A figure walking 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 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 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 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 see and re-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 may 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, Dil the land of the free? Gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I am crunky. And I would Ed could, for the bottom of the hour at the halfway mark, rather die than be your slave. Fucker face. rather die than be your slave will will pop it in at uh... six thirty well half an hour at the half an hour mark thirty minute mark poker face dumb w w w dot pys in the band make sure we got everybody up to speed so they know what they're doing with them uh... because they are readily available if you have poker face you don't have their music well guys uh... you're behind the times as they say a little off on the curve uh... for all of our friends today's date Well, first of all, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com and you can read them talk radio.com. We're on AM and FM microstations, CV base stations and Ultra at Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies. East and west of the Mississippi along with the Bering Straits, the Marianas, the Aleutians and Guam. in general. And so the adventure continues and those are the farthest western points or eastern points. Well, we're a circular planet in theory. So, you know, globe. So, well, if we keep going west, eventually we get east. But it's west of the west coast. How's that sound? That'll work out better that way. It is, my goodness, it's the 17th of October. It's the eighth year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K. 2016, old earth calendar 2016, year of battle, year of storm. We got some work to do. That coffee first though and smell, taste, the coffee. Why are you buying anything else other than the Zena coffee if you're going to be enjoying something for a sit down and you want some really great coffee? I like the espresso, Nancy likes it, I think the Root 66. There are three to choose from at least and you can order them all. Go to zanacoffee.com. Zanacoffee.com. Why are you supporting Star Pukes? My goodness! Oh, yuck! You know what they're all about? Why are you not doing to think about them? Instead, how about we support Patriot Resources? And one of those is Zanacoffee. Zanacoffee.com. And also again, for our friends at camp emmerich this afternoon i understand that we got the mini station running so congratulations you guys keep up the good work camp emmerich and uh... i believe they'll be here to be there through the evening and so here in michigan but uh... for everybody again if you're going to be up and at a facility crank up the micro f m and put it on the air i mean as long as you know you can maintain it and do custodial work over it fantastic anyway It's Monday, the weekend, we had DefCom 3, that's what everybody said, oh the US government wants to DefCom 3. We all lived through DefCom 3 for almost all of our lives, didn't we? Maybe Russians were a little more lax, physical, you know, in the DefCom 4 maybe, and then 3, and then 2, and then 3, and then 3, and 3, and 2, and then 3, and 4, and... I don't think we ever got so laid back just to, you know, Defcon 5 and Sulsin. Oh no, yes we did. One of the Israelis attacked us on 9-11 and they told us they needed to screw us so they had told the Air Force, sit down and shut up and don't get up off your goyim butts. And they didn't. And the Air Force failed us completely on 9-11. Isn't that great? That's a, that just makes me so proud. Sniffle, they valiantly set on their hands and did nothing, sir. And Chaney told them to, and you should just be so proud. Maybe not. Okay. Well, for all of our friends out there, it is a very busy weekend that we've come out of. I would point out that also we've got a lot of things. Well, Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot was this weekend. Colonial Marine Militia National Meeting. Not a real... busy event. I mean everybody pretty well knows about the disaster with the Bushites showing their colors. There wasn't a whole lot of special work that really needed to be done. We're in maintenance level special activities such as building bug out bags, manufacturing, things of that nature. are pretty well where we expect them to be. The only thing that was an issue was perhaps administrative organization for another Marine division, Colonial Marine Division. The Colonial Marine militia units that are organized, we do have divisional commands based upon manpower. They have a massive influx. They're so busy with getting the basics done. There has been no real super special project of any kind that's really been on the horizon, trying to get the light armor and mechanized up and online to the best of our ability. squaring away the equipment we have so it's up to snuff where it needs to be and armoring up whatever we can also upgrades and munitions etcetera as far as we can get on the shelf as quick as we can that's something that's being done everywhere so it's the basics uh... the only thing that had to be done was a membership approval of the uh... divisional command be creating a divisional command which is a minimal manpower situation and again is designed to enhance coordination between the brigades regimental combat teams the battalions the companies etcetera so that's another issue investment dealt with now so that we can lose normal when you really was anything or anything jumped out everybody knows where it's headed nobody's panicked i think that's a that's a uh... a good testimony to uh... experience and discipline in the way the attitude people have nobody is panicked everybody just tired of their bs The most common comment made during the minutes of the, that I've seen, the minutes of the Colonial Marine meeting, it's on the CMM website on the pin side. And if you've got your pin number, go in there, touch in with the minutes are on the page if you're a CMM, Colonial Marine Militia member. And you can take a look at what I'm talking about. It's like, somebody would bring up the, well, they're doing this and they're doing whatever. It's like, hey, it's not a matter if we're going to fight, it's just a matter of when now. Nobody is excited and everybody was told not calm down. Just, you know, yep, you got the right idea. Now what are we going to do to deal with this problem? What are we going to do to get rid of the problem? It's not an if, just a when. That helped keep everybody focused, minimize activity, and allowed everybody to get everything done that needed to be done in order for them to carry on the mission. The only thing that may be requiring a special meeting is colonial marine aviation but also militia aviation. We've got some new things that are coming up that are going to expand on our ability in coin operations. That's a lot of work in and of itself. But we've already got the background there. So I'm not really worried about that so much as again trying to explain to people how to organize effectively and get the job done as quickly. Well, there's not a whole lot of debate necessary. The big thing is mobile field support. Now I covered that in the Battle for the Republic series, aviation support. They don't want anybody in America to think about this, but all of the expressways are runways for, you know, coin aircraft, for ground attack aircraft, for Supply and support, that's why it's the Interstate Defense Highway Network, that's why it's mandatory every so many miles. There's so many straight, flat pieces of road with no interference. Any heavy aircraft can land. They don't want to even remind anybody that everybody that planes landing and they make a big to-do. You shouldn't have done that. Well, they don't want anybody to think about what those big miles of expressway really are for. encompassing cities, creating prison camps, effective patrol, dividing up states by regions and or counties and or whatever. Any number of different projects but the expressways are not there to be warm and fuzzy, there are there to be tools against the population to be used for warfare inside the United States. Just that simple, that's why it's the Interstate Defense Highway Network. Okay, as long as you understand that, the expressway mark No, that's the Defense Interstate Highway Network. Well, Interstate Defense Highway Network. Make sure my kids are right there, right? And by the way, you drive around the country, you'll see those pictures of Dwight D. Eisenhower. And you know, yes, Dwight D. Eisenhower. You know, the, yeah, that person. And the whole idea is that it's commemorative, they named it after him. Isn't that amazing? I don't know why. Oh wait a minute, they stole this idea from the Germans with the Autobahn. That's why. And the Autobahn was not supposed to be the only expressway, it's just the only one they ever finished. So just for everybody who doesn't know that, might want to do a little background again. Good to have some history. Next, well of course now the other part about it is the Russian fleet in motion. So there's a couple things. Oh my goodness, they moved a bunch of ships. One of the things I haven't had a chance to cross reference with yet, not like there aren't 50 million things to do in the day. But I would point out, Russians are not going to allow their fleet to be in ice this year. Does everybody understand that? If I were the Russians, I'd resurrect every ship that shamed on them. They were foolish enough to let go below the waves. If I were them, I would be grabbing people, employing them in a recovery process, and every ship that was sitting in short or shallow water would be resurrected immediately. A number of sub-reasons for that, but everything and anything that could put afloat, same with other combat aircraft and non-combat equipment needs to be put in service. There's a lot of stuff that can be resurrected quite easily. The facilities that were the big panic for everybody at the end of last week and the weekend are all sites that otherwise would be iced over and their ships would be sitting gun platforms slash also targets. The subs and ships were out. There's, of course, now the announcement there's going to be a carrier group headed for, well, it's already headed for, but it'll be arriving in the Middle East off the serious coast, good for the Russians, and maybe they will exterminate ISIS and any baby rapers that happen to be running with them. And I don't care what flavor or what nationality they are, but if there's baby rapers standing there with the other baby-raper ISIS personnel, they all need to be executed, right? We need those pedophilic baby-rapers wiped out. So if they happen to be in some other military uniform standing there because they're helping ISIS, the Muslim employees of the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service, why? It's good that they're going to be wiped out. However, don't expect them also to go back to their original home port facilities. A percentage of these, with the map that I saw, were sites that were only recently recovered by the Russians, again where they were starting to advance into the older facilities that when the Cold War ended, they had just walked away from. The buildings are there, the equipment's there, it's in various levels of disrepair, or, you know, again, just abandoned. I mean, it's an isolated location to begin with. A lot of equipment was just left. And when I say left, I mean just left. If they were motivated, they'd be pulling a lot of stuff, moving a lot of stuff, resurrecting a lot of stuff, and I'd been putting a lot of paint on things. That's just me. You know, chip, paint. And again, they still have a, probably a, oh, about one eighth of the size of what they have above the water they have sitting there as a ghost fleet if they were to resurrect it. A lot of where they would park these ships, they were actually in brackish or in fresh water. That's a salvation actually. It's not a good thing to have your boats resting in the bottom because you let them get flooded over from rain and snow and then melt and then more rain and snow. And then another season, another season, see that's one of the problems. They have ships that they, especially since they don't have the surface fleet that they really need, resurrecting the older ships would be a really good idea and modifying other existing platforms, especially cargo transports to create basically like maybe St. Louis air defense platforms. I don't know if anybody's really thought about that but crews in the container ships with offload, tremendous horsepower, lots of range, lots of throw weight, and just imagine those as missile and air defense platforms kind of like the St. Louis cruisers of World War II. Every place you can put a missile or a gun launcher to throw junk up, it's there. And especially at maximum range so that you create another gun umbrella over the fleet operations. With electronic countermeasures and everything else on board, as a palletized package, it can be put on with cans, you know, with the shipping canisters. There would be no reason for that, for a can, a container ship not to be converted over very quickly to combat operations as a gun missile platform ship. Well Mark, it's not armored, guys! Tin cans, Corvettes, cruisers, and destroyers are pretty well pith poorly armored right now as it is. And what we would normally have called a destroyer, we put a cruiser name on, and then we got cruisers that are so stinkin' oversized that they, or should say destroyers, that they should be called cruisers, but they're calling them destroyers. It's goofy. I don't even know what their spec plan is anymore. I don't know how that makes any sense. So just a little heads up there. Anyway, the Russian fleet has been in motion. Now the public announcement is they're going to take the one carrier they have and several other support ships and move them on down to the Mediterranean. This is a move that last year I covered. Do you remember prepping for this? Another thing they keep opening up about and then shutting up about is China. Now guys, China at the end of last year moved, in the beginning of this year, moved a whole bunch of support technology into the region, into the area. Whether they decided to make it a training exercise and for forward deployment beyond their normal area of activity is as likely as not. But the bottom line is the Chinese have already committed and in fact, remember, moved the one refurbished Russian carrier that they have as part of a long line of new carriers by building up carrier experience personnel. They have now deployed that carrier, but I don't know what its specific location is right now. In more recent weeks, everybody has made a point of not talking about it. So, what does that tell you? Now, where to go for that? Janes. Most information we need to be available from Janes. Now, some of it's public, most of it's private, as they sell information. They sell intelligence. This information, though, is relatively public. Hard to hide an aircraft carrier when you're in short waters anyway, right guys? I mean, where do you hide? That's the whole point. You don't. I've mentioned this many, many times. Once you're in shallows or narrows like this or land blocks like this, you're not going to hide anywhere. And aircraft carriers are bullet magnets, especially ours. We've made bigger and bigger, and so everybody decides just to go that one. There isn't a whole lot going to save it. And in fact, if they just turn and then do the next one the same way, ain't a whole lot going to save that one either. But you're not supposed to think about that. So we won't think about that. We won't think about the aircraft carriers being the bullet magnets that they are. Instead, we will be awe-inspiring and maybe they'll use them as the excuse for the war. I mean, remember the Maine, remember the Lusitani, remember Pearl Harbor, remember the Gulf of Tonkin, remember the torpedoes, shot at our F-35 fighters. Yeah, that's right. Torpedoes. They were in the water and our jet fighters valiantly dodged the torpedoes that were in the water that were aimed for... No, wait a minute. That's kind of bad. It's awkward. Yeah, but you got to have that water thing tied in with the new space thing, which is always the scam thing, you know. They're really close and they flew over some of airspace. We have no business being there. See, we don't live in Syria. So us declaring a no-fly zone in Syria is me-es. Then again, the skank Israelis want to steal everybody's property, so we just got to follow along by our little weenie, our little, you know, gold chain weenie. Got that brass, you know, gold colored, but brass ring through our weenie, and they keep pulling us around by that and taking us on down the road. So, don't be surprised at what you might see coming up next here. Anyway, on that point, let's see, hold on here. Oh, I just had another flag, good. Give me a moment. 20 things at once here. Here we go. Very good. Somebody just pointed out they went over to COPES. Hold on here. I gotta go over to COPES distributing now for some reason. Somebody said, Mark, check this out. Arms number 15 Empire Ejector. 12 gauge single shot used. They've got this on the front page. Wait a minute. No. Oh, it's a 12 gauge bird gun for $125. Which is not bad. I mean, it's good. I see what you're talking about. Uh, no, it looks like it's a sale thing, so... You wanna find out more? Woah! Okay, I see what you're talking about. Yeah, see this, thank you. Thank you very much. Look, you're very much. This is the Elvis. We're almost to the bottom of the hour break, which will be another three minutes, and we're gonna be playing Poker Face, rather die than Be Your Slave, at the 30-minute mark. Polytech front sight base with band head assembly. What do you think that's worth, guys? What do you think you'd pay for that, that from, you know, a blast from the past? Front sight, holding bayonets, spiked bayonets, the shorter bayonets, right? It's got the pin, the adjust area, everything's there. $240. My God, man, when the AKs came in, you could buy two of the AKs for that price. $125 apiece. And that's what they want. And by the way, everybody took these bayonets off. Do you remember this? And now everybody wants to put the bayonets back on. I told you so. I told you so. I told you. Remember when I told everybody about this? Buy those bayonets. They're only a dollar a piece. Buy those front sight shrouds with a lug. They're only two dollars in Chinese made. Real Chinese made. Right now, Polytech, only because they're Polytech, not in a Rinko. A Rinko were the cheaper. They were like Chevy and Pontiac. These are like Oldsmobile and Buick. Alright, Polytech! Yeah, well, whatever. Anyway, $240, guys, because it's collectible. Because it's... well, they're just getting towards being an antique, but it's not. In fact, very much it's an effective fighting system. Anyway, $240. Thank you, guys. Appreciate, thumbs up. I missed that one, and it's like, whoa! No, I'm not going out of my way to buy that. I'll spend the $240 and get a complete new firearm. That's what I'll do. two hundred forty dollars i should be able to get something and maybe some ammo if i buy right you know what i mean? hell buy that twelve gauge for one hundred twenty five and still have money left over for another one and some twelve gauge ammo that's only a single shot but hey it's cool anything is better than harsh language and throwing bricks at them you know what i mean? and you may still throw bricks at them anyway uh... the other thing about copes along this road there real quick and we are over almost at the bottom here so let's do this uh... copes also has have the sales going on but I'm having an interesting time here. There we go, got it. They still have it, the other sale things are off from the Knob Creek shoot but they do have the Gun Show specials up still and they have the hundred pouches for a hundred dollars, definitely worthwhile. One of the guys got a hundred of those, ten dollars flat shipping, still bought another bundle of the pistol belts and which was you know bought more of those and now has a whole bunch of these mag pouches. US suspenders are like $4 and something for the tan ones. And I think that's what he did, is he went with the tan pistol bell, or no, the brown, the only green pistol bell used, but you know, virtually new. I've gotten several bundles of those. And picked up the, uh, oh, let's see, I think it's on page 2. Double check. Alright, here at Poker Face. Let me do this. I'm gonna be able to search this out. We're gonna be able to write. We'll be back, right here, Liberty Tree Radio, bottom of the hour. PokerFace.com. to give to somebody where you're trying to teach them in the process they got to birth one of these and you got a couple of this from Poker Face. Hey they even got some artwork, they got the posters in the band, all that. Plug them in, pass them on and let them know how to hook up to www.pokerface.com and that will get the job done. I want to go back to Cope's distributing just for a minute and oh, do we have a caller? Hello Mark. We got a caller, go ahead, caller jump in there. Yeah, this is Tex-Makes. Yeah, uh, hate the bug again, but just wonder if he got the turkey cart going, yeah. I thought about it yesterday but I just couldn't fit it in with the rain. I really didn't. I did. No, you know what? It's funny. We're probably thinking about it at the same time. The matrix works that way. But no, do remind me. Seriously, you're helping me because I just have to cut the time away. I almost did it yesterday but we had too much going on with all of our friends. Here we had stuff we had to take care of. We had barrels we had to move. Also, making sure we got the, you know, actually wet weather gear, I got a deal on Gore-Tex, a German Gore-Tex, and I don't want it sitting around here, so I made sure the troops are getting it. But if we hadn't got wet, we probably would have. I got a new camera just for this, another camera for the project, because I'm going to wear one. While I film and there's a reason for that because you know why we've been talking about this one of the reasons that the Turkey Trot this is what the callers for everybody listening this is something the Turkey Trot is something was developed as part of our military science research and development before the American war for independence contrary to what you're all told that we just kind of spontaneously got into this no that's not true. The militia, if books hit the docks, the militia grabbed everything on warfare. Everybody did actually. Anybody who was anybody was grabbing anything in the way of text that was coming from overseas no matter what it was. And the crown didn't get the books. We paid whatever we had to to get what we needed or what we wanted. Many cases custom ordered stuff too by the way. But we were doing research here. A lot of the soldiers that we had, men available, had been soldiers in the French and Indian War. Well, the French and Indian Wars, the last one was in the 1860s, the late 1860s, and then there were skirmishes, of course, from that point forward. But the Turkey Trot was designed to take strain, and it was based upon ideas and concepts of physical endurance. It was designed to take strain off the joints, because the average older man, one of the things you have problems with in your knees, It's not just the bending, it's the impact on the knees, guys. If you didn't get a good diet to begin with, and back then diet was an issue, even though we ate better in the US than most places on the planet. Don't make any mistake about that. France had started for centuries. England had started for centuries. In America, unless you were just sitting on your dead arse, there was food to be found and there were ways to get yourself fed. So we had a better diet to begin with. We were healthier, OK? But the Turkey Trot was designed because of the lack of impact that it created on the knees. And also not just the initial bend, but also the impact of weight. Because they weren't carrying 90 pound rucks back then. But the idea is that with all the gear that you might be carrying into battle, the equipment you had to carry plus your personal kit, and to make better time. The idea behind this is that the average militia could move three times faster than a marching British regular. In reality, that's the comment made in the diaries by the regulars. The commander of the Marines actually makes a note in his diary about watching the militiamen running in this ungainly trot slash gallop. And in groups of fives and pens, as they would move across the battlefield at higher speed, They would be there and gone, and they would regain distance after they'd engaged and would get ahead of the troops and start fighting again. The Turkey Trot was one of the things that had been perfected for this process. Now, whether or not it stuck with the whole of the war, I don't know. I know that militia units continue to train consistently as they had from the beginning and were actually better trained than the flapping yap, you see. militia units would be, it was purely a matter of personal commitment, guys, just like right now. Some units take it seriously, other units think that meeting is a coffee shop and will lament about what Glenn Beck said and, you know, that's it. Okay, we're doing nothing. But back in the day, this was part of our military science. This was part of, you know, development and research that our people did. and it was called the Turkey Trot. And you'll find references to it, but it's harder than hell and I don't know that anybody's done any video yet. But what I'm going to do is put the camera on me, the one-car camera, and we're going to film it. And hopefully we can motivate a few of the people to participate too so we can actually do a line, a Turkey Trot line. Now side by side, it should have been just like Turkey's guys. You run in column, in line, one behind the other. At a better speed, you're not really running. We're Turkey Trotting. trotting or not you know you're talking about this situation yeah we really are for a change not just running so thank you for reminding me again okay it was it's one of those things we were we were uh... in in turkey trap mode this weekend but it just didn't quite get it not so yeah anything else go ahead please well uh... yeah i'm uh... uh... i am going to uh... we go to a running gun this weekend and have all places uh... you know like this uh... crawford texas oh yeah Yeah Really? Yeah Well how many people are supposed to be there? What's the participation level supposed to be? Oh it'll be at least between R.O.s and... which I am an R.O. and competitors probably be... that'll be a hundred people for sure. Actually maybe more. I know it'll be all weekend. There's even gonna be a Timothy Murphy shot. We're gonna have to actually climb a tree and and shoot from it and shoot at two targets at unknown distances but I'm pretty sure it's going to be more than two or three hundred yards and we're going to try to you know mimic his shot. Oh okay well I think he were... why don't you tell him to do the Japanese sniper routine just tie yourself up in the tree and wait till your shot dead. It really messed with their heads. What's that bandana? Oh, it's Japanese. I'm doing the kamikaze thing. On the ground. It's, you know, bonsai. No, that's not what's supposed to work. Yeah, yeah, I know. I know. I guess we'll have to be more... We're thinking more in mobility rather than fix... fixility. Okay. But I was just... I was just kind of surprised that, you know, these people were able to organize something out. I mean, I know probably, you know, W doesn't probably even own a ranch there anymore, but I mean... I mean that was his, his home stayed there while he was president. Right, that's what's interesting and again he, there's, well there's several ranches, he's like, several, anybody who starts to collect ranches usually ends up with more than a handful. I mean I know several guys that have seven or eight of them like in California, I mean, or people we've known and it sounds big, it is big, they are big and it is expensive but some of these people have more money than you and I ever will touch. But it's just one of those things where they usually end up with, hey, that's for sale. And you just, you know, they can't pass it up. And it does look great in a portfolio. But they also piss off the neighbors eventually if it's political types like with Bush, where, you know, everybody else is the enemy. And they just can't leave people alone. Because remember, Bush's are limousine liberals from the East Coast. They're not from Texas. Think about that. Yeah, that's why a large Herbert Walker must have that Kenny Buckport main sound. You don't sound like nothing I heard from Texas. You know what I mean? Two different worlds, son. That's what's fascinating, granted, with maybe a little more bass because I'm more into the middle range. But a lot more serious. And George Herbert Walker and George W., they just don't fit as far as I'm concerned. Just wear the cowboy hat. Okay, it's not quite there. But I had another question for you. I found a bayonet for my A2, an AR-15. And it was new in the wrapper. Probably paid a little too much for it, but it was still sealed. It was issued, unissued. But I mean, it was surplus and made by Imperial. And I thought I got it. Pretty good. I paid $35 for it and opened it up. That's not too bad. No, that's not too bad for a new bayonet right now for those. And I mean, never still had the factory edge on it. Not a bit of rust. It was in its own, you know, steel package. It had the date on it, 73. The year and the date was 73. And the only bad thing I didn't know, because you couldn't really see what was in the bag, it did not come with the sheets. Oh, with the NEM 7 sheath? You know who's got, who did I just see as a pile of those? You know, somebody I just saw has a pile of those and I don't know but they're advertising them in several different locations. Hold on. Let me think here. I just looked at them. Well, of course you can always check Sarco. e-sarcoinc.com and they actually sell brand new in the wrapper too. Oh man, man, I just looked at them. I'll tell you what, check. So it's not in a likely place either. And the reason the picture will be, I can picture it, I can leave the icon, they have the image, three of the bayonets, scabbards, one in the middle, the other two crossed, which is, you know, typical display. But it was just the scabbards. And Vietnam era, Vietnam, you know, but now they won't be brand new out of the wrapper. They were obviously service, you know, service-issue but not beat. No, they're just beat up and everything, that's fine with me. No, not only Chequier, probably for a reasonably priced one, would be Chequebudk.com. Oh, okay. It won't be fancy, it won't be an original issue, but it'll be a decent, you know, it'll be a solution. And again, you're getting brand new, but probably a Chinese-born copy, or a Taiwanese copy, or a Korean copy. Now, the Korean copy of the Taiwanese, in reality, what you're getting is their copy of ours that they were competing against us for in the market. you know they were selling to other people to undercut us so they're not bad products I have no problem with the Korean copies and the Taiwanese copies especially are much higher qualities like their M14 magazines the Taiwanese military mags they knew their life was on the line so they didn't cut any corners on those I've never had a problem with the Taiwanese mag as far as their military M14 mags go might be other problems with other undercut companies but Bud K would be one place to check. E dash circle, oh wait, I know what it was, Apex. Apex. Oh, apexgunparts.com. In fact, it was a good price too. Hold on here. Now you got me curious because that's what it was. I was looking at Apex. Apex had some really good buys. In fact, they have that set me kit. It's an investment. Even if you don't have the rifle, and I'm talking to you or anybody else, it's $250 for an armorers kit. I don't know if they still have them, they might even already sold out. But guys, those are worth money. It's the original armourer's chest, it's like a briefcase, wood, made out of wood. It's gonna have a mix of tools, it's got spare parts, firing pins, extractors, ejectors, hole trigger groups, spare stock, armourer's tools. Okay, what they would normally expect to have in the kit. And it's $250. Now guys, I've told you before, it's like the CZ-52 when they came out. For a little while there, the armrest kits came out and they were like $60 and $40 and $80 a piece and I said, buy them. Anybody who bought them knows that those suckers are now a $500, $600 chest. If you can find one of those in one piece, and you probably won't because all the partner dealers divvied them up. Go ahead, caller. Hi. How are you doing? I'm the caller that called in like a couple weeks ago. I just ordered a Cheatshare 91. For the most part, I'm assuming that the CEPME parts are interchangeable. Yes, most of the CEPME parts are. In fact, there's an excellent video that was done. I have one of the original VHS tapes done by one of the guys who was building these kits when they were doing the HK91 and the CEPMEs. And as he pointed out, about 80% to 90% of the parts are fully interchangeable. What they did is they built the gun in Spain, figured out what to do with it, and then Germany brought it home is what they did. And when they did, the G3 was, you know, they modified it to their final specs and away you go. Hold on here, I'm looking for these before I get too far away, because Techmass asked a question here. Yeah, I'm definitely in an order one tonight. They're still in the air. They still have them, oh well, they're back up to 3.4975. I'm looking at them right here, they jacked them back up. By $100. Already did, guys. I told everybody, I know how it is. Well, hey, I was going to do the same thing. I didn't look at how close that sale was going to be, but I'm looking at them right here, they're now $349.75. And what'd you say that that actually included? I'm sorry, you don't want to check that answer. Well, let's admit, go to the page and read what it says, because it has Because I contacted PTR and I asked if I could purchase any spare bolts or firing equipment and they haven't got back to me. Well, part of that is they're swamped. I know they're cranking out as much as they can. In fact, one of the things that's happened, PTR is, remember, selling to Century now. So the new Sentry knockoff PTR-91s, they're boasting that their receivers are PTR-91 receivers. Now that's to ride on the PTR claim to fame, but they're still Sentry and Sentry has always been terrible for putting their guns in, not every one of them, but they gave themselves a bad reputation. And because of that, I'd still go with the PTR. I understand the rifles are cheaper than we do. I know guys bought them and they're happy with them. But the PTR rifle is all American made. It's built here in the US. It's got a lifetime warranty. Basically, there's no tomorrow on it for all practical purposes. We are getting into a shooting match. Warranties are all void, guys. I think it has a rail on it, you know? That was the only thing that was preventing me from getting the GI model years ago. I didn't want to get that clog now. I just waited and waited and they finally added a rail. They read my mind. I'm sure there were thousands of other guys just like me that was emailing them, like, you should do this and that, and they actually listened. Well, when they go to the Shot Show, people give them good feedback. And most anybody, if they're smart, will listen to the industry. And that's the thing. Hold on here, Banettes. Oh, that's what I need to do. Forgive me. I'm all on busy happen. And I should be because I'm out of the air. Banettes and knives. Hold on here. Let's see if I can find this. I think they're there. And come on. There we go. OK. Oh, yep. OK. Three pack of Vietnam M7 Banette Scabbards. They're out of stock on those already. Oh, man, they got hit this weekend. Oh, this is Knob Creek weekend is why. That's what it was. For instance, you bought the, well, they got a BM59 set for a ridiculous price. I'm looking while we're talking, guys. Now, they have a Bushmaster bayonet for $29.95 that used to be about $19. And that's not bad, because that's really a pretty decent blade, but it's for the set meat. The HK is a different bayonet, and they're out of stock on those. The PTR-91 uses the inverted bayonet fixture. I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm scrolling because I'm curious myself. They sold out on the one and I looked at them, like I said, exactly as I described. They had a little triple, uh, three of them in a package for a package deal. Okay, and the other ones are out of stock too, just, well, hey, we're gonna have to look somewhere else, because it looks like they sent us a, put them up, everybody thought they needed them. And they do have a South Korean variant, but that's already gone too. Now that one I think has been out of stock, forgive me, I'm looking. Whoa, whoa! Okay, that's a World War two M8, which is the one that fits the carbine They want $57 just for the scabbard. You know what? If the prices seem to be in that range of crazy I would go over to Bud K and buy one of the Korean copies or China copies personally. That's me Know what I mean? I had one more question for you. Okay. Yeah, go ahead. They got text. I'm starting to interrupt the first caller I'm gonna I'm not the takeoff right now. Um, you had mentioned something about cheap uh was it steals and four magazines so like six dollars or something keep him for mag yeah it was like two days ago year year i forgot what um site that you said that there was cheap uh military surplus um oh right this this company right here right here apex gun parts six dollars at ease okay Steel, they're what they are, they're Setme AR mags. They're the NATO standard mag. The 223 Setme mags are M16 mags. They're $6 apiece and that's the best price and these are military vaccines. So you can't really beat the price on those. It's one of those, now we better be careful because they might even sold out of those. They got hit this weekend because I went through and I was looking and that's how I recognized those bayonet scabbards. And let's see if they still have, I'm pretty sure they do. You just have to go through and find them. But yes they do. And set me L AR15 30 round magazine steel 556 NATO. Good condition, $6 apiece. Wow, I would buy those if you need them I buy them in a heartbeat because that you could buy more mags for less money You know what I mean? Yeah, I have like 50 magazines, but you send them more than merrier There's no mag for six dollars out there right now No, there isn't. The magpole will sell like twelve dollars as the cheapest I can find magpole magazines Yeah, and I wouldn't have any problem with this magazine this steel military mag made by Spain You know the Spanish aren't raved about and the Italians aren't raved about, but you've got to admit they do build good stuff. They don't build, you know, the metallurgy is the issue, but with magazines, nobody does anything in high-end steel. If they do, then you pay top dollars for those match mags. And then they, you know, they gouge your arm and leg and your first newborn son. These are serviceable mags. I wouldn't even think twice about grabbing them. If I needed some right now, I'd go buy 10, 20, 30, or 50 of them. Well anyways, thank you again for your time. I started to take up the other types and cut the other color off. Plus, I'm the radiator. That's okay, take care of your work. You gentlemen have an excellent evening and I will stay tuned and I'll be shopping online tonight. Very good. And I'm going to look to see what I can find. Text Max, Bud K. Check Bud K because that's... You know, they were selling scabbards separately. Now, again, they're not real heavy, but they're heavy enough. Okay, I've bought these for years because we were getting tons of M16 and carbine bandits. Most of them were getting the carbine bandits from Korea. They were horrid condition. They were fair condition, but they had been re-parkerized. And they're serviceable enough because all I want is a pokey-pokey thing to go on the end of the carbine, right? And we used to get them for about $8 a piece and sometimes they came with the scabbards, sometimes they didn't. So I went to the knife companies, found the cheapest scabbard we could get, threw them on the weapon and they got a scabbard matched up to the bayonet, go along with the racks and racks of car beans. And that's how it works. So I know right now they're also making copies of the Springfield scabbards. you don't need that. But for anybody else who might be looking for the World War I, World War II, Springfield and Garand Scabbards, they are making knockoffs of those again. Those are made for the World War II reenactors. And I would carry that if I was in the field for reenacting. I wouldn't carry the original. I'd keep that at the museum, so to speak. Even though I've got lots of them. Okay. In fact, I've got a lot of World War I cut man-eds from the beginning of World War II that we got back when nobody wanted them and now everybody wants stupid price for them because they're classed. I always be aware of the word classic. Tex-Mex, anything else, sir? Yeah, what was the, uh, what was that number for that scabbard, uh, was it M7? What was the, uh, for the M7 is the one you want, but I believe the M8 should fit without any problem, because the carbine bayonet blade and the, and the, and the M16 bayonet blades were pretty much the same. The difference is in the size of the fixture. In fact, the keeper system was the same. I don't know why they did that with the, you know, well I know why, they were already building them. But you know, the way that they built the M16 lock and release, it could have been done differently, but oh well, you know, it works. You know, it's what we got. Still saying, well, it's what we got. So make it work, because it's what they built, and they built lots of them, and you got one. So now we've got to get a scabbard track down. And I can't see. In fact, you know what, Bud Kay, let's go there real quick, because I haven't done, I did that last night, but Bud Kay, I always check Bud Kay out because you never know when they're going to have those twofers. If they have the twofers in the gas mask, grab them. Okay? Guys, I can't stress that enough. Bud Kay does the buy one, get one free. And you never know what they're going to have up on their sales sheet. So, whenever we get something better, get something better. The other thing too is again, E circle. Now E dash circle, we know circle likes to charge for classic too so you've got to watch that. If you're looking just for, oh that's weird, okay what the hell. Oh and that's special. Okay, this is pissing me off. Dot A dot com, I wasn't over there so I'm going over there. Dot com, let's try this again. But K dot com. Whether or not they have scabbards, you'd have to check. Oh they have a free hat with an order right now. But, well that's weird. Now they've got, they might even have them in leather, which is the World War II and early Vietnam knockoffs. There was a Colt blade that was made to go along with the M16 originally, and it's more of a bowing or a drop point than the standard Vanette, so you've got to watch that because there's variations. Those are the F-21 variations, and a bunch of those came out about two years ago. And a lot of us are brand new to the rapper, now they're like $150-$200 bayonet. Don't worry about that, you don't need that. Okay? I'm looking all at- Ah, talking. And walking with my fingers. All over the internet pages. I don't see them right off the bat, but they're gonna have to do a search. Okay, here. Need help? Yeah! Bayonet Scabbard. Let's just do that. Bayonet. You got my curiosity up in the air and all that. I was like, yes, I always am curious about this. Bayonet Scabbards. Scabards. Is it scabards? There we go. Scabards. Let's see if we got one. Well, they got an Ontario M9, but that's not what I was looking for, and only for $129. And then five knives they didn't want pop up. Search engines. I really do. It's like, okay, I punched in Bennett Scabbard, and we got the Ontario M9. Ontario's a fine knife company. I carry Ontario forever. M9 Bennett knife with scabbard and they want $129.99 for their copy of the M9 now. Ooh! Well, it is a good one. Well built. And of course I will fit in. But you've already got a bandette, so we don't need to spend more money on that. We just need to find a scabbard. Well, while we're off, see if you can find one and let us know. But, Bud K, if you go through Bud K, I don't know why it's coming up weird here, but I will figure that one out. If not coming up as normal Bud K, it's coming up with some goofy off-the-wall ads separate. There's the pages, right? Okay, well, I'll figure that one out while we're off, too. God bless the Republic. Shout-out prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. They're on the mark, but say it next. And again, War Government goes and tells you who to kill. Revolution and a war for independence is when you make the choice yourself and you do it right. Guys, we'll be back.
