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. Invist 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 will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for what you will 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 Iowoc, 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 him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free and good evening ladies and gentlemen This is the evening intelligence report. I'm our kirnke one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west central southeast and ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on 33radio.4mg.com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com we're on AM&M microstations CV base stations, alternate hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Hallmark Network for all our friends out there we've got a new hub going up in Virginia. Again for everybody out there remember we don't take the center we occupy all of the perimeter and encapsulate the aggressor sites. So again a roundabout is where we're headed. You all know what I mean guys. It's kind of like the League of Expressways around metropolitan areas. So, for everybody out there, it is, of course, it's Wednesday, and it's weapons Wednesday at that, it is the 11th of February. It is the 7th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K, 2015, old earth calendar, or 2015 year of battle. Well, everybody, if you've been paying attention, a bunch of interesting stuff happening in country, seeing some pushback attack in certain areas with regard to uh... the couple of different firearms uh... laws which of course will just make it more confusing the cops are claiming to hear about the changes and they'll still attack people anyway why well it's because it's all they do nowadays barking dog biting dog crazy dog and people for dogs to if you've seen some of the latest pictures from the twilight zone stuff putting a german shepherd into a human coffin Because it was a police canine and now in Georgia, well they want to be able to have you executed for killing a dog if it's a cop dog. Because cop dogs are much more important than your dogs are. So if the cops kill our dogs, it's murder too, right? Oh no, no, no, no, no. The dog, the four-legged dog is going to be more important than the taxpayer. and more important certainly than the taxpayers dog anybody think about that one well the dog at least but also above you you know cops kill you all may have a probably it was within their parameters which is murder america be done with it but boy a cop dog gets killed and they want to charge you with murder really I would love to see that in the history of this country where any of the founding fathers would have compared a dog to a human being. I really want, I wish I had Jefferson alive right now. It's like, well it's not good the dog is killed but are you people, are you Looney Tunes? Have you gone so far around the corner you can't see the corner anymore? Are you really that stupid? Really? I mean it's like, hello? Well, I'll tell you what. There are these loons are so roided up these loons are so goofed up or screwed up in the head They got definitely something wrong with but you know what here's how it works if you're gonna say that killing a police dog is again murder Then I would assume that at the very least when you kill a family pet it's manslaughter And then perhaps murder if you premeditated and came on the property the whole nine yards, then it becomes murder there, right? So the cops are going to be executed for murdering family pets now, right? Oh, no, there's nothing like that! Well, really, I'm a little confused here. So this is where we're seeing more of the true nature of the Admiralty Law. the hated Admiralty courts and what the Shisters are all about so pay attention that's happening in Georgia right now Yeah, the ring knockers there out of the GBI and such I'm sure really going to town on that one Haha hogs are above the peasants now Haha police state dogs are above all you tax-paying peasants Isn't that funny? Isn't that funny? you know what I mean. Well anyway, it is a beautiful weapons Wednesday. It's the middle of the week. Gray all day and gray hopefully into the evening. Hopefully still got that gray cover. At least it can't get too much colder. Well you know how that works. We can still get a cold front on top of a cold front or on top of even a neutral front. Stop that moisture down on us so we got to watch out. If you're heading out tonight make sure you grab your coat and make sure that you grab your hat and gloves. uh... real quick heads up here and again i think it is i was going to get back to them already be gone had a couple of sales at cb and investments cd and and investment com and i don't know if they're still there but they had a couple of magazine sales going on not just the deal with the you know magazines with the rifles and all all all well take it back there's even something more interesting the popped up on the front page don't know if it will have sixteen-inch still good rifle But let's see what we have here on the front page they have right now for another 16 hours PTR 91 30 weight 16 inch park rise green stock 20 round PTR 91 for $799 and 89 cents. I'll throw the 11 cents in there and it's $800 but That's a good price for a PTR 91. I would prefer an 18 inch barrel. They do have probably some of these 16 inch left over in a pile because that's something that they kind of pushed here a little bit ago and they bought into them. When they did the sale, all the 18 inch guns sold first, which is good. I hope people are listening. If you're buying a 308 rifle, you need a longer barrel. Why did you buy it? But the 16 inch for $800, still reasonable. If you are looking for additional rifles and you want to top out the rack a little bit or you are looking for again HK91 type 510 rifles then it would be a solution since it is a little better price, not really something to be going wow about but it is a better price. Okay, well it looks like the 20 rounders are gone again. Oh man, I will tell you what I tried to get up here, well of course we had things we had to take care of earlier. We had no choice, but I would point out that they still have the AK74 40 rounders. Apparently these aren't moving real quick, which is cool. So for $9, they've got the AK74 40 rounders 545x39 Zytel Waffle Mags from ProMag. That's a reasonable price for some additional mags for your AK74. Like you could put them in your dump bag for that matter. For that price they can go into your dump slash breakout bag when the time comes. They do have some AR-15, 30 round, 223 black mags still. They had some 20s. Those are apparently gone again. But they have the 30s for $6 apiece. They are pro mag. Nothing exciting, but they're serviceable utility mags. And again, if you're going to the range, take your cheaper mags and wear them out. Save those thirty and forty dollar mag pull mags or whatever top-end mag you got for when you are going to be in combat. Wear out the cheap mags. A lot of people, they always do just remember, oh my God, we've got to use the top of the line. Well, of course you do. But for training and for just utility range familiarization with new troops, pop in those six dollar mags and that saves those big mags so they'll work longer for you on the battlefield when the time comes, right? It makes sense to me. Anyway, there was a question. We were talking yesterday, well actually this morning, forgive me, yesterday. It seems like a whole day the way the day's gone. 1911, eight round 45 ACP magazine, bulk Smith and Wesson OEMs for $19.99 a piece. Now you're familiar with Smith and Wesson. These are 1911 mags. They're eight rounders for $20, $19.99. Now we were talking about other 8 shot 45 ACP mags this morning and guys, be quite honest, there's a whole bunch of decent arms out there that are definitely worth picking up in the 1911 package. As far as the mags go, the 7s and 8s are pretty well proven out. Even the cheaper seven-rounders, I have not had one that's been really a critical problem in any way, shape, or form. But, and I'm talking about buying bargain-basement cheap, and you know, you had 20-30-40 mags. You load them up, you burn a whole lot of ammo special, and the government was providing it, which they used to. I used to be, again, a competition shooter. And certainly the government mags were better, you know, billed, but short of something really bizarre happening, if it's made by Smith or any of these signature companies, Typically, they work. Just that simple. So what you're looking at is, well, component value. What about the base cap? What is it made of? Take a look at it. Do you like it? Well, they've got these 1911 eight-rounders that are S&W mags, OEM mags, for $20 apiece and not a bad price for something in the middle range, mag price range. Now everybody goes, middle range marked $20 apiece. Oh, guys. Oh. Trust me, you know you can pay a lot more than $20 for a 1911 magazine. If it's got somebody's name on it that's won, say, the Master Combat Competition shoots of whatever kind and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, $40 a mag and you just have to pay that much. Which, it's OK. For those that can, do keep doing it. A lot of us can't do that. Looking for utility field grade mags that are functional? Well, there again. This is a good choice. $20 a piece is mid-range price. You can find some for a little less, but you're going to have to shop around. So check out the prices. The 20 rounders are already gone again. They were at CDN and investments. It seems like they're getting a batch in and they're selling out. And you know, as quick as they post them, they're selling out of them. It appears that is the extent right there on that first page is the extent of what they have in their email specials and catalog specials. So again, a heads up there. They do have a PTR 91 on the front page on a timer. It's green stocks, which I like. I really do like the green stocks on the HK. A parkerized finish, that's again up and down. They've been done this parkerized, they've been done with a hard coat, and they've been done with conventional paint. A 16 inch barrel, it's the second choice that I would make, but the price, it's about a hundred and some dollar savings over the average price, so that's not bad, $800 a gun. It's a .308 battle rifle. I prefer an 18 inch barrel. If you go to their firearms section, let's see if they do have anything like that. What their next price up is. If we're looking at semi auto rifles, we're looking at PTR 91. That's what I'm interested in. Let's see if we can find out about PTR. There we go. Wow, look at that. They do have some PTR stuff there. In this case, see what they have. We're getting there. Anyway, okay, here we go. Actually, the cheapest, the next one up are parallel with black stocks. They want $900 for it. So it's $100 less for the green stocks, to be quite honest. If you're going to go the 16 incher, go the green stocks and go the one on sale. However, for $850, you got the PTR 91-308 in the wood stock configuration. That works fine. It ain't talking drugs. Wood stock, you know, yeah, yeah, a concert. The Reol8 18 inch woodstock, $850 a piece, which is pretty reasonable. And again, try to go the longer barrel. So for another $50, you get two more inches of barrel, you get the wooden stocks. You can always change out the plastic as you want to. Don't buy the collapsing stock model. You don't need it. And if you want a collapsing stock, you can buy it separate. I think you're going to find you won't like that. OK, you really won't. So don't bother. Again, if you do, go to the 18 inch. They're selling the collapsible stock for $1,100 with the collapsible stock and the thick stock coming along with it. That's cute, but I can buy the folding stock from a number of different companies from even almost for the jobber price if I look around. Again, best price by $50 is the 16 inch with the OD green and parkerized. I spend the extra $50 get the 18 inch barrel do it in the wood because it's $50 cheaper than the plastic and why I don't know. I really don't because the wooden stocks typically have cost more. So if I can get the wood stocks for the same price as the plastic, I can get the plastic in pieces one step at a time for pennies, you know, for a few dollars here, a few dollars there. And that is at CDNNinvestments.com then go to firearms, semi-auto rifles, and then to PTR 91. That's at CDNN Investments or CDNN Sports with a Nest.com. Sports with a Nest.com. Now, I want to address one thing here about the 20 round mags with the slab mags. Really, the 20 round 308 mags certainly is bigger. But you know, it actually is a pretty common size, you know, HK91, M14, FNFL. Pretty convenient to carry around in all those popcorn pockets and spare pockets you have on your gear. Something that we discussed earlier today, the chipmunk rifles, you know, the light rifles like the AK and the AR-15, both of those are light rifles slash carbines. They're not assault rifles because you don't have select fire on them and you really don't want select fire anyway. But as light rifle category weapons, the advantages are magazine size with a 20 rounder for me. I love the 20 round mag because I put one in every pocket of my gear. Now if I did that, I've got six popcorn pockets. Well, I've got two popcorn pockets on the pants. Okay, two one on each side. I've got two slit pockets front and I got two wallet pockets rear. And I can just fit, if I wanted to, two 20-rounders in each of those butt pockets. And the 20-rounders certainly will fit in the slit pockets, though I'd have to use those first because there's no way to keep them in place. I can put a 20-rounder in every popcorn pocket, along with all the other junk I stuff into those pockets. And then I've got my battle blouse, which is four additional popcorn pockets, one mag in each of those. And then my field jacket, hey, how about one mag in each of those pockets? Now, I've still got my combat load. But you know what, if I was just be bopping around kind of casually and just wanted to look like I wasn't too heavily armed, in reality, well let's figure this out. 20 and 20 is 40. I may or may not carry the ones in the slit pockets only because they're kind of obvious. But I can get away with the butt cheek pockets because if I'm standing around and picking my nose and trying to look casual, nobody's going to really notice because my field jacket and my battle blouse overlap with my butt cheeks. The rear end of my hind ends covered, as they say, more ways than one. But anyway, so I've got 80 rounds just in my pants, so to speak. Now, in my battle blouse, well wait, there's another 80 rounds. And in my field jacket, well wait, there's another 80 rounds. Well, you do the math. Hey Mark. 3,200 rounds for, you know, what? How many pockets? That's not bad. And I didn't really overburden myself either. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Hey, uh, this is BC. I noticed on the... to make those, you click on the button that were detailed at that right, and they have the 3.99 each. Okay, well there we go. Well, see there again. And if their price on shipping is reasonable, which it should be. Then you're looking at a pretty decent package that way. And as far as the used masks go, I've got hundreds of them, guys. I grabbed those immediately. When they came from Sturm and they originally came in the country here several years ago now, I was buying them for 50 cents a piece. And that's virtually new. Most of them are like new and even if they're used, what they show is carry wear. uh... internally i doubt they've had very many rounds through it's more carry where in the making the web here you can see on the leading edges and like on the what the high surfaces of the side of the mag but even there you're not talking significant where all these mags are combat worthy from the get-go so they're definitely worthwhile and i've got a idea for most people you want to shave weight which is why the germans did it go with the aluminum mags you'll get back by a couple of steel but buy a pile of the aluminum ones. They're cheaper by far. And that means you got more mags piled up when the time comes, which is a good thing. So let's see, find out more. I just got over there. More info. OK. Right in front of me, underneath the price mark. Slap me in the head. There we go. OK. Yep. And so they do offer the drum for $260, which is about an average price for the drum. That's not a bad price for those right now. Who would make that HK drum? uh... it's an american company i think what they're saying right there x products or whatever yeah x products uh... it's american made if you go to youtube they show all of their drums firing and they are flawless all these these guys built really good my course they are two hundred sixty dollars apiece but uh... for the price these are mil spec made drums a lot of guys have been grabbing them and actually using them for military applications so they make an m fourteen copy they also make an f a l copy They are 50 rounders, really not much deeper than the standard HK mag for the height. For what little extra there is, it's a 50 round air defense drum. We talked about before, tell the PTR-91 gunner he's a squad gunner. There's a 50 round snail drum just like you'd find on an RPK. It's not a 75 or a 90 or a 100 rounder, but hey, 50 rounds is good. You know, boom, boom, boom. And for air defense or as a vehicle gun, again, vehicle mount gun, that's where I would apply this particular, you know, like the .308, is as a vehicle mount weapon and throw the drums in. If you look at our little, you know, Doom buggy, which was one of the training buggies that we have in our videos, you see it buzzing by, you'll notice that all of the guns that are on board are drum mounted. Again, you've got the capability, the vehicle carries the weight, throw the biggest, heaviest drums on there. In fact, the AK that's in that picture is carrying more than 100-round drums. And the AR-15 with the steel drum, that's got a 125-round drum. Both of those are Chinese. So, it's not a bad arrangement. Everybody that's used them is really happy with them. It's just a little pricey for me, I mean, because I'm poor. Most everybody is. Yeah, I'm learning they're with you. I reach, in fact, I'm debating and mulling over and wishing. Well, the thing is, keep building it up. Okay, buy one, just keep adding more on the shelf. Just don't take it out and burn it for the time being. But remember that there's a MAG 58, at least one on the roof of every tank, or an M60, depending on whose country it is still, because we gave a lot of the 60s out to somebody else. And there's anywhere from two to three other .308 caliber guns on the APCs or War Tanks, coaxial 7.62x39 on the Abrams. And that means there's anywhere from 15 to 20 to 30,000 rounds ammo being carried on board. It'll either be on cans outside or it'll be on inboard and outboard. Now for anybody who doubts what I'm saying, let me point something out. Have you ever looked at these pictures of the Stryker? APCs when they were in Iraq. They had a couple little pieces you can go to on YouTube. Pay attention, it's one of those things where they're doing doggy treats to the Iraqi kids. Oh, oh, I mean toys and goodies. And it's all cheap, absolute throwaway Chinese stuff. But, I'm not looking at the toys, I'm not looking at the candy they're throwing out. What I was looking at are the ammo cans on the roof. Because, remember I pointed this out before, there's at least seven different nationalities of ammo on the rack of that American vehicle. There's British 308, there's French 308, there's Pakistani 308, there's Lake City 308, and the picture is digital and it's so clear you can read the manufacturers on the cans. The British have those off tan, not tan, but brown green. They're the easiest ones to spot because they're ordinance colors for their 30 caliber weapons. Either they're blank boxes or for their live boxes are all the same. Those are the quickest ones to pick out. That off brown green you see there, that's Brit. There's a handful of cans of that. Every APC is carrying thousands of rounds, 2, 3, thousands of rounds of .308. So you'll find 308 in the future. The biggest thing is that obviously you're going to keep as much as you can towards the belt fed guns, but stripping off a couple of cans for the 308 gunners is not hard to do. You know, just got to de-shuck it out of those belts. But those are e-cool because those are M60 type disintegrating links. So you just push through and you're done. I have bent many fingernails on those links. They don't look like it would be much fun to put together. It's easier with the M60 type link which is also the MAG58 link, are actually the easiest. The 30 caliber Browning links, you have to have a compressor linker for that. And that looks like a cutting board, where you put all the rounds in, you put the links in, you push the arm down to the base of the case and it shoves the, pushes the rounds into position so that they're pressed into the linker. Or there's the crank type, which is like a monkey crank. I ran through pretty interesting the other day. The wooden one? Are you talking about the wooden? Yeah. Oh yeah, he posted it. He should post that again. Yeah, I tell you, you know how much wood I'm... Yeah, and instead you're talking about a little router time and some screws and very crude and rude, but it works every time. I'd be definitely... I'll tell you what we'll do. We need to keep that in mind because that's a great way to help keep the lights on and to keep the programming up too. Think about it. Oh, absolutely. For you and... Now, for everybody who's wondering, for our guys listening, in fact, I'll tell you what. Post that in Henry's site again. I'll have to find it again. Yeah, because it's a real simple... It's a complete loop video showing the... Here's what it looks like. If you notice, it's basically two 2x4s. One is routed, the base piece is just a piece of 2x4, the other piece has been routed out and tracked out so that you can only load the ammo one way, you load the bullets in, they're held in place. The little shuffleboard piece that pushes the ammo into the mag is nothing more than another block of wood. So in reality, it's the most non-strategic material loading device you could possibly make. well the only thing i was looking at immediately is that you know what we should be able to build that for a three oh eight battle rifle or for any other real the only one of the i mean i might be a little tough to be the uh... seven sixty by fifty four r rim but near nay got or for that for you to get your talker ever you're dragging off or your uh... sega uh... seven sixty by fifty four are typically ten round mags anyway five tens or sometimes twenties but not you know like for the for the uh... toker rifle it's a standard ten the dragon off standard ten so that that can be had loaded but for three oh eight battle rifles like the hk ninety one m fourteen this vehicle solution there too yeah i i would have no yeah that's the only factor that's the binding point you know because it's a fine lip and as it's scrolled or rolled that's always been issue i've always been fast and you know you bring that up i've always been fascinated they got the dp machine gun to work as well as they did Because if you look at that, it's a pan-fed gun. And guys, you've got to take a look at the drum to understand that it's like, how did they get that to work? It's like a big, it's like a chocolate bucket. It's the only way to describe it, and it's like, wow, and it just works. But amazingly enough, not only does it work, it works in a deadly fashion and works quite reliably. So if nothing else, that's one of the reasons I recommend. A lot of times, I know everybody can do this, But if you see a drum, or when they first come into the country, they're usually cheap, buy one. Not because you're necessarily going to have the gun, but because you then have ideas. And there's a lot of stuff that's unique. It's like the Vickers, the Lewis gun, the DP machine gun, which is that pan that sits on the top. You always tell them in World War II movies, or you see them in some of the sci-fi movies, because most people don't recognize them. They're still in service. The Koreans have tons of them. The Chinese have tons of them. Even though they technically moved them on down the road, they don't throw anything away. They've got too many million people to arm. So you will see it in the field, the DP. The thing is that there are a bunch of kits. I don't know how many are left because it seems like they're thinning out. Everybody grabbed them up real quick and scarfed them up. But the pan drum was only like $18. And that was like an excellent condition in Polish manufacture. Well, you know guys, that's a hell of a lot of engineering to have on the shelf to go, hey, I wonder how they did that? And then go, hmm, I could make that. And I could make it fit this and make this gun and make it do this. The idea is that somebody else already worked it out. All you have to do is adapt. So just things to think about there. It's another idea, a top feed drum like the Bren gun or like the PT90, the Stargate rifle. That's how everybody usually recognizes it. That again is an oddball magazine system. It feeds from the top, but it's perpendicular. The rounds travel perpendicular down the mag, and then they're indexed with a pivot that the mag loads into, which is really bizarre. It's a little complicated as far as my tastes go, but a lot of people like it. a We just got to look at do we want to build it or not. Now that loader is all wood for people who haven't seen it. So guys, it's as non-critical as you could get. Not going to tax the supply system. It wouldn't be hard to build it. Like you said, a whole lot of them. And I'll tell you what we'll do. If you can figure out BC how to make it happen, and we can get it posted back up on Henry's program, we might put a little sub-attachment there with an explanation of what you can do. Well, absolutely. I'm back through this one place I found it at. Very good. Quick for everybody, when you go to the front page of CDNN Sports, there's additional information. When you scroll down to the bottom, what BC's talking about is they have the $10 mags, which are refinished with tiny dents. I love that. And or just aluminum used magazines for $4. Well, don't worry about the refinished. Just grab the aluminum mags and buy more of them. That's a reasonable price for the mags and again, it's the cheapest 308 battle rifle magazine on the planet. That's why that rifle is so useful right now. Otherwise, you know what, as long as we got you here, you got a program on you're going to be up tomorrow as a matter of fact. Tell everybody how we can find you. Yes, sir. Apparently going through it. There's a lot of material looking at tomorrow. It'll be tomorrow between the afternoon and the evening program. That's 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern time. It's live broadcasting right here on Liberty Tree Radio. Before we go any farther, something else I wanted to mention. Guys, we've talked a lot about, and I know everybody talks about body armor. Right now, the Eastern Block steel helmets are coming down in price. For whatever reason, the wholesalers are knocking the price down on certain things that are in the armor category. Just a heads up now one of the reasons obviously Kevlar is really being pushed in the field. I mean pushed you know for service Just as many of the troops out there. You're what you're seeing them with is a cloth helmet cover There's two ways the Russians dealt with this step one. They had lots of the steel helmets They weren't going to get rid of them step two is well since we got the steel helmets, but everybody thinks they need Kevlar How can we fix it there's about four generations of soft add-on covers? Now, literally soft Kevlar. Now the first ones were clunky, lunky, and they didn't seem to get the right size to where it needed to be. So if you look and go back through some of the pictures from over the last 20 years, you look at some of their helmets and you're going, man, what the hell is going on with that? Well, that's because they were using the steel helmet as a base. And the helmet cover, the cloth helmet cover, literally held the soft Kevlar panels in place. And like your undercover vest goes over your chest, right? Well, the thing is that they had developed a number of other modifications with more of a cast rigid shell that will drop right onto a standard steel brain bucket with the traditional Russian M43 types. And those are just as common I think right now, including the fact there are still a lot of steel helmets on a lot of the beaners over there during this Ukraine conflict. But the next step is that they went to a committed Kevlar series of Kevlar designs that are of the same pattern that we have. Now for whatever reason, I'm just giving a heads up because we might see a little bit of a savings on the steel helmets, the Eastern Bloc steel helmets for a bit. Probably about a $3 or $4 drop from the wholesale end on certain models. In fact, it looks like it's across the board. and because of that you're going to probably see a little bit of a savings with like sportsman's guide or cheaper than dirt i hate mentioning them because they were copping out soon as they they pat they've just prepared for something started here is with the gun grabbers but uh... whoever it is you're looking at check them out do a quick search across the system you might find some pretty good buys right now again the hungarian the ball garian So Czech and Polish are coming out in force. The Polish are typically in better condition, well it's true with all their equipment, but the Polish steel helmets are running on the wholesale end about $7. And typically they'll hover just a little above that. with the bulk companies because they get a really better deal on wholesale prices like they'll drop another 40% or 30% and then that means their price will hover around basically where the regular wholesale price is. So I'm guesstimating, you might be seeing some steel helmets out there for about the 10 or you know between 8 and 10 dollar range. They're good helmets, you got to remember the euros come in sizes, metric sizes just like the gas masks. 55 is small. They actually get out even to 53's. I'm sure they may even get out of 50's. Those would be kitty size or very tiny person size. But 55 is small, extra small to small. Typically for the average adult out there, between 59 and 61 metric is what you need in the size for those helmets. It doesn't mean you can't use the others, but they're size specific. Now I would point out that this is the same thing that happened with the Kevlar helmets. Kevlar helmets are not one size fits all. There's extra, extra small, extra small, small, medium, large, extra large, and oh my god, I think you could cover two people's heads with that one. They make a big, big one. I haven't seen any of them in the service ever, but they do make really large, extra, extra large. The average size, medium and large, would fit most people. That covers pretty much all the population. And because of that, typically even if you take an extra small, usually they put a smaller medium on your head and you've got more coverage. They just tighten up the head straps and the sweat band and adjust that first and then adapt everything accordingly. The Kevlar helmets have doubled in price from just what we saw a few years ago. Again, you got to remember guys, those are going overseas. For a short time, as I pointed out, the Serbian helmets, the Serbian Kevlar, started to come in reasonably priced, dried up completely. First, they doubled the price on them so they're the same price as all the other Kevlar helmets. They were half the price of every other Kevlar helmet, but they're the same protection. Now, here's what's interesting is that the helmets that you're seeing the Ukrainians wear, the latest batch look to be Serbian Kevlar. So like I said, what's going to happen is why ship it over to America and go through all the BS and paperwork here when if you smuggle guns and arms across the Ukrainian border, you make more silver that way for less effort. and that's exactly what's happening. So if you pay attention, a lot of stuff, most all these militia that's out there that you've seen over in the Ukraine look just like you guys. If you don't think so, go punch in Ukrainian militia, noble Russian militia, and go images on Google or any other search engine you got, or go look at the videos on YouTube and start stopping, stop the image and look. you'll recognize pretty much every piece of equipment they're wearing. Why? Because you could buy it. You're already using it in many cases. They do have overlapping, you know, older Warsaw Pact equipment. I wouldn't throw it away. And a lot of times people are doing the photography want to show the coolest dudes anyway. They're looking for images that, you know, oh, this is dynamic. So you got to remember, there's a little bit of Hollywood even there. A lot of the other troops are catch-as-catch-can, scavenging off the battlefield and or scavenging off of the basement where they had everything hidden. And then they brought it out for the war and that's where it is now. So the Kevlar helmets are obviously a nice choice. Now look, there are Kevlar covers. I don't know if we're going to see those in the U.S. or not. I haven't seen them yet. Again, we probably won't because there's a place consuming them right now. There are three battlefields going on. All of them are significant. All of them are continually hot. They're going to continue to eat up material for both, you know, going to both sides. So again, more on that. The other thing about the Kevlar helmets, they do offer more protection, certainly for ballistic purposes. Most of what you're wearing the helmet for is so you don't get your head bashed in by stuff that's hanging around that you missed. And I'm going to tell you, as I've said many times, I've worn US Piss Pots, Kevlar helmets, short bucket, you know, assault helmets, the ones made for like, you know, most of the SF units. We've tested or carried all that junk. We've carried the British helmets and used those. But the two that saved my life were Model M29 Swedish single layer steel ring your gourd, you know, piss pots, steel metal pot. Why? Because I was wearing it the night, you know, in both cases, night operations, one time branch right at the place where it shouldn't have been. And if I had been wearing a helmet, it'd get a I slit my head right open, but as it is, I rang my gourd, but you know what, I got right up right away and I didn't have any cuts or major lacerations and I kept right on going. The other, well, getting your head rammed virtually full force straight into the ground, the helmet's kind of nice to have so your skull's a little softer. The steel doesn't give as much. And that makes a big difference to have that kind of protection between whatever it is that's coming at your old beaner there so that we can continue to think with it. So, I helmet, I have a full belief in, I'm not worried about trying to look like a movie shoot where my hair has to be out there because I need to be, you know, like, we're wolves of London, his hair, it was, yeah, whatever. I'm more concerned with the idea that again, keep the troops, you know, we keep the troops as protected as best we can, we're looking at all of the variances and what can happen on the battlefield. You want to see what the world is going to be like, take a look at the Don't Ask Airport and you tell me. See all those sharp, jaggy, nasty, thingy, pokey thingies out there? Notice they're at every height. Wanna ram your beaner into that? Well, his hair was perfect, but boy, let that cut split from the front of his forehead to the side of his ear, and I could take his hair and flip it like it was a toupee. Ooh, look at that brain matter. Ooh, look at that. Ooh, isn't that cool? Yeah, I don't think it's that cool. Okay, so let's kinda prevent that from happening. Prior to proper planning, prevents piss poor performance. Okay. So again, helmets are a good thing. Pick a system, try to adapt it for the whole unit. There are either US piss pots, US M1 steel pots available for reasonable prices still. Right now they're not in vogue as much. The Vietnam thing was coming and going. It's not really up right now for the moment. There's been a little flood of American, Norwegian, French, German, and Dutch M1 helmets. The Germans have an integrated system and are a single shell. The Dutch earn exact copy along with the Norwegian and the Swedish. Their copies of the M1, everything interchanges with the US helmet. In fact, you can't tell the difference. Ones that are in the field have been used for a little bit. Most people can't tell the difference if you don't know the nuances and the different ways that the country's built the helmets. So it makes them useful. You're going to see as many of my troops in M1 steel helmets as anything because I bought hundreds of them. They're complete. They got all the We've got three fitting straps, camo covers, we've got three camo covers for each helmet. We've got the Vietnam-Arab oak green reversible. We've got the early Vietnam Woodland and then we've got the standard US 1980s Woodland. That way everybody can switch out to a helmet cover that completely matches and I know friend foe. And the fact that I can change it out, because what we do is I fold the spare helmet covers up and put them inside the body of the crown of the helmet. The one cover is always on the helmet, and you got everything you need to change out. Plus, if you want to go one step farther, paint the helmet OD green or flat black. If you want to do flat black, keep some electrical tape. At night, until somebody gets really close, most people can't tell that it's a piss pot over a Kevlar helmet. Seriously. And you do it right by the time they figure it out, too late. There you go. Yeah, it was a little different. Sorry about that. Go ahead, caller. Yes, we're on that project right now. I'm going to be, I'm not, hopefully not going to be delayed on it because I'm giving it to the printer, but we're supposed to have the Mahdi, we're going to have the Mahdi completely reintroduced, and I'm going to be doing some math, and we're going to try to explain how to again work the formula down. Remember, it's a half inch gun. Being able to build the Mahdi in .30-06 or .308 and we're building it in .223 immediately. In other words, just scale the design down. Go ahead. Single shot, right? Single shot, bullpup. The buck stock is the bolt. Stock, when you fire the round, you pull the weapon away from your shoulder, grab the butt plate, pivot it, and then extract the bolt, eject the round, Insert the new round, reinsert, insert the bolt, lock the bolt cam into place by putting the buttstock into proper station and back to your shoulder. It's a bullpup so you can have a full length barrel and still have a lot less rifle up in front of you. Follow the manual and everything off the shelf. All you need you can buy off the shelf. The biggest thing is barrels, what you commit to in barrels. See, when the book was written, we were pretty much only doing 50 caliber barrels, because that really was the cheapest way to go in, two 50 caliber gun barrels. But now you can buy barrels from Douglas, you can buy a 50 caliber barrel that would be four feet long. It wasn't chambered, but it would be rifled. You can tell them what rifling you want, it used to be $80 a barrel. However, and again it would be whatever girth you want, which would determine how much more it would cost. If you want to go a really heavy bull barrel, you could scroll a lot down and cut it. But it wouldn't be chambered unless you told them to chamber it. There's a number of different options on that. With barrel companies out there, you can spend more or less depending on what you want to do for the Mahdi now. And you could build your own barrel, but you can buy them for a very reasonable price for a stock barrel now. It won't be chromed or anything, it'll just be basic. And with a 50 you'd have to get a muzzle. A muzzle compensator for it or you can still adapt if you can run into them. The Boys 50 which is what Barrett did originally. The Boys 55 muzzle compensators were originally what Barrett used for his prototypes. And those are out there sometimes but now they used to be getting for about $10 a piece. And those are original in the wrapper. You might still run into them. I saw somebody had some there for about $20 here a little bit ago. They're cool. But the print, all the information to build your own is in the book. You don't have a body. How is the locking system? It's a double cam system, front cam, rear, single cam, like in a Mauser or like a 98 Mauser or Springfield. It's very simple, forward two bolt, it's not a multi cam, it's not a multi cam like an M16 bolt. Think of it like a big K98 Mauser bolt. It's so girthy, it's really easy with hand tools to build all the parts. It's the Sten gun of the .50 caliber world. It's a bolt gun, single shot, but it's still like the Sten gun. You can make them anywhere you got any kind of hand tools. Oh, it's one out of fifty. Yeah, exactly. Well, the thing is, you know, we've been talking about this for years, but like I said, I've got to work the math on it. It's not hard. I'm going to do a math table conversion because all you do is scale it down and you can build it in 30-06 or you can build it with a smaller tube, smaller trunnion. The barrel could be any 30 caliber barrel you could buy that would be in 308. and you can pin it into place just like you do with a bigger gun. So there's a number of different options. And then you can also scale it down even farther and make a neat little backup bullpup .223 rifle. I guess you could also go... Yeah, you could go bigger. That would just be a matter of dimension. In fact, what you do is just go with a standard Monte Griffin body. The only thing that would change would be your bolt face and that one then your chamber. And of course the caliber, the internal dimension of the barrel, the ID. So yeah, you could do that. You could do it. 300 wind would be a good choice. Or one of these new other heavy magnums that Remington and Winchester came up with in the last couple of years, because there's several new ones that they have out. They've got what, 8mm magnum now? Yeah, that's another one eight millimeter seems to be pretty common or at least popular for a bit. You're making several bolt nuts in it right now So that would be another option But it's a Monty Griffin design. Thank you for bringing it up because that's it's sitting right next to me right here we're working on getting that up and the Book form there's no book form. Everything is very self-explanatory very easily done guys to put it together do what they were doing and sit it right We're just reintroducing something somebody else already did all the work on. Repeat? What will the cost be? Oh, we're talking $20. Whatever the cost of printing, plus you're going to have to be covering shipping, you know, and a little bit of help out the station. No, we're not going to go crazy on it. We're going to be comparable to what he originally offered it for. That's a meanwhile we've been tied up with a bunch of extra stuff that you know hit the beach here all at once That's why we've been kind of tied up last couple of days going on three So we're trying to get as much done as we can and we should be on the fast track with a couple of projects once We're past this little fire patch here right now. We're gonna be on the big fast track We have to we gotta get stuff done. Anyway, get what close with me. We're at the top.

In the course of human events, it becomes necessary. for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them. A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government. laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. And accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to write themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. When a long train of abuses and use of patience, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism. It is their right. It is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance. unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained. And when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable only to tyrants. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time after such dissolutions to cause others to be elected. whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. He is combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation. For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us. For protecting them by a mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states. For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world. For imposing taxes on us without our consent. For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. for abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies. For taking away our charters. abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments. For suspending our own legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns and destroyed the lives of our people. He is At this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny. Already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us. and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus smart by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
