Mark Koernke discussed 2016 presidential politics, predicting a Republican would win after eight years of Democratic administration, and analyzed gun control efforts in Connecticut and New York, noting that anti-gun legislators had frozen on further proposals after overreaching. The show featured extensive discussion of ammunition availability, particularly 7.62x39 rounds, and included Don Butcher's detailed technical segment on night vision technology, covering second and third generation tubes, lines per millimeter specifications, and pricing for various optical devices. Koernke also provided firearms recommendations, emphasizing that longer-barreled AR-15s and AK variants offer superior range and accuracy compared to shorter configurations.
Live 365. But, Billie is running again and they were saying Ronald Reagan was too old. Well, Billie is now as old as Ronald Reagan was when he was running. I don't know if they're going to mention she's too old. I don't know. Maybe they will. I think they're going to... We have to... And get this folks too. Think about this. I've been in history. I haven't researched this entirely and I know there are some exceptions such as Reagan Bush. But after eight years of having a Democrat, the people that are really in power and the people that, the slaves, that's you and me, who see what's going on and get highly upset about what's going on, they tend to want to think we're going to go in the other dumb guy. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. So we've had Tweedle Dee in the office for eight years now and now we want Tweedle Dumb because the Tweedle Dee party can't do it. So we're going to get Tweedle Dumb in there, the Tweedle Dumb party. And so, don't you think the people in power, the people who really know what's going on as well, the people who really control what's going on, pull out the strings of our presidents? Don't you think you're going to have to get a Republican in office next? I'm just saying. Now, I need to go research that, but, and again, Reagan Bush would be an exception. I think you're going to find in history that very rarely will you have the same party in office for 12 years straight. I think you're going to find they have to mix it up a little bit. They have to make it look like there's a difference. between the Democrats and the Republicans, and so they're going to have to mix it up, and I don't think the Democrats are going to win. That's just my opinion because you've already had Queen of the Indian office for eight years, and now we're going to have to put something in everybody else. Otherwise, you get disgusted with the system, and you're going to go to another party, a party which they might not control. Of course, you don't elect a president in any way to get over it. You never have, you never will. So, my opinion is, I don't think we're going to get a Democrat enough. So, Bill Murray is just doing this off her shelf. She's going to have to go through a lot of things. She's probably been told, well, why don't you go ahead and run for President? You're not going to win, but we need you to run for President. Do something for the great work, as it's called. The secret society, as they call it, the great work. I don't think we're going to have a Democrat, a peer, personally. And if we have a Bush running, are we going to really get another Bush? That's really going to be, you know, if we go Clinton Bush again, Clinton Bush, they should be all over again. Well, we're already four minutes after the hour, and I don't know what's going on, if anything's being started with the intelligence report or not. Here's something else that I'm going to make a prediction here, and I thought I saw this on the air here a couple months ago, and I got a lot of negative comments about it. And frankly, I'll say it again. I don't care if it's what you think. It's the truth. Supreme Court cases will be coming up someday on the gay marriage issue. I already know how it's going to go. There's no question in my mind because I've studied the secret societies. It will be and I don't care what you think and what your religion thinks or what your good book thinks, your good book thinks, they will make gay marriage legal because that's part of the great work. It's not gay religion, folks. I don't care who you think, what religion you think Obama really is. They've been elevating, they've been making, they have to destroy the family unit. That's one of the things the utility platform is talking about. Make the family unit stronger. Well, I bet you for game areas, how is it going to make the family unit stronger by going for game areas? My opinion on game areas doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what I think. They're not uniquely going to know what your good book thinks. Hey, Henry, I'm sorry I let you go over, but we are way past the top. Okay. Thanks for listening, everybody.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free, the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money'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 and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, to get the torture of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished and missed from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch 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'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? The evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Cranky. And I'm Don Butcher. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com Indian Freedom Talk radio dot com We're on AM&FM Micro stations CB Bay stations and alternate Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies East and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska it was blue most of the day Don it's got little gray high cover out of the south and It's a front. It might actually keep a little bit of heat we got in, not much, but it will do something. So, what's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the date today? What is jumping off the wall up there? Oh, in that part of Michigan, please. Well, it is a beautiful day, intermittent clouds in that B-17 belly, blue sky. I don't know if you'll ever see a Chris Carnicon blue sky ever again, but it was a beautiful day here, tax day. The 15th day of April, you know, tax day. If you don't have them done by now, you better have them post stamped by midnight tonight because it's tax day. And again, it was a beautiful day here until I started thinking about that. But I look outside and my spirits are void. And I look at the calendar and it's the stripe down the middle of the week and I decide, Mark, this afternoon, this evening, we're going to sing a different song, so to speak, because you know I got a, what was once an illegal high capacity magazine in one hand, and I have an M16 type pattern gun in the other that's Mark's Servillian Marksmanship Program, and you know, you insert that magazine into the well, and you slap it home, and you put one in the chamber, and we can tell you it is weapons Wednesday, the perimeter is secure, and you know there's plenty more where that came from, and I'm just gonna leave that mag in there, because boy, there's a lot of bullets in here. That means we can now offer equal opportunity, of course, and force out to the maximum effective range of that defense weapon and have high confidence in it because that weapon is the zenith of that particular variant in technology and gives you the ability to reach out, reach out and touch someone. It is Weapons Wednesday and as we play out a couple interesting things going on with Needless to say, the Shysters at the other end of the system down, the Bummer is of course still desperately trying to get the gun ban in. Actually it's not him. That piece of feces in no way, shape, or form is in charge, except that whatever he's being told by his handlers, he's got to keep bumping. Because of that, as we know, There have been a series of comments made about going after the guns. Once again, especially the right-wing extremists read that. Anybody who's an American who owns a firearm. We all know how that works. We understand the program there, kids. We're not surprised by that, but it is interesting to note that this is also being reflected in a lot of other comments that are being made by state police departments and other critters out there around the country. It's not like it's a surprise in any way, shape or form. There's some lamentation apparently out in California. It's like a given. You don't even worry about California anymore. It's like sinking ship or sunk. What more can they do? Well, not a Hollywood. Yeah, go Hollywood the rest of the way. They're already there. Yeah, for all practical purposes. That's pretty well finished out of the way. to say they're trying to propose some other or additional gun legislation that's been brought out as a couple of alerts. It's like ad nauseam everybody's just, okay, you know, your point, well just go ahead and do it. We're kind of expecting that from you. Nothing that is a surprise from the Connecticut end except that that has gone. Connecticut's gun grab thing has just gone south as in straight to hell. The propaganda of the anti-gunners, of course, are chomping at the bit. The ones that will never be there at the door, they want you to go to the door and kick it in. But those characters that are screaming right now, in the last couple of days, there have been the handgun control incorporated creatures, ADL, that kind of thing, pushing to get the guns in Connecticut. But one thing that's happened with the legislators is that they've frozen in proposing anything else in the way of gun ban or gun legislation or whatever, guys. Has everybody noticed this? I think that's the most fascinating part about what's happening with the battlefield in Connecticut and New York. It's just like freeze. One of the reasons is, well, you've gone to as stupid an extreme as you could with what you originally, you know, what you were pumping, and now there's no place to go. As we've said, they've boxed themselves in. They can't proceed effectively because of the issues that they've already created that they haven't enforced. So this is kind of fun in that respect. Like, well, you're going to pass a whole bunch of other new anti-gun legislation? What's going on in Connecticut? What about New York? And you'll notice that the conversation in that area is completely stifled. I mean, it's like, I would assume it's actually become a taboo discussion point for the politicos there, guys. And it's very, very apparent in light of what we're seeing. It's not action. It's lack of action. Not just the action-enforcing, but the idea that, remember, these characters always love to, you know, lie. They've done this for years. Well, we're not doing whatever that is, you know, that they're doing. Fill in the blank. We're not doing that at all. Well, everything got passed. Yes, now they are, but they're not. They're not proceeding. And this is where everybody gets into a quandary because they don't even know what to say when I have this conversation with people and I approach the subject. Well, why haven't they proceeded? Everybody kind of freezes for a minute and says, well, there's only one possible explanation is they're going to be shot. You see, I mean, why not just go for the gusto? Why not just finish what you started? Why not just proceed down that rosy path? Doesn't it smell right? Well, I guess it's shadowy and ominous to them. Yeah, it doesn't smell like roses now, does it? It smells like something else. In fact, it smells like you're up to your knees in doo-doo. If you get them drift. There's another way of saying that. You're up to your eyeballs and alligators, too. Well, the thing is that both sides are just patiently looking at each other. Now, the other side is nervously. Our side, patiently. That's something that really bothers them too. It's not like it's oh my goodness. Oh, what shall we do? What shall we do? Everybody's pretty well decided on one side exactly what's going to be done. Whereas the other side, they have to make the decision about whether or not they think they can, you know, go for the gusto and well, there won't be any ramifications. And we all know better, don't we? So. For all of our friends out there that are listening, a quick reminder again, buy all the ammo you can. 7.62x39 is Weapons Wednesday. Of course, that primary firearm that we were just hearing a moment ago in 223, it could be in 308. The ammunition availability is a mix. Right now, 308 actually is available. I won't say there's a glut, but at least it's available, whereas 223 is a mix, mostly not available item, but 762x39 is one of those things that everybody, you know, they were so busy watching everything else. The 7.62x39 category has been consumed dramatically without sufficient replacement. Today I kind of thought, hey, maybe we got a little bit of a plus here. Centerfire systems has some of the new Polish ammo out there. Not 7.62x39, it's 7.62x51 NATO. Now it's not a bad load. It's a Boxer Prime non-corrosive brass case and that's at Centerfire. But as far as 7.62x39 it's in small increments or quantities in general. There are a few lump blocks here and there. For instance, Centerfire has a 122 grain Russian for I believe it's $240 or $250 a case, 1000 rounds. Now that's not bad, still about it. Again, a quarter a round is reasonable. but there's not a whole lot of it and it's not out there like it was. AmmoMan.com has one flavor 7.62x39 actually in stock. They have some 20 round boxes where somebody broke up a couple of cases. I don't know why, it would make it look like they had more ammo but Don, most of these companies have maybe a flavor and or two flavors and that's about it. So don't be surprised. I'm not shocked or panicked by it, but I'm just reminding you guys to keep the pressure up. Let's get a clear of the rest off the shelf and make sure it's in our hands. The shelf should be full soon because we're not at war with anybody. Yeah, exactly. Well, in a way that's technically true. Of course, now the government, Uncle Samuel, has ordered 62 million rounds of 223 M855 rounds. I gotta laugh about that, guys, because... Well, like I said, with what we know about weapons sales for last year, which once again, these last sets of numbers for last year and this year have all broken all specs. We are seeing major records being broken every year, right? Well, the problem with that is, do you think that the ammunition sales aren't matching it? So while it does sound impressive that they're buying 62 million rounds for the secret police, I mean, to a degree, that's not really that many rounds. You figure out how many people are out there that are going to be taking them back off the black uniform knuckle draggers and using it on them. Again, how much have we purchased in reverse order? How much have we put into the inventory? There are many, many examples of just how voluminous that situation is that can be found out there from talking to different parts of the industry. Fiscal ammunition, rifle ammunition, shotgun shell ammunition. The numbers are just phenomenal. And put to shame that 62 million mark that everybody's like, oh my god, they're going to buy more ammo. Well, but of course they're going to buy more ammo. Go ahead, color. Did you just have a whole bunch of big Jews have their own ammunition factories or something that no one else should get to except them? Well, actually they do run many of the ammunition, or munitions plants that are overseas. You've got to remember that a lot of the factories that are from the western side of the production line, you know, the old western, like Western Europe, etc., are actually US military arsenals that were shipped overseas. By the end of World War II we had about 27 arsenals that were cranking out, both existing like Remington and Winchester, which were already in place, and a number of other set government arsenals that were cranking out under their own headstamp millions of rounds. Probably the best example is the Greek 30-06 here that came into the country. Oh, the DCM bought it. the civilian marksmanship program bought it to supply ammo for the M1 Garands. And everybody said, man, this ammo looks just like it was built on US machinery. I mean look at the de-clips and the brass and the bullets and even the way they canned it. Well, the fact of the matter is that that is exactly what happened. At the end of World War II, progressively into the 50s, one complete arsenal was delivered to the Greeks. Basically, they already had manufacturing of their own too. but one of the complete arsenal packages went there and they were cranking out the standard calibers of the day competing against everything that we were producing but that's because it was on our machinery. Kosher Mafia has done this through side sliding constantly and has accessed a whole lot of different technology in terms of especially munitions productions. The machinery is very unique in a lot of it. A lot of the machinery itself goes back even to World War I. The stuff really doesn't wear out. That's something most people don't realize. We talked about this like spear and Hornady. They're still using bullet production machines that are actually from World War I and just a little before. And because they were built like a literally a high carbon steel doghouse, I mean just girthy as the day is long, they haven't worn out. And because they thought ahead for being able to rebuild critical components, replace critical wear components, in other words make them replaceable, the machines lend themselves to ease in rebuilding and remanufacturing so that they can be put back online very, very quickly, turned around. You know, working and wearing parts have inserts. The inserts are replaced. The basic machine doesn't change. and since its production it was already quite reasonable there's no real reason to change those out however a lot of that machinery that should have gone that type of machinery should have gone to the private sector should have been bought into the private sector was shipped overseas and that's where the problem is yeah there are a lot of it god knows where it went and who knows who stole it and almost always that's the you know the kosher mafia that got it is where the problem is yeah I remember you saying that Even though these people, these Bolshevik Jews have all the samples that are getting more and more all the time, like you were saying about a month ago or so, they can sell triple lock, they can't just, they're infantry just can't go and take you whatever the hell they want. They can sell an armory and triple lock, like you were saying, behind triple lock doors. I mean, they might have a lot of ammo, but they're gonna have a hard time accessing it, right? Right, their fear is in their paranoia which is expected because they're terrified of the idea that somebody else will acquire what they've got. The system itself is notorious for being very anal retentive. And the cool part about that is that that in and of itself demonstrates the difference between the free people, us, and how we're outfitted and equipped. and the critters on the other side and how they look at their own people. I mean, those that they barely trust. So we're in a much better situation than we don't have to sign for anything out. We're, it's already in hand. We don't have to wait for the supply truck to show up. It's already been there. It's called UPS or FedEx. And, or we went to the store, we went to the store with our pickup truck, or we went to the gun show with the pickup truck and we were our own delivery system. And that's something that they really, really, really can't let their peons on the other side think about either. It's like, you know, always they have the best weapons and they have more of everything. Well, I'm past that point even believing a part of that anymore. They certainly have dispersed stockpiles, massive stockpiles. But where it counts, we have it in hand constantly. And in our discretion, we can put whatever we want into the field. So that's something that the other side, they have to beg permission, sign off on, etc. etc. We're not in that situation in any way, shape or form. It totally changes the formula for us. And that's why truly the Minuteman process is in our camp, not theirs. That's why for any action where they come after the guns, the problem they've got is it still comes down to like a sucking and blowing process. for the supply system and for the motion, the movement to get something done. It's why this jade prostitute under age 15 exercise is to a degree so obvious because in order to get a massive formation moving, there's a lot of support technology and a lot of material support that has to be in motion. and just to initiate it. And now they can cut corners and as I pointed out, I've talked directly to people who are organizing exercises right now where they have no advance party on the ground. None of the normal components that should be there are there. And that's actually helping to make people understand the very things we're talking about here about how unique this situation is right now. It makes a big difference to have the information base be able to tell people or explain to people, hey, check this out. So, the bad guys are boxed in. It's the only way to describe it. On the other hand, you heard that action Don operated earlier. That action can do any number of different things, but it also can apply all of the night vision technology available. That's what I want Don to talk about next, because look outside, it's getting gray and dark. Well, when the time comes, we have the ability to field the exact same technology the other side has. Here's a person that knows about it, understands how it can be utilized, and has provided the resource to you for quite some time. So Don, take over, we're at the bottom of the hour here. And Night Vision Technology, you got it? Wow, can we get it? Hey, my phone number is 2317-9658. Again, 2317-9658. We can talk about goggles or gun sights. We can talk about green screens or thermal. But you gotta dial 231-796-8458. If you go over to the website, hey it's a lot easier to get there now. How about 3w.ydyd? You're right there. It's a lot shorter than the other one and it only cost me $3.95 for a year so hey, it was worth it wasn't it? YD, you know, three W's in front of it. YDTOE, that's Yankee Doodle Technical Optical Equipment, but when you punch it in for that, I'm gonna go there. YDTOE.US. We'll get you over to the website. When you get to the website, you can look at a number of devices, you know, green screen and thermal, binoculars, binoculars, gun sites, and any variants, again, green screen and thermal. One of the first gun sites you'll see other than the digital stuff is a second generation gun sight called the night arrow you'll see it in 2, 4 and 6 power. You guys in 2 power I can put that right in your mailbox. Oh that is 308 capable that'll live on top of your AR-10. Gun sight 2 power 308 capable mailbox you know have the not the UPS guy the guy in the white truck will bring it to you total cost of $1,155. Ridiculous United States of America Again, my phone number is 231-796-8458. If you look around and go searching around on the internet and look here and there and turn over almost every rock, I don't think you're going to find that price. You'll find it in one place and there's a reason why it's that price is because you'll find it someplace else. Price, you're going to find that to the best of my knowledge on the internet. Hey, my number is 231-796-8458 and he advertises it on the internet for that, which the manufacturer doesn't like at all. So you might see a change in that venue. You have to go back up to the other prices. If you look on the website and you say, man, that's a lot of money. Well, as an example, there's the third generation Aries, the third generation Tube in it. I think we came to the conclusion that goes out the door. The manufacturer wants like $34 or $3600 for that, you guys. Reports, it's going to run for the next 30 days, I'd like to say in that. I would like to get that for $2850. $500 isn't it? It might even be $35.99. I can't advertise it for less than that. Well at least on the internet and you guys aren't going to go and tell anybody that I'm advertising for that, right? My number is 231796. That's a little dance. I'm learning to enjoy that Mark because well I have to do it this way over here and over here I can do it any way I want. So my phone number is 231796. If the price is on the website, kind of look a little bit, well, I thought Don was selling it cheaper than that. This report, Don is selling it cheaper than that. My phone number is 231-796-8458. I've given you a price on a second generation gun site and a third. Again, my number is 231-796-8458. Good. Why are you dealing with a stranger? We have Don Betcher available to deal with. Night vision technology and the resources available. Don, right now looking at the second gen, we are of course, well just as quick to actually recommend the weapons site as anything else for even observation as a monocular, correct? Oh, the company has moved up and I've praised that. Oh, I don't remember what they called it now, the night spirit. a second generation viewer and I've said for a couple of years now you guys that's been a very uniform piece. It's their second entry level in second generation and I think because of that they've made a point of being very uniform with it and very good for a very good deal for the money. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut because they raised the price on it. Granted they've altered the body a little bit but they still call. To me I'd have to go back to my paperwork to nail it right down for a thousand dollars and you guys I pay more than that for it now. Apparently that's how good a seller it is. It is so close and we mentioned this a week or two ago. There's a thermal viewer out there that it can be adapted as a weaponsite as long as you've already got a weaponsite. And it can be mounted to your headgear or handheld. Well, a whole bunch of things can be mounted to your handgear or handheld. It was right there in the same price. as my entry level thermal gun site. That is really a gun site, not adapted to, and you know, you don't have to put it on a gun to use it as a viewer. So we didn't even put that device on the website. Don't forget, you know, putting the trash is really, little reports on your site on his page that shows all the different scopes, and he goes right to your site. Thank you. Henry did a really good job at that. Cool, I'll have to thank him again. Yep. But you guys, the website is building. You might, if you go over to, on occasion you'll see changes there. You'll see, I've got a Facebook site now too. And that is, my computer guy says, oh that'll help direct people over to the website. So if you guys have never spelled my last name, just do the Facebook thing for Donald, that's your, that's Bravo, Oscar, Echo, Tango. want. For all of our friends out there, the night vision technology is part of the golf bag. Guys, you're going to need something. And you're going to start looking at saving up the shekels, the simoleons, the clams, whatever, in order to get into the game. And it's more expensive than it was before, simply by the nature of how they've committed to change the technology. We didn't have anything to do with making that happen. We did warn a lot of people in advance that were for Don telling you nobody that had a clue. be quite honest, let's think about that. So, you were given a heads up, everybody had a chance to find out what was really going on, and a lot of people acted accordingly. You guys have that first generation green screen technology in your hands right now because of that. So we really can't complain, can we guys? You got it cheaper than anybody else. I smile when I, we're not supposed to be proud, that's scriptural, but I smile when I say that. You guys got it cheaper from us than you did from anybody else. and got it in, you know, you got it complete, ready and squared away to run with as is. That's a big plus. Another thing here real quick is a reminder that we do of course look at more expensive third gen available. There's stuff that's going to be a little more costly. It is out there, but if you have any, if you are looking for that technology and you do have the pockets to make that happen, then once again I would highly recommend you talk to Don before you spend your money because you might be rather surprised that you end up with an end result and happily so let's keep that in mind too. Well I would caution in the third generation department we've done this before you guys I don't mind talking about night vision but the guy you get on the 800 number he might When you hear you say you're interested in third generation, oh I got a third generation piece for this guy. Now third generation comes in tiers also and it's divided up by lines per millimeter basically. It's also divided up by quality of the tube. Did you know that there's higher quality tubes than mil-spec? You'd think mil-spec is the best. We've got to give it to our boys. Well mil-spec is a particular standard meant to keep things performing within certain parameters. there's higher quality than milspec. In night vision, the parameters for milspec, it had to not have any visible flaws over a particular size, like looking at a grain of six inches from your eyes, about that size within 15 degrees, seven and a half degrees either way of center. That was expanded to like, it might be 25, it might be 30 degrees makes milspec now. that doesn't mean that you could have a big old blob over there in the corner. It could still be mil-spec, but mil-spec mostly looks to the quality of the center of the screen, not the overall quality. You know, there's what is called a custom grade tube. Photographers look to that tube. If you want to take pictures at night, because there's less visible flaws in that tube. So again, there are different grades of tubes. but there are also different lines per millimeter. You know, you can go back in the inventory and find a third generation tube that is 45 to 52 lines per millimeter. You guys, we can get second generation tubes that are 45 to 52 lines per millimeter. That was the cutoff when they added a different coating to the front of the tube the lifetime greatly, plus it also let more light in. Oh, let's call this third generation. That's basically what happened, the difference between second and third generation. While different portions of the technology continued to develop, actually all they did was stretch the glass thinner and thinner in the micro channel plate. We've talked to you before about how that's built. You take a hunk of glass and you heat it until you stretch it out like it's a hair. And you chop it. And you lay it in parallel to itself. and you heat it and you stretch it out more and you chop it right in the middle and you lay it next to it and over and over until you get such fine pieces stacked so thick that well you've got 45 to 52 lines per millimeter of that stretched piece of glass. That's how the micro channel plate is built. By the time they got that out to about 45 to 52 lines per millimeter that was what they were calling at that time super second or second generation plus. And then some whiz-bang in a laboratory said, hey, let's put this on here, a coating on the front of the tube to protect it from particular portions of light and let, believe it or not, the good light in even more. I don't know how they do that. Don't ask me. It was a scientist that came up with that. More gooder light. Yeah. And when they did that, again, it increased the tube of the light at that time four times. from 2,500 to almost 10,000 hours. Now that's substantial, but it also let more light in. Better performance, that's your third generation. After that they started calling it third generation. But it was still at 45 to 52 lines per millimeter. Some scientist said, let's see how we can make this better. Let's stretch those pieces of glass even thinner. And then you got from 56 to 64 lines per in men. Wow, the picture is getting even that much finer. When you go from 45 to 50 at the bottom, when you go from 45 to the bottom of the next step up to 62 lines per millimeter, you guys, 45, 12, 24, 48, that's a 25% improvement in lines per millimeter right there. That is visible increase in the font. You can see it with the naked eye. imagine the change from 45 lines per millimeter up to the top of third generation right now, which is like 64 to 72 lines per millimeter. Now I remind you, when the first Russian tubes started coming in here first generation, the oldest Russian first generation, you guys, it was coming in at 12 lines per millimeter. You were hard pressed to read a billboard, to read the big, big print on a billboard. You know, those big ad signs along the side of the expressway, 12 lines per millimeter average citizen available. You know, you can go out and buy a high-end third generation tube now. You're going to pay considerably more for a 72 line per millimeter than you will for a 45 to 52 line per millimeter third generation tube. And the reason we got into this discussion, this portion of this was there are people out there that will be happy to sell you a 45 line per at a 72 line per price. So if you're looking for third generation, make sure you nail that. I don't care if you buy from me or not on this issue. What I care about is that you don't get cheated. So if you're talking to somebody out there about third generation and they tell you, I don't know what the lines per millimeter are, but it's top of the line. then they really don't know what they're talking about or they're trying to, here comes an old cliché, pull a wool over your eyes, it cliches every now and then, you know that. But you guys, in that arena, in the third generation arena, you need, if you're talking to somebody about a viewer, a gun site, binoculars or whatnot in third generation, you need to be real specific about lines per millimeter because there are great strides from the entry level up to the top in third generation. We'll quit this portion of this hour. Hey, my phone number is 231-796-8458. And you know, if you buy a third generation tube from me, I'll give you the pedigree on that tube. You should be able to, in many devices, look into the device and see the lens and see the etched number of the night vision intensifier, the image intensifier tube. You will on a piece of paper have that same number and the number to I.T.T. or Raytheon, the supplier of the tube and they can verify, so to speak, the pedigree of that tube. I do that for you. I bragged about, we're not supposed to brag, but I've offered that to you for a long time. Two, three, one, seven, nine, six, eight, four, five, eight. Again, while you're dealing with a stranger, we've got the opportunity to deal with a person who has been tracking and developing a complete understanding of the technology step by step so that you don't have to guess. That's why I need to talk to Don. Another thing here real quick on the matter of AR15s versus AKs. Two points that I've repeated many times. Longer barrel is always better. Always remember that. In both cases you can get heavy barrel, intermediate or light barrel systems. in both the AK and in the AR-15. Now in the AR-15 you can go to match grade, competition slash heavy sniper squad gun type barrels, there's a number of different options. Do numerous even mention now. But length is still critical. I know a lot of people have been pushed towards the M4 slash the CAR-15 system, but guys That 3, 4, or 5 inches of barrel makes all the difference in the world with regard to stretching that round out and getting more accuracy out of the weapon system in general. I know they've tried to gun down everybody, but you're still going to find that contrary to the propaganda pictures, a whole lot of men, a whole lot of weapons, first of all, still in the inventory are M16A2s, the lion's share. The propaganda images, especially for troops overseas, are supposed to promote or push a particular agenda to make you believe that the world has changed. Number one, with the AR-15, I would point out that if the M4 is really a big change, or not a single part, obviously, it should exchange or change over other than maybe the magazine because supposedly they've altered the weapon so significantly, that it's totally different from the M16 family rifle. Well, after having said that, we all know that there isn't a part on the M4 that doesn't switch out on the M16A2 or vice versa. Put a longer barrel on it and you got the... Yeah. In other words, everything... In other words, there's been no change over the nomenclature for the sake of trying to break the line, so to speak. The rifle itself, functional either way, but again, greater range. We're not looking for spraying and praying. And the other thing that gets me about this is that if you'll look, Iraq especially, but Afghanistan was worse. Why would you want a shorter rifle in a situation, in a reduced range rifle, in a situation where you could already see farther than you can shoot? Anybody think that through? It's like, well, we're going to take the M4 into Afghanistan. Really? Oh, that's kind of fascinating. I mean, why? Can you give me an M16A2 off the rack? Well, no, you can have a Stewart. I'm so bad at work if you're in Jehalabad or Kabul. Yeah, in the downtown wall, or door busting and in houses. Not bad there. Way down the road you start to look at your gun and think I should have brought something bigger. Yeah, something longer, something. And again, because it doesn't mean it can't really, you can't get that bussy golf ball in there. And yes, it's still an accurate arm. but there are limits simply because of the physical potential available. Now the AK, and all of you guys are using standard AKs, and there's virtually millions of them in this country, American made now too, by the way, even by an all-American AK, from the smallest screw and pin to the largest component. 100% American now. But, as I've said, and especially this was true when they were being brought into the country, The long barrel model is preferred. Now remember that the long barrel model typically made for any of the countries in the eastern bloc was a squad gun. Not a dragon off, I mean not a sniper rifle, but it was known as a squad gun. Now because of this many of them have an intermediate barrel. Why? Well they really don't want the weapon to be as tight, although it's certainly tight enough and accurate enough. But they were looking at, again, a suppression fire weapon. However, there were a lot of weapons that were built specifically or intentionally heavier in several design features, depending on which of the Warsaw Pact countries, because they wanted a longer barrel life. Since the RPK type weapons, which typically are nothing but an AK-47 with a long barrel, that's the squad gun in the 10-man fire team. Well, because of that, There are variations in just how heavy the barrels are and no matter how we look at it there is more energy behind the bullet and there is again a tightening up of the group's greater range with longer barrel especially if it's used in a free-floating condition rather than with the RPK type bipod. Now that doesn't mean that bipod doesn't work but do a little research on how bipods affect the weapon when the bipod is attached to the barrel. as opposed to, as you may have noticed, a lot of independent sniper systems that are manual guns where the bipod is attached or affixed to the stock so that it doesn't interact with the barrel. Now, no matter how we look at it, we're still looking at a longer barrel, greater energy with the 7.62x39 rounds which presses it to its maximum range with greater efficiency. But as a free carrier barrel, as a free-floating barrel, not making contact with anything so that those two points of contact, the bipod, influence a particular point and put stress on the barrel in a particular way, that changes the point of impact. Either way, you're still getting greater range, you're still seeing greater energy on target, and that's what we want under all circumstances. So, as I said before, the long-barreled RPKs would have been your first choice back when they were coming in in good numbers. The Chinese rifles, when they came in, the long-barreled rifle was the same price, or $10 more, for an RPK gun, but without the bipod. Typically brought in as a quote-unquote, sported rifle. Well, in reality, the way they configured them with both the stocks, And with the girth of the barrel, they became really nice little baby dragon off packages. Another thing, they've done nothing but gone up in value. Why? Well, because there were fewer of them that came into the country when they were coming into the country. And they command a little better price now, as I told you, would take place earlier, you know, years ago. But the biggest advantage is performance. And in both cases, if you had the rifles on the rack and you had to reach four and you had so many AR-15s and you've got your whole golf club collection of AR-15s, the longer barrel would be the first choice for me going out the door. If you had a lack of AKs, it'd still be the same thing. But Mark, there's that cute little krinkoven that's so short and crunchy and oh, it looks so neat and it's like yeah, yeah, yeah, right. For a squad, maybe a company commander or somebody who's not going to contribute a whole lot to the fighting, then a little tiny squirt gun like that would be fine. But for somebody who is going to be truly taking developed expertise, and apply it so that we can, you know, you trip the enemy with reckless abandon. I'm going to be taking the weapon with the, you know, again, greatest reaching power, which still has, by the way, the exact same volume and firepower. I mean, the Krinkov is nothing more than a whack the barrel, whack the stock, put a folding stock on it, and it's a tiny toy that, you know, it's neat, it was built for, oh, that's right, armored crewmen because they needed a gun that could stick in the firing stations. It wasn't built to be an open field gun. It was designed to be a gun jumping out of an APC where you had to grab something maybe to defend yourself. Also became very popular with tread heads because it wasn't very big and for tankers it gave them some firepower. You know, in a regular, you know, in an AK package it took up less space inside a vehicle. So it was a little more manageable, kind of like for that, you know, urban warfare thing where you could get it in and out of the vehicle, actually use it, and it would give you firepower to get you out of something. Wouldn't be all that accurate at great, great range, but chances are if your tank's knocked out or your vehicle's knocked out, the infantry are really close because they're really, really wanting to get revenge on you because they didn't like you in the first place as a threat yet. So, yeah, so an open rack there, I don't care, bottom line I'd still be taking the biggest, heaviest I could get, but if it was a rack of ARs, longest barrel first. If it was a rack of AKs, I'd grab the longest barrel first. I know that people would be completely avoid the gun. I guarantee if you had 20 people. Man, I don't want to carry that, that weighs more. Yeah, or conditioning because of Hollywood. I gotta have the cool looking gun. Well, that long barrel, it looks pretty cool. Oh no, it doesn't look stylish. Or that longer barrel there. That's not the bow gun. And it's like, really? OK, cool. Well, you see, the thing is, I've actually developed skill originating with that size of weapon, that type of performance available from a weapon of that kind or make. So I'm completely familiar with its potential. And that's really how we should be looking at it. If at all possible, get that heaviest, that, and even though this is not a heavy weapon, both these rifles, the AK and the AR, are light rifles, guys. Don't make any mistake about that. I'm not saying that you'd be like, well, if I had an M1A or an HK91 or an FAL sitting there, I'd probably grab that. My personal choice would be that for a reason, because some of the other people have grown up with or built their skill around the AR-15, they'd probably grab that first time every time. For me, since I already have experience with that weapon and there's a lot of other people that probably wouldn't grab it, that's why I'd pick it up. I do have the expertise, I do have the background in it. For me, I'm completely familiar with the weapons nuances. There are other younger people that haven't developed that skill. They are familiar with a particular platform. I would prioritize putting those weapons into their hands. I'd like to say, well, we'll give everybody a big, you know, super sniper rifle and 300-wood mag, and well, not everybody's developed that skill. And not everybody's necessarily comfortable with that idea. So at this point in time, what you're trying to do is, you know, find the expertise level of the people you have, and that's where you tailor moving the weapons towards those people that may be able to make it, you know, make that weapon sing, make it perform. That's another thing we don't think about. It's like, well, we're all going to have one gun. Well, even the military did that for cost efficiency with regard to the bean counters, guys. You know, at one point we had a combined arms team for a reason. And as I've said, people gravitated towards the gun that made sense for their psyche. Which is it sounds weird, but it's a fact I know guys that were World War two vets. They're still you know alive today Of course, they're long on the tooth now But they tried every weapon that was in the inventory and went full circle right back to what they started with a top Started with a Thompson tried everything else carried a one gun at one time or another and then by the end of the world went all the way back to our Thompson Now, that was a medic, and because the idea was, as a medic, if the Japanese were coming at you with a bayonet, it was nice to have something where you went blop, and they just went plop. They folded up. Yeah, there you go. He's not going to bayonet my wounded men, okay? Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh. And by the way, the 45-19-11, bop-bop-bop-bop. There you go. So, again, we're going to be around here. It's especially critical guys to understand. I talk about weapons in particular ways. I have no display for any of the weapons any of you are carrying, unless they're Israeli weapons. Oh, wait a minute, no. We'll even grab the Israeli weapons to use. Who would go to such extravagant lengths to design a gas-operated pistol? Because you can! Not because you need to. Right. Anyway, we are at the top of the hour.
