A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children 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 bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is to still the land of the free and good evening ladies and gentlemen This is the evening intelligence report time our currently and butter knife One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west central east and Southeast ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on liberty tree radio dot for m g dot com indiana freedom talk radio dot com ronnie m and i can micro stations the bb base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska good evening to the ovations over still got a lot of light over there they're brighter than we are right now anyway the hallmark number from the top of maine do the bottom of florida from the bottom of florida karstik ark the gulf of mexico headed louisian of mississippi Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, big junk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, 5th, Pitt and the 13 sisters on the left side of the state. Waving to Colorado, we also say good evening slash well still afternoon out there to our friends in the great state of Jefferson and the rest of the Pacific coast. Turning back to the east, we sweep across the planes cold air coming down from the left of us or panetta and leaping over the Mississippi we land on the smokies where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, ok teams and mobville grandma consortium bring us the golden spike and our grandma's up there in Cleveland doing their part. BK it's dark here what's it like in your neck of the woods what's jumping off the wall there and what is the day today sir? It's dark here too. It is November 14, 2014. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. That makes this quartermaster's corner and it is nippy. It has been nippy all week and it will be nippy all next week, they say. It is in the high 20s as we speak here. outdoors, which informs another topic. The last I heard, which is probably about an hour ago, people were still sitting around wondering whether or not a grand jury indictment would come down in Ferguson, fingering the cop who shot our dear sweet little angel a few months ago. I rather doubt there will be an indictment. But even if there were, it wouldn't really matter very much. We tend not to convict cops of much of anything. I'm not particularly concerned about that particular shooting. My take on all of this is that we have fundamental problems. The thugs are not afraid of the cops. And as a result, the cops are afraid of the thugs. And then as a result of that we get incidents like this where it may in fact be legitimate to shoot one of the bad guys But the cops are not all icy and calm and knock out a peripheral limb and stop at that point. They flip out and go into panic shooting mode and just empty a magazine. A quarter of those shots actually hit an intended target and the rest kind of scatter all over the countryside. And as a result, too many rounds hit the target at center of mass and somebody dies when there's absolutely no reason that it needs to, even if the provocation were sufficient. So we get these ridiculous situations where there isn't anybody who's right and everybody's screaming at each other. But I will point out one thing. People whose ancestry is sub-Saharan Africa do not do well in temperatures below freezing. So, if you see any chaos and excitement in this area this week or next week, it will have motivation behind it other than spontaneous irritation because such folks may be angry, justly or unjustly. They certainly have legitimate gripes. This isn't one of them, but people always focus on the wrong thing. There will not be a lot of spontaneous activity at below freezing temperatures. Comments? They'll always be the ones way way way back going heading back towards Chi-town after they do create the problem That's what I see coming up on this if there's an issue None of the characters who will have created it will be there. You know when the time comes to take the hit. It's always the case Yeah, looks dangerous you go first. Yeah, let's you and him fight Let me walk all man. That's terrible. I'm leaving. Goodbye. We're out of here. But wait, you said you were with us. No, I just said I was around you Yeah, most likely gonna be the case kids. So don't be surprised just the way it works the other half of this again There's other rolling arena rolling activities around the country nothing to compare with what's happening there and it's the epicenter Being right there in the st. Greater st. Louis area the gateway to the west There isn't even, with the exception of some of the organized by the Soviets up in New York and maybe like across the water there in New Joy-Z, there hasn't been a whole lot of other screaming and ranting and raving about what happened there either. So the connective tissue are the communists out of Chicago talking to the communists out of New York and then acting accordingly based upon their coordinated efforts. There is very narrow communication with regard to the activity that leads up to whatever they are going to try to perpetrate here. So it is not hard to follow the dots back, kids. That is the one good thing. Go ahead and jump in there, please. There are other things that we can come in on. One of them that struck me before we get too far past that date, there was something I wanted to mention regarding the elections last time around. That is the dog that didn't bark. When I was watching coverage of it, it was kind of interesting. No surprise, of course, that only the Demikins and Republicans numbers were actually reported. But the interesting factor is that very rarely did those numbers add to 100% or anything near it. The graphics flashed past rather quickly. But from what I saw, I saw an awful lot of races all over the country in which the totals came anywhere from one to as much as 7% shy of 100. And, of course, they never report third-party results. Not voting is a vote of no confidence, but not voting can also be interpreted by the vampires as a bovine complacence as well. I would rather everybody did go and vote. I certainly did. I feel it's my duty to go there and vote against everybody. What I did was I didn't vote for any demikins or republicats. If there were a Libertarian or a Constitutional party on the ballot, I voted for them. If it was only a Democrat or a Republican, I didn't vote for that particular race. And, of course, I voted against every bond issue and proposal that I thought was an expansion of powers and so on. Not that it necessarily does a whole lot, but the powers behind the scenes do actually read the numbers. They will not honestly report the numbers. That would be silly to expect them to, but they do read them. Consider this, if 20 or 30 percent of the votes went to third parties, that would scare the pee out of those guys. They wouldn't report it that way. They'd still pronounce a dem or a rep to be the winner. That would make them nervous. Any sort of preliminary action like that It doesn't cost us very much in effort in gasoline and time and so on. I think it's probably worth the effort just as long as we maintain reasonable expectations. Comments, alternate opinions there? Well, the thing is if the option, any time I've ever voted, that's all I've ever done is vote for the independents. period. I will not pull a number down. It would have to be a local race and even there. This is for over the years. As long as I've been able to vote, I voted independent. It was a time plan. We have a Constitutional Party here and we also have a Tisch Amendment. which of course was a cap on spending in Michigan and the Tisch party was very successful. It was actually a free and independent mechanism and that's who got the Tisch amendment through which of course they pissed and moaned about especially the communists for years because they were restricted. Then eventually they overran it, they went around it, they had to do anything they could to stop it because the Tisch amendment kept them from going crazy with the spending and driving the state into bankruptcy. That was something that was part of the big plan. I think there are still some small remnants of the Tisch party left in the state. They were all grass roots individuals, regular people like you and me that had organized and put the mechanism together that got everything in play. They did make a difference. It was the right place, right time back in the 70s. and the rough-bought American war for independence anniversary guys everybody was thinking you know rebellion and you know we can do something and the bad guys hated it with a passion but of course they were trying to use you know give lip service to the 200th anniversary while they were trying to turn the government completely communist turn on his head. They failed left and right because people took it seriously locally, not nationally, locally. Well, I was a little more naïve than that. There was a time when I voted for the main parties. The last time I did that was Bush the Elder and I figured, well, this is the closest I can vote for a third term for Reagan. Was it 30 days into his presidency, Bush the Elder announced his five evil rifles. I realized that there was a betrayal underway. So that's what tore it for me initially. I realized that these guys were just backstabbers and their public stances had no correlation to their intentions. local front, we did have several very successful independents at the local level in different parts of the state of Michigan here, which we hadn't really talked about, I didn't have all the information on even, because like you said, Control Media offered no data on the situation whatsoever. No direct data. By accident they showed indirect data by failing to add to 100%. They didn't show percentages. Next time around they'll probably say X% for for this and why percent for that and try to make the percent add to totals. There would be fine print that's about three pixels tall on your television saying, of the major parties or something like that. Well, there were only one or two, but there were one or two of the Republicans dumping a demicon. There were one or two of the acknowledged that 23% went to an independent vote, but they wouldn't acknowledge who it was. They said the Demikin was trounced. The Republirat took like 50 or 40, like 51%, 49% right around there. But 23% went to the Independent separate from the Republirat and separate from the Demikin. The Republirat still won, but the Demikin and the Independent, the Independent of course took a big chunk, like 23%. That was what jumped out. And there were one or two races like that where they roundabout acknowledged that they didn't want to give any in depth. By the way, there's another group there and a whole bunch of people were organized because 23% that they acknowledged and the dive bowl machines didn't misdirect went to this guy, whoever he was, but they never told you. Like you said, it was like, well, yeah, by the way, there was that other guy. Well, he looks like somebody was backing him. Yeah, there was somebody else, or there were some erroneous votes that went to some third party, but we're not going to say who it is. Yeah, but don't look at them. Don't look and think about them. Even though somebody obviously did when they got the polling booth and said, oh, there is somebody else, and went quick. And said, oh, I'll go that way. I also voted in the primary because there was one candidate in the entire primary process that got my attention. I knew he had no chance because he was running against an entrenched Republican incumbent. for county supervisor. This was one guy who wasn't actually an attorney. He was a surgical assistant or something along those lines. One of his campaign planks was, America should go on a copper standard. I thought that was a kind of interesting idea. You could make a good case for that. You could say, Silver is being consumed in massive quantities industrially and is kind of thin on the ground. Gold has largely been locked up. It's sitting in other people's hands. But copper is very widely distributed. It's got immense intrinsic value. It's an industrial metal. When the economy is burning hot, the price of copper goes up because of the demand, which It automatically makes the currency based on it more valuable when the economy is hot, which is a bit of a stabilizing factor. That wouldn't be a bad approach, actually. So, of course, your smallest coin would have to be a nickel or a dime made out of copper because pennies can't even be copper anymore. But there's a certain amount of adjustment that would be required regardless. But that struck me as a kind of a neat notion. So I participated in the primary only to vote for that one guy. And he actually got a third of the votes with the incumbent getting the other two thirds. So that is a heck of a accomplishment for somebody bucking the system locally? Well again what we've discussed here, the whole idea is that copper, silver, gold, the copper standard would still be part of our standard currency construction. That's why the three currencies dissimilar so that they were easily identified. each having a comparable jump in terms of value so that you have so many increments of one balancing to the other, an unequal number of the next balancing to the highest standard. Well, there's always terrible difficulties in having more than one metal, and we actually had something like four because we had nickel as part of the nickels. The Canadians had pure nickels, we had adulterated nickels, but there was nickel in there too. But the relative ratios of them all do tend to change on an ongoing basis. It makes it very difficult to have a monetary system based on multiple metals. But the whole notion of a single metal copper standard kind of appealed to me. I think that has some interesting merit and should be considered. So I voted for that guy. And of course you've heard my button proposal, right? Do you remember that one? Oh, repeat that again? What was it? Yeah, this is butternight's button proposal. The way we... Oh, okay, yep, no, I'm sorry. Yeah, all we have to do is make the pennies out of plastic and put four holes in them so that they can be used for buttons. If you've looked at the price of buttons, it's a lot more than a penny. They have a greater, a more intrinsic value, even if you crank out your own buttons based upon using a wooden dowel and a drill. Right, so if you make pennies suitable for use as buttons, then you have supported the currency because there is true intrinsic value at the base of the pyramid. Well, the interesting thing about that gets back to the whole argument. Remember Hitchhiker's Guide talking about currency and the three intergalactic currencies? There's a whole subsection on that and explaining that explain the world that you know, they forgive me the global economy slip Oh, I'm sorry the intergalactic economy. He was but it's like we really don't understand how these things came about but everybody seemed to accept them And that's really where we are with currency, you know, apparently if you crank out pieces of paper and everybody feels well enough a good enough about them Well, gee, you'll accept slivers of paper. So what's wrong with buttons? I don't see any complications there Well, I think that's a good question. It used to be you could have postage stamps. The guy's postage stamps are money, real money. Back in the Bonnie and Clyde days, guys would rob post offices. Not just because they had the paper FRNs or United States Notes or Silver. They would also take the stamps. Most people don't realize that because stamps are money. If they have a face value, as long as they're not debauched, in other words, they haven't been canceled, they're worth $1.05, $5.00, $20.00, depending on what the coin was, that was traded for the piece of paper. Behind the wire, needless to say, for the gamblers, the guys who were doing numbers, games of whatever kind, you actually could trade in. You could be putting five nickels on the table, you could be putting 25 cents on the table, you could be putting dollars on the table. If those guys were really enterprising, they would have just counterfeited stamps because they're always easier than currency and just as good. Well, they don't counterfeit, but consider this. Here's the most common thing. Everybody had to become connoisseurs of material because while they couldn't counterfeit them as easily, they could wash off the old ones coming in on envelopes. So you had to pay attention and look and you got to remember too that stamps remember the big switch out was when they went to the sticky back stamps that creates a lot of problems for you know try to counterfeit something because The licky back stamps were a little easier for you to you know fudge them in a number of different ways Which they still had some of in circulation, but they get away with stamps completely So this is an example of currency guys Oh yeah, but that's contemporaneous. When these guys were using coat revolvers to rob trains and so on, they could just as easily have been doing the stamps and that would have been on. Well, they did that. No, they did. They just don't show it. That's the whole point. They were taking the stamps. There's nothing new there. My point is that behind the wire stamps are money. Well, then they told them they couldn't have stamps. So, they made a new currency. In fact, a whole new currency was established. So, the old standard was dial soap. The mid-silver standard was tone soap. And the copper standard was ivory or other no-name brand soaps that were offered. And there was, of course, an odd man out because there were the cocoa butter soaps that were offered randomly depending on how the store was changed. and guys had 70, 80, 100 bars of soap and soap was traded and exchanged and gambled no different from gold or silver and was as common. Now you can still do tobacco items. You've always seen how like, well, they're trading in cigarettes. Well, they don't trade in cigarettes because nobody buys, nobody buys tailor-made cigarettes behind the wire. because it's cheaper to buy a pillow bag of tobacco and a lot of rolling papers and make your own. But there's probably a part of the reason that they've banned smoking in so many jails now is because of the currency effect. But here's the thing, initially the thing is that there are guys that roll their own that made a whole industry. I used to employ people. You know, you buy a bag of tobacco for $6. You buy so many rolling papers, you box a match, a book of book matches. and a box of book matches and then you market them out. So you got somebody who knows how to roll well, you give him so much tobacco for rolling and then he slings them out on the street and then you make a profit off what it is that he gets in the way of bags of potato chips, goodies, lunch meat, could be bottled cheese, whatever. So there's a whole sub-economy based upon traditional real barter in whatever it is that's available. But the tobacco, of course, was also a thing that could be brought into the gambling game because tobacco, but it was roll your own. So you've got to remember there's variances in weights and measures there. Because how you roll a cigarette, and how somebody else rolls a cigarette who knows what they're doing, can make it look like it's the same size, but not quite the same volume inside that piece of paper, you see. And then there's the scary ones that would create what we call re-roll. and then they try to market it or they even try to gamble it. Now reroll is where everybody drops those little cigarette butts out on the street. Yeah, otherwise known as roaches. Yeah, and then somebody goes out and takes and collects them all and then kind of empties all that out into another container and then gets some other reroll paper, you know, rolling paper and rerolls the other stuff. If they get caught at it, that doesn't make for a very happy camper on the other end and usually there are a lot of emotional confrontations that take place. So, counterfeiting doesn't go over very well. There's a system of justice that's a little bit more immediate than the official one. Right, exactly. But counterfeiting still takes place. So there are ways. Again, you have a criminal element and then you have a certain amount of honor that is expected. So, contrary to everybody thinks there is honor amongst thieves and murderers and rapists and all kinds of people. There is at least caution. If not honor, at least caution. Exactly. Well, the idea is that everybody just wants to get along. They really do. After all, the gambling casino wants to stay open, the guy rolling cigarettes wants to stay open, and the people who are having fun in the process of using them both want to stay in business. So everybody does their part to keep everything police too, which is kind of interesting. An economy will develop and will find its own level within a period of time if everybody starts thinking on their own. And when the machine becomes so oppressive, But you know, it's like black markets. Why do black markets come about? The machine becomes so hyper-oppressive. There are products that people want. There is typically a shortage with a police state or with a, you know, again, oppression. And that creates the demand and the entire sub-economy or infrastructure. And if they can't spend it with currency or rubles or FRN fakes or whatever, they'll find something else to barter and trade in because there's always something that somebody else has. Yeah, the short form is that the market has been severely distorted in some fashion. That's what a black market is all about, is the distorted market is bringing a leak. Yeah, it's not an if though, it's only a when. Now, whether or not the government controls the black market, as often as not, at least it controls a percentage because the characters that are in the regime are always corrupt, as we know. How did they get into the regime in the first place? So they create the other problems anyway go ahead jump in there. We got more please Right, you have been speaking of CDN and so we won't spend a lot of time on that. You have mentioned the ProMag magazines, the 20 rounders at $4 and the 30 rounders at $5. Those aren't too bad. Those are reasonable, usable magazines. They're not the greatest in the planet. The magpoles are a lot better. too awful, but there are a few other things that they've got listed this time that are worth people's attention. They are offering a .22LR upper for $200. Now you can buy an entire .22LR rifle for less than $200. Glenfield .60 is a good example and it's a very practical item. But for a training item or a utility item that the 22LR upper is not a bad option. It's not that much more expensive than some of these other purpose-built 22LRs. If you have an AR lower to begin with, you can slap that on. It has rails. If you have night vision, that will go straight on there without any more accessories or a clap trap or whatnot. That would be useful not just for training purposes, but also for things like pest control around the chicken coop at night and so on. So if you have any night vision in inventory, that would be something worth considering. I certainly don't want to use center fire for pest control and other such utility purposes. So, even with the ridiculous price that 22LR is going for right now, it is still cost effective if you're defending the chicken coop and that sort of thing, defending the ducks and geese from foxes or whatever the case may be, especially if you're doing it in the dark. They're also offering a special if you buy a half dozen of some of their other calibers, 45, 40, 380 and so on, mostly pistol, but I think they've got... Something else in there, I forget what. If you buy a half dozen boxes of some of their other calibers, they will sell you a brick of Thunderbolt for $30, limit two of that option. I am sad to come to the conclusion that $30 for a brick of .22LR is in some fashion a reasonable offer, but based on recent history, that actually is, that's probably what they're paying for it. So they're using it as a sales tool for some of their other more conventional calibers. Let's see. Yeah, those are the two things that jumped out. And there's one other thing. They are offering an entire AR bolt carrier group complete with a bolt and everything for $80. That's not bad. One of the things that we should remind people of is that the AR has a tendency to be a 300 shot rifle. If you dump 10 magazines through it, very frequently the thing is going to start malfunctioning because it wants to be cleaned. Most of the gunk and crud is in that area of the bolt carrier. One of the things you can do in the field if you've got the spares is you can just carry an entire lubed up, ready to go bolt carrier group in a zip lock or baggy or some such. And if you've got a couple of minutes, you drop the old nasty, gunky one out, drop the clean one in. That's not going to completely clean your rifle. It's not going to clean out the gas tube or what not, but there's a very good chance that that will get you up and running again quickly so that that postpones the necessity to sit down and do a thorough cleaning at $80. It's not a bad offer. Just for consistency sake, I took a look over at Sarcos page and I did not find a listing online of full carrier groups. I'm sure that they can put one together for you. They are posting on their site that they've got rather extended order of fulfillment time, something on the order of one to two weeks because everybody's buying AR stuff like it's going out of style. But I did compare a couple of other items and one of the things I noticed is that CDNN's regular price on gas tubes is I think $8 or $9 and Sarcos is $13. So the lesson there is shop carefully and don't just assume that the vendor were accustomed to thinking of as a parts outfit is necessarily the best price or quickest availability for some of those parts. Look around and check the alternatives because in that case, for instance, CDNN is several dollars per tube cheaper than Sarco, believe it or not. Now, the CDNNs are probably commercial tubes and the Sarcos are definitely Milserp, but for a part like that, I don't see much difference. It's a tube. You can even make your own if you have the tube stock. It's not complicated. So just be advised and make sure you shop because there are surprises out there. Hey guys. Shoot. Yeah. Great. I'll get you. Yeah. As a surprise, I noticed yesterday That's quite cheap. That's surprising. That's one of the things back in the day one might have been tempted to say, oh, okay, they're probably going to ban ARs, but maybe the grandfather of them will buy some lowers as a speculation or a savings account thing or whatnot. Surprisingly enough, that did not pan out. The cost of lowers has not skyrocketed the way you would expect. They're probably a little bit pricier during the ban. But even so, it's a little surprising that they have stayed as low as they have. Because a price like that, if they got a lump of them, everybody looking for stuff like that will zero on those quickly. I'm surprised if they last the weekend, let's put it that way. At this time of day, if they are sold out, the website will probably not have been updated. than that. on It's not on the website. You have to call them and talk to the salesmen and so on, but they will sell you the mags for $10 a piece if you're buying an upper at the same time. It's definitely worthwhile. Again, it's still worthwhile. The 22 options, especially with the ARs, we had a discussion. That was the other element that I didn't mention the other day, looking at if you have an AR-15, what can you do? to dress up your weapon platform the rest away. Right now, as we were just pointing out, there are some nice little buys. It's certain items. It's not everything. But it's worth picking up a number in every one of the different calibers. And 22 is the one that I actually bypassed there the other day and should have mentioned because that is that other caliber. It's certainly not a big deal for ammunition as far as availability goes. Everybody understands how that works. as far as cost now but you can search around or you may have already bought 20 pallets of 22 a lot of guys have they bought a lot of ammunition so it's not you don't have the ammo it's just picking weapons platform that will fit your niche and float your boat on that project. The other thing to bear in mind is if we get into a situation where there are battlefield drops we're going to get an awful lot of those battlefield drops are going to be the stupid little M4s. Well, the part that's defective there is the upper. So if you have uppers that you like better and that have proper full length barrels and all that kind of good stuff, you can rehabilitate some of those battlefield drops by taking the lower and all that hardware and the carrier group and basically setting aside the stubby little M4 upper and swapping in something that's a little bit more effective, even if it's one of your secondary calibers. I'm looking to see if I can find... You know what, it looks like there were some 545 uppers I was looking at the other day and I think they're already sold out again. We'll find out more about that over the weekend, it's the only thing I can do for Monday. But as I pointed out, one of the things that's really neat is there are a number of different chambering options for the ARs. If you've got an AR, there's no reason not to be committing to that right now. The biggest thing is, as we pointed out, the CDNN Magazine Special. The 20-round mag is the most universal for pretty much any caliber that you're going to be adding on. The 20s will either hold 20 rounds or 11 rounds of this or 13 rounds of that, depending on what it is. but they will work and because they're not a pivoting mag they're not as large a magazine capacity but you're continuing to be able to operate the weapon. That's a big plus. Harsh language in throwing sticks or rocks is not your first best choice of things to do tomorrow. Besides, the stock magazines will support a few of the alternate calibers. The 20 grand will support all of them. That's the whole point. It's not going to hurt the stock. They carry as many, but it will carry all of them. It will work. If it's 30 blackouts, 6.5 grand old, .223-545-762x39. It will handle all of them. The 30 rounders, because of that pitch, that bevel, just that slight angle, it needs to be more radical with most of the Russian calibers and it's not. Well, to regulate you being tempted, the 20 rounders are the best way to go. That way there's no confusion and less likely to have a problem when it comes to feeding. to get you by. Otherwise, you buy specific mags. Eventually, that's the next purchasing way to buy specific mags that match up to the lowers so that you can accommodate a larger capacity mag because they are out there. If you look around, you'll find little sales here and there. I guess you could make an argument for the 30 rounds, even if you can load only 12 or 15 rounds of an alternate caliber, because you're matching those to your mag pouches. and dropping the 20s into a 30 round mag pouch means you're going to be doing a certain amount of groping or you'll have to spare socks into the bottom of the magazine pouch or something like that. I'm trying to find, it looks like even as I was talking about this, a bunch of these are gone again already guys, this is terrible. No surprise there. It's like, well, you know, now again on the mags they're still showing CD&M, still shows those in the inventory. So take advantage of those while you can. At the very least look at them as drop mags when the time comes. But you know if you don't have a whole lot of mags and you're also arguing you don't have a whole lot of money, it's still the best solution to pick up a bunch of these $4, $6, or $8 mags and put them on the shelf. I wouldn't grab too many of the 42 rounders, but if you want one to experiment with, There you go. For $8 you're not out anything. And again, buy the tan one because the tan one is $2 less than the black one and the only difference is the color. They're made in the same mold, it's the same plastic, it's the same magazine manufacturer, it's just another color. So get the other color to save a couple dollars. Then you get more ammo to put in the magazine. $2 worth anyway, whatever that comes to nowadays, but 2.5 cartridges. Or maybe three or four. Yeah, 40 and up stick mags in the AR market do not have a good reputation for reliability. Which is a little bit silly, I think, because the 40 round magazines, or 42 round, I forget what they are, in the AUG are as reliable as the day is long. So it proves you can do it. It's just that they haven't for whatever reason. I don't know why. but they just haven't. But that's the empirical results that people have gotten. So they are kind of long and clunky sticking out of the bottom of an AR. But that's the beast that we have, so we live with it. There are some other items. Goldmine electronics, we have mentioned them before. We have mentioned them many times in various contexts. One of the things to warn you about is always check the shipping price. on your order with Goldmine and decide whether you really want to push the button. Also watch the shipping mode that they select. They not only gouge for shipping but they also choose one of the shipping modes that's not the cheapest. So if you just click through and you accept the default, I forget whether they go UPS instead of postal or postal instead of UPS. But they have a half dozen different shipping options, and they don't choose the cheapest one by default. So, not only should you look at the shipping charge and decide whether you want to complete an order with them, but check the alternate options because they are by default going to choose a more than minimal cost option. Other vendors are much better about shipping than these guys are. That seems to be one of their profit centers. However, they do have some interesting items this time around. They have an item that they have listed previously, but it's on sale this week. They are offering a 3.3 volt 9 amp, which means it's a fairly heavy power supply, at $2.49. That's intended for conventional digital electronics because an awful lot of the stuff in your computers or microprocessors and so on is running at 3.3 volts now. But that is a voltage that is suitable for driving an awful lot of LEDs. So, if you're thinking about alternate illumination, this is not flashlight stuff, this would be for fixed locations doing either illuminating your household or illuminating a workbench or something along those lines. That power supply at $2.49 is a pretty good buy. You should have a few of those. If you're going to go that option, buy several and get spares. but 9 amps will supply an awful lot of LEDs and 3.3 volts is very nearly the voltage you want. for most LEDs you might end up putting a little bit of resistive wire or a resistor in series to mitigate the voltage a little bit. But 3 volts is about what most bright illumination oriented LEDs require if they aren't assembled into a block to bring the voltage up to 12 volts or something along those lines. The other thing that they're offering are some small solar panels. Now, normally when you look at the regular electronics vendors and surplus vendors and so on, the prices for solar panels are ridiculous. Compare that to somebody like Sun Elect that sells to people that are going off grid and the prices are ridiculous. An awful lot of these Harbor Freight kits and the regular electronics surplus vendors and so on are still stuck at the $10 a watt price threshold which was our goal a decade ago. But with amorphous driving down the cost and all of that production being shifted off to Asia, the cost has dropped considerably. Now if you look at Sennelek, you will see lots and lots of panels that are a little bit above or a little bit below the dollar a watt points. Sometimes they'll be remarkably below the dollar a watt, but usually The fine print on those is export only. They're not allowed for the US market. But you can typically do 80, 90 cents a watt, dollar a watt, dollar 10 a watt, something along those lines. Goldmine, as a sale item, their regular price is ridiculous and you should disregard it, is offering a five pack of 3.5 watt solar panels for $25. So, basically they are offering you about 17.5 watts for $25.00 comes out to $1.42 a watt. That of course is more expensive than you can get in the great big 200 to 400 watt panels. But for a smaller portable application, these are about 7 inches square. So, these are suitable for little dashboard installations where you're just trying to keep the car battery trickle charged for long storage or portable applications to generate a little bit of power to charge up a radio or a cell for some sort of portable device, that sort of thing. So, at $25 they are offering a 5 pack of these little 3.5 watt panels. They are 7 inches square, they are all sealed up and ready to go and they have screw terminals on the back which makes things easier. You don't have to do any soldering. So that one is also worth checking. So that is goldmine electronics. 2 items, the 3.3 volt power supply at $2.50 and these 3.5 watt photovoltaic panels at $5.25 are both decent prices. Comments? No, go ahead. Anything else because we're getting close to the top. Anything else to cover? I do have some things to cover but they are a little bit different. Okay, let's touch one of the regular things. Last week we reported a plethora of options in the powder range. This week we have pretty much the same choices however I will report that we talked about the XMR-2495. That's a .308 powder. Last week it was available at both graphs and at Powder Valley. Powder Valley is sold out. So if you want some of that stuff, it's $1.84 a jug at Graf's. Likewise, the IMR 4166. Now that's one of those newer powders, and this one is billed as being temperature compensated. I haven't seen a lot of discussion of this. It's new. It'll take a little while before people work up a lot of data and have scuttle butt saying, I liked it, I didn't like it. Whatever the case is, the stuff is going at a premium. Partly because it's new I think and partly because it's got an interesting characteristic in being temperature compensated. Both Graf's and Powder Valley had that last week. Powder Valley is sold out. So if somebody's buying this stuff Graf's is your option at this point. $204 for a jug of that stuff. So that is pricey. Both vendors continue however to have the super performance which is a fast shot shell powder. at 162 and 144 respectively. The price gap between these two vendors on that particular powder is narrower than is normally the case. Normally there are about $20 difference at $18. So, they're probably pushing fairly close to the distributor cost on that one. Why do I call out Super Performance? Well, it is an available shot shell powder and in general shot shell powders tend to be the same speed as pistol powders. So, if you are hard up for powder for pistol reloading, this stuff would probably do the job. Any time you're working experimentally, you're going to have to hunt for data or be very, very careful about working it up yourself. But it is available out there. 223 range. 2015 remains available at both vendors, 184 and 164 respectively. 4320 is available at both vendors 173 and 154. That's $19 different. So that's the standard sort of price gap between the two. So 223 powders are fine. The 308 powder got vacuumed from Powder Valley. So you can figure, well, that's selling, but at the same time people are price sensitive. They are going for that $20 difference. I can't blame them. Nothing wrong with Powder Valley and 20 bucks is 20 bucks. If you are looking for something that is reasonably wide range and versatile, the LT32 remains the choice in that and that stuff is pricey pricey at 214 and 190. Notice that the price differential there has crept up to $24. I'm not sure exactly what's going on with that price differential, but I predict that Potter Valley will sell out of that LT32 before graphs does. That's our quick survey on the Potter Market this week. Any comments? Well, the big thing is I looked at two or three of the other older providers we've mentioned over the last four years or so. Pretty much everybody is down to zero. Several bullet companies, while they do seem to be able to acquire or have a good contact for some of the military ball projectiles, and powders pretty much. They had a little peak of Winchester Repeating Arms, WRA rifle powders, that lasted about a week. In fact, almost as quickly as people found out they were there, they just vacuumed everything up. There are little pods and pools of the stuff out there, guys, but as it's appearing, people are going out and deciding, yep, I'm going to have to make that work, which is what reloaders do. Anyway, we've got to remember that we're very adaptive to begin with. Experimentation is really a centerpiece for people who do reload. It's why certain powders become so incredibly popular because It's not the industry that determines the use, it's the end market buyers who figure, wow, I can afford this, and I only need to use this much of it. What if I tweak the trickler in this direction and tweak the bullet in that direction? The research, the R&D is all done with us, out in the field with the shooters. And people who are trying to get more bullets for the pound of powder they buy, more loaded cases, which is always the case. It's a catch-as-catch can. Don't be frustrated. But share. If you get what you want, let us know on the air. It doesn't mean there's which day it is. This is a good day to do it though, to call in. Give us an update. If you run into something where somebody's got a pile of powder, let us know. The people that are listening, they're your friends. We're going to try and do what we can to acquire the components as needed. Projectiles. Seem to be at a flat level. Nothing special coming out. But at least there's a regular, you know, like progressive, you know, so many tons obviously are being cranked out per day. They're getting out to the market. When they do show up, if it's something that's the flavor of the day preferred, it's not lasting very long, but at least they're continuing to replace the five gallon buckets full of bullets. Okay. So bulk bullet is not as hard as it was say even a year ago, but still it's right on the edge. As quick as it shows up, it goes especially 30 caliber. to the next question. Then there's the stuff that well I would never load that anyway because I never did want to buy you know 150 round or 100 round pre-oval box of projectiles for 48 or 58 dollars You know because it'll have like a you know bronze penetrator with a you know a hollow point you know cavity you know behind that and it's specially engineered and they are beautiful bullets and there's some phenomenal projectiles out there But the average shooter is not going to use them. Besides, if you're going to do that properly, you have to go ahead and work up a new load for them, which means it's going to cost you 20 or 30 or 50 rounds just to figure out exactly what you're doing. So there is an expense to switching over to an unfamiliar product. I will remind people in our last minute or so, there is a PDF file on Spike's site, www.indianafreedomtalkradio.com, our archive site as well, kindly maintained by Spike. One of our programs we had an interview with Veral Smith of LBT Molds and the interview discussed paper patched cast bullets. These things perform a whole lot better than you would think. One of our friends transcribed the entire interview, removing all of butternives, ums and uhs and other such interjections, and made it into a PDF. You can download that interview in PDF format and read the whole thing. That is very interesting reading if I must say so myself. This makes an extremely strong case for considering the paper patched bullet technology even for modern arms. So there's an option to get around the cost of the jacketed bullets because contrary to what you've been told, if you go with paper patched you can get the same sort of muzzle velocities and so on with cast bullets as you're accustomed to with the jacketed stuff that comes out of a factory. Absolutely, and one of the things there is again, the paper technology goes back to the even to muzzle loading cartridges especially for the riflemen back in the day. One of the ways to tighten up that landing groove bite was to use either copper sheeting or they would use paper wrap and then of course going into projectile cases. The Creedmoor and many of the other weapons were special custom paper wraps, so many layers of They are different papers that were used just like anything else when there is a technology embraced. There are different ideas that come about that are experimented with even using silk. It's something in ordinance that has been around for quite some time. It's specialized, outrageously priced, back in the day, exotic to say the least. Nowadays, of course, we have access to extremely cheap, extremely stable paper. A single pack of printer paper from the office store for $4. It's going to be a lifetime supply of paper if you're slicing it up and using it for paper patching. So there's no reason to worry about what supply you're getting. But read that interview. It's on IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com and you will be surprised at what that can do for you. The mold has to be cut for the purpose. So, you would order a mold from Verell Smith and I recommend that as a vendor anyway. You want to tell him, I want a particular weight, I want a particular nose style, he'll cut it for you. There's no additional charge for doing that. So, read that interview, grab it off of indianafreedomtalkradio.com and consider it because that is an option and it will get you around the cost and availability issues. with the factory bullets and let you free up some FRNs for the powder. Very good. We are at the top. I think we'll be hearing the music here in a moment. For everybody out there listening, it is going to be a long weekend, guys. There's gun shows, ham fest, all kinds of other activities taking place. This morning we had a breakdown. One of our deuces on the way in to Camp Fox. broke down in Imlay, not in Imlay City but near Imlay City on the outbound actually. Everybody heard what we said on the air and got in motion. The wrecker went out. We have a military combat wrecker at both of the sites. There's three of them total up there. And they recovered the truck, did the tire actually in the field, but they escorted them back out to the base, to the camp. And the guys are right now listening to our program so you guys have a good weekend freezing your hung den off up there in the great white north. Meanwhile, God bless the republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are in a march, both day and night. For everybody out there, Quartermaster Friday is over for us, but not over for everybody. All you're gonna out there collect what you can, do what you can. Deep logistics means victory, people.
