Mark Koernke discussed affordable night vision options for border security volunteers, including consumer-grade IR goggles available at retail stores. He then shifted to Communications Tuesday content, covering six-meter radio equipment acquisition at ham fests, proper cooling for high-power CB and radio rigs, and budget-friendly communications setups for retreat locations. The show included extensive discussion of ammunition availability (GECO rounds at AIM Surplus), firearm pricing trends (rising Glock costs), and AR platform caliber options, particularly the 7.62x39 upper as a cost-effective alternative to exotic cartridges. A caller from Texas contributed field safety advice about desert preparedness. The final segment introduced Joe's gardening program on permaculture and homesteading.
live 365 with lawn chairs made up of Graham and grandpa well for them to use the the non-military application night vision that worked go ahead okay I do I think it let me see I had the name of the company here that did it it is actually produced them it's a spy net model it's produced by this It's a toy company. It's somebody doing it for airsoft. It is an IR night vision It's in for a you know You can walk into Walmart's and buy it and it's a cellophane front and a pretty neat package and some cool pictures and when you give it to the boy for Christmas or birthday or you know, whatever and he puts it on and he's walking around at night He's looking through green lenses and there's a green light coming out of the device and they call that night vision No, not with this one It's probably an Airsoft, it might actually be an actual video camera, video camera, ice cube cameras. Well, the reviews that I'm seeing on it says it works good, there is no visible front light off it, it has a IR emitter, cyclops above the goggle point. I'm thinking if I can't see the front of it, it's not showing it, I'm just able to read the reviews. Well this sounds like the one we ran into a few years ago, guys. It's the same thing. It does have some kind of visible light. It has to. Well not visible light, it has to be infrared light. Yeah, it has an infrared emitted. It's basically the equivalent to a micro version of the last infrared generation. Generation zero. Yeah, before starlight. I wouldn't say micro because it's saying it will fit a full size adult. Well, no, no, but I'm saying for the size, because originally the ones they came up with years ago were macro, were big. You know, this is taking space age technology application and still making infrared, which is good. This is what I'm talking about. That would be fine. The only thing is to remember, it does have an IR emitter on board, so if you've got other collecting technology, you're going to know right where that person is. Oh, yeah. But it works. You know, for short pathfinders or supplemental personnel, for working and reducing visible light in areas where you might still have, say, blackout, but you have area cover, it would especially be useful. Or for fixed, given, known operational areas. Like I said, to supplement, trying to get 100% night vision into everybody's hands where some people have, you know, shoestring budgets. That would be the application for this situation. Because again, like Minute Man 1 and 2, we all know where the border is. Everybody knows we're on the border. We want them to know we're on the border. And we want them to see if they have night vision, we want them to see the horde of other people that have those bobbly IR lights on. By the way, they're not the ones you need to worry about. the piranhas are the guys out there with the first, second, and third gen who are military application. Okay, what this is saying is it's good for up close, it's not good for long range, so if you just needed to see around like a campsite or whatnot, that's what it would be used for. Don't expect to read anything with the goggles on, the resolution is not that good. Yeah, so again, it's a it's an idea I think we could almost build one that would be not quite as you know Wouldn't be that root or crude. Oh this company makes another Another version called the I clops with an ir emitter that emits light That's probably the one you're talking about Don. It's the same company that one has a visible light for the kids so you can see where the children are in the woods while they're busy trying to figure out whether or not they have night Is that a bear or a raccoon? He's got a red dot in his forehead or a green one. It's okay. That's Fred. That's the boys. There's Ralph, there's Fred, and there's Billy. Hey, Dad, I let you guys go over the top, so I'll give you the bump. Okay, we're way over. Yep, and we're in the next hour. Don, your number for night vision first. That number is 2317-996-8458. And we've discussed this before. It is an overlapping solution to supplement and bridge an issue that needs to be addressed. We need more night vision out there, but we You know, this is assist technology. It's not primary or military application technology. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. Ooh, raw. Kick him in the slats, beat him down so hard, they wished a god that they never showed up. When the time comes, bury him face down in pig feces and let only a rumor of their destruction return to where they came from. Donald, remember for night vision and closest place. It is 231-796.

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 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 won't 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he 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 to 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? Is this still the land of the free? and remember your training and you will come back alive good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report run a little late as we went over the last hour but and coming together uh... one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on behind the lines of occupied territory central west east and south well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, we're on AM and FM micro stations. CB base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the hallmark network from the top of Maine 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 third, fifth pit and the 12 sisters. Waving to the left coast, we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, And the mob build, grammar consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the golden spike. Many hands make for light work, a million Peddico Junction operators, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, it is a beautiful Tuesday, Communications Tuesday, by the way. We are headed to the end of the month, 29 July. It is the sixth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. America with a gay 2014 older calendar or Mayan crazy crazy calendar and has been a very busy busy week here it is only Tuesday well yeah it has been actually so there are a lot of things to get done and out of the way the time that we have left course we are headed towards August already and still have construction to do or destruction to do depending what you're up to there. Working on a couple of the more specialized radio projects once again, it is Communications Tuesday. Six meter radios. Yeah, there's a whole bunch of odd six meter radios you're going to run into that you might not recognize the names. But the ham operators that might be selling them, and usually at ham fest, that's what you're dealing with, have access to the equipment, may have actually been using it for a period of time, might may have gotten the latest toy, or they had a friend who had a whole pile of stuff. It shows up, some of the companies are typically American. When Six Meter came into its own, really big into its own, the big companies obviously are Motorola General Electric, Raytheon, By the way, Rockwell built radios also. Many different companies were diversified into many different areas. If they didn't have it themselves, they bought a subsidiary. There would be a company out there that had a certain name. Due to the mention that there were little guys that were, you know, either left a big company like Motorola, although it wasn't big big at the time. Motorola has been many different affiliates and has had many different sub companies and contractors. Well, guys get out there and see an idea and they say, you know, we can build a better version of that. Yeah, and we can build it for less. Yeah, we have all the machinery here. Yeah, well, let's do it. Okay. And so they do it and then, well, say Rockwell had an application for something. They wanted to build something and put it in their planes or put it in a vehicle or maybe just deploy it with something else because it was part of a package. Well, they go out and buy a company. And so these little guys are out there, they come up and say, hey, we'll buy your whole company for 15 million. That's back when 15 million really counted for something. Not that you wouldn't mind 15 million nowadays. But yeah, for 15 million, they'd go out and they'd buy or 5 million. They'd buy a company completely out. And they would make it theirs and put the company logo on it. Then after a while the contract with the government or that contract with the business would run out and they'd sell the company to somebody else. Or they might even have a temporary holding clause where they'd put the company name on that guy's company and use it and he would be paid the same as if they were actually taking the company over. But they had him running the deal and in the long run he'd be able to just, you know, they'd release the company back to him under a two or three or four year projected contract. Many different arrangements, too numerous to mention. Well, those companies built phenomenal equipment, typically. They were chosen because they fit the niche and back in the day, quality is what people were looking for, especially for industrial and medical or certain applications that might be unique to government. Because of that, the equipment that's been coming out has been pretty robust. Even if you don't recognize the name, if you do a little background, you might actually find all the history out there available. Can't guarantee that it's all out there, but there's usually some reference because there's a lot of people that are, you know, in the radios, were in the internet way before most of them knew what it was, and they've created extensive sites that have a pretty good database. And they'd never throw anything away or tear it down if they can help, but they're smart about that. So... You should be able to find the technical data if there's anything in particular you have a question about. I would remind you that some radio rigs run hot. The green boxes, notorious Johnsons, let's see, who else, Dil Wilgurd, or Willeggen, was it? Dil Willeggen. It was a little company, very popular during the CB era of the 70s. These guys wanted power. Power! We're going to hit the switch and burn your speakers. They're going to melt right on your rig. And it's serious, but this also is true with other pieces of equipment for greater range and also clarity and signal. Now, the logic here is that you weren't going to just hit the switch, keep the key down and just yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. The idea was it was for burst signal communications. You talk, you get off. The guy responds or the base responds or the hospital responds and you key back up. Now, if you did run constant and you talk long, You're starting to build up calories. Now, back in the day, what would normally happen is you get yourself a house fan and or a couple of smaller 12-inch or 10-inch personal fans and you hook them up around that rig because usually they were ventilated, they've got holes and even though some of them might even have blower motors on board, kind of rare but it was done. This is before the age of the computer fans as everybody knows them today. Today that would be the solution. To be quite honest, you want to pull the calories. You've got heat sinks you can buy or buy off wrecks. You go to a place where they're busting up computers. A recycle point. And you lift the hood and you pay them by weight for the heat sinks that are inside. You start saving them up. Well, you can take those heat sinks or build new or do whatever you want. You can go to scrapyards and find stuff like this laying around that's for other industrial applications. Take a bank of three or four of these little computer fans and push air over that radiator that you've created. You will find that that radio could squawk and talk a lot longer and the built-up calorie issue is pretty well going to be defeated. These radios... were quite notorious for pushing out some major heat when the time came. So it is important and imperative that you act accordingly with regard to preparation for usage if you're going to find out that, wow, that was a cooker after all. And again, this is true with CB base radios. It's not so much the rigs are in vehicles. Strangely enough, It's not strange enough, when you're using 110 you're pushing main power, you've got some kind of onboard amplifier that before you even get to another box you add on. These units were designed out of the box to be able to talk to the planet and they were built accordingly. So, just take into consideration, long run, when you're looking at these things, and why they need to be part of the mental inventory. We don't want to burn something down. And by the way, yeah, they could build up enough calories to, at the very least, cook themselves out. Okay? 6 meter units, not so much, but there's some things that were tweaked out there. So do a little research. But typically you'll find, as we got a couple of these last weekend, one of our radio guys just stopped by last night and spent time watching those videos we were talking about. Got a couple of 6 meters, everything top to bottom. Massed, you know, short mass, little mass. Antenna, coax, the radio, two or three mics, total cost $35 per rig. ready to roll. They're going into a couple of new trailers he's building. Both of them are 6 meter, in this case both of them were GE. But in matching, by the way, perfect, beautiful piece of equipment. I don't know what their application was, but whoever had them obviously took care of them, very clean, so they weren't like for a mine or they weren't used at a I'll say an industrial shop like an open air machine shop because you get oil, you get grease in the air. Typically you can tell. These things are pristine, they're in excellent condition. $35 a piece plus the guy, you know, he threw in another $5 and he got a whole bunch of spare parts in an odd box which was stuff that came from another project but was the same radios. The guy decided he didn't want to go with those 6 meters. He got another couple of pieces of equipment at the show. even while he was selling these units to Mr. M. So expect that guys. You can find them for a good price. Six meter is a solution. Very user friendly. Easy to understand. Easy to plug and play. And you can have it on standby. If you get it for that cheap, you can put equipment all over the place. That retreat you're squaring away. You're not spending top dollar, but you have several different communications options. And if you made it up, 6 meter light base with a handful of handhelds, standard AA battery packs or 9 volt, and remember there's 9 volt out there too, 9 volt radio batteries. You can find those also as of course rechargeables. You don't have to just count on the idea of having to use alkali throw away. There are rechargeable 9 volt batteries and they can actually be left on the shelf Stored for a period of time in neutral and then charged up quickly enough solar panel chargers Not a big deal hand crank chargers little units not a big deal all that stuff is out there And I would build up the kit accordingly to support the handheld radios Because the more options you have the more likely you're gonna be able to use those tactical radios if I were going down to the border I go over to Harbor Freight Grab a pile of these $15 12 volt, you know, they used to be dash size rechargers, you know solar solar panels guys you can adapt those to anything you need to use and with the Microtech micromillion amperage my ultra efficient equipment that everybody's carrying if they're going into the you know latest and greatest Those power supplies especially those little those solar panel units would be the cats meow for what you're doing in the field. That is a solution to the problem and again when the time comes hey if you're really generous even if you get if you just get just one and when the time comes and it's time to leave you pick it up for the project leave it down on the border for the deployment with the troops that are there congratulations and in fact the idea is to remind them that's where it stays doesn't go back with somebody else piddling with it or thinking oh I'm gonna snake this and carry it off no The idea is that we can build up technology and continue to build up the deployments along the border and do it in an intelligent way so nobody's out that much, but progressively strength is, you know, the strength of the formations are improved. So again, solutions, not just complaining about the problems, that's the idea. As it is, tell you what, we're headed towards the bottom of the hour, we're going to take a bottom of the hour break, and a long piece of music would be kind of handy. We got a little rain here, I got to cover something up real quick. So, we're going to get to the bottom of the hour. Again, we have the bottom of the hour, uh, forget bottom of the hour. End of the year bill. Same difference. Uh, end of the year billing, uh, coming up here, guys, uh, it's transparent. Go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Go to the middle of the page. You'll see the amount there that is the goal. You'll see what we've achieved. And we, uh, of course, are very transparent about this. It's a once a year bill. Unlike the government, we actually do tell you what's going on. The once a year bill means we could cut the price of operations in half. It would have been twice as much if we'd gone with a monthly or a six month bill. By doing it this way and paying once a year, it is a burden for a short period of time, but everybody chipping in. You guys have been a great job. The listeners make it happen, and then we get on with dealing with other problems. We have upgrades that need to take place with the station computer. I'm working on that wherever I can to try and cut costs back to help that out from one direction, but there are things that simply need to be taken care of, and that's one of them because Hey, computers get old, the system needs to be upgraded, and we're doing what we can to make it happen. So again, www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com And we might be hearing the music here in a minute. think a long piece of music, something cool would be great. You know, dynamic. Hint, hint, hint. But, hell, I may not be able to do that. Meanwhile, I'm watching the rain come down faster. Hey, I got those plants in the ground just in time. Pretty cool. Also, for everybody out there, again, I mentioned Rap4.com. I will remind everybody again, if you're looking at sponsoring somebody to get them down there, I understand we're all limited in resources. That's why I've tried to find clearance, closeouts, any specials so that we can keep things to a minimum. One of those $20 assault vests does pretty much most of what needs to be put together to get a person a basic support rig to get down there to the field. Now, one of those vests, one of the CADPAT vests already sold out. So there's two cad-pat, there are two types of ACU, two woodland and one multi-cam slash no name brand eight color camo vest. These are assault rifleman slash tactical vest. They are $20 apiece on sale. Go to wrap4.com www.wrap4.com. Once you get to wrap4.com then go to clearance. Look for the vest clearance section. There are A number of $20, there's one for I think $39 and there's another one for about $60. Each, progressively, is much cheaper than its normal price, but the $20 apiece vest are no different from the same ones that Sportsman's Guide are selling right now for about $69. So you can buy about three for one, which I'd say is a pretty good stinking deal. And again, depending on the camouflage, the area where you are, Woodland camo is the cheapest solution in general. Lots of Woodland, everything out there so you can match up and be truly squared away. But for those of you who need multi-cam, because you have to have multi-cam, they do have it available. So you can work it out that way too. And I don't know how long those vessels last, because again, they've already sold one out. Apparently we've been doing a pretty good job because I know they had 35 of this, 45 of that, 60 of whatever. Anyway, tell you what, we are at the bottom of the hour. If we have a bottom of the hour break, I'm trying to hit Edward because I know he might be busy with other things. I can actually do that as needed. So let me see what I can find here for us. And we're going to have to be a little creative. But for everybody out there listening it is Liberty Tree radio. It is communications Tuesday and If you have any questions about signal communications, of course, you can call into the program wait until after the bottom of the hour break and Oh something I found that was interesting and That might do. Yeah, might do me some good there, too anyway unique and odds and ends in nature. What can we find that might be useful for our purposes? You never know. I think I found a second. I'm playing with three things at once. The rain's coming down harder and I've got to get some critters covered up real quick here. So what I'm going to do, this is off the wall. Here we go. Agalectic, but if I got enough time I can make this work for me and I might be able to. So let's see what happens. And a one and a two and the bubble machine is going, kind of, sort of. We're headed that way. Oh, god, I hate advertisements when we do this. There it is. There it is. Not ours. Anyway. So let's see if we can get this going for, yeah, I think we can work this out. Now again, this is a little twilight zone. Hey, that's the way things should be. Let's see if we can make it work for us, or what can we make it work for us or against us. I'll be right back, right here, bottom of the hour break. Liberty Tree Radio and you're listening to Adam Ship. Yeah, Adam Ship. What the hell? Well, actually, aliens. We'll be back right here in just a minute. Adam Ship- commending barbecue sauce. But, in this case, all we need is a signed warning minefields. Hey, you know, see where you are. Mexico loved you, they let you in. Don't go any farther. Hey, go hug the Mexicans and tell them you want free from them and see what happens. Yeah, isn't that amazing? Yeah, Mexico's gonna let all these slobs in and run them towards the border But don't they do that with their own people too? Yeah, they're either the they're organized and hurting the slaves speak. That is the program. So for everybody out there, pay attention to the environment and remember that if you're going down on the border, it is hot. So sunscreen, water, make sure you got all the basics. If you know how you deal with hot weather and what affects you, you better make sure you cover your basis on that. Also, remember, find out about the ground critters in the area to include in the sex different areas. I mean, especially if you're down towards Texica, you're going to be down there in the, you know, moist district. Guys, there are critter cycles, bug cycles. Call down and ask, hey, anything I should know about? I'm coming down there to spend some time down there in say, whatever county. And insect problems, is it bug spawning time? Do the blood suckers come out? Because mosquitoes, things like that. One of the other places you can go for information on that are any of the organized hunting institutions that cover out in the field operations to begin with for whatever critter season might be in the agenda for hunting. Usually they do a pretty good job in the blogs and other pages and sites that are generated to prepare you for where you're going to be because they want you to come back and spend money hunting in their area again. So you're like particulars on that. Go ahead, we have a caller. Who do we have? Hey, George in Texas. One thing I learned about in the desert, you shake your sleeping bag out, you shake your socks out, and you shake your boots out. Mr. Scorpion loves them places. Yep, and there's a lot of other things that like maybe dark, quiet places where they can take advantage of whatever it is that you're wearing or well, you're not wearing for the moment. Yeah, well also too, you got some really some poisonous snakes in the desert too. Yep. And there again, we don't necessarily want to kill them off. We actually could probably just start even more and more over the Mexican side. Oh, wait a minute. That wouldn't be the way to do it. Maybe you just want them on our side of the border, but just a little bit. There we go. Well, Mark, I even have a sitting there reading our, I don't know if you get this when Obama comes into town. There is like a bunch of first responders bitching and moaning because when Obama comes to town, the roads are blocked and now we got critical injured patients that need to get to the hospital they you can't use medevac helicopters and uh... the streets are blocking you can't get to the hospital right long way around so why again what what benefit is there to having him around yet not a whole lot and again they're more paranoid than ever you know hyper paranoid because I'm sure the quote-unquote threat assessment is that everybody hates Bummer and so it's constantly a threat. The population is the enemy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, as we've seen so many times before. And because of that, again, who's the perceived enemy? Well, go look in the mirror. You are. And that's how they play the game with everything that they do. So, most important is that we remember to avoid, if we know he's going to be in town, avoid being in town. It's just that simple. Of course, for the guys who work at that, and for the people who really can't get away, well those are the ones who become the casualties slash the victims. It's not a surprise. I mean, think about it. Popularity is in the toilet. I mean, official. And they're doctoring it too. If they're trying to claim the number is as high as it is, we all know, guys, it's lower than that. I mean, come on. They always slide the scale up when it's something they want to see done in a certain way and always slide it down if it's the opposition. In other words, us doing something. So, expect that to be far worse than that, you know, for the Secret Service and all the other characters. Oh, they're just constantly trying to figure out how to be a step ahead of. Well, for instance, the Arabs who said they're going to come for them. Although, I think the Secret Service is kind of like we were talking about the first hour. They're probably trying to figure out if we leave them on the front porch, would they just take them and leave us alone? Well, I kind of have this assumption, Mark. It's like they say, You know, with the numerology, 33% of Americans think PAPABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABA They're not stepping forward. They had no problem stepping forward. Nixon, when the ring knockers were pushing them. But isn't it fascinating? Here we have such, you know, so many gross malfunctions that, you know, from this point forward, Nixon shouldn't even be a mention in the books mostly. Well Richard, Nixon was, he was impeached for what? I mean, come on. And right off the bat, as we know the transparency issue tied in with this character is obvious. I mean, it's a joke now. It's a constant joke. The only thing is how much more they can get away with before they can slide is ours out the door sideways, if they can. Do you think the elites will throw, you think his puppet masters will throw him under the bus when they know they can't get any more out of him and they know if he keeps him in office any longer they're going to come after them too? I think they're pulling them over as far as they can. Number one, again, If we were to get Bummer out, Biden, the lame, would be there to replace Obama with no brain. And then of course we've got Pelosi in there in the works too, so it's like you've got that fruitcake. And she can't read. I don't know why we'd be qualifying to put her hand up to become president, let alone even the job she's got. The fool can't figure out how to evaluate or assess things. We'll just plug it in and see what happens. Well, that's a person who needs to be hung. Certainly, I wouldn't hire the person. If you think about these characters and what they've proposed or how they've claimed they're doing their job, would you hire them? If you had your own real business and you were doing something and somebody said, well, I don't really know if I can do it. We just kind of, well, we'll just plug it in and see how it works and get along. It ain't going to happen. You're looking for somebody with some skill. Supposedly, these characters, all these lames went to college. Well, of course now, you know, kind of colleges they went to because they're liberal screaming nutcases. So, well, whatever they were doing, it certainly had nothing to do with any form of education because they were to confirm that. They don't know how to read. So I think pretty well the writing's on the wall there. Let's see, before we're going to farther, a couple other things. Oh, um... I did not get a confirmation, but AIM Surplus has gotten a bunch of GECO ammunition in. Good ammunition, brass case, well built. I've never had a problem with gecko ammo. The problem has been just being able to find any of it recently. Well, somebody made a bulk purchase, AIM did, or somebody's being, you know, gecko's finally bringing a quantity in. Whoever may have taken this long to get all the paperwork approved and finally get a rubber stamp to get it in. But it is there at AIMsurplus.com. Check out their front page, guys. AIMsurplus.com. Before we go any farther, just a reminder there, they've got a bunch of pistol ammo. Gecko that they just came in with that's at aimsurplus.com. In fact, I'm pretty sure they have 40 cal 380 Auto 38 Special 357 9x18 MacRuff and 40S and W again. So they've got several different, they've got a couple loads in certain types. Of course they do have black bear, huggy bear, green bear, pink bear, whatever bear, the gummy bear is being the cutest. And then they do have a bunch of preview partisan. They just of course brought in, well received, including some nine millimeter and a certain quantity of 7.65 Argentine again. So, if you're looking for the either unique ammo or if you're looking for standard pistol calibers, AIMSUR-Plus just made a deal on several different items or at least got them in finely in stock. Don't know what the quantity is, don't know how much of it is already sold out with this little push to go grab the AK ammunition or forgive me the Russian AKs. People have been snarfing up ammunition with it so it's kind of a double tap thing. The 38 is a conical jacketed round. It's not in the full AP, but it does have a mild conical. It's not the traditional round nose. So it's FMJ 38 Special, good load, 158 grain. It's basically the load that I would carry if I was using a 38 Special at this point in time. I know everybody, what about hollow poison martin? No, no, no, I'm looking at ball ammo. I'm looking at, again, penetration, which is what I'm really interested in. And with that semi-broad face, it flattens out or again, drops a lot of energy on the target anyway. You always go lead semi-wadcutter. That's pretty mean and does a nice chopping job too on top of everything else. So again, aimsurplus.com, aimsurplus.com, aimsurplus.com. The other thing that I've noticed, and I'm just going to look real quick, there are a number of Belgian Browning high powers that have come in that are military pistols. However, they're running up around Heller, the price of a Glock right now. So, for the cost, while they are an interesting weapon, run about $500 apiece, the low-end standard field grade are running about $410. Still, the price of a Glock. Browning high powers, love the pistol, we've bought thousands and tens of thousands of them in the militia. I've bought virtually well over a thousand that I know of over the years. We used to have a purchasing agency go out. They were actually people who were by, you know, scavenging for and brought in high powers in 1911s of any model were our priority. We vacuumed up the high powers. Good pistol, nothing wrong with them. Of course, the Glocks are a drug on the market too, but they're starting to slide up, guys. There's no real reason except there haven't been Glocks available. New Glock model 27 is running $500 and that's third generation not four. So you're looking at 500 to 560 up to six New Glock model 21 almost $600 apiece. So whatever repeat Oh no, that means they're not disposable firearms. No, I'm going to put that in a box where I don't lose it now because I'm sure they're not going to drop it at $600 a gun. It's starting to creep up towards doubling the price of a 1911. Think about it. You're looking at $600 a pistol, guys. I mean, for 45, Glock, it's nice gun, but it's not $600 worth of plastic, nice gun. I mean, for somebody who's got the money, I guess, and it's what your heart's set on? Hey, commandtastic. I don't care what you got, as long as you show up with it to fight when the time comes. But I would point out that that is a chunk of change, and you can find awfully nice 1911 and mags and ammo for the same price. Everybody, immediately. Rock Island. Go ahead, repeat. Yeah, Rock Island, yeah. Yeah, well, hey, it'll get the job done. False, fellas, I can beat the living snot out of you, and I know it's going to be in one piece when I'm done, and I can still reload and shoot you. You were talking about the Russian SAGAs and the Ishmarsas being stopped by Obama there. What about the other Ugo's? They're good. That's what I'm saying. The Ugo's are still coming? As far as we know, they're still coming in. They specifically named all the Russian companies. Remember, we read this a couple weeks ago now. I specifically read out the Russian companies that were affected, which are all the standard factories, the AK, you know, true Kalashnikov factories in Russia. Now, how that's affecting the ammunition, since, you know, for instance, you'll notice that red army stuff, which is Ukrainian, is popping up on the market still, but Wolf, and this means that Wolf and, you know, the Silver Bear and all those, those will be affected. So, whatever is out there in those particular areas of interest are going to be in place. It doesn't mean that the 760x54R, the Russian ammo won't be coming in, which by the way there is still a big pile of that, but I don't know how much that's going to get to us anymore. I mean, if I were the Russians, why buy so much? You can sell to the Ukrainian, the East Ukrainians, they've got Nagats, they've got Dragunov rifles, they've got RPDs. Forgive me, PKs, chain fed guns, and 7.62x54R, so they got places to sell it without dumping it here. It's like Syria and many other countries, but also a lot of places in Africa and Asia use that cartridge, and they're interested. So, make a place sell it. Go ahead. You once talked about how the Sega was a great format for shooting the 5.56 out of. Since we're talking maybe the Russians have stuff not coming in and it's possible that a lot of people still have a lot of 7.62x39 piled away. What is your opinion of the AR platform shooting the the 760 by 39. There's a couple of magazine pundits saying that it improves the accuracy of the round. Of course, it would improve the terminal ballistics of the AR platform. Right, a 20-inch barrel, which is what I prefer. A lot of our guys bought those when they first came out. Remember, Colt actually made some years ago. Some of the guys listening in Wisconsin have them. I know that. Some of the guys have emailed here during the program. The rifle itself, there's no problem with that. The problem has been cost. I mean, when they first came out, they were pricey and then they came down. And now it seems like everything they've swung up the other way. But if you were to just buy the upper, I mean, the magazine well's the same. You can use a standard mag. In fact, I've commented on this before. What I would use initially are 20 round mags. They're not going to hold 20 rounds. You're getting about 13, 14 rounds, I think, per mag. Because remember the bullet's a little chunkier. And you've got to take into consideration pivot, pitch, because remember that's why the AR762 by 39 mags have more of a banana bend to them. Yeah, I've seen them. Because of the shape of the case. But a 20-rounder, a straight 20, it'll be a 14-round or 16-round mag, depending on what you do and what follower it's got. That worked for me. I carry those. I carry pilots anyway, even if I had the correct mag. If I had the 7.62x39 mag. Otherwise, knock down power, everything else. All they're doing with all these other exotic .223 blackout and such, that's not .223, it's .223 case based, is trying to match 7.62x39 ballistics. They want to do anything but go to the 7.62x39 so they came up with all these other you know solutions and If you look at it all they're trying to do is figure out how to get you know somewhere around the 7.62x39 knockdown in an AR-15 you know weapon system with a new cartridge an American cartridge well I know it's a foreign case, but you know hey it works It would be the logical system would be to just go to 7.62x39 and then take advantage of all those piles of ammo that are laying around. And that are still being built, they're still making 7.62x39, they're going to stop doing that for a long time. And American producers are making it and have been for quite some time too. So we've got availability both ways. So you're saying an upward 7.62 by 39 would be a good path. Well yeah, in fact, I'll tell you what, be quite honest, if I were poor, but I still, you know, you could keep chugging away stuff, like, you know, single guys can do this where married guys usually have somebody, you know, tell them what they can, you know, how much you're going to invest. But a single guy, an AR-15 lower standard stock, In a standard air 15 lower in fact, but spend all money there buy a machine, but initially buy whatever is the cheapest With a two two three twenty inch barrel on the roof, you know the upper upper receiver The next thing I would buy would be a 762 by 39 upper if I were just starting out Then the next thing I would try to find is one of those 5 7 FN uppers that's the got to take the it takes the PS 90 magazine Remember those the five seven ARs they came out with the uppers only You can drop it right on any air and all of a sudden you're using five seven FN now the reason I do that because there are a lot of ps90s out there and the magazines if you can get the it'll take the 50 or 100 hundred count weapon, you know a hundred count mag and Well, it's another one of those odd man out that we know that the ammunition is out there We know the pistols are out there if nothing else Even though they might not have adopted the ps90 They certainly are carrying the FN pistol. That's out there. Because it's a modern machine pistol, it's a large capacity, not large. It's a big large. capacity. It's a zip gun with regard to velocity. There's nothing more than a baby assault pistol. Because it's out there that would be the next one I get because it's kind of cool. Lots of ammunition for minimal weight. And there's another reason of all of the uppers, that one is completely self-contained and I could come up with a crude and rude system or another lower progressively like in plastic and I could get that gun operational quickly and separately from everything else. I put a plastic upper or lower on that one, let down the road. And then progressively if I decided I had more money I'd start buying lowers or 80% lowers, build them up and every one of my uppers would eventually have a lower. But I just go uppers and save that couple hundred dollars to get diversified right off the bat. And the second purchase would be $7.62 by $39. First one would be get it in $2.23. And then 7.62x39 and then if you have some other special flavor in terms of the blackout or whatever else, hey, go with it, run with it. It's not going to be that common and it'll be some of the first ammunition though that will be hard to get in terms of battlefield replacement. That's the only thing to think about with the 6mm blackout and the other 30 caliber or close to 30 caliber built up 223 cartridges they've invented. They're good cartridges. Nothing wrong with it. Just personal choice there, though. That's a matter of flavor of the day. What can you find ammo for and what do you like? Yeah, like 6.8 grand, though. Yeah, exactly. They like it a lot. Yeah, and that's got all kinds of knockdown power. Everybody's been satisfied with what it does, but it's, again, what's it trying to do? It's trying to match up against that 7.62 by a 39. The only difference is they needed more of a straight case because of the nature of the AR-15 design and its original intent with Stoner. What he based his technology on. All the geometry of the 30 out of 6 case scaled down to 223. So the basic workings still have to meet the original case specs to some degree. They pivot the side of the case to break adhesion between the chamber and the cartridge, the empty case, to reduce wear and tear and to improve performance with regard to reliability and extraction. That's why the AK is tapered the way it is. That's why the 762x54R is tapered the way it is. Because that kind of wedgie format allows for it to more easily break contact even if the case has expanded in a worn chamber or a tired chamber. The chamber progressively will wear in a positive way. It's a positive pitch. Whereas a straight case, you have, you know, there are a lot of other issues and considerations that can develop. If you have a flaw, it's going to cause a space, you know, in other words, a scored chamber or a scored chamber because of oxidation. You know, somebody let it rust, they cleaned it out. You've got, even if you polish it out, it's a little distorted. That expands and then you've got other issues. Then your extractor is taking more stress and other things are happening. When you have a little more radical pitch to the side wall of the case, then even if it does have scoring problems, It still will break contact more efficiently by the very nature of how when it's pulled away, the two walls are working away from each other. The other cool thing is as far as wear and tear and wearing in the chamber, it wears in a positive fashion with regard to how the case seats as it wears the side walls of the chamber itself, which is really neat. It's a positive wedge. That's the idea behind the design of their case. It would have been a lot more simple just to go to the 760 by 39 instead of doing all these others. I wonder why they didn't do that. That's because of national pride. Everybody talks about it. All those other guys are stupid. Why the Japanese make this or that? Well, because of national pride. The US is no different, at least to a degree, not completely. There's a schism. mental process that's developed by each of these countries. It's why certain designs, why would they ever do certain things? Only because it's what nobody else does and we did it ourselves. You know, the Air 15 in some ways is the answer to a question that was never asked. It has some great ideas. But at the same time that it came out, the M60 came out really parallel with it. Think about it. Look at all the problems you have with the 60. You either loved it or you hated it. If you knew what to do with it, you knew how to wink, make it run, everybody loved the hog. But if you didn't know what you were doing with it, it could get you killed or it could get you hurt real quick and just bail on you. Anyway, we're at the top. Close with me. God bless the Republic.
