll. You guys can do this. That's your job. I'm just directing you. The other thing is 50 caliber ammunition. Guys, a lot of people are building the new 50s or building the kit 50s right now. In fact, their barrels are becoming an issue for a little bit again. I would also point out that they have the 357 truncated round, the pitched pyramid round that was originally built for the 357 for armor penetration. Jacked and round, it is 158 grain TMJ. They've got them in stock. It's remanufactured ammunition, but it's brand new build. $245 for 500 rounds, bulk ammo, 158 grain, 357 Magnum. This is what was built for the 357 model. The highway patrolman, model 27 Smith and Wesson with a six inch or six and seven, eighth inch barrel, et cetera, whatever custom barrel you order out to eight. And this is what would go through steel. That's what it was designed to do. Before World War I, and as World War I started, truncated slash the pyramidal round was actually built extensively for the Broomhandle Mauser in 9 and for the Luger. Now while the Broomhandle 9 was not as common at the beginning of the war, the Luger certainly was. And so pop, pop, boom, boom, that's what they were working with. Just something to think about there. That is the load. What you see right there, it is... 357 Magnum, 158 Grain, TMJ, packed bulk and loaded exclusively for use by licensed Arizona manufacturer who produces fine quality ammunition. Cases are new factory prime nickel plated, which is also a big plus for you reloaders. You will receive 500 rounds, loose packed in a Plano reusable locking ammo can. $245. But that is the load. Find a little more about it. Do a little research. Winchester Western still made up until a few years ago, and I think they still do offer it, their AP 357 Magnum and 38 Special Plus P in the conical projectile. Now that has a more aggressive conical even than what you see here. In other words, it comes down to only to a point about the size of a little more than a pencil lead. And those rounds, of course, are very aggressive. Get my drift in other words. They're designed to go through steel or metal or hard objects Whether or not anybody has tested those with the vests or not I don't know But it still offers more penetration you do a snag a tag aside a slide whatever It'll get you know keep the energy on target And it'll allow it to slide or dimple through and do some damage even if it isn't a you know a solid center hit on a soft juicy spot, okay? Next, also, steel case ammunition. Now, I'm going to point something out. A lot of you guys wanted to buy or have bought these submachine gunner like carbine 9mm. If you do have that, I would prioritize the steel case 9mm to those guns. I can't emphasize that enough. It doesn't mean you can't use it in your other weapons, but the brass is less abusive to your handguns. Everybody understand that? But the advantage is that the guns we're talking about, these pepeish carbines, these sumoi carbines that are in 9mm, the sumi and the pepeish pistols that are out there in 9, guys, the steel case ammo is what it was built for. Those guns and that ammo are remaded to each other. They expect to eat it. It's what they were built for, okay? So that's what you route towards your bullet eaters like that if you're using any kind of suppression gun and it's a no stock or it's a short barrel, etc. It's military, second, third generation submachine gun stock weapon, although it is now semi-auto, and the steel case ammunition is what it was going to digest and did for all of its life. Just something to think about there. So again, while there's some pretty good prices on Wolf's Steel Case 9. It's cheaper, it's ball, it's not fancy, nothing right home about, but it's cheap enough that you do save several dollars that can allow you to spend money and buy those AK parts I brought up earlier out of the program. Oh, yeah, if you save money in one place, then you can spend money in another so you've got more goodies. More junk, more goodies is good for your logistics trade. More is better. Always, though, is a lot good? Yes. Is more better? Oh, yes. Works that simply. Anyway. Next, for guys deploying down the border, if you're going down, number one, make sure that you have your ammunition secured, make sure your ammunition is out of sight, make sure your ammunition is, if you've got a transport vehicle, is controlled by you. Pay attention to all of your valuable items. Assume that somebody might be there to cause trouble or to snag and tag and five-finger discount stuff. Don't just walk in there starry eyed and don't want to hear later, well I went in there and my stuff was stolen, this and that guys. It's like in a combat situation. You don't know when you're going to be under fire anyway. Everything and anything you possess in the field should be under your control, not somebody else's. And don't just leave it around. People have a hard time wrapping their brain around this and I don't know why. I've tried to condition everybody I've trained over the years to understand that. I don't take my web gear off. I loosen it up. I'll never take my web gear off unless I'm absolutely able to do it with total control in a small army around me. Otherwise, I seem to recall if I'm in the uniform and I'm carrying the weapon and I've got the ammunition. I am the army. I'm not there as a part-time employee. I'm not there for the fun of it. I have a mission, I have a job, I'm living in my gear. I don't take my armor off, I don't take my web gear off, I don't take my boots off. I'll loosen my boots up or you loosen one boot a little bit, the other boot can be taken off and you rotate them. You take one boot off, leave the other boot on. Just little tricks of the trade we learned a long time ago, guys. This will alleviate pressure and of course remember when you're walking and moving around blood flows to the legs foot sizes increase this creates other issues Well what you do if you're gonna stop rest and actually if you're allowed to sleep Then loosen up your gear undo the velcro on the side of your armor loosen up so you can breathe a little easier and deeper and If you want to then unlace the boots But don't take them off or unlace the boot loosen one take the other one off, but put it right there at the end of your toe Wow, that way you're able to breathe and you're not being squeezed and when the time comes, well, you may be called out immediately to move. First thing you do is slide that boot on. You may even move a little more difficult if you're not laced up completely, but there's a little trick there. Take the laces that are loose and just wrap them around the boot and just snag her right there once. That gets you into motion. Gets you past the 40 second to 60 second lag time where your brain starts to come back out of the sleepy world. You got to think it has to be automatic reaction. The first thing you're thinking about is get the boot out. Second is make sure your pants are squared away. Standing up and having something around your knees would be real embarrassing, wouldn't it? Well, I loosened my belt up now. Well, I don't do that. Or if you do, you better be thinking in your mental regimen that that is the thing that better be taken care of first. Otherwise, you're going to look really stupid as a corpse. Give them a drift. So anyway, bunch of stuff. Take it seriously. You're going down on the border. You're going to be deploying down there. You're going into a possible fighting situation. We have been betrayed. The system is a failure. It is intentionally doing this to us. All of these clowns, all of these politicians are failures. They are to one degree or another absolute panty waste that are allowing this thing to happen to the destruction of our country. That pig, that Kenyan from the awful office in the outhouse on Pennsylvania Avenue in the district of criminals. is, you know, I don't need to go to the border, I've got money to make, you know, who the hell are raising money for, who the hell is spending money? Whoever is right now spending money on that POS or anything that it supports is an absolute enemy of the American people. You thought about that? Who in the hell would beat, well that's right. The characters that hate this country and like what this creature is doing and is trying to destroy it because they want to take your jobs, they want to destroy your family, they want to destroy the heritage of the country, they want to carve the country up, it's time to carve them up instead.

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 vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You'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 the land. 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 from 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?
