Mark Koernke discussed firearms, ammunition, and tactical equipment pricing and availability, including recommendations for the Star Model B 9mm pistol ($219.95), Catamount Fury II semi-auto shotguns with magazines at $7 each, and PTR91 HK clones with complete kits at $900. He covered night vision equipment transitions as first-generation green screen units sold out, leaving second-generation viewers and white-light options as entry-level alternatives. The show included extensive discussion of AK platform weapons, barrel specifications, and lessons from Ukraine conflict footage regarding tactical weapon employment and the strategic futility of fighting over Donetsk Airport. Koernke also announced upcoming prize drawings and solicited donations to support the show.
Live 365. We 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's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame You've taken Satan's number you've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep and dead. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled 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'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free? First hour of the afternoon, Intelligence Report, I'm Mark Hornky. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, central, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... liberty tree radio dot for m g dot com indiana freedom talk radio dot com running with a micro station cb base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska hallmark network from the top of maine to the bottom of florida from about a four-course article of mexico Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, 5th, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast, we have the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the East Week cross plains over the Mississippi line in Smokies. We're the restaurant crew's grandma teams. Okay, teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium, bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million petticoat junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Don, it's cold. It's piddly snowing like it was piddly raining here. We've got the little high elevation beady snow. It's like every once in a while, like a few here, a dot there, a few here, a dot there. Then it's not quite frozen yet, so nothing really is sitting around to look at you. What's the date today and what's jumping off the wall there, sir, please? Well, it is the 17th day of December. You're of our Lord 2014. That's the strike down the middle of the calendar, you know, the kind of middle of the weekday. If you were a camel, there's a particular day for it. Around here we call it Weapons Wednesday and the beginning of the hour goes like this. Magazine in a magazine well, Lee said, no, there's one in the chamber now and we can tell everybody that's a hot gun, that's a condition one gun. It is not stolen, but it is a hot gun. In other words, don't pointy thingy towards anybody you don't likey. No, ticky, very much washy, your pain did. Finish it, finish it, big time, Joe, always. Hot, hot, boom, boom. Anyway, It is. Weapons Wednesday. The perimeter is secure and there's plenty more where that came from. Now the right now the JG sales has got their Christmas specials up I don't think they're adding to I think it's just whatever they've got they've got On the list until Christmas. I highly recommend you take a look at it guys There's a couple of weapons here. I've mentioned before the one it's about the basic price. It's been Still it's a good little pistol. Actually. It's not a little pistol at all It's just like the weapon that Don just operated except it's in 9 millimeter Now what is that? Well, that's a star, super, you know, Model B. And the Model B is a 1911 clone. It is, everybody, if you're not operating a 1911, you could close your eyes, operate the star, you wouldn't know the difference. For the most part, Pretty much the same gun across the board. As far as the frame size comparable, actually the same. It's a 9mm, it has a straight 8 mag. I don't know if they got 8 or 7s in this one, we're going to find out real quick. But these aren't military slash factory mags. Comes with two mags and they're in good condition for $219.95. Making that the most affordable 9mm out there right now for a military type weapon. Now it is a star. and I have owned many many many many stars I'm very happy with them. In fact I carried a lot of times when you guys are meeting me around the country one of the things I was carrying was a star model 9mm as a guest gun and in this case this has the full size plane this is frame and slide this is not a BD, DB or a B or whatever as far as the compact guns. This is a full-size slide, full-size frame, and it's a very nice pistol. They've been around a long time, basically parallel with Star, in this case the development of the 1927 Colt, which was an export Colt also built overseas. You see him showing up in surplus on the shotgun news back in the late 80s, and then again there was a wave in the middle 90s. Then they kind of faded out through the end of the 90s because that was pretty well all the surplus there was in that category for a bit that anybody wanted to get rid of. Still a lot of them down in South America, still a lot of them went to the east Africa and they're over there. Plus, Star sold a lot to Africa. Nothing ever gets thrown away. It just rusts into the ground. It may not be any finish. The grips may be replaced a dozen times with wood, bone, human leg, human thigh bone, I don't know. They just keep on ticking. For $219.95, so let's say $220, that's pretty reasonable. There are several different places that have mags. I don't believe that JG Sales has spare mags, but don't count me on that one. Aftermarket mags for all of the stars have been available for 30 years. I'd say half of what I was using and have used have been the after markets. I used to get them for like, realistically, $3 apiece. I never had one malfunction. They ran perfectly. It's a straight in line mag. There's nothing really going wrong with it. and simple to build so they crank them on in force and I bought them in force so you had twenty thirty mags per gun every time I've had one of these and as I put them away or cache them into the quiet darkness for a while then when we open up the cache there will be twenty magazines for each of those weapons how do I know? I put them there Okay, now that's one. There's your handgun solution, but here's something else Don, you know now, you know just as well as everybody else listening I've mentioned, you know, I'm not excited about these Chinese copies of the Sega. Right. And I'm not, except when this happens and like the Sega, see when the Sega was, you know, when they first brought the Sega in they wanted about $500 for it. Years ago guys, and some people bought them, they liked them, but there weren't enough around for him and he'd go, whoa! However, the people that did have them say, hey, these are good guns. They don't jam. They function. OK. And so the Sega started dropping in price and went as low as about 2, forgive me, 165, 1, and a 185 right around there. That was the bargain basement end for those. A lot of you guys bought them at that window. And then once everybody started seeing more of them and finding out about them and what you could do with them, Then they just took off and you can't buy a Sega for under $200 anymore. Okay? Now these catamount shotguns are a Sega pattern gun. In fact the Chinese as is typically the case decided they liked whatever Sega the slash the Russians did they just copied it. I do not know of anyone who has done a comparative study on parts. Everybody always does the, let's try this and see if we like it going boom. But I have not seen anyone sitting down with a Sega and a Catamount and going, how many parts are close enough that maybe they fit? Do they interchange? Yeah. Now that is something we need to see happen. However, they've dropped the price on the catamount, and this is the lowest model, the standard model, which personally that's all I buy. I'm not interested in spending $1000 on a gun like this. I love those weapons. I love the Sega's, I really do. But when they start going towards the 8-900 mark for a gun that we already saw sold for $200, it's kind of hard to tell me that it shouldn't be still about $250 to $300. You know what I mean? It's kind of like Glock. If Glock had come in like that, do you think they'd be able to argue you should spend $500 when in reality it should be about a $125 gun? Yeah. It's like, you sold them for $125. Yeah, it was an introductory thing. And you know, we took a loss on it. Yeah, right. Yeah, we had to build another one. It's so tough pushing those plastic frames, don't you know. Now, hey, there's billions of Glocks out there. In fact, there's even a pile of used Gen 4s out there right now. So, I don't know who could shoot them that fast or out that fast or if they just decided that somebody got their panties in a bunch for another gun in some cop shop. Because they are a cop, trade in guns. But there are some Gen Force. Now I'm not going to talk about those because if you're a Glock person, you'll love Glock, you'll like to look around for good stuff like that and you'll find the goodies you want. But the Star, personally out of the whole inventory, that's the gun I'd buy right now from this place and probably from most because Otherwise you have to get up towards the $300 mark, which is another $100 in expense, to pick up a 9 that's a stack 9. And I do like the canics. And you still have a 9mm category. Yeah, still a 9mm though. And again, in this case $219 by spare mags, at least get four more mags right away so you have at least six. Now you remember I've always talked about that. Here's why that cat amount is so exciting right now. It ain't the razor, it's the blades. Right now they've dropped the rifle, the gun price, the shotgun price for the Catamount Fury 2 Sega pattern semi-auto shotgun 12 gauge AK thumb hole style new with two mags. So you get two mags right off the bat, two five rounders for $400. Right? Guys, then once you see that Catamount there for $400, here's where it really makes this worthwhile. Go over to their ammunition, let's see, sales on, Christmas sales on ammo and gear. And we scroll down and there's magazines, Don. How much? Well, they've got these Catamount Fury II mags and by the way, let me double check the base price on these, what they were. Because remember all these shotgun mags have been up around the $25 to $34 range, right? And that's been pretty consistent. uh... nineteen nineteen mags are about uh... the you know for the the and they are fifteen looking turkish gasket okay some i don't think they need they run about twenty five twenty seven dollars well the kenemot fury mags were going for thirty dollars apiece they're going for ten dollars if you buy just one but that's not the best of it now kenemot fury to twelve-gauge five-round mags if you buy there's two different keys there guys If you buy 10 or more, they drop to $7 a piece. 10 magazines is a good amount for a battle pack. Well, remember, I go number 4 buck and every time you pull the trigger, you're putting the equivalent to a magazine's worth of pellets downrange at basically a little under the same velocity. But you're putting the same weight pellet downrange times the equivalent to a whole magazine with one trigger pull. only instead of it being sprayed one bullet after the other and bouncing because of recoil instead for especially house clearing or urban when you pull that trigger all those 30 rounds went down range simultaneously it's kind of hard to dodge a wall oh yeah you know what I mean so one pellet or another I'll be happy if just one pellet gets you but I'd like to see a few more and I better be practicing at this but guys 10 mags if you buy 10 or more There are $7 a piece. I don't know if they'll give you a better price even if you buy a hundred, but at $7 a piece for the mags, that makes these the most affordable, functional, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, 12-gauge out there. I would buy one now. Now, I would also point something else, if nothing else, go and buy 10 of the mags. Want to know why? Well, go over to YouTube and look at all the videos that have been done about the Fury 2. Now some people are pissing them all about it because they just love their sagas. But the fact of the matter is, watching all these guys like going through 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 rounds and they're trading off back and forth, the one thing that everybody says, but magazines aren't very common. Well, not only are they common right now, but if you have one of those guns, I sure as hell would go to JG Sales and buy 10. You see how that works? But, on the other hand, if you're looking for a magazine-fed shotgun, and think of this as a cache, you're looking for another cache gun or another vehicle gun for a unit or defense guns for a certain group, like a 510 group or whatever, or maybe just to create a suppression gun for a fallback operation. Five round mags, seven dollars apiece, that makes that, again, one fifth the cost of pretty much everybody else's mags. They are the same kind of basic design polymers. The other thing I have not done, I have not compared the Catamount mags to the Sega mags. It would be kind of nice if those Catamount mags at $7 were so close that maybe with a little Dremel grind at one spot, maybe the width is right, maybe the length is right. Chinese aren't really up on changing a lot of stuff if they have cheated and copied somebody. You might just have a really decent mag there that you can work with with those other magazine fed shotguns making it a lot more affordable to have a big stack of those mags, but the catamaw itself It's serviceable enough It is an AK gas system, you know, 12-gauge shotgun. If you buy the gun for $400, you buy 10 of the mags for $70, and guess what? You're in business. Of course, you've got to buy your shot shells, but you pick out the best, cheapest place for that, and they all have the time to run down to Cabela's. See what they got in case lots, or you've got some of the big gun shops through the state of Michigan and all over the country here. A lot of times they have pallets of shot shells, especially this time of year. So your Christmas gift would be kind of fun here at Hi Dear, Got You a Shotgun, oh look a 12 gauge magazine fed and boom boom boom boom. So there's a solution and that's at J&G Sales. Guys you take a look at it, look in there at Christmas Sales for Guns, you'll find both that shotgun there and the star pistol. Go to the Christmas Sales ammo and gear and you'll find the magazines for the catamount there. There's two different listings. One shows a single mag for $10. But if you buy 10 or more, they're $7. Now that's where you start getting down to reasonable price. Which brings me to again an MBR, main battle rifle. The other thing I would point out is we've got these HK91s. They're the PTR91 copy made in the United States. They're not assembled by century. They're made on machinery in the United States, but they are made To mil spec they are the PTR 91 standard classic rifle whatever you know, whatever term they want to use It's the basic rifle 18 inch barrel wood stocks green plastic black plastic and that's only flavored guys all those stocks work just fine But the big thing is again magazines The kit that they're offering is $900, but it comes with $899.95. I'll throw the nickel in. $900. Yeah, $900. Five more pennies. That's less than a returnable bottle in Michigan. So anyway, the $900, but you get the scope, the sun shield for the scope. you get the scope mount, you get a sling, you get 10 magazines and the weapon for $900 and that's still a little cheaper for the 18-inchers than they've been going for. In reality, it knocks the price down to about, you know, again, $800 because of the value of everything that they're throwing in. All of those PTRs, no matter which one it is, are being offered with that kit right now in that kit pattern. But don't go the 16-inch, please don't go the 16-inch and don't buy the folding stock. You don't need that. The basic rifle is cheaper. In fact, the 16s and 18s are the same price. The folding stock, they want a goofy bit more that really it's not worth that kind of money spent, so don't do it. Just get the basic rifle. Get the 18 inch barrel. Your choice of what you think the stock should look like, they're all the same price, and you get them with the kit we're talking about. Now there's your rifle. Or mags? Where do we go? Well, here's where you go. Go to www.royaltigerimports.com www.royaltigerimports.com That's www.royaltigerimports.com. They go to their magazine section, top of the page, right there, alloy, aluminum, military. There's no such thing as aftermarket HK mags of all these surplus mags. These are all German mill mags. a dollar apiece. It's a Christmas special. I know where they're getting them from. The same place I buy them from. And we buy, we can buy thousands, tens of thousands if you wanted at a time. The more you buy them. The more you buy them. Yep, they're in excellent condition. Aluminum is fine. These are not just, you know, some funky D grade aluminum guys. The Germans spent big money on this. Some of it was kind of interesting because the aluminum they chose is more durable. It's an aircraft grade. But it cannot be Heliarked. That's something we know from experience because we were looking at modifying some of these mags for other projects and the metal that they chose incredibly durable, very tough for its gauge, but it will not take a weld. It won't take any kind of Heliark weld in nothing, period. The cut-off date for that randomly if they were before 67, maybe. It depends on which factory they came from, which factory run. But after 6768 they went to this other aluminum for whatever reason and good quality, no problem with it, but you can't do anything with it. On the other hand you can take the steel mags, chop, cut, hack, and you can grind and fold all day and make them work and a lot of other things. And although they're not a dollar a piece, they're still cheaper than FAL and HK, or forgive me, they're cheaper than F and FAL and M14 mags. But at $1 a mag, I would go to CDNN Sports dot com. CDNN Sports, get the HK rifle from there. Go to Royal Tiger Imports, Royal Tiger Imports, and get their magazines for $1 a piece, and I'd buy 100 mags right off the bat. Even if I had to stop eating or eat a whole lot less, I would to buy the mags if I had the rifle. Because that's as cheap as you're going to get anything. It's that simple. And you're going to end up with a superior weapon to begin with. You're going to end up with a very high quality military arm and an 18 inch barrel. Now as far as the .308 ammo, hey guys, figure out what works best in that weapon but ball ammunition only. Only ball. That way when somebody says, throw me a mag mark, and you throw them a mag, no matter what it is, or at least throw them 20 rounds or throw them a box of ammo, it'll work in their gun just like it works in your gun. Because ball ammunition works in everybody's gun. OK, so that's the only real consideration there with the ammo. Initially, you've got to get up to spec real quick. You have to have at least enough ammo to fill up 100 mags, right, Don? I agree. Wholeheartedly. So there we go. Anyway, I want to get that in because We are getting close to Christmas. A lot of you guys were looking for Christmas things. That star is an excellent Christmas gift. The Catamount, like I said, I wasn't excited about it. It is an orphan gun. The PTR90 or the HK91, oh yeah. In fact, right now if I were to go out and I was a first time buyer right now, that's what I'd buy. I love the FAO. I don't know how many. I can't even count how many I've built of those from scratch. and helped to build. I built God knows how many M14s. Back in the 80s we were building those by the hundreds. And militia units here, some of them are completely outfitted with M4A and M1A and M14s. And if we find more we try to direct them that way. But right now if you're coming into the game you don't have as much money. There are some beautiful 308A cases but the mags are not as cheap. This is the best combination of the two. Right now with the package deal with the scopes, you have the scope and the mount and everything, plus some mags, 10 mags, that's a good jump off right from the get go and then you buy the 100 mags and then you buy as much ammunition as you can and now you're up to snuff. You standing next to anybody else, not only have equity, you have superiority in terms of performance. And by the way, Don's Night Vision would fit on that HK. with the picatinny rail top that's on that gun? Yes, it would. And that's down where you come in because, well, I know we've got a change and let's inform everybody today, again, something's happened with green screen in first gen and it's not going to make everybody happy so we've got to be looking for solutions. Go ahead, please. Well, I've had the question a week ago, three weeks ago, do you think there'll be one in a month? I can't do it now. Well, that's a moot point, that question is. irrelevant now because unless you come across the first generation green screen at a gun store or at a gun show, I can't source them anymore. My entry level piece now is unless you want to deal with the white screen, my entry level piece for night vision is a second generation viewer. After that, a second generation gun site. $980 and $1245 respectively. I remind you the biggest step up in performance that read that light amplification is from first to second generation. There's also a big step up in lifetime. But again, first generation green screen is gone, you guys. You bought it up and it's in your hands now. I'm not sitting here telling you I moved at all. That's not true at all. Because we were talking one week about the viewers and one Friday there were 200 and some of them and the next Tuesday they were all gone. and across that time frame I sold like two of them. You guys, you got it? Hooray because the option now is a white light device. Unless you want to move up to a gun site, they call it first generation now. They say it's equivalent to second generation as long as you have the illuminator on. And we've talked about illuminators, so I put that statement out with the D-grain of salt. Because, well, if you've got an illuminator on, a first generation is equivalent to a third generation as far as the illuminator can see. It's not really bragging to say that. I'll have to get one of these in my hand after dark. Again, I think I can do a simple viewer for around $175. Are the rifle sites in white screen available already? Yes. Again, it's all computer generated. the first generation what they're calling first generation gun sight now you can touch a button it'll be mid a green light so they've taken care of that problem there as far as the white light coming out of the gun sight they've looked in that direction you can change the colors on the gun sight to three or four different colors remember what I said that makes sense now they may be able to do the same thing I can't see that the system would be any different for the uh... monitors so just got to figure out how to If they even access the switches, in fact they may have a problem with how they're oriented with the type that they've used. You know, the model of emitter that they've used for whatever the tubes are picking up. Well, that goes back over to BK suggestion changing out white LEDs to green LEDs and then the green light will come out of the device. And that's run back up the flagpole. Let's see if they work with that in their viewers. The company's heard that one. Let's see what they do. Again, it's kind of the rock and hard place as far as entry level night vision right now. If you want to look at the white screen, your light discipline has to go up multi-fold. It's not a toy in a battlefield arena. That's the way to see that. And we've addressed it many times because white light on your face at night is gonna catch even your naked eye, the naked eye of your opponent. Look, it's the moon! But it's in the wrong place. I know, but it's the moon! It's over there in that thicket. It's got a face! I see eyes. It's an enemy, man. Well, let's just test this to be safe. Let's see if it's the moon or not. Yep, reconnaissance by fire! 3 o'clock! I wonder if they ever tried using red LEDs instead of green? Well, we go back over to the red thing. The red would be just as bad as far as being viewed by another piece of night vision as white light because red light is right in the middle of the spectrum, even first generation. So green is still the best. Red was the initial with the generation zero, both the German and the American. that it hardly washes out your natural night vision. For the aforementioned reason, we don't have a whole lot of red receptors, so they don't overpower your eye. That was my thought. It wouldn't show up at least not nearly as bad as white. Right. But it's a highly receptive thing to another piece of night vision, first, second, third or fourth. The green falls in the middle of the spectrum where first generation reads real heavy in infrared, second generation does the same thing, third generation reads infrared and ultraviolet. So now that ultraviolet gets up toward the blue light. So that's why you don't really want to use the blue light either. Or if you're looking at a map with the blue lens, you want even to express high light discipline then. Now, looking at a map, unless the map is black and white, if you deploy a colored lens onto some maps, you're going to wonder what your indicators are because sometimes the light washes out the color on the map. It's really good to study maps in the daytime. We've covered this a whole lot of times. If you have to get out a map at night, it's best done under a poncho, inside a closed vehicle, things like that, you know, in a tent. along that line. But if you're looking at a map you've never seen before after dark odds are, you're probably going to have to take a moment or a few minutes at least to study it. So again, it's familiarize yourself with the maps of the area in the daytime. If you have to glimpse or glance at them at night, well, confirm exactly where you are, that can be done in a moment, in an instant almost, if you are familiar with it. So now we've gone over from night vision to maps, but again we're talking about light discipline. That's what led us here. Thank you Fluffy. I think that's Fluffy, right? I was, let's see, was it last night? It was either last night or the night before I was on and looking at the coolest AK ever. The shello AK. Somebody built one, built the receiver out of a shello and used a 762 barrel blank. And that shovel was like five times as thick as a standard AK sheet metal receiver. It was even thicker and more stiff than an RPK receiver. And that barrel blank was at least twice as thick as a standard AK barrel. And among the pictures I found was a 50-yard 10-shot group all in the X-ring. The 10-ring, and a bunch of them were Xs. So this thing turned out to be a tack grabber and it's still got the shovel handle for the stock. No kidding. No kidding at all. Wow. Well, the shovel right off the bat, even as thicker material, if it were thicker material and it had not been forged, it'd still be much more durable. But on top of that, remember typically that's a single strike forged element and then they do a final bend on the flags that make up the wraparound. And they may thermally activate that, you know, heated in different ways or different techniques and then that way it's, you know, it's gripped around. First it's heated and then it's cooling when it's, you know, still when it's first affixed to the handle. So you're looking at a nice piece of steel, standard carbon steel, you know, but it's already, the molecules have already been adjusted. Let's put it that way. Especially in a hammer forge like that. So that is a pretty decent piece of metal. I've argued road signs. If you had a bunch of clunker parts, the AK-47 is machined, but the AKM that we typically get, like the remaining AKs, everybody goes, we still only tin. Well, they kind of really are, because they're a bent piece of sheet metal. Any material out there could be used to basically make that receiver. Now how long it would last would depend on how you reinforce the metal and of course the quality of the metal from the get-go. But the receiver really doesn't take that much abuse on the AK. So when you start tightening up and doubling wall thickness and increasing barrel gauge, You're looking as far as the thickness of the barrel. I've always argued I don't really care to shave off a pound off that weapon. Which is what everybody's been trying saying, we can car up another half pound off. Are you really that lame? Not a people are, yeah. Well, seriously, it's like we're to the point. It like the whole idea of their whole argument and I was around you guys all of you around for this remember why we had to get away from the M14 and go to the M16? Yeah, we had to go to a lighter gun by a little under about two pounds But then by the time we added all the junk go weigh in one of these M4s right now Probably just about as heavy almost as heavy as an M14. Yeah, if not heavier There are old guys that are being thrown right back on it. My dad was a World War II infantryman in Germany and he carried the M1A go. He said that something like 8-3 quarter inch rifle just never bothered him with the weight. Not once. When he comes to shooting him. Every time. Yeah, yeah when it comes to shooting it as far as a light rifle boy. It's great to carry, but lousy to shoot Mm-hmm right the other the other direction to go is the carbine and the carbine fits its niche a Lot of guys did well with it. It gave them a seal again What you people look at it as a suppression or keep them busy rifle Certainly would kill you dead dead dead you don't get shot with anything that's been put in the military service no matter what the hell it is but the the thing it gets me about this is Every one of these designs are all these arguments about the AKs not as good. Well, you know if you built the weapon differently Which is what you're talking about here, especially going into the heavy barrel, you know specs Mm-hmm Increasingly get the weight of the barrel you could fluid it to carve a little weight off, but still keep it strong You know do what they did with a sniper barrels, but that's not really critical You know, I'd leave the weight down plus I leave the weight in the front anyway It's a full-auto weapon typically and if it was select fire put a little weight forward is a good thing Even if it's no select fire, rapid fire, it would keep the muzzle rise down. This is why I tell everybody to watch these videos of what's going on in the Ukraine. If you watch, you can tell there is actually very little select fire use going on. They're all carrying full auto AKs. And if you watch when they're doing suppression fire, they're going to semi-auto and they're, again, trigger pull, bring the weapon down, keep the weapon generally under the target, don't let it muzzle climb. And you can see this in dozens and dozens and dozens of videos right now. Even the RPKs, typically they're leaving them over on semi and bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah That's because they're bringing the targets onto the target or the general target area rather than just letting it fly over somebody's head. Now they do suppression for, you know, again, keep them busy shooting too. In other words, when they're withdrawing, the idea is put bullets in all directions and, you know, the fallback guys, their job is to keep their heads down while everybody else is running for the transport. And there's some excellent examples out there, but if you watch, There is nobody that I've seen that's just burning a mag unless they've really got it zeroed in a target and they've got it on a tripod. You know, like some of the squad guns, you know, and the platoon guns in 7.62x54R. Other than that, everybody else is staying on mark and they're, you know, they're slowing down. So think about that. And they have, they do have a selector and those are not three round bursts only. Those are full auto. They are not doing the Iraqi over your head or the Afghan over your head with a squat and just not looking but just taking it over the rock and burning the ammo. They are not counting on God damn their bullets. It will kind of get there sir. We will go down range. The other part about that is just real quick is a footnote guys. If you watch all these videos, if I wanted everybody to stop fighting over the Donuts airport, There is so little left of it. It looks worse than a video game now You know, I mean if you watch some of these first shooter video games where the you know The whole place is in wreckage and ruin it looks worse and they're still fighting over it because it's guys It's an important strategic target. You know what? If I were the info if I were a militia I went in there I'd blow up every stinking thing that was left and start crippling it and then I'd crater charge a runway and that stopped this battle real quick Yep, because it's worthless right now. Anyway, there's nothing anyone can do with the place I mean they destroyed it There's a drive-through is done by a guy that was you know with one of the militia units There isn't anything that either hasn't been shot or burned I don't know if there's even a piece of rolling stock left there that hasn't either burned blown up or you know It's so shot to snot but not completely destroyed to the point where you can figure out what it is That there's nothing to work with there and to me. It's like now. It's like Stalingrad. What are you fighting over? Charred earth Well at this point in time you're wasting resources. So here's what I'd do. I'd take it, I'd have engineers, I'd crater charge every stinkin' foot of that runway. I would put holes in it as deep as I could. I'd bring artillery shells in, tell the demolition crew, the engineers, rig them, cap them, and let's get the hell out of here. And you know what? You want this airport, it ain't an airport anymore. Because this is a waste of resources. It sounds impressive, but you know they're so fixated on the name. But it's not an airport anymore. In fact, if my creator charged it, it's just a big flat piece of wreckage in real estate that's useless. And that's what they need to do. And that will stop that battle real quick. One group is fighting for it because the other group is fighting for it. Yeah. We're going to get the airport. We have no plane. In fact, there's not a plane out there that isn't burned or wreckage. There's another thing. I counted 48 aircraft, right? All types. Big jets, little jets, probably some military fighters that originally were there when the thing first started. and everything's wreckage. All the snow removal equipment, everything's wreckage. And they drove right by the motor pool. Every truck, every luggage handler, all of the maintenance vehicles, they're all wreckage. They showed a picture of the main terminal. We got the main terminal. Guys, I don't think anybody's going to the main terminal to buy tickets by the looks of it. You know what I mean? It doesn't have much. What are you going to do here? Well, we do the wreckage to get to the broken glass. Oh wait a minute, is there anybody behind the counter? No. Will there be anybody anytime soon? Hell no. No. It's fragged. They've been putting bullets, they've been putting anti-tank rounds and gun rounds through that thing, artillery rounds through there, left, right, up and down. You can count 100 different attacks. And it's to the point where it's like Stalingrad. It's just a waste of time. And manpower. I'd use my manpower a whole hell of a lot better if I were the militia commander. Get the engineers up here. Give me that artillery battery. Bring some shells in you got that are goofier, you know, giving you problems. We'll cap them off. You line them up. Let's face them in, you know, face them in or tamp them into the runway. They probably wonder what you're doing real quick. Because I zigzag the runway and just blow the living snot out of it. I know it's deep. That's why I'm going to have to use the artillery shells. But the idea behind it is that now I can't see a whole lot of reason to be here. Can you? No. Yeah. There were a couple of guys go there once in a while and pop off a few shots just to keep the other guys happy. Right, every time the engineers try to come out and fix the runway, those are the people you shoot when they try to fix it. Which would I get by what? Two or three guys? Yeah, and I think you might as well stop fighting over this. Nobody's going to be using it for quite some time, if ever. In fact, to be quite honest, since it's an international zone, I was kind of in a conversation last night with somebody on this. First, I'd wreck it and then we'd never use it again and the bankers would be screwed. In reality, that's what this is about. It's like the Sarajevo Airport. Remember that Don? There was a big fight for the Sarajevo. Sarajevo was under siege and the bankers were all, we've got to get that open. We've got to remember they just had the Olympics there, guys. big investment. all my god what they'll have a big box very bad but that you know that it's like why it was the bankers the whole thing with them screwing that country up and and the euro's mocking up you the slobby because they could have it hanging around and then it's like what we've got to go in there and kill for to get sure you have open back up and even now it's like what effect is a story dot or if you guys seen this dot if you see there's a new book out with the guys talking about the you know the uh... breakup, you know, in Sarajevo and all the problems that happen. And by what his description is, it's like it basically validates what I said. We've got to get the airport opened up and it's like, why? Well, commerce! What kind of commerce? What's so critical? What in aviation is so critical for real beneficial commerce? Because anything shipped by air is hypersensitive. It has to be valuable to ship by air in the first place or it's not worth it. Trucks and trains do a better job. much more efficient. Yeah, so what it comes down to is because of its international zone and its footprint on the land for the pigs that are the globalists that occupy or are trying to occupy the planet. Just like here in the US, that's one of the things. Everybody goes, well, we'd be ours and we'd have to keep them now. At first I'd surround it, then I would rip everything up, and then I would frag the airports and they would cease to exist, the ones that are there. We make new American airports again. That way they could go, well we have this international zone. Yeah, it's a big grass field and no big aircraft will land there ever again. And anybody attempting to violate airspace will be shot down if they're not authorized. Your international zone landing points aren't going to do you any good. But don't worry, they won't be around anymore either. Those are all gone. We'll have to pick no locations. It means lots of construction activity, great opportunities for people with jobs. And we'll just disassemble all the junk that's at the other sites. and they're a piece of property will be surrounded will turn into a really nice parkland and start growing trees there and if you had any money left we'd send you a bill for all of that yeah exactly oh yes we would we make we do to them what they do to us with their cycle babble BS with the shaster bankers you know the American United States of America Bank is sending you a bill And by the way, you step foot on the property or in the piece of real estate here inside the United States, you're sorry arse going to jail and you probably have to have light pumped to you because I won't let you go and you won't be able to get out on bail and you'll never see the light of day again. Even if you do farm or don't? Could graze cattle on part of it. Yeah. I see. What night? You know, we do in Detroit. Yeah. Well, you know, that's a problem. I like trees because you see trees are obstacles. It takes more work from to try and bring the property back. You know, start growing something that goes fast. Popples and pine trees mixed in. Yeah, pine trees grow fast. Oak trees grow strong. Between the mix of them, when one starts to die off in its cycle, the popples, you can start harvesting those for wood or for pulp or paper or whatever. And then you still got the pines pretty well developed and they continue to mature. So, it didn't work. But I've already decided on that. And again, for our people, anybody who might be listening over to Ukraine, hey guys, You don't need a Stalingrad. It was just a meat grinder. It was a worthless waste of time. Not that war is really any beneficial thing except every once in a while you've got to fight for your liberty. But here again, it's a waste of time. We're going to get the Donuts Airport. It's no longer an airport. It's a big flat piece of real estate with lots of craters and wreckage. And the wreckage, well for scrap metal maybe, but not a whole lot for useful purpose. Even the hangars are shot to snot, burned down, half of them have aircraft that are burned inside them. There's some really graphic, very well done imagery with the guys, kind of like what happened at the end of the Iraq war where they're just jumping their vehicle. When the militia took the airport, it's been seesawing back and forth. The militia backed off, the Ukrainians came in, then the East Ukrainians, the militia came back, they took it again. Well, when they've gone in there, they've driven through the place. There's an excellent 20 minute video where you run right along the tarmac and filming everything you can see. It's a waste and it's a stalling drug. If somebody thinks about this properly, demolishes it and steps out of there, they would save their army and it would defeat the whole purpose behind anybody's expense from that point forward to try and go back in. That would be the purpose. That way I would save my manpower, I would save my ammo, I would save my heavy weapons, and I wouldn't be wasting my troops' time. Let's focus on taking other pieces of real estate. The airport is a waste. By the way, we've got lots of little airports all over the place. I guess something to talk about that's at Joe Bob's, but there's not much time now. Go ahead. What was it? Go ahead. And they've got the cheapest price on the finishing jig that I've seen anywhere. As I recall, I believe it was like $68 for the complete finishing jig to finish your own 80% receiver. Which is good for not just the one you're doing now, but the others you get later. Right. The cheapest I've seen them elsewhere for the complete jig is something like about $150. So this is like half at $68. Yes, the side jigs to drill the side holes and what goes on top to drill out the Firing pin the fire control group hole and they have the 80% receivers too for something like around 60 bucks I think now again Joe Bob out figures guys. They were the first ones have the polymer Completed systems and they were down around $78 when they first came in right around there and that was with everything on board course Those are FFL The 80% especially with some of these bargain basements, like I said before, I wouldn't go anything but the cheapest in all categories to put a rack of AR-15s up quick. If you're going to go that way, more is better. And you can still get a nice sound rifle. It just doesn't have any fancy bells or whistles on it. And keep it around $400 to $500 at the most right now. I think you can even drop it a little lower if you're searching and they're a little selective with the bolt carriers because there have been some people with a really good price in a bolt carrier and the charging handle buy the uppers for about $225 to $230 if they don't have the bolt carrier and the charging handle. Then you're looking at, like you said, the 80%. That would be one way to go or the Joe Bob Outfitter $120 lowers. So you can put a pretty good price in a bolt carrier. Those are good units. Everybody that I've talked to that's built those, the guys that are up north I just talked to, they probably put close to 150 or 200 of those together. They've lost count now because they've just been cranking them out for the women and the kids. An M4 slash CAR-15 is just fine. It fits everybody. It's a piece of junk, but it's a cool piece of junk because when you put it together, I can give it to a 9-year-old and in the next minute I give it to Don. He can open up the stock and it fits Don just like it fits a 9-year-old. That's what makes that rifle such a utility, like a rack weapon that you need to have everywhere. Everybody should have an AR-15. I hate them, but everybody should have an AR-15. I would have more. I would just keep putting more on the shelf as long as we can keep finding the better prices for the parts. On that note before I forget. There's always one more thing guys number one center fire systems has and on that 9 millimeter pistol They have 9 millimeter FMJ 115 grain pod jet technology This is apparently Bosnian ammunition 100 round buckets plastic buckets for 1999 $20 for 100 rounds ball Apparently it looks like it might even be I'm gonna find out here in a minute It looks like 100 rounds in a plastic can FMJ non-corrosive steel case boxer primed. Steel case boxer primed. That means you save all of these cases. I don't care if they're steel. They will reload. 9mm doesn't stress the case that much, guys. Come on. No. So once it's fire-forming and done, it's ready to go. So that's right on the front page, up in the scroll, and it's 100 rounds of pod Oh, wait a minute. Pobjetta. I said Pob, didn't I? How about Pobjetta? What a mouthful. And it's probably actually pronounced Bob-y-etta. It's Pobjetta. There we go. Because the J is, of course, as we know, Simon. So it's Pobjetta. Hey, Dad. Yep, we got in there. I wanted to remind everybody about the drawing that we've got this week also. We do have the t-shirt that came in. I was looking at the calendar, though. I'm not sure if we want to do a... drawing next week because of Christmas right in the middle of the week? Right, we could do it for the New Year's. We'll go through the Christmas week to the New Year. Give people time to be able to put money together because we actually had a conversation on our remember this morning too about it. The idea here is that we've got this week's drawing, which will be this Friday, we've already put that in motion. We'll probably give everybody a little more time rather than just rushing through Christmas. We'll go to New Year's for the next drawing and then we'll probably do one a month. That's actually a good idea. We've got the drawing this Friday that is not for the t-shirt, it's for another bowie knife or what type of knife is that for? We've got a bowie knife, a folding knife set, and more of the soaps, which I think everybody's going to like. They're very high quality. In addition to that, we have two more of the patrol hats, the baseball caps with the Patriot militia. Don, you have one of those now. Yes, I do. That's a pretty cool cap. They're Woodland Camel. You see what I was talking about with the duck bill, the way they're built, right? Yep. Guys, those are not cheap. I've been trying to price wholesale on those and they don't come down much. Whoever's selling them is not making a whole lot on those hats because looking at the wholesale price and talking to them, they're pretty expensive for an embroideable hat, something you can put some print on or something. Anyway, we also have a gunsleeve, a couple other items too. I'll go through the list here. I've actually got them in a box right now. And we've got another box with stuff that people have brought in to donate from different allies in stores. And they're trying to find little reasonably priced items, something not too expensive and not too shabby at all. In fact, just reverse. I like everything that we got. It'd be nice to keep it, but we can't do that. So, you're getting some pretty cool deals. Everybody that was named, except for the address to you for the knife, fork, and spoon set. I've got that right here in front of me. As a matter of fact, we'll take care of that tonight. Okay. And guys, everybody's stuff is in the mail right now, so watch your mailbox. So, the sooner we get it out, the sooner we get there before Christmas, we have another cool thing under the tree, maybe. Otherwise, for the big event around New Years, we'll have the T-shirt, we will probably have a pistol bow, pistol crossbow, we will have a couple of other knives, and a couple of little toolkits, which are really neat. In fact, also some combo rigs, both in this one, I think we're going to have a tie down stay and cargo kit system with bungee cords, rope, fasteners and a couple other connector items. So you can apply it in a number of different ways but it's all tactical color and it's all tactical gear. So we're heading in the right direction. I want to say thank you to all the people that have already donated. We appreciate that. The next drawing is this Friday and that will be at 8 p.m. just like we did before. Ed is collecting the names, cutting up all the little clips and putting them in the box. You can also donate by going and sending a donation to PBNPOBox194DexterMichigan48130. Ten dollars will get your name in the hat five times and if you do that, if we don't get in this drawing, we'll automatically put you into the big drawing coming up too. As it stands right now, dad, anybody who enters you got a pretty good chance because we don't have many entries in for this week's drawing so far. There we go. So again, take the time if you could. uh... we've got a cover hard drive and shipping for a couple other items and a couple of bills that will help take care of upgrades so it's just we're very short list very specific list and if we get everybody to help out we get the job done and we'll be listener supported which is pretty cool not done it you're going to get a information on what on the white screen uh... sales prices so that we can kind of peruse what they have there in the new line correct So guys, for everybody out there, be patient. Don, how can we get hold of you? Night Vision, we're at the top of the hour already. Well, we're going to run, we'll get through this. Hey, if you want to talk about Night Vision, my phone number is 231-796-8458. And you hear occasionally on the hour, bend that knee. You know, you've heard it, pray for those who can't help themselves, pray for the nation. As an example, just find out what happened to that Jesuit in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Just find out for yourself. I could tell you, but you would not believe me. I could tell you, but you would not believe me. Again, we are at the top. Don, can you stick around? I'm here until the top, Mark. I gotta be gone, I can't do the 8 o'clock hour but I'm here till 7. Oh till 7, very good. Well how do you like that little guy? Well sorry about that, I wasn't trying to run you off at all. Oh no, we're right here with you. Good. Well guys, for everybody out there, it's been a long day actually. We've got several things we want to touch on, but I want to remind everybody again, heavy under the Christmas tree, ammunition, mags, weapons, tools, that's all you'd be giving out. I don't care how young the person is, I don't care how old the person is. You send a message. And the way to send a message, if you're going to spend money, you spend it to tactically support the effort. And that's by arming up and equipping up other people in addition to just yourself. And if they won't use it, Go collect it later and you'll have it back and you already spent the money on it. Congratulations. God bless the republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march both day and night. I tell you what, there's a whole bunch of Glock 35 Gen 4 trade-ins, guys. And the Gen 4s just came out. And they're all over the place. Dom, that's kind of strange. I guess they didn't like those gem forests as much as they thought they would, right? Yeah, I guess. It's the latest thing. Just got got out of heaven. Anyway, we'll be back in a minute. Don, close us for this moment. Your number for night is complete. Hey, if you're looking for goggles or gunsights, green screens or thermal, my phone number is 2317-96840.
