It's uh... yeah, let me tell you this, you know, Windows 7. Hey, there we go. Can you guys hear me now? I uh... I didn't know anything about computers. I mean, zero. Whoops, okay. And my ears... mother-in-law. Do we have somebody else? I think we've got any... Yeah, you got it. I've been trying to come up. I just been trying to figure out why I didn't have audio. I've been having a small problem with my own mixing board, but that's another issue. It's neither here nor there. Don't need to get into that. So the video but what you what do you know that's gone wrong with the computer because I've been listening to it But I've been trying to come on Yeah, we've lost video on on two of the computers And I thought maybe it was just the monitors at first so I started doing some swapping and trying this that and the other The computers running it and you just don't have any video. I won't pull it up. You might know Joe, you might be able to get that to come up with a cheap video card, slap it in the machine and see if you get anything off of it. Even if it has an internal video card on a motherboard, most of them will take an external video card in the port, unless too much of the motherboard has died. Now that's a temporary stop gap if you can get it to work. But you're still going to have to replace that computer. Well, you can't really tell what's functioning or not because you can't see anything. So if I went ahead and stuck a video board in it, I might come back with, I've wasted my time. You know what I mean? Well, it's better to waste time than to waste money sometimes. Yeah, I can't argue with that. But anyway, this is where we are. When you still need the frames anyway, the systems. As long as we're looking at this price, this is very reasonable. Well, a couple other people have been looking at the same site at Newegg.com and there are a few that are a couple dollars less. Pretty much the same system variations on the theme for the Windows 7 Professional. I just went in and grabbed, let's see, what do we got here? I got a pile of Western Digital hard drives. Hey, Dad. I hate to interrupt you there, but we are past the top of the hour. Do you want to just keep going? Let's go ahead and do a break. Everybody take a break for a second. Joey, you can stick around, you gotta go. You stay where we are. You're sticking around until the bottom of the hour, right? Guys, let's go to break. We're not spending money on a country ranch house with several bedrooms, wings, and a walkout docked to the lake. We have to make. We gotta make one. Down the road we'll do that. After we get rid of the EPA, we can do fun things like that and not have to put a bullet in somebody as often. Anyway, we are at the top here. Doug, you're up for a night vision, web page, and we'll be back in a few minutes. Doug, you're up for a three, one, seven, eight, four, five, eight, seven, eight, but you know, it's good to be from the past. He's Guardian, a family-owned business located in the heart of Ohio's hunting community. Let us help you find the right shotgun or rifle for you.

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 sheave, taking Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms. 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. 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 fight? Star six to mute. 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 To torture freedom by his right As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for once he came His words were true, 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 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? Dilled the land to the free. I'm Mark Herkey and I'm Don Dutton. Victory victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, stations, CB stations, Mark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Hey, but it's wanting to rain but it's not down here. It looks like it should rain and it's dampened the air, humidity's up but still dry and the pavement's dry. I can't complain but all it takes is a temperature drop and it'd be snow or I guess just the faucet to be opened up a little bit more and it would be rain. So beware on the road tonight. Don't be surprised to get hit with some squalls down. What's it like in your neck in the woods? What's the day today and what's jumping off the wall, please? Hey, it's the 22nd day of February. You're my lord 2016. Beautiful, wonderful day. If Well, if you like, the temperature being about 30 degrees above average, and we'll just run right into that. 22nd day of February 2016, striped down the middle of the week and also, hey, 19-11 in one hand and an empty magazine well and a full magazine in the other hand and well, there's the chamber full too. Now, that magazine out, we can tell you its weapons. One state of perimeter needs some attention and You oughta keep pullin' on that reloader so you can repeat along with me there's plenty more where that came from as I top off the magazine and put it back in the magazine well. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday. We have, I think we still have Joe on the line. You might be muted. Star six to unmute yourself. There we go. We gotcha. And again, I gotta remind everybody to mute if you've got a little handy cough button. Star six to mute and unmute. So again, for everybody. Anyway, that's what they call them in the industry, guys. Cough buttons, remember? You know, it happens. Makes for perfect broadcasting. Anyway, real quick here, we got a couple of other things. I got three or four of the computers that I just took were hand-me-down gimmes that they're supposed to run. They're freebies. They just got to go out and pick them up. I have a whole bag full of brand new components, so it's a good thing I stopped by there real quick. And we do have a pile of hard drives. These are Western Digital 250 gigabyte. They came from the University of Michigan. I know where they came from. Again, this should be serviceable. I'm going to box these up. We'll shoot these up. You have some more hard drives to work with, OK? They should be totally compatible. They came out of an OptiPlex. Either they came out of seven. Well, you should fit the 755 with any problem. But they're just utility drives. And since we don't need terabytes, then it works out just fine. You can actually set these up, program these, in addition, whatever else we're doing, and have more hard drives ready to go, just like a line of books. unplug the other plug that one in if there's a problem or something's going down on it. Now Ed was talking about issues with regard to replacement and Ed you still there? Well actually supporting the machines that are on site, that might be the problem. And I know Edward's right there on standby, he's probably working to grab the mic and make sure he doesn't make too much caribaly noise. I know how the studio is set up there. So, Edward are you there? You just heard me shout from the other, you know from the microphone, or just say from the speaker. Anyway, before we go any farther, let's give everybody another update. It's a new hour. Some people listen to this hour. Some people don't listen to the other hour because it's what they can do either at work or because they're running around trying to get home or they're running to work and then they can plug in. So it is Weapons Wednesday. We have, of course, they've been pretty well entertained by the circus that makes up Washington, D.C. and, of course, the Festival of Terror overseas, sponsored by the Jewish Mafia. It's going to continue to be entertaining. Like we said, step back, take a deep breath, and understand no matter what, we've got to deal with our problems and deal with them first. France, well, you people let the monsters walk in, didn't you? Pretty nasty. Anyway, we've got a technology problem. Explain to everybody what happened this morning and what we're looking for in the need of, please. Yeah, I think we've pretty much covered, you know, ultimately these delt desks. I was trying to find here if they had more than one or how many was available or... Oh, I'm sure. I don't know if any of these were. I've never used this site, but typically they have a pile of these. They do probably the same thing we do. Either they're buying them from an industrial source or they're buying them from a college university. The University of Michigan will pile up five, six hundred or a thousand of these things at once and usually the guys go in and make a package deal, refurbishing, you know, then send them back out. The machine that I'm using right here, the OptiPlex 780 that I'm using is one of those. I know where it came from, I know it came from the U of M, it still had the U of M property sticker somewhere around here, I know I saw it under the hood. And it's, they're a workhorse model. That's why it's really cool if we can find a standard model and plug and play that's cool anyway. But as far as the, it's like what I just did. I got a bag full of brand new in the box spare parts for a number of different machines including some of the laptops that I've already picked up that I got for free. If you guys are able to help, what we can do is if you can call in, the way to do this is if we can have somebody donate a computer, they can get hold of Joe there. But what I want to do, explain to everybody what happened this morning. Okay, recap, what transpired, why it is we're doing what we're doing. Well, it's pretty simple actually. After we got done on the micro effect this morning with the morning intel report, Phyllis and Joseph came on and we went through about an hour of their program and we had a power outage. It was off for quite a while, then it popped back on, then it shut back off, then it popped back on. Even with the protection that we have, you know, search protection, it managed to take out two of the computers, which we have, you know, no video resource. We have no idea how much other damage is done at this point, because you can't navigate it. You can try to hooking, switching things around, trying to get them to fire up to no avail. Where we're at right now is, like I explained, generally we try to do this ahead of time and buy a lot of, you know, three or four, five, six, you know, however many it is, and a lot if we can get it for the right price. But a couple of things that are important, you know, like this particular computer, again, Mark, that you brought up, the Dell desktop computer, 755 dual core, with the amount of RAM and everything that has in it would be perfect. Okay, because it's pretty much what we're running here right now. And the more of these, I know we don't need 100 of them, of course I'm sure we could use them over a period of time, but right now we're in dire need of two, a minimum of two. And if we can get more than that, then hooray, it'll give us a little bit of a head start on the next time we have to deal with something like this. The other thing I can do right now is, we're giving the people an idea of what we're looking for or hope to get or receive. It's located on Newegg and all you have to do is type in this product number, N82E16883158337 and it'll copy it up there. I'm sorry, go ahead. Well, I was going to say, what we need is guys a couple right away, but what I'm hoping we can do is try to acquire four or six total. As quickly as you get the first two, they get plugged in. The other equipment cup gets pulled offline. You've got RAM. You've got anything else off there that can be scavenged if the board is fried, or if there's a specific work issue, it can be dealt with off to the side. But ideally, another two or four would be better. And that way they can be pre-programmed, they can be ready to go, something happens. Ideally, the thing to do is even have these hooked up to switchers so that if they go down, you simply switch over to the other idle computer, you know, you power it up, switch it up. It's already programmed and your downtime is minimal. Yes, we have that as well. Yes, that's the way to do it. That would be the way to, the guys, that's the way you need a station set up. And these are not, we're talking about, from what we're paying for one computer, or I should say six, easily you can spend that in a brand new desktop, you know, in a couple fold, because, you know, go take a look at the prices. We're not running off top of the line, we don't need top of the line for the kind of work that we're doing. And it's serviceable enough, it functions well enough, because it's an isolated system, you know, it's doing a very, very narrow task. And the cool thing is, like I said, I'm going to send these hard drives. They should match up or work without any problem. In this particular model, I just talked to the gentleman that gave them to us. And that's just that he puts other hard drives, bigger hard drives in, or different hard drives in because he guarantees everything. And these are all a consistent model. So this would be an addition to everything else. The idea is that we need to start moving technology towards the network, towards the micro effect network, so that we can keep them up and online. Well, you know, that's another thing we have to deal with is, you know, with everything moving forward per se, I don't know if Windows 10 is moving forward. Between working or dealing with the other radio station in town of what we have going on here, and software that you've already purchased, you know, you have the user code and this sort of thing is falling to the wayside because you're advancing, you know, the Windows 10 and maybe the next one will be 12 or what have you. You find yourself having to repurchase stuff that you purchased that was supposed to be a lifetime account kind of thing. So, you know, that's another problem too. So, you know, for example, you can't get any support on Windows XP anymore. There's no updates. There's no anything. And we still have one Windows XP running right now, but she's slowing down pretty good and without the support and what have you, forces you to move to the next one. And right now, the bottom of the line, I guess you could say, is Windows 7. And how long are we able to continue to support that? I have no idea. Windows 8 is out of the question, because everything I've examined and talked about in Windows 8 is just up problem to begin with. With Windows 10, all the softwares are so new that you take things like Adobe Audition or BSI or any of those broadcast softwares. The broadcast softwares are trying to keep up with the... And so what they're having is, oh hey, we're going to put out Windows 10. And so if Adobe Audition receives in for an example, says, well look, we're not ready for that. We don't have everything ready, but you use this part and that part, but you lose a lot of functionality because of the new change. And then all of a sudden, you're emailing back and forth to the company, well, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work. And of course, you have to work through all those problems before you can get back to where you were already. keep up with. So that's kind of a problematic situation. Right now we're just dealing with the cheapest and the simplest way of running your broadcast here at the Micro Effect. Windows 10, brand new computer, we're running Windows 7 and I would have been happy to stay with XP. We're out of gas on that one, so Windows 7 is what we're running. So again folks, if you can help with the situation. They weren't making them as much money as they wanted. They weren't making them as much money as they wanted. Yeah. Well you know I think it's kind of a rip off when you think about it. They do it with cars today. What do you think, let's go with let's say a $30,000 car with GPS and all this fancy computer stuff, it is going to be worth say 20 years from now. When the owner walks in and says hey my GPS isn't working anymore, my stereo, whatever. Oh well that's an outdated software you have to buy a new car. Because that's already going on. That's not right and it's not going to be useful now. Well, I've got a couple of cars sitting here at the back of the property. The anti-theft system came on for whatever reason. And the answer to the problem is you can't change the computer, the hard drive, the brain, or nothing else. The answer to that problem is, well, get it down to us. We'll give you $1,000 for that one. You can trade in on a new one. That's the answer to that, because they claim that these particular vehicles cannot be fixed. period. That's where they have you. And so they're using all these softwares against people. You're going to keep you on that treadmill one way or the other happening right now. I think what I'll do is... Well let's do this. Before we get farther, we've been... OK, we give out your contact information. Also give out your mailing address. Somebody buys one of the things. They're going to shoot it to you, right? So repeat, you do give it out three times, give all the information out three or four times and go slow so that everybody can write down because again guys if you want to just go to www.newegg.com. We've already given the numbers out, I'll give those out again but now we need to know where to send it. So mailing address or phone number, contact numbers for you and everything that's necessary so that we can make this copacetic. Go ahead. Okay, if you're going to send it via snail mail, that address is of course, Joe McNeil PO Box 164, Kami I, Idaho 83536, PO Box 164, Kami I, Idaho 83536, or if you're going to send UPS or FedEx or something along those lines, The address would be 2211-2211 Woodland Road, Camus, Idaho 83536. And if you would like to talk to me, the number is 208-935-0094, 208-935-0094. If you plan on helping us out with this situation, it would be good if you can let us know ahead of time and we can be expecting or make some sort of plan for the future here so we know what we're doing or what we're not doing. That's pretty important as well. Anyway, back to you, Mark. And again, give out the address one more time so everybody goes slow because that's the manual address you'll be sending the computer to. If they buy the computer and they do it tonight, they're going to have to send it to an address. The address they need to send it to is 2211 Woodland Road, just like it sounds, Woodland Road, Woodland Road, 2211 Woodland Road, Idaho I-36. You choose to use a snail mail for one reason or the other. That address is pretty much all the same except for PO Box 164. PO Box 164, Kami I, Idaho 83. The number is 208-935-0094. We have it folks. Okay, well we're squared away. Again guys, give them a call right now. Joe, go ahead. We'll let you go. Sound good? All right. We got everything in motion. Again, watch for some boxes from us too. Yes, we'll do. Those will be in motion tomorrow morning because I don't think we'll get them out tonight, so we might, but we'll see. Okay. God bless. Bye-bye. And again, we still got Dunwood this year for just a little bit, I think. Right down? Yes, we do. And now it's starting to get dark. Guys, look outside. We've been talking about night vision. We're going to be working on filming. Dun's got the technology piled up. We just got a strap it onto enough firearms etc etc so that we can get everything into the field where it belongs. Don, if we do need that vision, how can we get hold of you? And what all do we have? How can we use that webpage please? Well conversely if you go over to the website ydtoe.us you scroll up and down and all around you'll see digital and green screen and thermal and it's in every one of those categories and we have, oh binoculars and monoculars in the top two. There's even a couple new pieces down there in the digital, but if you go over to the website, ydtoe.us, you'll be able to look at them. And if you have any questions about what you see there, like what's the call, my number is 231-96. That number will help you reduce the prices. Now, that number will help you if you're standing in a gun show or at a gun store and you're looking at a piece of night vision that I'm not gonna sell you. doesn't bother me, call me up and say, hey Don, what do you think of this? Have you ever heard one of these? Have you ever used it? Answer your question. Some place in the middle of the, oh well, and you know, something's going on and you want to get it out on the air. You can call that number, or you can call, depending on what the microfector, you could call Liberty Tree Radio. Sometimes they're going out on both. Y-D-T-O-E dot U-S. You'll see goggles and gun sights and more gun sights and... binoculars and binoculars and thermal gun sites. If you want to reduce the price on almost exactly everything you see there, give me a call. My number is 23-1. And again, I would like to make vision goggles, yeah, but we sell a whole lot of those. I did mention gun sites, didn't I? 31-796. You can hear him. We're on the air on a regular basis. It works pretty well for all of us. And if you have any questions, you can call him on the program or you can call down personally. the middle of the week. We are heading to the weekend. We got the seed swap on Sunday. We had Dan report that yesterday. We've got a number of people who are going to be taking advantage of that. That's for, again, non-hybrid slash heirloom seeds, guys. And we'll give the particulars out again here in a little bit. Other than that, one of the things I have not even gone through all the stuff from the SHOT Show, it's weapons. And the one interesting thing is if you go to classic firearms, they're carrying double barrel If it's a dual tube and it's a double barrel, it's basically, see before it was really like mega fire power non-stop because you're shooting one barrel and feeding off two tubes. But when you put two tubes on top with two tubes underneath, you're basically just doubling up the shotgun so every time you pull the trigger it's more pellet all at the same time. It's kind of like a tube, well it is a tube fed double You know, the dream that everybody's always had is like, I wish I could do this. Well, now you can. So if you're looking for a pump barrel shotgun, you know, they always did that in the movies. The guy's got a double barrel shotgun and you hear, it's like, wait a minute, it's just a double barrel shotgun. And you'd be like, when you close it like, you know, I'm 79 grenade launcher, right? But instead, what's he racking? Well, now, now, now, now, when you look down the barrel barrel barrel, one of these, these, these, it actually can go. double barrel 12 gauge and they do have the classic firearms. It is in the Kel-Tec type, you know, up configuration short, short gun. I think 26 and 3 quarter inches or whatever it is long down. That's the total length of the gun and Sea Renaul. So, about a nice little stash gun that could be put in a number of different places where if you had them like laying around, if you can't slow them down with that kind of firepower, you're probably not going to slow them down. 12 rounds and you're pulling the trigger and 2, 3 inch, number 4 bucks are going off at the same time, I don't think there's anything in that hallway you're going to miss. Coming through the door that you're going to miss. In other words, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, There's nothing but twitchy stuff on the other end of the hallway and I've painted the thing. It's like a greasy dark red with other body parts and chunks. So that's a walking claymore mind is basically what it is. Kind of like the AK shotguns with the drums. You know, when's he gonna run out? Well, whatever he feels like it. And then he's gonna reload because you're probably not doing too well down on the receiving end and do it all over again. So it's not a bad solution. Meanwhile, again, Don, We'll see. We had one more question before you go. The thermal technology. When you pull the trigger, OK, this is an interesting question. Do we see a disruption in the image with the thermal? Is there anything that changes? Like does it kind of hesitate, reset? Does it fizzle? What does it do? When you pull the trigger, you just keep seeing the same images. There's something we should expect. We've had to take off. We've actually done that too. OK. Well, we'll find out. Actually, he said he had to scrub. Oh, okay. I missed, I'm sorry, I missed that because somebody was talking to my right ear while I was trying to listen on my left ear headphone here. Okay, there we go. Well, I'm gonna jam, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put him down on that question at eight o'clock, so it'll work out just fine for the eight o'clock hour. Wow. Cokesdistributing.com had a little piece that they just sent me as an email. Cokesdistributing on guns. They've got SKS's in and they've got them for a little bit of price from pretty much everybody else. Also, they have it on the front page here. No, they don't show it on the... Down at the bottom, they got all kinds of interesting stuff. Yeah, but it's all VC58 odds and ends goodies. They have SKS's for $3.59 a piece. No, that's not a $56 SKS anymore. But if you are looking for SKS carbines, let's see. It probably qualifies under cure. No, maybe, maybe not. I'm looking to see if they have it here. They do have them, but I just don't have it right here at my fingertips. Anyway, uh, let's... So I hate their page when it comes to stuff like this. Oh, wait, that... Here we go. Nope, it's twitchy. I hate you. I always hate pages that are twitchy. It should have them, but they are not showing... Having to try and piddle with something I shouldn't have to piddle with. Okay, here we go. Let's just do it this way. Does that know they have them? They just sent me a message unless they sold out just as quick? Oh, don't tell me. You did. I wouldn't be surprised. It was a better price than anybody else by about $60 to $100. So we can find anyway that's copedistributing.com, copedistributing.com, and of course that's one usually I mention as the surplus goodies. A lot of other neat stuff. And let me see if I can grab and pull the one of the reasons I like this. They do have the drums also. We talked about this years ago, it's not as re-economical as it was, but years ago making up either a baby dragon off out of the SKS or, provided the drums were available, making it into a squad gun. Now, the SKS can take a beating and it's got a 20 inch barrel on it, guys, with a spigot launcher or with a flash hider and they do make a couple of different ones through Tapco that are place the, and by a couple other companies to replace the spigot launcher on the UGO models, you are looking at a, here we go, that's weird because it's definitely coke distributing. Let's see if I can get to the SKS's now. Why? I couldn't find them on the page but, well, it connected me right away here. Anyway, you can go with a Zytel stock if you wanted or you can leave the original stock on it. Needles to say you're going to take the 10 round non-detachable magazine and disconnect that. You could drop the bayonet and replace that with a bipod. Leave the barrel the way it is. Leave the spigot launcher where it is. And add an optic to the rear if you want for ranging fire control or night vision. And you can come up with a pretty decent suppression fire gun. Put a heavy bipod on the front. There's a number of different ones that are an option. I've seen several ways that the solution using the Bannette stud is your best choice, rather than the stock. Going with the 75 round SKS duckbill drums that are available. Go with a dust cover replacement scope mount. The advantage is being able to use the shorter night vision devices if you choose. Short, you know, small power, low power scope. or conventional scopes with that scope mount, or going with the thermal. Now, the other thing is if you go with the Zytel stock or go over to the Plastique stocks, there's a number of different pistol grip models or a skeletal frame models that are relatively cheap right now, still about $40 a piece because the S-Cast is not as common as it was. Reconfiguring it, a 20 inch barrel, volume fire, squat automatic weapon, even though it's not automatic, remember your magic twitchy twitchy finger does the job. If you want to continue with more firepower, buy more of the 75 round drums and carry more than one of them. The other option is additional 30 round mags. There are some really well made steel mags that are using an AK type body. They got, I mean they got wise on that and just stuck with works. The AK type body duck bill mags, there's two or three models. One has a much more rigid duck bill for securing into the gun. It's not your first choice. I like the SKS just the way it is coming off the shelf. But to build up a couple other guns that are needed for a particular bridging process, for a squad gun, a suppression fire gun, the SKS would be a neat little package and it can take the abuse. The other cool thing, lots of spare parts. In fact, KOF has brand new Yugo barrels In the inventory, I just got this in the mail, in the email today guys. Hungarian AK Green Count Sling, they work with the SKS. 62 by 39, a SKS for $359.99, that's $360. You go SKS Virgin, 21 inch barrels for the SKS, $55 a piece. And that's at copesdistributing.com. The item number, let me give that out because it's funny trying to get these on the regular page. No, it's not cooperating. E3P-A2. 3P-A2, that's the number. These are brand new virgin barrels. They're in the white. So if you want to, again, switch out to a new barrel for the SKS, for the Yugo SKS, or maybe you've got one that's tired of urine, this would be an excellent solution. So you might want to check that out. That's at copesdistributing.com. Now they do have a few other SKS items. They've got SKS triggers for $10 apiece for a replacement. They have the SKS 75 round Korean, SKS 75 round drum mags with a duckbill. Don't know whether Centerfire has their sale going on on those. They've been up and down on those price-wise and $100 is where they've been hovering. And again, these are purpose-built drums. Nothing unique to write home about. I mean, very self-explanatory. I don't know how much you have to say about them nowadays, but there's many people having bought them as they have. The 75-round drum in general, they're steel. They're Korean. They work. OK? So there's your 75-round drum solution. And in addition to that, they do have a number of different bipods in their surplus section that are on sale and cheap right now. Now, as a sidebar. One of the other things that came in today with that was Lake City 556 55 grain tracer 200 rounds in the saw cans on the belt and it's not very likely very many of you do but if you have any of those semi-auto guns that are out there that are chain-fed in 223 they use the standard saw belt they don't use any unique or out breed belt. This is more ammunition for you these it's a 200 rounds of tracer that's kind of interesting it's loaded up the way it is. But if you want to paint a target, then this is where you're really splashing it to no end, $139.99 for 200 rounds. Plus you get the Saw Can, the Saw Transport Can, and it's all in length. So if you have funds that require that type of system, then this is a solution. And that's at copesdistributing.com. Plus, it's not a bad price for the tracer. You get the transport can, you get the belt links, which you might be able to trade out to somebody else if you know who's in the zoo. And $140 for 200 rounds of tracer is under $1 a round, and that's not bad. That's actually reasonable. So in and of itself, the ammunition is worth the purchase, and that's at copestistributing.com. Then go back to loading it up, four rounds of ball, one round tracer, and a little more sensible for you team leaders, on the other hand. For painting a target for suppression, something we've talked about, dumping three to five rounds on a target and everybody shoots, there's your 200 rounds of tracer to help support the project. So you can adjust your stowage and how you would set up your magazines accordingly. But that's at copesdistributing.com. Remember, it's $9.95 flat shipping for everything. No matter how much you pile up, it's $10 shipping and you really can't beat that. I will point out again, remember you can buy a case of those US military pistol belts which are excellent. I have bought four bundles of those already. Every one of them, there's not one of them that's questionable, none of them are broken, all of them are clean. Most of them almost look like they're new. So if you're looking for pistol belts, medium size, they have those in quantity in the bulk section and also in the regular site. for surplus $30 for $50, 30 US pistol belts for $50. If you're looking at putting a 4100 program together, there you go. Now you start collecting your Atlas suspenders. I just got a bunch of those for free. Somebody just threw out on the road here, got a whole pile and got a NATO pack and a bunch of other stuff for free. You're running them all over the place. Grab the suspenders, start putting pouches on there. Don't have to be a US M16 mag pouches. There's all kinds of other solutions. COPES has the 3-cell 20-round AK mag pouches for $100 for $100. If you were looking at bulk, again, if you're looking at building up a big formation or outfitting a whole bunch of people or sitting up a supply section, this is the way to do it. Pile here, pile there, and build up the inventory. but it's still ten dollars flat rate no matter how much you pile up there guys and they don't have any addendum that says, oh unless you buy this much there's nothing I've ever seen that's never changed so I don't know, you might get flooded if you want many many many many big piles of stuff They do have a couple of other things in the surplus section you need to look at. Again, I don't need to review every one of them, but if you shop around, you'll find they do have a few decent prices on individual things that kind of top off your inventory. And they still have, and I always harp on them, because your elbows get boo-booed. I've had some major boo-boos, okay, from on, you know, never busted anything completely, but close enough that When you have to fix that, it takes time to repair. Okay. Dollars are set for the elbow pads, coyote brown. By the way, we used to call it dough brown. You ever notice that? We gotta give it an aggressive, gotta give it some teeth. Deer have teeth. But instead of dough brown or dough skin brown, now we call it coyote. I was just thinking about that, looking at the colors, it's like, it's dough. It's deer, it's deer color, dough color, dough skin. No, no, no, we can't call it that. We have to call it coyote. because you are all right with coyote packs after doing the hunting and the fighting and the... Yeah, yeah, whatever. Okay. Again, the coyote brown, one cool thing about that, it blends in well with the Woodwind Camel stuff. If you've got a bunch of Woodwind Camel and you've got to throw a few dough slash coyote brown in there, it works. Also, they still have them on the Gun Show Special for $7 apiece. You buy 10 of the ASC Air 15, 223 mags, 30 rounders. It's $7 a piece, if you buy 10 at a time, $69.99, and they are brand new in the box. They do have the red orange follower. That's the only thing, which, not a big deal, I can live with that. $7 a mag makes it reasonable. Will I carry those? Yeah, I got a pile of those, as a matter of fact. If I hand you a mag from my AR-15 rigs, you are going to see every stinking mag ever made in the last 40 years. Everything from US Army, Action Arms and Colt mags. Ooh man, it's a Colt mag. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We used to have 50 million of them, remember. And when they threw them out, we picked them up and carried them home and carried them away. And so we have them cashed all over the state here. Action Arms, that's my favorite. Ooh, I felt like I was in a movie. I'm carrying an Action Arms magazine. DPL, A&L mags. Let's see, what else we got? Of course we have the Thermold mags up the Gee-Gee. Tons and tons of the 20 rounders and those work flawlessly and I stashed those all over the equipment. In fact, one of the things I was hoping to do, Nancy got a new sewing machine, and I've got the industrial here too, is stitching on a bunch of the individual mag pouches that are China sport on assault gear so that I can demonstrate kind of like a mini version of the, what the Brit would their Type 58 gear years ago. where everything had a spare 20 round mag pouch here and there and here. And yeah, they stuffed other things in it, but ideally the idea was that you took all those 20 round mags and distributed the weight all over the gear, so it wasn't all just pulling down the front of your equipment. It wasn't just pulling forward. And it was a smart idea. It helped to also alleviate some of the wobble tension on the shoulders because of the web gear and the way the assault rig worked. Same idea, there's a bunch of stuff at major surplus. They have some odds and ends, China Sport, nylon pouches, they're woodland camouflage. I've already had a bunch of them. They're serviceable enough. They're actually Chinese military. And they work. They're not fancy. They have a collection of them, a mix of them. I don't know how long before they run out. Maybe they'll run out as soon as we mention it on the air because maybe they'll pull them. Who knows? Because that happens with a couple of the companies. When we start buying the stuff, they All of a sudden the price goes up by 20-30% or by several dollars. So anyway, the idea is those are cool pouches for either doing a light duty rig, adding to the 40-10 program or your 5-10 program or whatever, and that's over at majorsurplus.com. So if we cherry pick from all these locations, pistol belts from COPES, Suspenders are cheapest over at Maine Military. Pouches from a mix of locations include Copes, Maine, and Major Surplus and all these others that I've mentioned. You can actually put a kit together for a number of people for a very, very reasonable price. Ideally, I haven't done it again recently, but I'd be willing to bet right now I could put a good assault rig together for under $12. The shipping will be the only issue with some of the companies. With Copes, I know I got a flat rate, and the more I buy, the cheaper it is. And again, usually it's not the price of the item, it's the shipping that kills you guys. That's the only I haven't checked with these computers, but I don't think it's going to be too outrageous. Hopefully we can get a couple of those over to Joe right away. I've got this stack of hard drives that's going to be there for him to figure out what to do with them. I'm just going to wrap back them up and maybe even ship those out tonight and have those in the system and on their way outbound, but before 11 o'clock if everything goes well. To raise your wrist the blades, a couple of the things real quick. I'm mentioning the weapons. Remember, center fire systems. Somebody asked me again, where are those 40 Smith and Wesson M&Ps? Those are over at centerfiresystems.com, guys. They're on the top of the scroll, at least they were. And as far as combat arms go, there's plenty of holsters out there for, you know, you can get either Smith holsters or you can get any number of different after market of every brand, everybody's making them. Bianchi, of course, I like them. If you're gonna buy brand new, Bianchi still makes pretty good stuff. And Sierra's been out there forever, I don't know if they're even making new or not, but both of those companies are established, they're good for supporting their stuff when they sell it, even if they do have some of the stuff built in China, or with China Sport companies, or Filipino companies, whatever. Back up on the equipment is pretty good. Bianchi, They used to have their sweatshots all here in the U.S. They do have some stuff in the Caribbean, which I'm sure are utility companies that do stuff for everybody. The 40 Smith & Wesson gun, lots of support. I would be willing to bet if you look around, I know I've got a pile of them here. 40 Smith & Wesson police holsters. Sheep, okay, they're all over the place. Yes, they still have them in stock. It's a surplus item. Smith & Wesson M&P, 40 S&W, police trading pistols comes with the gun. comes with a carry box and it comes with three magazines. And they're serviceable. There's nothing wrong with them. A lot of guys like them. I know a lot of you guys that are Marines and the Colonial Marine units are carrying the 40S and W. In fact, this is a very model right here. That's how I heard about the limitation about available magazines, that mags were harder to get for the 40 than they were for the 9. But a lot of the guys purchased the M&Ps in 40. Magazines are kind of loosening up probably because of the surplus like we're seeing here. And so that makes them very, very, very useful. They are a comfortable gun. I'll tell you what, the other one, like I said, they're comparable. Yeah, I know people aren't going to like this. But the SIG grip and the 40 grip are very, very close. The SIG P226. The 26 has a little more chunk to it width-wise. But, general feel of both of those guns is pretty decent. Again, yeah, if you were to compare, I'd say the Sig would go up towards the Beretta in terms of bulk in the grip. It has a little less width to it, which for the average hand out there, is going to be a little easier to control. And typically is why a lot of people like it, because it's a little narrower, a little easier to carry, a little easier to conceal. Still a good combat service pistol to put on your hip and it's definitely out there in force. And for $300 a piece, well in reality if you're being charged about $20 a mag, let's figure that, well in reality you're paying $260 for the gun and you get a couple of mags for a regular price. Because that $20, you know, $19.95 or $19 seems to be the benchmark for all the used mags. That's what the market is pretty well established on the retail end, okay? uh... before you go too far i've had packages returning guys and i had another one come in from colin out of boulder colorado and it says here attempted to return to center attempted uh... let's see attempted but not picked up or uh... not known unable to forward so for colin in boulder colorado your packages back here in my hands again and this is uh... quite extensive address to as you know And I know I wrote it down right and it's verbatim the way that it was posted to us so we've got a package for you.
