Where are your biggest glasses? Yeah, where are your best eye protection? I bet. Yup. Combat goggles, glasses, there's a number of different solutions all over the world there. The other thing about silencing technology, going from what our first caller was talking about, again you can buy a commercial off the shelf. The big, big shift was going from micro thread fixture, air hose fixture systems, guys. I know the man who invented that, who came up with it. And it was funny or it held because everybody was so logical it made stupid sense and the first time he did it nobody could figure out what he was doing. How'd you do that? And then after he demonstrated it, well, you're... Why didn't I think of that? Yeah, Uncle Samuel picked that up so quick it'd make your head swim. But Uncle Samuel did not invent it. It was a private independent shooter who was looking to make a market and he pushed that. He wasn't pushing that in the government. He was trying to sell it to the general population. Before you all know about the plum crazy Polymer AR-15s, he built an all-polymer system, or actually let's put it this way, his other friend built an all-polymer AR-15, top and bottom receiver. We have never seen these since, but in addition to that, he also put the quick release silencer system on the gun. It was obviously, the whole thing was a contract weapon. top of that they built an Air 15 type flash hider with the same kind of quick release as an air hose system that went right on the same gun. Now when they sold this gun commercially, because first it was under military slash CIA contract, and he built a bunch of those guns, and they sold quite well to government. Well, because of the design, there ain't no options. He went with us and we built a semi-auto model. He marketed it and about 1,500 of the guns got out before the government said, whoa, get that! Because his first guns came out with that quick-release air fixture on the weapon, machined into the barrel the whole nine yards. And of course, oh, we had to stop that from happening. So the next wave of his guns that came out, they welded the flasher onto the gun. Otherwise, in other words, the flash hider is still the standard Air 15 flash hider. You can unscrew it from the fixture, screw it back on. So you can always change that flash hider out. A quick release meant that you could go from the flash hider to a silencer in the time it takes you to go wax on, wax off. It's that simple. Well, there's some really cool ideas that have come out with over the years. Think about this. From a contractor, how about... The same idea with Dollar Tree slash China Sport from Tractor, Supplier, Harbor Freight. You can get tons of different quick air release fixtures, guys. Think about one of those addicted to whatever fire and lock on, and then you work out the rest of your unique tools using the mail component. You can get dozens of at a time so that you can afford to get the shelf. The biggest thing about prototyping is that it usually costs you an arm and leg because you have to build a lot of specialized stuff. But what if you're smart and you take off-the-shelf technology from the get-go? Then what happens to your prototyping cost? Go for way down. Oh, totally free because you've got to pay for it. But you know the thing is, if something breaks, you don't cry. You just get it done again. You do it again. The top here, done, you get it. If you have to take off, run, Mark.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. 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 buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number 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 see family farm and keep our country deep. 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... 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? Most 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, freedom bright as Iowoc, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to 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, Dil the Land of the F... Behind the lines in occupied territories, West, Socialist and Soviet Socialist, Occupation of America with a K, 2000, and Music Requests, I got the, by the way, another request for the name of that song, actually, Stand Up and Fight! I'll repeat it again a couple times, I'll do it again tomorrow if I can twice, you might have to jog my memory to be safe, but, uh, Teresa's... You remember that one? Okay. Stand Up and Fight! Teresa's... for a long time, actually. I don't know whether the guys are doing, I believe I saw a revival piece where they did a tour more than a few years ago, you know, a revival tour from their 80s tours, all in communications with each other. Interestingly enough, it's like Metallica, Pro Pit, they did so much. I think again, they ran across the country with command. Okay. Taurisis, very popular when it came out. Most of all of their albums, they're known by pretty much anybody who's in metal or into, again, combat rock is another term you might hear. That used to be a term. In fact, just reverse, I'd say, still out there in force. Danipin Fight is the name of the song and Taurisis, or Taurisis. to rassass, take your pick. T-U-R-I-S-A-S. Okay, stand up and fight. And you will find it there if you listed. A lot of other music listed for the band. That's not the only song they've done, but... Actually, pretty dynamic, pretty cool. And another request that came in... Let's see if I can do it here real quick. And for everybody out there... Well, hold on, hold on. Actually, we did that recently. I know I've got different stack ups here as far as guys for requests. Somebody asked me to do records from the middle 70's, actually a very popular song, Jefferson Starship, right? More on the airy artsy kind of thing. It's cool, I mean I have no problem with the band and have no problem with the song, but I'll tell you what we're going to do instead after the hour, we'll get two of them in here for the request block and Alstom to it. This is the album that really gave strength. You're the Cat version here, this is the long, mostly what you would hear by the what, third, fourth, of it being in the top listings is the three minute and what four second or three minute and sixteen second version. This is the full instrumental piece so I'm going to shut up I'm going to play it and then get back to work here. Here we go, Little Ear Candy for our friends, You're the Cat on the Borders on this album too by the way. It was on the flip side on some of the 45's that went to the radio stations. If you got one of those that's a collector's item now. You're the Cat on one side and on the border on the other released and for the stations only. Modus is probably printed that way. Makes it a very valuable, 45, they did very few of those. In the morning, it's from 75 and what was happening? Down from the Vietnam War, as you know. A lot of interesting sound came out of that period of time, from 1972 to 1977. The 71 to 73 window, as I've said many times, the year of, the older the years of unique destruction, Most everything built during that time is on the no-play list. You're not supposed to hear it. You won't hear it in the control media. You're not going to hear it on radio anywhere. And my personal belief is that it has to do with, again, the social engineering of both sound and how music is used in the control media to begin with. So just a little heads up. That's again, Al Stewart, You're the Cat. Liberty Tree Radio. Go ahead. I was just saying, I think I still got that album. Oh yeah, I've got two copies of it. I have, and in fact, again, remember, that's the extended play, that's the actual piece of way that we made it to the top of the charts. Then of course you get the four minute version, then you get the three minute version, you know, they could throw it in there. So that's typically what happens with long play, especially since not much is long play. Most everything nowadays is popcorn, you know, three minute engineered for the industry. That's just something to think about there. If you look at the time block, that's what they spec out. Now, when you go to the albums, especially the studio albums, you hear a very different sound. But you can also figure out exactly where they took it back to the shop, engineered it, and made it that three minute version that you heard so often once had been popular. Another one I'm going to play here before we lose the, well, of course we're at the bottom of the hour here. Hold on, let's do it this way. Everybody should remember this one. We'll see if, uh, yeah. I think I can get it in here in time. Go ahead and call her or anything else. Jump in there, please. I just want to say, like, Grand Funk Railroad, uh, during that period, uh, because they were so controversial, and they were out about 4th Michigan, all you ever hear is, uh, We're American Band, shining on. I don't know other political stuff they did. In fact, there's still, you know, a lot of stuff that both they've done, and several other, as you pointed out, they're Michigan man's. There's stuff that they did. E-Port Bispon. Remember the album? E-Port Bispon. You know, the one with the coin? Guys, I saw something the other day. You know what? I didn't realize what I was looking at. There is another, and I saw it, and now for whatever reason I'm going to brain fart. It is an octagon-shaped record sleeve. Now guys, if you see anything, I don't care what it is. Number one, the bands that did that were upper-end bands that had a lot of resource because they were on the charts. If you see anything like that, grab it. Not one of those albums. There's not one of them that isn't collectible, number one. And I looked at that and for life, I know where it is, I'm going to have to wait until they have a yard sale here in July again. But it was, and they said, yeah, we're going to have them at the barn sale in July. They'll have that album sitting there. That's the first thing I'm going back to grab because they had a dollar on it. Come on, what was the name of the band? Anyway, you know, Grand Funk was a funk, Grand Funk, let's make sure we get that right, go like that. I said funk, F-U-N-K. Grand Funk was one of several that did unique work like that, but they also did a lot of political stuff. Every band from that window of time pretty much did about 50-60% of it was political statement. Using it at the time because they were stirring the pot, but as soon as they got done stirring the pot, the controlled media was told shut it off. In fact, let me ask everybody, what was the big wave after Message Rock? What was the big wave of music that came in guys? And because of this wave of music, there was a whole bunch of other music that was done talking about it. What was the big wave guys? Let's go! And just the opposite of everything that had been going on for the last 10 years. Mark. You think about that. Well again, the engineering of music and the political construction of music and how it works. Go ahead, call her, jump in there, what do we have? Yeah, George in Texas. The only last political song I remember back in that era was the Who, We Don't Get Fooled Again. The song still gets played, okay? Not so much, I think, right now, if you'll notice, they've ratcheted that off. That was being played a little bit here, like a little more, you could drive everywhere and hear it again for a bit. Even there it was almost tongue-in-cheek because they were trying to play the bummer card, okay? But there's a lot of other pieces. Oh hell the you know hey dad panicking panicking Detroit by David Bowie one of the reasons why you won't hear that on radio stations You won't be fooled again is one of the CSI or crime shows picked it up and copyrighted it as their Yeah, they paid for it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I know Oh, that was, yeah, CSI New York, wasn't it? I think CSI New York isn't one of the took that. I never felt that that fit. I didn't feel the song was, you know, right for the, as an intro for that kind of subject, but you know, they made the... Mark, was that that that octagon-shaped album cover, that wasn't the Rolling Stones, was it? You know what, it might have been, but I looked right at it. You know what I can picture? It was sitting right on the side. In fact, it was on an old stereo cabinet. The guys had it right next to the wall of the barn. The thing is, it was out in the sun. So the first thing I did was I picked it up and I put it around inside the building on another piece of furniture because I didn't want to see it boiled and rolled. You know, it was his vinyl album. So I know it's safe, and I know where it is, and they were closing up shop and we stopped in, they were going to be open a few more hours, and I know it will be there, and I will have that in my hand and I'll bring it up on the air. Only because if it has a unique body like that, grab it, they're all collectible. The Japanese grabbed all this stuff years ago, so what few you're going to see now are private collections. Go ahead. Yeah, that was... Again, you're chugging. It's just, uh, my brain is in, you know, not in Brain Fart, but it's just I'm locked out on this for a reason. There's a bunch of other stuff there I grabbed. very unique optics and we picked up some other equipment as a particular sale. But I'm going to go back, I'll pick it up, I'll grab it and snag it for you. It could be any number, once the industry makes them guys, you know somebody else will pick up on the design because they could offer it. First somebody has to foot the bill to make it. Once the pattern's there, then they'll shovel it out to others. The E-Purpose Funk album, there's maybe a As far as that pattern, the circular design fits right on the record. I think maybe Jefferson Starship did something, one album like that. And there's one or two other, I believe, on War, I think did one too. See, that same window. Something like that is reproduced in a number of different ways. Anyway, I don't want to... I'm not fond of that. That's technology and it's... Well, of course it is cool. It's worth talking about. I got a box right around the corner, my track player is sitting right around my original, I have it now. My first 8 track player is sitting within 5 feet of where I am right now. Montgomery wards, 8 track player and turntable. I'll tell you what that turntable was kicked but. Anyway, it's a white... Yeah, oh well, oh yeah, I'll just like cassette tapes. Well, this looks kind of funky, the label doesn't look right. Yeah, shh. You still got any real tapes? In fact, I got some jazz stuff I haven't even gone through completely yet. Captured it the other day about two weeks ago. And I'll tell you what, let me give you a little story here on technology. Doc Robbins, the issues of the IRS, the whole fallacy of it. I've actually got to get hold of his daughter because we'd like to reprint the book. We're working on that right now. It's one of those several projects that until we get hold of her, we aren't going to go any farther. because I want to make sure she approves it, and I know she will, she'll be happy. It's a monument to her father. He played when he was going to college. He played on the Mississippi River. Guys, why you don't let stuff that's reel to reel just slide by? When he played, he copied, he recorded everything he did with, you know, everybody you can imagine, it was a name back in the 30s and 40s of him playing with Louis Armstrong on the river boats, the surges in river boats. and that's how you made your college money getting ready for the next year. That's why I always watch. I've got some collections. I still have them tracked down the author as far as who I'm listening to. Remember, if they had the money to do reel to reel, there's a reason they spent that kind of money. Hey, Mark. Who you're going to run into there in music, guys. That's worth money onto itself. You buy a lot of 8Ks and a lot of 8K mags if you got the right thing in hand. You know what I mean? Keep that in mind. Go ahead, caller. See you again. I think that sounds more accurate. That sounds like what I was looking at right there. I just, like I said, I only got to say this, man, there's a record, that's gonna get screwed. And I was busy thinking, I was looking at the other stuff and then I realized, what did I just do? After we left and I was sitting at home here working on one of the trucks, I was wrenching on one of the campers. And I was realizing, it's like, what the hell? Yeah, and it had a 3D picture on it. It's gonna get picked up and I just wanted to make sure I had space for it. There's things I like, most people don't, only because I kinda know the background. space age from every word that the air combination with the M&FM and it's in that space age white with the stylized sweeping base that comes up from a narrow base and fans out and I've got the speaker. There were only two back then but it does accommodate another four if needed. So anyway that's going to be the centerpiece of my antique but I'm working on it. Like I said it's only a few feet away from me right now I just had to clean it back up. Before we go any farther let's do this. I want to put another piece of air candy out there We used to get them to play this on W Night, didn't know he wasn't supposed to play. Call in this song, we'd also do it on WIQB the same way at the same time. We'd call in one, then we'd call in the other. Say, guys, check out, listen in real quick. Tune into WIQB. Turn into WR. They'd hear this tune. So here we go. Let's get this plugged in. By the way, this is Bruce Cott. We appreciate it. Don't worry, we'll get more. quick here again, Palmetto State Army, I didn't mention this, I don't think enough for anybody was asking again. I had a couple emails where people were kind of pissed about, well why is it they had it? So I'm gonna say again, don't get upset with the people at the other end. They actually put a bunch of kids, I'm sure, like I said, they're throwing them on the shelf, they're doing what they can. You only got so many hours in the day, guys. The situation, everybody has kind of redoubled the ordering. I talked to one of the guys today, he said, and who did was pissed off even more by listening. like it was an earth shattering event. It's more like people were waiting for somebody to do something and everybody's hoping. It's like, well maybe the system will buy us some more time. We can sit on our dead arse and do nothing. And then people who are selling the firearms right now, guys, are hearing it. And the people that are coming in, in many cases, are people who have never owned a firearm in their life now. They're just like, oh, the writing's on the wall. And now the big thing is, like I've told you, Don't just dissuade anybody from buying a weapon. I don't care who the hell they are. But here's the thing. Register the person and ID their, shall we say, tenacity slash their stick-to-it-iveness and if they're, you know, wimpy, wimpy, wimpy, wimpy, wimpy, remember to just remind them, well, you know if anything happens, you just, you know, let me know and I'll give you something for the thing or for the gun and get it out of your hands. But, you know, otherwise, I'm sure you're going to stand, you're going to hold your ground, you're going to stay focused, and you're going to do the right thing. Now, you're hoping you'll get everybody on the track to do this, but you're going to have a percentage of people, no matter what they're going to be, you know, green weenies, their spine's going to flummox up their arse, and they're going to pee their pants, and they'll be dribbling all over themselves. And, well, you know, again, you're not taking any hit. The idea is that now is the time to explain to them, no, I'll take it off your hands. The government's going to give you nothing for it. Here I'll give you $40-$50. Congratulations. Especially if they aren't going to stay focused to begin with. If you want to give them a little bit more or you're going to do whatever you can do or whatever they ask, if you've got to deal with it, it's a liberty arm. It's often now on a tangent headed away from the original event horizon where it was purchased and it's going to disappear deeper and deeper into the system to the point where eventually it's gone. There will be no way to figure out where or when. We'll go from person to person to person to person to person. Goes into battle, we don't care, not gonna make any difference anyway. The big thing here again is, with all the people that are getting motivated, try to give them a step by step how to do this. This is the most common mistake made is like, well just go get something. It's like, well you inspired the person. Now you need to be prepared with simple answers that are easy to follow through on. You don't need any big complicated, you know, mechanism. It's just, you know, I tried to do this wherever possible, kiss. It's just as a military operator, having to deal with military operations, you have to simplify for the sake of all and for understanding purposes. Everybody's on the same page. Everybody cannot make any mistake about what it is, what's our goal, where are we headed, what are we doing, why are we doing it? Okay, so with everybody motivated like this, I had a conversation with One of the FFL dealers here was at the last couple days and They was getting frustrated from his end because people are asking what you know either was they're asking stupid questions I said well remember there are new people. There's no stupid do it They're just not knowledgeable have people that you can point them towards so that you can change that all of these guys need to be prepared They're all pissed they all know that they're on the hit list if they if they push this garbage through God It doesn't mean everyone's even if you got rid of your FFL you'll be arrested. You will be arrested. The police state's going to play their game. We all know this, okay? If you're a gun owner and in the earliest phases they're going to try to grab gun or anybody that's flagged as a gun owner while they're doing something else to you, they're going to try to hurt you. They're going to try to do things to terrorize you. So before that happens, be ready to fight. Make sure you don't get caught flat-footed and if you have to fight, fight to win. Well, make sure you bring up enough people online so that you got other bodies standing there and you're gonna have to make it happen. Not just me, you're gonna have to make it happen. All you guys listening. Caller, who do we have? Mark, George and Tex, you know, they're sitting there, you know, they throw that fear out. They're going to go house to house to grab guns and say, why don't we just all go down to that one house and make sure that one, that gun, that gun's compensation squad don't go to the next house to house. Yeah, they're finished. first time. In other words, you're trying to desperately not have to face it and then, well, they're not going to get on my property. Well, what about your neighbor's property? Well, if you know what they're doing, you can see what they're up to, and you can see they did one house, and they did the next house, and now they're in the third house, and that house is next to you. You mean to say you can't figure out what's going on and that you better probably act a lot sooner than when they get to your door? See, that's the problem with this. I've heard people say, what they're doing is they're flapping, they're never going to do it. When I hear people say that, well it's not but my place, I don't care about those other guys. Well, it's a lot easier to shoot them in the arse from behind or shoot them both their crotch out or they pop them in the back of the shoulder and the head than it is to try and be fair. And remember, the idea is to get as many of them as possible. If you really want it to be that movie type, you know, Johnny Jetchock episode, guys, you better be putting them down in a cheapy form way before you have to face off with them pointing guns at you. When you see them, you can put a bullet in there, hind in from behind, or you know, you can catch them on the ground flat-footed or sitting in a car, whatever, if you're like engaging a large group, you get every one of them that are cheap and free you can before you start wailing on the ones that are and actually turn into, you know, put a bullet on you. All the freebies you can. That way you might actually, if you're smart, get to the end of it and out the other side exactly the way you planned. But you've got to have a plan. And letting the neighbor take a hit isn't going to do it. Go ahead. You know, Mark, you'll say, oh, martial law, they got U.N., they got foreign troops. And I'm like, Mark, he said, even with armed forces and even foreign troops, they can't even hold, they probably can't even hold Chicago. Oh, Chicago is going to be entertaining. On the one hand, they need the regional police headquarters squared away, but in the early phase, a lot of people, stuff will just come out of the woodwork. Those with less inhibitions to begin with are going to almost immediately set upon those they perceive to be the first threat. Now the police state figures it's going to be them against the people out there in the ghetto, but in reality, there's a whole lot of people that already understand what's going on. on and what the threat is and they're moving in the other direction. The train wreck is going to come like in places like Chicago, Los Angeles. Yeah, they've got all kinds of great pile-up stuff they can do if they're just going after one person. But the moment that everybody is hunting them and they're wearing a uniform that can't be missed, then they're going to be a primary target all day, 24-7, the next day after that, the next day after that. The next day after that, the world changes them and they realize the attrition rate is a little higher than they originally were, you know, explained to. They didn't quite understand that. And then after that it's like, well, boom, the shipwreck, you know, the train wreck takes place. That's what a lot of them right now, they're dealing with as far as engineering. This is why, like in Connecticut, you have the cops that stepped up in the state, up in New York. You know, you people are all passing this stuff. You're all going to sit back, think you're going to sit back comfortably while you expect me to go kick somebody's door in. He goes, you know, if you're going to pass stuff like this, I guarantee that you wouldn't pass it if you wrote into the law that you have to be up front kicking in the first door. Even the characters, you know, there's a bunch that are there that thought, well, it's going to be a donut munch and then I get to retire, resign, retire and leave and everything's going to be warm, fuzzy, etc. etc. Well, yeah, at one point it was supposed to, the world has changed. Again, they're expecting them now to throw themselves on their swords. Well, or die on somebody else's sword. And that's the part of too warm and fuzzy. And I would point out again, it's like the one, well, actually, hey, they're throwing kits together as quick as they can. They're going out the door as fast. They're breaking even right now. He goes to a certain point and they just can't keep up on the stuff. That's why the numbers change. So I will repeat again to a lot of you, when you're going to certain sites, you've got to remember there's only so many people in the place. Don't picture some massive factory. They don't build the stuff there, guys. They have so many skilled laborers. Would you want an idiot to put your stuff together or some guy off the street? I don't know what I'm doing. Boy, I'll do it. Or would you want somebody to actually be methodically putting the right things together, making sure everything's where it's supposed to be? and getting a steady stream of material out. That's what they're doing. It's the same with some of the other specialized manufacturers. I still haven't gotten a response back from one of our guys that does unique magazines and stuff, but I know that he's been so busy he has not been able to answer his phone. He's not been able to even get on the computer to do emails because he's just said, he goes, I can't. He goes, I have to wait till 11 o'clock, midnight, 1 o'clock. And he goes, you know, Mark, the next day is coming just as quick as the other one did. He is now feeling the pressure of this. That's why we need to be prepared with alternate manufacturing. We need to be prepared to scavenge. Guys, if a weapon is shot or damaged or even if it gets hit in the explosion, all parts get recovered. Everything goes back to the armorers. The priority, just like I told you about those grade C magazines from Apex Gun Parts. They still have them, by the way. Now those A grade C AK mags, I would take all of them apart. I would look at the bodies of the magazines and pick out the best. Then I'd pick out the best followers, the best base plates and springs, and I'd assemble as many back together without doing anything more to them initially, other than cleaning them up with a number four steel wool and or stainless steel toothbrush. uh... lubricating everything putting them all together and put together as many mags that would be ready to go right away then the difference i would look at if i had to bend something back or turn something pop something out if i have to stretch the metal to open up the dimensional bit because some got stepped on or got stippled by something uh... whatever is needs to be done then i've built the wooden mandrels you know animals for uh... opening up things so i can tap on it from one side and the wood absorbs the energy but still the metal from the other so that it gets the job done. That's the way I do it. I've done it before and the reason is that again if I don't have much money, everybody always tells me I don't have quote unquote much money. Well, look for all the cheapest solutions and understand you're going to have to make up the difference yourself. It's just that they have to work. You have to keep scavenging, salvaging, rebuilding and refurbishing whatever we can in addition to building new. All of you need to be prepared to do that. Have you picked up a firing pin extractor and injector for your AR-15. Some of you already did that in a way when you bought that second bolt carrier, but it still doesn't offer you small, easily accessible spare parts that can be carried in a number of different hidey holes on your rifle. That's why the firing pin extractor and injector, small springs, small pins, all of those take up so little space they can be made into a little cigarette roll, little cigar slash cigarette roll, and be stuck in a storage point somewhere on the weapon. and when you need them, they're with the weapon. Hello Mark. Hello. Call our jumper there. Yes, this is B.C. You know, I put a field repair kit in the hollow part of the mag full handle on my grip, on my AR. I mean, it didn't have the trigger or the hammer in it, but it had all the other springs and pins and things. So that's a wonderful place to put something. Absolutely. One of the other things about that is The pistol grip, if you're using the A1, A2 butts, remember that there are three different or four different variations, including the many, many commercial ones that actually completely come apart. There's box itself where you can store material. If you've got the standard A, the later model A1 or the original A2 standard stocks, they have, and your spare parts will slide right in there with everything else, your basic spare parts. So there's another place where you can put more stuff. Some guys even go so far as to make up a foil in the front fork on the one panel and lock them into place so that they're ready to roll. Not going to do anything to affect the part. It's not going to get that hot. This is all over the gun where you can put stuff. And even if you have one on, you can still add a few more tidbits here and there for another location to spread the weight around the gun. The 2015 is cool, but you can also do this with the SKS, your 12-gate shotguns. All kinds of, you know, remember the bolt slash place, guys, that runs the whole length of the buttstock. Whatever you can that'll fit in there and be kind of handy for the future. Just something to think about there. We talk about the future. Oh my goodness. We are at the top and he is coming up next.
