Summary
Mark Koernke discussed firearms procurement and maintenance, focusing on affordable rifle options including Russian Saiga shotguns and SKS rifles available through Royal Tiger Imports and Sarco Inc. He provided detailed guidance on restoring used SKS rifles, including disassembly, rust removal, painting, and parts sourcing. The show covered ammunition availability, particularly 8mm Mauser and .545x39, and historical context on surplus weapons brought back from Vietnam and World War II. A caller raised concerns about U.S. airstrikes in Iraq targeting ISIS, which Koernke attributed to Israeli operations against Christians, and another caller reported an NYPD officer shooting a three-month-old child.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet 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.

It is the sixth year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K 2014 Old Earth Calendar or Mayan Crazy Town or Nostradamus Dean Calendar. Take your pick, whichever one you feel good about. and whatever one you can use as a cop-out sit on your hands and claim you can't do nothing. Who loves you, Boopie? Keep it up. Yo, peace, love dope. Now get the hell out. Anyway, it is Friday. It is Cinco di Mo' Day. And it is also, of course, well, Quartermaster Friday. There is a little bit of a shift in things I'm noticing with regard to what they're posting in the market for guns this week. Mostly this started about Wednesday, but the Russian stuff is all being thrown up front. To kind of remind everybody, hey, we still have something. Now remember when I told you to buy those Sega shotguns for $179 and $185? And then they were, the most they were expensive was when they were $250, $259, I mean, initially. Well, the Russian SEGA 410 shotguns, hey, they've got them with the 19 inch barrel for only $600! So in other words, for you guys who bought your SEGA shotguns at under $200 apiece, yeah, you bought three of them for the price of what one is going for now. Kind of tells you something about the value of what you picked up when we told you to it's I told you so I told you so yes I told you so now it really is fascinating to me is the 410 is running $600 for a Sega Russian Sega 410, right and Right below I can get a 5 4 5 by 39 IZ 240 Sega Rifle for $500 Now to be quite honest, I think the Sega 410 or their shotguns are excellent. This is the traditional original model as they came in. It's got the C type stock, not a pistol grip. Standard, straight comb, everything is exactly as they originally came in to qualify as a sporter. I would leave the gun that way. I wouldn't change it at all. I just buy more mags. Buy more mags? Oh, did I say buy more mags? Hey, by the way, buy a drum. Buy more mags. Don't change it out. Don't let anybody convince you to start altering stuff. No, the hell with that. Just buy more mags. That's the Sega. Why? Because, well, the Sega shotguns, they're not going to be available for a while. And mags, well, what we've got in the country is all you've got in the country. Okay? The 545 by 39 Sega, I mentioned this morning, we haven't talked about the 545 as much because when they were cheaper by about 60, 70 dollars and 100 dollars less per rifle, they were great. And the Sega rifles were under 200 dollars. Then they went to about 200, then they went to 250, and the rest is history. Well right now for 500 dollars, that's a mid-range price, but it is a 545 gun. and 545 ammunition is still readily available. So it's a personal choice thing. Once again, would I change that rifle? No. The only thing I would do, I would probably add a Tapco type long body star flash hider to the front of it. That's it. I would also, because it's set up with a rail, immediately it would be set up with Don's night vision and it would be set up with an intermediate fixed power scope. I would not have a variable, unless I got a cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, otherwise I just go with a fixed, non-variable scope on that rifle. I kiss, keep it simple, stupid. Hold on a second, George. The other thing about it here is, again, magazines are readily available, and let's not forget that we can also convert that rifle over to an AR-15 system. TexasAKDesigns.com, which by the way the company has changed names, I don't have it right here in front of me, but if you go to www.texasakdesigns.com it will take you to the new webpage. They have an insert that will go right in that magazine well and guess what? Now you can use AR-15 mags in that Sega. Now I will point out you won't be able to carry as many 545 rounds in an AR-15 mag But there's a whole lot of 20 round AR-15 mags laying around for a whole hell of a lot less than the price of a custom Sega magazine. You see how that works? In fact, the one time where you buy the adapter, it costs basically what a large capacity mag for the Sega would cost. So, you switched over to AR mags, now you're running AR mags all day. Congratulations. All done. Kind of cool. Anyway, we have George here. What do you got, George? Well, our Nagart's getting expensive now, too. No, that well when they got to not all mostly haven't been from Russia not all of them a big chunk of been from Romania Bulgaria, etc. So While the Russian ones were still coming in a lot of those were contract guns It's kind of like these SKS is in fact I'm gonna bring that up in a minute to the nagats will be progressively go up in price anyway They already have I mean we were buying nagats for $69 apiece only a couple years ago Now they're 130 140 150 dollars apiece. They've already doubled in price and they're not going to go down. I mean, number one, as I pointed out, there is no other gun on the market to replace the Nagat. The only thing that's going to happen now are going to be odd lot, odd man out lumps of weapons from like Spain, South America, if they're allowed in, and maybe from Southeast Asia because a lot of K-98 Mausers went to Vietnam. A lot of other bolt-action rifles went to Vietnam and Cambodia and Thailand and etc., etc., Laos. So whether or not they've chopped them up because of the anti-gun and UN buyback program or whatever, that's going to determine how many show up out of that piece of real estate. I would point out again that there's a bunch of Chinese SKS coming into the country right now. Well, at least a small quantity. But they're not from China. They're Chinese made. But, as was acknowledged by the guy who is selling them, they were in a neutral country for 20 years. Well, the only real neutral countries are like Switzerland and Finland. Pretty much everybody else has got a side. So it's not that they were neutral. They were in communist Vietnam. Vietnam had piles and piles of SKS's, as did Laos, as did Cambodia, as did several of the island countries of the West Pacific. And Africa has tons of them. So, most likely because the way they're downplaying this is like I said, they're from Vietnam. I've had one person say that he believed they're from Vietnam but he can't get a confirmation on it. So what happened is, they're thinking that would be a stigma. In reality, it's no more of a stigma and all these guys I know from World War II who bought German K-98 Mausers that were shooting at them all through the war. Well, the SKS carbines, those guys that originally bought their SKS carbines, they wanted them because that's what they were fighting during the war and they were impressed with them despite what everybody says. It did kind of get your attention when somebody next to you got shot dead cold. As it is, these SKSs are probably the best example of little pockets that you'll be finding here and there that they may allow in and then they may not. But because they're a country they want to buy up or they want to buy off or some prostitute war effort somewhere They'll let them bring the weapons. It's like Turkey all these guns from Turkey guys We never saw any guns from Turkey ever All of a sudden we got semi-automatic shotguns that are evil, but we could have men from Turkey We got pistols galore the canics are all over the place and again Why? Because we're buying them as a prostitute to get them to fight on our side or get them to vote a certain way. All of a sudden they can bring guns into the country. Like China, they stopped doing it because they realized we weren't buying guns for the fun of it. We were buying guns to kill Chinese. That's why they stopped bringing them in. Stopped that they got blocked from the Clinton in because they didn't. They could still bring AKs and SKSs in. They didn't get banned. The Chinese are the ones who did it from the other end. It didn't happen from this end. It happened from the China end. Because they realized we were taking it seriously. They were kind of laughing because you know, if they were sending the SKS's here for nothing. But what happened is, its timing is everything and the greed factor is fantastic, but also the not knowing the economic translation. The Vietnam era's cast is that the Chinese sold, their logic was, well we give those to us, chump chains like to the Africans. We got hold of them and we treated them seriously. They maintained them, upgraded them, and we made them reserve weapons that weren't falling apart and rushing apart in a couple years. pretty much all the SKS's we picked up are looking better than when they came in here. A lot of times Mark, we have groups of vets that go in and they want to claim their relatives belongings and they get these groups together and they go into Vietnam and do what they do. I bet you a lot of those guys are bringing back a lot of weaponry that they find. Well, they're not allowed to, yeah, they're real anal-retentive about that. Both the communists and elves. Yeah, and then the problem is that, you know, most of it, they're allowed to move deactivated weapons, but the amount of paperwork and BS you go through is just horrendous depending upon the country and what UN agreement they've signed, etc. That's part of the issue. They're not going to smuggle very much back. I was always wondering about that. They just kept sending packages home and Browning machine guns, BARs, M14s, but M60s came back in many different forms as far as how they got back, but they got back in pieces. Before 1966, 67, actually 67 was the cutoff. If you put a package in the mail from the Vietnam end, it had to go right to your doorstep. And I know guys that filled up bunkers. literally bunkers the size of my house with stuff they because they didn't have anything else to do they were married but they didn't waste their time and you know debauchery you'll go on debauchery efforts over there they went and scoured the battlefield and bought everything they could from every little Vietnamese hack that would sell his gun and they ended up, plus spare parts and stuff being dropped. They sent back barrels by the dozens, they sent back links even though they didn't really need to do that. But they sent back every part to do two, three, or four M60s and they didn't sell them. They went to their sons. Their sons maintained them. And their sons' sons will be maintaining them next. And there's whole arsenals like that out here. Let me, just from World War II, We have acquired so much stuff. It used to be especially in that window from the 70s through to the early 80s. When the Vietnam, well Vietnam of course was winding down, the World War II vets, a lot of the middle-aged guys from the war were getting up along in the tooth and they wanted retirement money because they were going to Florida. So they were smart. All the stuff they put in the footlockers, they came out with and sold to a lot of us. And I can't tell you how many hundreds of, for instance, what everybody calls knee mortars, are where they should be now. And I'm not exaggerating about hundreds. I'm talking so many of those got carried back. So many of the rifles obviously, the Air Sako is nothing, but I've seen, for instance, like I've said, the Japanese 7.7 grand, very supposedly rare, it is. But at the end of the war, a lot of guys picked them up during the surrender and they brought them back from Okinawa or they brought them back from the occupation of Japan. But they also brought back woodpeckers, 7.7 stick machine guns, all kinds of stuff. And there ain't no paperwork on this. This stuff is, I've seen artillery pieces. Some of these guys brought back little jab howitzers. A piece at a time. It's just, you know, that's what's coming out of the wood. When this starts, it's, well, what's obsolete? Yeah, yeah, killed lots of Marines and American soldiers. Dead, dead, dead. It's totally obsolete. Yep, I don't think it'll kill anybody today like the many it probably killed back in the day. Right? Yeah. It's why, let's see, that obsolete MG 42, I mean, the happy obsolete, it was built in World War II, right? Except that the Germans built an exact copy called the MG1 in 308. And there's the MG, all the MG guns that are made now, all they did is re-knock designs that have been around forever. Well, not forever, but since World War II. So that's the stuff that's coming out of the woodwork. Well, from Europe, oh God. I've seen the stuff that guys carried back, just like in MG42s or MG34s, and then there's been surplus parts kits. So they brought the guns back, but they might have had one or two things, or they didn't bring the parts kits back. Well then, in the last 30 years, all the parts kits were the MG34s or the MG18s. A lot of guys captured the MG18s, which are a magazine-fed machine gun. and up a few years ago you could buy a complete box set of 10, oh eight MG18 magazines, 30 rounders for a whopping $6 a mag and they were virtually pristine in an original transport box. Now if you had the gun, all you had to do was be patient and these guys went out and bought 10, 15, 20, 50 magazines and went and bought a whole lot of that 8mm ammo that was $60 for 1500 rounds when I told everybody two years ago, you know, $60 for 1,500 rounds in a can, a big fabricated can of 8mm Mauser. Think about it. That's the stuff that's going to be coming out of the woodwork and bowing holes in them and it's not going to be small caliber and it's not going to be light equipment. That's the only comical part about this is that if we get to war here, if we go to war here, there's such a lion's share of 8mm Mauser, 303 British Enfields, M1 Garands, 1903 Springfields, 1917 Enfields, hell, if you name it, main battle rifle calibers, we've got them and we've got them in spades. That's what I'd be shooting them with. It's like I said, or again, the other lighter rifles when the time comes, but you know, on that note, I want to before I forget, guys, over at Royal Tiger Imports, Royal Tiger Imports, www.royaltigerimports.com. Front page, I got it as an email because I've got, you know, get on the email list to get the information as it comes out. They have A, B, C, and D grade SKSs. Now, you read what the difference is. Now, like I said this morning, I buy a D-grade one for 200. Why? All the parts are there, but it supposedly, quote unquote, doesn't work. Well, what's got it is there's an oxidation somewhere. But also, it's a field grade gun. Now, you want to go $220, you can get one that's got a crack stock, and it works. But it's, again, fair to good condition or fair to excellent condition. So, I mean, they actually said that. Fair to excellence, like, whoa, that's a wide range. But anyway, if you want to change out the stocks, either go find a Chinese one for $5 in a junk box, which is what I do first. But in the meantime, for $30, you can get a Monte Carlo standard SKS choke stock, and that's all you need. I wouldn't go anything fancy, I wouldn't change the weapon out. If you're going to do anything for a scope, you buy an SKS dust cover scope mount. They're still out there for about $35 with all the trimmings. You get the scope mount, you get the fixture, you get the dust cover, all of it's attached in one module. And then you've got a scope to go on it for about $35, $37. Well, you can't beat that for anything. You don't get rid of the old dust cover. You put the dust cover into your combat kit for in the field. You throw that scope system on there. You may not want to use the day scope, you may use it for that Dons night vision device. And you got yourself a nice little tack driving rifle. I don't care what anybody says. SKS with 20 inch barrels, got more energy, plenty of accuracy. And clean it up, make it yours. Personally what I'd do with it, clean it up, make sure all the rust is off it, I'd camouflage it. Don't even hesitate right now. Number one, it's an inexpensive rifle by comparison. Yeah, the finish is tired anyway. Paint it up. That'll preserve everything so it doesn't rust anymore. Also, subdues it so it blends in with the environment. And you got yourself a really cool butt-looking weapon when the time comes. If you're looking for cool, that's a way to make it cool. And by the way, since the stock may need to be repaired if it was cracked, which you can repair the existing stock, soak it in water, take all the metal parts off. soak it in wet rags. You'll find that all those little dimples and things will start to suck out. And then once you do that, clean off whatever lacquer is left. Make sure you let everything dry out and paint the stock just like you painted the rifle. There you go. Now you got yourself a real modern-esque looking firearm. Come bring it up into the 21st century if you're looking cool. See, just again, because it's a work tool, guys. Doesn't have to be pretty on the outside. Just got to be functional on the inside. Another thing is I would recommend that you're all buying paint in preparation for what's coming because those purified stocks and all them pretty black parts should all be subdued in other colors. And it doesn't have to stick perfect. All you have to do is get it so it covers up and breaks up that pattern. But black is not a real natural color out there. And even the other AKs that are black and they've got wood stocks, hey, real quick it's going to blend in with the environment. Was that 200 for Wiccan? If you go to, in fact I'll do, hold on, I'm going to post this in the chat room for everybody again right here. I might as well do while we're talking about it. www.royaltigerimports.com. I'm pretty sure I got that right. Let's double check to make sure. Let's find out. RoyalTigerimports.com. Oh, you like that? I got it right. RTI, RoyalTigerimports.com, right on the top of the page. starting at $199.95. Chinese SKS blowout sale! Big time, big time Chinese SKS. Anyway, if you go down below, there's a picture of, uh oh, where'd the picture of the SKS go? Oh, buggers. Well, they couldn't have sold out of them already. Now, it's weird. I don't think they sold out. They could have. They've been busy today, I'll tell you what. I tried to call in a couple times and they were swamped. because a lot of people like the SKS. Let's go here. Let's go to Riffles. And then we're going to go to SKS in here somewhere. If we go to Riffles, and there's lots of 8Ks, and many 8Ks, and many 8Ks. Hold on here. I'll see if I can find it for you guys. The icon with the picture of the SKS blog does not take you to where you need to go. So you have to scroll through everything. Let's do it this way. AKM-16, California Legal Collectibles and Relics. Let's try collectibles and relics and see what happens. Yep, we go right there. When you go to collectibles and relics, it's the SKS! We have four grades. I'm going to read this out to everybody. Grade A, good to very good condition. In other words, guys, you still have finished, you know, rubbed off and the stocks are beat up a little bit, but they're prettier. These rifles are hand select. Rifles are in working order. They feature mostly matching serial numbers, which I don't care about. at least 70% finish and a nice stock. Okay, so in other words, and don't worry about the $20 for select, it doesn't get you anything better. Grade B, fair to good condition, $245.95. By the way, Grade A is $300. So $246 will get you a Grade B rifle. These rifles are in fair to good condition. All rifles are in working order. Matching numbers, not guaranteed. Grade C, Fair to good condition, but no rust, but with small crack in stock. $220. Well, yeah, $220. Rifles are in fair to good condition. Not all rifles are in working order. Wait a minute. And stocks are cracked or damaged. Now there's grade D, grade D. Rusted, pitted, and cracked stock. $200 apiece. Rifles have minor pitting or corrosion. Rifles will not be in working order. All rifles have cracked or damaged stocks. No returns on D-grade rifles. Okay, now I would point out if you take a look at this, there is a pictorial. Okay, there is a picture. Let's see if we got it here. Let's go to that. There we go. Now, There is a collection of images and image number nine shows you a good close-up of a grade D rifle. Now, I'm gonna tell you something that grade D rifle doesn't look any better nor any worse than the best shooting SKS I have which looks just like that rifle. Now if you pay attention, it's not rusty in the picture, although there's probably some oxidation on it and I know where it will be. That's grease. These weapons were field greased. In other words, armory greased, crude maroon. and put away. Now if you look at picture number eight you will see that there is some oxidation up on the bolt carrier on the very leading edge on the top typical where stuff is left laying around and moisture builds up and also on the base of the magazine well on the leading edges on the side which that again it's not major it's just yeah there's pitting. The stock's crude and rude, dude. But that's exactly what you expect from a very used weapon. Now, first thing I said this morning when I would do this rifle, I would clean everything off the surface areas I can right away. I would get the best penetrating oil that you decide that you think is the most wonderful thing on the planet. And I would touch all of the screws and all of the bearing surfaces where you think there's a problem with regard to disconnecting them. And then I would walk away. Halfway through the day I would come back and I would look at the rifle, it hasn't gone anywhere, and I would do it again. Lubricate it all again with penetrating oil. Then I'd walk away for the night and I'd come back the next day and I'd do it one more time and I would let it sit. Wouldn't touch it, wouldn't move anything. Then I'd make sure I had screwdrivers that were the proper size. Go to Harbor Freight and get yourself a set. You can get armor screwdrivers from Harbor Freight, but if you get a nice big set of screwdrivers you'll get pretty much every size blade you need anyway. Before you even start trying to use any of these screws, look at the grease. When you clean these things out, completely clean out each of the screw slots. Typically, those first of all will have some grease in them. Number two, they are most likely to be the place where oxidation slash rust has built up. So you may have to clean out that trough, in other words that slot on the screw head, so that you can properly affix the screwdriver. After that, use a little bit of Armstrong, but again, don't overbear anything if you start to get it to move, but it looks like there's still a problem, and if it locks up again, stop. Now here's what you do. Spray it with lubricant, spray it with a penetrating oil again, then back the screw off to where it originally started and spray it again. Why? Well now you've got it between the threads. The penetrant is between the threads that are already free and it will work laterally down the thread track, which is what you want it to do. Now the important thing here is to be patient and what I want to do is I want to get every stinking part away from the other and disassemble them. I'm not going to take the barrel off the gun, but I'm going to disassemble it down to armory maintenance. I'm going to take everything off this gun that I can. Now a little hint. If the weapon has oxidation around certain parts, remember what we've talked about here in the last couple of months, reinforcing about, again, penetrating oil on the extractor, on the ejector, and certainly in the firing pin track hole itself, the firing pin channel. That will initiate being able to break any oxidation that may be there, because typically there's never the right maintenance done on those parts, ever. So, before anything does become a problem, we're going to see ahead and we're going to clean that up. We're going to disassemble that bolt completely. We're going to disassemble all of the nuts, bolts, and screws and all of the other bearing surfaces. We're going to pull it out of that stock, then we're going to clean all the yucky stuff that's underneath that receiver and on the bottom of that barrel that you couldn't see before. When we're done with all of that, we're going to look at that stock and see if we can rebuild it. And I'll never throw a stock away. I don't care how rough it is, and I'll tell you why. Years ago, I was in a drill team and we used to go through 1903 stocks guys like there was you know like there were popcorn of course we had piles of them from the donut of destruction. When we would beat a stock up and get to the point where it's like okay we probably got to take those off because we crack them and you don't want to get shish kabob by a crack stock when you're doing a waterfall or if you're spinning the rifle in any way and you put your hand out to catch that weapon in the air and you caught it and that piece of skewered wood goes right through your hand Yeah, that can happen. So we take the stocks off. Well, Mark, we're going to throw them away. So I said, well, Sarge, what are we going to do with them? And the NCO in charge of the drill team said, we're going to throw them away. And I said, well, can I have them? And he said, why, yes, you can. So Mark took a whole bunch of those and put them away. And these were 1903 A3C stocks. When I got them, you could buy them for $10 apiece. Today, even busted that stupid stock is worth $160. You see how that works? There aren't any more SKS stocks that are being made from 1964. And so all these stocks and any parts you're taking off, you do not get rid of. Down the road, somebody may have no stock, and you have to make something work. So keeping those parts that you already paid for is kind of critical. Otherwise, go get yourself a plastic stock of whatever kind you want. And after we've cleaned all of that nasty rust and oxidation off all those parts, and we decide how we want to put them back together. We're going to tape off the parts that aren't going to be painted and we're going to paint. We're going to go to town after we do a stripper job. We're going to make sure we strip all those oils and lubricants off of all that metal. We're going to paint it. Whatever camouflage you want and whatever kind of paint job you want. And there's all kinds of Dura-Mold and there's Dura-Paints and there's whatever you want. Take your pick. You, flavor of the day. Whatever works for you. I don't care. But we're going to cover that metal with paint so that we don't have to worry about all that metal that we cleaned up from rusting again because we're going to put an oxygen barrier over all of those parts. Now, the only thing that will be a variation on this is like I said with the SKS, I'm not worried about changing out that rear slide site. Instead, the SKS years ago, Tapco and a company that Tapco bought the system from, and by the way, the Chinese built these first, there is an SKS replacement dust cover, two models. Both of them you de-pin the existing dust cover and just take it off the way you normally would. You lay the new one in, pin it in place, and congratulations, you now have a rifle scope mount. There are two models pinned, actually there's four because another company made two more, that have lock pins and actually lock pin hex head screws that actually create tension on the receiver. They don't drill or bore it, they just create tension. Now you have the ability to mount either your night vision device or to mount a modern daytime scope of whatever model you feel is appropriate. Now if you do use a scope mount system, I'm going to remind you that your SKS uses stripper clips. If you go to scope mounts, then you're going to be hand loading individual chiclets. That's the only thing that's going to be a variation that you have to take into consideration. But if it's a night fire device, I'm not spraying and praying. The idea is that your night vision device gives you the ability to focus with accuracy in the evening the same way that you would focus with accuracy with a scope during the day. So there is a personal choice. But for the price, again, you figure that you've got to fix something up anyway. I would take those stocks, since I've got them off, look at the problem. I would brass, screw, and glue them to US armory specifications. That is a fix that it was in the armory books. It works. The brass screws are screwed in. You cut off the excess flush with the wood. You then hone that area and then clean the stock the rest of the way. Relin seed oil it or if you strip it all off you then camouflage it the same as your rifle if you want to go that way. If you're going to go to a different stock, don't worry about it for the time being. Just fix the stock up so it's serviceable because if somebody else has a busted stock you've already got something to put back on the weapon. Maybe you find a weapon that's got a busted stock and there aren't any laying around and you don't have both parts. Maybe it's busted in half. Well, you've got an old stock, it's better than no stock. Just that simple. So again, these are a solution and that is that Royal Tiger imports. RoyalTigerimports.com. It is the Chinese Type 56 SKS. They're not from China, as they'll even tell you down below. They came from a neutral country after being stored there for 20 years. Really? So they were in the Rent a Revolution inventory and they were kind of piled up and somebody got a special dispensation slash Hail Mary to bring them in. but they are Chinese SKS's. So if you already got Chinese SKS's and you were looking for more to improve in your inventory, here you go. If you've got SKS's but you have Yugos, hey, you already know how to use the Yugo, this SKS Chikom model won't be a problem at all. Either way, it's probably the most affordable gas-operated rifle right now, and considering that we're looking at AK's for about twice, three times that, by two or three of these rifles for the 510 program for the price of one AK. Now the other thing, go ahead, go ahead, color. That even beats Sarko's $150 starter kit for SKS. I think it comes with everything but a few parts, stock, barrel, receiver, and I think some other parts. Wait a minute, who has that? I don't know if they still have them. I saw them up too long ago. Those would be worth having if you have an SKS inventory. If you still have those, I'd grab one. Go ahead. There was 150. I saw them in a couple of weeks, at least two weeks ago, in one of the color-covered Well, what's interesting about that is remember, Sarco has barreled receivers and inventory right now for $70. Yeah, and for a little bit more you get a little bit more you get a for the 150 you get the stock I think and I don't think you get a trigger root but you get in the no piston but you get a lot of parts. Well, I'll have to check that out. In fact, let's do this. Let's see what they have at we're going to go to www. dot e dash sarco dot com because he may still have some of those and again they probably came from the same source if they're chinese parts that doesn't mean sarco doesn't have stuff in in tunnels they have they have stuff in mines all over the place in pennsylvania and that's what they do it's kind of like a wine cellar you know they get out of the wine cellar and they the doors are a little rusty And then the dust settles and they go grab some of those, grab some of those, grab a few more of those, and one or two of those. And we'll bring them up. And they discover them, which is what happened. And then they go, eeeeek! And they close the door again for a while, then they come back later. So that's pretty cool. A, by the way, thank you for taking me to this page. Attention, attention, attention. For all of you nagot lovers, Springfield lovers, all you guys have K98 Mausers, right? Well, did you notice right in the middle of the page what they got sitting here? It's a US military type, but it looks like it's a little more sporty. It is a leather high-rise sniper cheek pad for $19.95. So for any of you guys, it's a Laysan model like we had on the M1D and on the 1903A3 in the sniper configuration, whispering death. I'll see rugged leather cheek pad for M1 Garans, M1A, and similar sized firearm stocks, just like the standard Garan cheek pad, but with higher cheek support for taller scope mounts. Oil it well and it will last a lifetime. Comes with leather lacing. $20 a piece. That is a great buy. It's a remake, but it's a serviceable piece of equipment there, guys. So thank you for bringing that up. We found something right there that definitely is worthwhile. In fact, wow, we've got a couple other things here. Well, a Grand Accessory Pack, not critical, but it's not bad for $80 with what all they've got in there. So you might want to check that out for you Grand Operators. You might want to take a look at that guys. There's an interesting selection of onesies and threesies and twosies. And one of the things they include there is a in the brown marksman's cheek, the rifle pad, just like we were just talking about. But instead of black, it's in the original brown. So check the front page. Go to e-sarcoinc.com, e-sarcoinc.com. And I don't see the SKS on the front page. That doesn't mean they don't have it. It just means we're going to have to go look to see what they have in the way of kits. Let's go to Kits here real quick and see what they have in the way of parts kits. And the reason is if they have the SKS parts, and I would recommend this anyway, if they still have the parts kits for the SKS, if you have a rack of SKS's already and you didn't pick up parts years ago, a parts kit like this is a solution to the problem. And it is an issue because you got to be able to keep these things running guys, okay? So far on the front page, I don't but man they did add a bunch of other kits everybody should go to e-circo ink and Look to see what they have on the shelf right now. It might apply to what you're doing out there guys a Lot of air 15 course they do have a lot of 45 kits to right now many many including all a pair of ordinance goodies Let's go to page two and see we can find if they have these I hope they do Now they got the BM 59 kits those are actually a pretty good price, but they again still pricey Unless it's in specials was it a special do you know? No, it just it just shows the October. This is the July 20th issue. I'm looking at and it's still Yeah, let's go rifle parts and accessories and see we can find here. Maybe we got something that direction Rifle parts and row gun parts and accessory deals hey deal. in decent shape, three for nine dollars. If you have an FAL, or again, if you're one of the units that has a whole bunch of FALs, and by the way, we've built many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many FALs. That's an opportunity. So check that out. There's some other stuff that they've added in their deals and package deals where they've got quantity prices. You wanna check that out. There's a bunch of stuff that they've added there, and they've got everything in good quantity. So you definitely want to check that out. Take the time and look at it. Interestingly enough, they are showing SKS bolt carriers new for $27.95 and that is not bad. They also show SKS bolt new stripped, they've stolen all the parts off to sell, for $35. But again, if you're patient, you keep, because yeah, there's the firing pin down below for $15. I wonder where that came from. Oh wait a minute, there's the strip bolt up in front. Yeah. So anyway, they do have all the other, you know, tidbit parts. Firing pin, retaining pin, new, brand new for $875. That's a good price, guys. And most of the other parts are listed down below. If you needed a replacement 10 round magazine body, they've got those. I don't see the spring follower right away. Okay, there we go. Yes, it is. SCAS Magazine follower, new, $7.50. So there are some pretty good buys or some decent parts items here if you needed certain spares SKS rear sight button new retainer for dollars Looks like they parted out obviously a bunch of SKS's but what I don't see now let's go look over here in receivers and weapons just to see what they have and The reason I bring that up is because again as I pointed out quite a while ago here they have have or they have had SKS barreled receivers and they actually are very good prices $70 about $70 or $79 right around there I don't know what they're going for right now but I would recommend if you guys are looking at, if you already have an SKS inventory spare parts, spare parts, spare parts and by the way if you at least have one example of a brand new spare part then you have an example that a guy with a CNC machine can use to map out and make more parts for you See, all you have to do is have a brand new one. One brand new part. Oh, that's right. Look, that SKS firing pin retainer pin is brand new. That means you take that to a guy with a CNC machine, and you tell him, you see this? I need a whole bunch of these. What do you want it in? 41.30 or 41.40 chromoly. Oh, OK. No problem. How many do you want? Well, how much are you going to cost? They give you a quote. You decide how many you can crank out. And you know what, after he builds them, anytime you come back he just punches the program in, throws the metal stock in there, and you have parts in a couple of hours. Mark. See how that works? Go ahead, caller. Yeah, Georgetown, Texas again. I'm sitting there just watching news and I just noticed they were talking about the US airstrikes in Iraq supposedly hitting BSBA, ISIS, whatever. And I noticed with the pictures, they're showing no pictures of any precision airstrikes and the aircraft carrier they showed, the George H.W. Bush. Nobody's taking off, Marcus. I don't really believe that the government's really bombing anybody. Well, it's probably a stock image and besides what we're doing, we're probably bombing the Christians that are trying to evacuate so that BSBS can finish the Christians off for the Israelis. I had this conversation before we got up on the air today, earlier today, in that if you take a look at it, every place where the Israelis have financed these operations, the first people that they kill are the Christians, or again the Christian population is targeted, the ISIS is directly supported, run and funded by the Israelis. And what are they doing in Iraq? Oh, they're killing other people, but they really, really focused on destroying Christian communities, completely destroying neutral Christian communities. Now, this is the same thing that BSBS would have done had we been with them in Syria first, which they have been doing in Syria where they've been able to get away with it. Mark, I heard a bunch of special forces refuse to train these people. Well, eventually somebody finally probably put the brakes on it, but you know what they found somebody who would be stupid enough to step into the job. I'm sure the people refused, but you got to remember there are some whores that will do it because again, they're occult worshippers, they're Jewish trash that are in our military, and they'll go in there and they'll go in there and they'll, oi, crack the lip! My boys will do it! Oi! And that's exactly what they do. So, again, let's not forget the guy who apparently is in charge, mom and dad are both Jewish. So the character that's in charge of BSBS slash ISIS is an absolute, you know, the thing that's being run by the Mossad. Well, some people laugh, and I said the commander of BSBS, he looks like an Israeli redheaded stepchild. He does. Actually, he looks more like he's from the Bronx in New York. He looks like he's from the northern Bronx. If you were to tell somebody, you know, take him crop the picture, hey, what do you think about this New Yorker? Oh, it looks like he's from the Bronx area, in the northern end. Seriously. So again, well, boy, depending on what part of New York it is, don't worry, the amical spins anyway. I'm telling you. But I just, you know, but the thing is, Mark, I'm, you know, with some of these Christians, with these Israel first, Israel can do no wrong. And you know, it's... This is why the Christian Church is no longer the salt of the earth in this country because we support Israel killing Christians. Right, well we know that they're up to there. Give me a second here, I'm trying to find something else to do. Before we go too far away from these SKS's, I'm making sure post in the social media, I just did it while we were talking. I just posted the SCASs at Royal Tiger Imports and I also posted the information for the receivers, barrel receivers at Now I'm going to remind everybody we're looking at supplemental weapons. One nice thing about the SKS, if you've already got AKs, all your ammunition pretty well, everything integrates, 7.62x39. But again, for 5.10 rifles or for cache weapons, the important thing is you need to go over each. Every one of these rifles, top to bottom, they are used weapons. You need to go over them, top to bottom, completely clean them up. Do maintenance on them put them back into service anyway. They might go ahead Yeah, speaking of used guns, I was looking at one at a pawn shop and it's a Remington 710 and 300 wind mag, like Moose Gun. But what do you know about the 710? I mean, I'm not really familiar with it. I'm familiar with the 700, but I mean, is there any drawbacks to the 710? I don't know that there was anything critical that would come to mind. The biggest thing with the 700 is in its early production, as we've talked about before, The stainless steel barrels they came up with, but that's long gone. Otherwise, it was a cool idea. They went with stainless, they went with a micro groove, but they had a problem with longevity. They didn't pick the proper stainless, and they hadn't worked in stainless before. But it was a premier barrel and a premier cartridge, a combination at the time. If it's 300, it's a 710. Other than the fact they've gone with other stamped parts, they've used more CNC machinery rather than direct the individual step-by-step tool and die, you know, standard machine and machine processes. So, other than that, I can't see anything exotic or unusual. The only thing is, again, with any of the commercial weapons, and I'm religious on this, firing pin extractor and ejector, wherever possible, ejector. Not always can you get an ejector because they're either machined into or they're sculpted separately and tack welded or riveted into the receiver, depending on the gun. But if you can get an extractor, ejector, and firing pin, I'd immediately buy them for the weapon. And in the buttstock, typically, you do have, if you take off the butt cap, if it hasn't been bored, you typically can have it, you know, a bore a small channel, and I would put the parts right in the buttstock. If it's the plastic polymer stock, and you take the butt cap off, you got all kinds of space on the inside. I would put the spare parts right on board. I wouldn't carry them somewhere else. I'd put them right inside the weapon. That way you know you got them when you need them. In fact, then I'd go every minor spring on the rifle. Most important is any bolt recovery, the extractor spring. The other thing would be any small screws and pins, only because The most likely thing in the field when you're out there is you lose something you're not planned, but you know I've had it happen I'm carrying a rifle for days on end and a screw backs out of it and It's like wow or a pin backs out of it and the pins are more likely because most of those are held in with some kind of adhesion Either they have a retainer like a key or like a small little dump old dimple key spring or they have just simply pressure applied and and you bump it, you tap it, you didn't see it, there's a million sticks in the woods, there's a million things you run into or you can accidentally tap and you didn't even notice and by the fickle finger of fate it just happens to be that stupid end of that pin. I've had that happen with components on the M60, I mean carrying the 60 and lugging that for days, oh man. And that's why a lot of guys wired parts on the new SAW guns because a combination of using them and loosening stuff up. On the 710, other than that, just the ammunition. If you're going to go 300 wind, buy more ammo. Because that disappeared quickly. Remember when we had this little bout this last year? 300 wind was one of those calibers that just plain vaporized. Everybody grabbed everything that was there. And whatever was left was 3, and 5, and $7 a cartridge because it was an exotic ammo. You know, it was something that was unique. It's a good cartridge. In fact, let's remind everybody that the 300-win is still in sniper circles with the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps. They make military, I mean, military 300-win right now. Well, Mark, here's another reason why we've got to go up to the, I've got to say, some of the shysters in New York. I just read that an NYPD officer shoots a three-month-old baby arguing with the mother about breastfeeding. Well, that baby won't breastfeed anymore. Oh, did he kill the child or just wounded a lot? Killed the child. Yeah, you see, when you hit somebody with a .40 caliber projectile and they only weigh so many pounds, that's like getting hit with a 105. So of course they are going to take him out and castrate lobotomize him and then hang him from like a seven-story building, like a seven-story window, right? No, he's going to probably get away with it. Maybe not. If I were the father, I'd know what I'd have to do. I wouldn't do it right away, but I know what I'd have to do. Well, just think like the Russians will get revenge by my enemy. Exactly, that's my point. That situation like that, there is no justification for what the fool did. None whatsoever. That's an idiot in motion and a creature that needs to be taken from this planet because he is a burden upon us all. Any fool, this is the problem with these anal retentive control freak incompetence that they have put into these uniforms. And here's the blue money so we gotta back him up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's nothing like that breastfeeding bust where you have to kill the baby to what? Protect society from the, at least she was, well, she might be a lesbian, I don't know. But at least she's a mother. And at least she's taking care of the child. I can think of a lot of others around Prozac who wouldn't. Think about it. You know the thing is here you've been talking about in the next legislative session in Texas is getting rid of the policeman's Bill of Rights. The policeman makes him get away with Well, that's some of the garbage that came out of the 70s from another strain where, on the one hand, the idea was to try and keep the police departments American and under American control and it was all permutated off into the twilight zone once the Communists took over the enforcement arm.
