Constitution no the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense It's tyranny not to hunt yourself on the police anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead everybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless people that want to literally create the proven Plents are killed called gun-free zones. We're gonna politicians get cool. It's fashion in the head That seems to work out keep together stay shop and follow me and a dream the other night that well, I didn't understand 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. But 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 and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money'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 use 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 sick numbers and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be there. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As Iowoc, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? On the plains of hesitation lie the blackened bones, countless millions. Who at the dawn of victory sat down to rest? resting died good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report amark kirky one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories southwest north south and east listening to us on liberty tree radio dot four m g dot com liberty tree radio on the satellite and we are on a m f m micro stations c b base stations and ultra net hallmark in golden spike technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska good afternoon to all of our friends out there were forty nine including the great state of jefferson along with colors the Outline to States and Territories and the Clock. It is 5.06 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is...no way, yes way, it's Weapons Wednesday. And it is the 5th of May. It is the 13th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. 2021 Old Earth Calendar 2021. battle for the republic dance of sorts and let the battle begin all kinds of exciting stuff going on and it is weapons wednesday uh... you are the weapons platform first of all the individual is the key to the overall campaign and so you need to tweak yourself you need to actually square yourself away know what you need to do get it done to be ready to jump off when the time comes as a minimum and perfect for the malicious in the first place across the board no matter the threat were supposed to be ready to go not the government government worthless ninety nine percent of the time they won't do it this post to it when they do it will be against american people not against our the enemies of the american people that's who they're working for if the enemy of the american people nowadays so we got thirty thousand mobile cares with it ten twenty thirty thousand troops on the on the ground in washington d c because the perceived enemy of the occupation communist forces american people that simple so break break my radio stream still on music and ed might want to check with you for future good you might want to refresh remember also be a good idea check your system and refresh on good every day a lot of times it's uh... the tweakiness of the machine and i don't care where you are right now just as a sidebar on that note guys i have been talking to people from a lot of different walks like just a few minutes ago tell me the same thing every operating system they have is screwed uh... especially with all the spyware updates that have taken place i was just talked to another company here about thirty minutes ago uh... physically i was talking to somebody or individuals like yeah every system we've got a glitching everything everything We're not you know everybody laughs. I'm laughing at everybody now It's like the Corona beer virus scam and all the other garbage going on, but it's this is the 21st century Well that ain't nothing to brag about fool Old earth American technology or even older American with more Japanese and even Taiwanese stuff was better than the garbage produced by our enemies the communist Chinese any day Okay, bottom line, so everybody's having glitching problems. If you have a problem with Connect, refresh, and you might even have to refresh again. I think what they're doing here is they're just cutting back on, it's like zero replacement. It's what we've talked about in the cable industry, and it's caught up now, I think, with the internet technology problems, which also ties into the cable industry. uh... guided a correct or at the blade it when you get a cable system out there understand that they have to be amplifiers on amplifiers on amplifiers on amplifiers and when you're stretching out you keep building keep building keep adding you keep building keep adding it's the latest the greatest way but we bought a different model we've got the child to belong we all four thousand as opposed to the you know shong kao boy uh... you know to two hundred versus the uh... you know king you know king kong mong dao you know sixteen before that anyway the whole idea is that the newer is better now it's just a period of making a cheaper the strip the wire smaller they make the circuit repunk a junk and for a moment for a little while the operationally it's gonna sound the same but the drop off is very quick and what's happening is they know again we know about the microprocessor and all the other you know the component in assembly sub assembly systems and raw materials that are simply not being made available but Even if they were there, the quality of the china crap has been consistent since it came out. As in, 80% sometimes lower, but 80% mostly works. 10% works kinda, but you're gonna swear at it once in a while. And 10%, you only swear at once when you pull it out of the box and you find out it just doesn't work no matter what you do to it. Well, that's in all of the industry. It used to be it was in the flippant population like the, you were buying bargain basement, that's fine. But this has gone through the whole of the system because bargain basement, if they can get away with it, whatever they do means whoever's in charge gets to steal more cash out the back door rather than spend it on the supportive infrastructure. And don't worry, it's not just cable. It's universities, it's the military, it's colleges, it's factories manufacturing of newer stuff done by a punk a junk like the israeli trash coming in and taking over companies we're going to do like they did to germany before world war two or like after world war one before world war two same routine that's what the kosher mafia is doing here in the u.s. piffn on this country the exact same way with all the little buck buddy communist from wherever they are plopped down on the planet So, again, it's a hoot and a laugh that's a 21st century. However, I'm going to point something out. This is going to come back, and it is biting him in the butt already. It's just like the coronavirus virus scam. How many of you even bother talking to people that have face... In fact, here's the judging system. If you see a person with a double face mask on, you aren't even going to think about talking to them, are you? They're so far around the corner, they can't see the last two crazy town insanity corners they passed, right? So those fools are totally out of your list, but think about this. That's that many more people you don't have to waste time with. Now the next step is that you are, they're wearing the commercial face mask because they're trying to look cool. So they got the black one, so you can't see the sputum, the phlegm and the trash piling up on it. Or do they have a custom cup one, which is of course cool, but still it comes down to if I want to see that you put it into a bra with two cups and put it on a girl and I'll look at it. Otherwise you're not impressing me. Okay. Just a face bra. Only thing I'd tell them is to get the hell out of my way. Well, you might not even have to do that because they're so paranoid they're like to have a magic force field of fear around themselves and they, they, they, they, they balk at you. So you're pretty cool there, remember that? They're just like, ahhhhhh! Bug eyes, remember they get the bug eyes? They breathe hard. They lean back, the upper body leans back like they're gonna save themselves with that two or three extra inches from the coronavir virus claw that they've told exists everywhere around every person. Oh my god! So you know that that stupid person is another one you're not going to basically be dealing with. And then you've got the peripheral where, well there's two things. Either A, they just figure, well I'm gonna replace the paper mask, but I'm still kind of, you know, they have the religiosity of the mask, but they are doing the paper throwaway thing. Okay, that's possible. But you can judge that by, when they come out of the store, they desperately cling to the mask and keep it on all the way out to the car, and then shut the air seal, you'll lock the door. And then finally take the mask off, cause, oh, they feel safe. now if they get the car they don't take the mask off all there on the checklist of yet they don't talk to that full so it makes it it's made it so much easier to find the real people out there as opposed to the shallow house or than or the again so far around the corner crazy county on your right ache Neurotic hypochondriacs with paranoid tendencies that are, you know, basically one step away from truly wearing every day a body condom. Okay, over the whole person. Look like one big wiener hopping down the street. That's what they need. That's what they have without near pockets. And therefore the body condom would only be good for so many hops and then... you just find a bunch of dead weenies on the ground, male or female weenies, and you just roll them over into the bring out your dead cart and ship them on down the road for lack of oxygen. Not because they died of any disease, for lack of oxygen. But then again, they can be talked into it by, because look what they've been talked into already. It would not be hard, not at all, okay? So anyway, the big thing here is again, the technology is no different with all of their support technology, and think about this. he who steps away from most of the dribble and just starts working real-time real-earth wins. I want you to remember that everything you do you first need to know the basics if you're working like right now for instance I've got to practice a little bit with the non-motor hand tools like the saws, awls, and planers that I have because I'm getting, first of all I need to wear them up because you don't want to rust. But the other thing is that I need to practice my skills because it's been a long time I've been Rick Helst to turn in that. I have been a myth in that. So I'm having to fix that, which is something I was doing just before the program here. I had to get my hands cleaned off because oiling up blades and cleaning up all the working surfaces and making sure everything's got a coat of high-grade lubricant on it, that was done with just one little part of a project. If I get a whole tailgate full of stuff, I've got to get put away after the two-hour block here. The big thing is, again, the getting away from the technology most of it is what's going to make for a win on our side much in the same way that we're seeing the failures with regard to the corona beer virus face mask uh... and all the other scams and garbage and travel that bill people drink the kool-aid bought into the shallow people this is great at the first significant great divide the other one's gonna be and can you do something are you able to do something do you know how to so do you know how to you know how to manufacture something do you know how to actually have the original tools another project i'm on and i just got a benefit for that you this yesterday is like i said uh... cobbler my grandpa one of the many many many jobs he had my that had many jobs to i'd word to do the same thing is like a put your mind to it you can do it uh... but i want to fiddle part with you know some sure repair because i know there are certain tricks especially coming out of the depression my grandpa taught me and i have all the tools now i have every i just picked up more stuff yesterday for free just about of might well be and uh... now i've got everything i need to do set up a little cobbler shop i just need some logs no chance a lot of the few other tools that mail everything to a man i've got everything set up to go And from this point forward, it's another thing I need to start practicing at. I need to work at. Now, a little trick. One of the things I've wanted to work on there, this is part of your, you know, you guys all should be thinking ahead. I want to experiment with and see what best adhesives would work in using car tires as souls. Because that's going to be the one thing available to, you know, because the depression, okay, you know, they didn't do it with the depression. They didn't use old tires. I mean, eventually they did use them for other stuff. Everything was reused. Nothing got thrown away. But you don't hear much about the idea of using tire for shoe repair, but it's something that worked quite well. And again, remember, you do the cutout. Here's where the new world meets the old world. Before it was all hand cutting, and I do have all the hand tools. I've got all the scraper's cutters, the offset saws with all of the spacers. You can go around the sole and cut it from the other sole. but uh... example if i could do that electric and do it faster but a bunch of troops if i got somebody i need to repair a bunch of junk on that i gotta have more than just the repair parts i am been true i've got in spare leather or you know new print soles and all the other fun stuff that i've been collecting over the years from a little group project here somebody stopped doing a you know hobby over there i gotta be ready to go the next step but i could told you all the same thing you've got to be ready with as many different skills as possible as much as anything you will need them for your own purposes Okay, but that's one that I want to get into and deal with pegging shoes I know how to do it my grandfather showed me and my grandfather even pointed out some footwear that I bought myself and it's like I didn't realize he looked at those but the boots that I picked up he goes you know how much those it cost if you had to make those and it's like no Let me show you something here and then he walked right through the construction of what really was about a three four hundred dollar pair of boots and but i got for five dollars you know because it was a report from the Swedish military but having to make them they were the highest grade highest quality back in the day probably an officer set and they were from a real surplus way that came in back in the late seventies early eighties which is kind of cool anyway you all need to kill and you need to practice those kills if you can do anything get under the hood wrench on the vehicle without destroying your primary transportation you need to be practicing that now here's where the twentieth and twenty-first century kind of roll together in that if you don't know how to do it remember that is what the all the video tracks are really good for that are out there on you to bit shoot all the other places there's a lot of technical information there that you could look at i may not want to trust all of it or you might look at several videos you'll see differences of opinion on but the basic information is there if you can watch somebody do it you've got it in the brain pan you've got it in the lumber yard this is also true of weapons maintenance because this is weapons wednesday That's why I told you watch every stinking old military training video you can. There's a bunch of them out there on the Browning, on the M250 caliber, on mortars, going back to World War II, through to the Korean War, to Vietnam, even to Desert Dust Part 1, the adventure begins, and Desert Dust Part 2, we're stealing some more stuff. with that being the case there is the excellent training aid there because if you see it it's in the brain pan maybe you won't remember everything but if you remember most of it you're a hell of a lot closer to the mark than your fumble screw the dark and guess so i can emphasize enough you will play with the computer you want to watch videos are you can entertain yourself for a minute here and there are like a play readers digesting jump from one thing to the next intentionally to test the brain keep the brain gears going always every night i watch at least six technical videos at least uh... one of the things that the big debate with its weapons wednesday although i'm a kind weapons wednesday here of the mark turbo fifty caliber rifle the book the other day it's pretty straightforward happened have to do with the munitions and and now that i heard and probably operator what was going on uh... it was a flat round that caused the problem and it may have been a modified flap round fifty caliber slap anybody remember the flat browns Well, here's something I'm, yeah, I don't know that all of them are even recalling, but I do because I kind of, I got a good memory, okay? Years ago, you might recall, we talked about this when we were building the Mottie-Griffins 30 years ago, okay, back in the 90s. All of the .50 caliber operators that were in the know, and if Don were here, he could jog everybody's memory on the process too, because we covered this on the air. that the slap rounds were not as efficient going through the muzzle compensators that we have on most all of the shoulder fired 50s now the slap was it was used to a degree in the Barrett in the in the military contract configuration that they got uh... and it was certainly used in the fifty caliber m2 mob do in its single-shot capacity uses an individual placement shooting weapon and could even be used backed up because it's a whole latest round if you start put it down range on target however the result that were described by the shooter by the the guy who uh... was a come out of kentucky tactical or something like that for you better why not sticking with his name on that one either but it's uh... the gentleman has got several videos up on youtube where he's personally talking about what happened and he has a video is dead was videotaping his shooting but he goes step by step through the use of the rounds The flap rounds had problems and one of the reasons that it had an issue going through the Barrett and other 50 caliber muzzle compensators, it had a tendency, although it was supposed to be a very accurate round, it had a tendency because of this to float. Remember we've talked about the interaction with the base of the case and as it moves down the barrel when it leaves the barrel leaving the crown. Well, remember, a compensator is not a uniform distribution of gas, is it? If it was a flash hider, you would have a uniform distribution of thrust to the back of the weapon, and then as it leaves the crown, even though it's going through that flash hider, the energy is distributed through five, six, or even seven or eight different slits. that are designed to dissipate the energy of the blast and narrow it so that from the front, looking at the gun that just shot that round, it is harder to define where the shot came from. That's why a flash hider's built the way it is. But a compensator is a very different story because what are you doing? You're making a retro rocket. If you don't think so, what is the problem? A muzzle compensator is taking the energy available at the end of the muzzle and moving it a particular direction to create a retro thrust, reducing the felt recoil to the shooter. So one of the things that we had a problem with were these slap rounds, and I think I have probably 180 rounds, I've got 180 slap rounds at our actual factory, we have slap rounds made for the donut of destruction. And of that, we've always held them back because we do have two different families of 50 calibers out there and because of that little issue, with a compensator, it would vary depending on which one. And remember, if you look, several of these 50 caliber shooters basically mimic each other anyway. There isn't a whole lot you can really do to change other than the image, you know, how it looks to the silhouette, but as far as what it does mechanically, it has to do the same thing between each gun over and over and over again, no matter which pattern it is, because it is directing energy. Okay? So, it is most likely, again, it's not just, it wouldn't necessarily have to be that the slap round was... miss loaded which it could have been they could have pulled the bullet everybody always like i've told you this and warned you about this many times everybody thinks they want to drive the ball up to the energy up as far as they can write to the limit near the dirty harry syndrome magnum And this is something you always have to pay attention to when you're working with other ammunition that is manufactured but is not in the regular train. We rebuild ammunition and we know exactly what we do with it. And as I've told you before, we go middle management. We go middle weight on all of the loads. If we build a special load, if you've ever worked with me, you know. if i do test loads for instance and i was doing fifty and we had we have the projectiles to make a slap mimic ground paid in the mix lap okay let's not get right ahead anyway if i did we will experiment i've done this many many times i've done this for decades of the starter reloading and because they came from i think a different school of thought makes a background family because they were in precision everything uh... when we do test batches we actually color color code them there is no possibility of confusing one round from the next argues a lacquer enamel paint or all you sharpies and we color code at the cantilever and with the primer base uh... a group of five test bed loads you know a group of i've been the next one will be read one will be green that will be black that's what we blew uh... in pomegranate pews pink you know you know whatever But the idea is that you take the using these different colors, there is no confusion when you have a rack of say multiple test loads that progressively go up in cup pressure because we've obviously changed up the powder charge. We've loaded it up higher. Now we're not talking about extremes because usually when I do tests like this will only go a half grain or one grain and typically half grain is sufficient and we still I will never go off the chart. until we've got a full test of whatever it is we're working on. 30 caliber carbine, 762 by 54R with the new bullet or with the new powder or unique powder that we've manufactured because we make powder. When we make powders, we actually test batches and we do progressive tests including chronographing the rounds. It's not hard. It used to be, they used to be the most expensive process because you could get a chronograph, but it was about $1,200. Today that is not the case today you can actually have all the cool tech and again because this slave made China sport So you can get the basics for pretty reasonable price and even set up a small reloading shop. That's quite efficient Now when I fire five rounds, we're looking for print, but you remember I've told you this many times when I'm loading a certain round Nowadays I can do with cameras but in the past I would also be the I would observe the gun and not concern myself with the print with the shooter You know words, where's the bullet hitting? My concern is action and operation. When you pull the trigger on a weapon and you're testing a new charge, you're first of all going to want to watch muzzle flash. You're going to also watch, again, around the receiver area for any backwash or anything else might be going on. It's telltale and distinctly because you get little parts of smoke or whatever, little parts of carbon, which happens with many guns anyway. You just don't realize it. if you're using a different kind of powder you end up with different power responses especially manufacturing because we are doing smokeless but we are doing an earlier era of smokeless so just like the russian ammunition members coming on the wall stuff here several years ago man you fired up for that stuff with a hundred men in training live fire i've got a video and it's like you're the muscle loading match you've got powder residue piling up on all in the air okay that you can physically see with cameras and smokeless is supposed to be, well, let's just say, there's less of a dirty discharge, but what that means is the Russians are using a cheaper grade of powder to get the job done, and you're typically not standing in one place if you're in the attack or if you're maneuvering. so it's not going to be a total but with your firing you have multiple shooters in relays in one spot which we've we've got images of you know sixty people at a time hundred people at a time some of you seen some of these videos actually there on youtube a couple of little snippets of them and uh... in the process with that kind of with that fire uh... again you will have to be a demonstration that quality or the type of powder use it's one of the that one of the great suspicion about what they're using Now, as you move up the dial, I'm still watching, what I want to combine are two things. I want to minimize, I want to improve, obviously, print performance downrange. But I also want to minimize flash if I'm building around for tactical purposes. And this is where the balance is, because you want it to the point where you can still accept, I consider acceptable, a microjet of maybe a half of an inch burn out the end of the tube. we're not talking a big muzzled flare a lot of you guys have seen that part of the reasons because many of the weapons you're using the ammunition you're using you've got a shorter weapons or shorter barrels of the weapon you have is a shorter barrel to give example model ninety one nagat versus the carbine well go pull the trigger at one of those side by side at that towards twilight you know towards you once getting darker in the day look at the gun don't look at the rate don't look down range the operators look down range and you compare notes how much more unburned powder leaves the muscle of that carbine? Well, your AR-15s are no different. Almost all of your loads are calculated for the 20-inch, and traditionally still have been, especially your 55 grain loads, for the 20-inch standard A1 or A2 barrels. Now, you shorten to a 16 or you start using pistol barrels, guess what you're going to get? or muzzle flash. Now what you can do is dial that down. Now you're going to lose maybe a few, not even a few hundred, probably 80 to 100 feet per second. You can dial back the center load. and still end up with comparable performance, comparable penetration, but you can restrict or reduce that muzzle flash right there at the source, which again is a battlefield enhancement. The other thing is you're saving powder. You're going to shave back whatever percentage of a grain or up to and including a grain of powder to get the performance you want. You're dialing back, but to do that, first we have to go up the scale from just below center, through center, and top, and then we judge. If I can use and get more energy, but still dial it back because I can change the formula up, then I'm going to do that. If I can get a little off, I still want more energy going down range. I want to slap them, I want to beat them, I want to hit them harder. I need penetration. Everybody's got body armor out there that's my enemy. And if I do hit that, I want to try and at least put as big a ding in as I can. Now with 223 light rifle, all the light rifles, the light rifle round, the 5.56, it's a mix as far as what I'm going to get in weight performance. On the other hand, with the 7.62x51 NATO or with the .30 caliber M1 round, or M2, forgive the other, .30 caliber .30-06 slash the M2 .30-06 round. I'm going to get sufficient penetration with standard factory, but I might want to improve or reconfigure with different bullets and or different powder and even increase velocities because both the case and the action can take it. And when it gets down range, I'm not just probably going to ding him. I'm probably going to go through somewhere. I'm going to go out the back end where the other plate is, but I'll probably get through the front without any problem. Okay? anyway tell we're going to do edward if you can work about a minute or we have a traditional weapons wednesday probably our break when played enough recently we need to do that would be religious on our end so for everybody out I come from on your niche, you're far me little arbalite I was not by a soldier, he said you are swine He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the grind I fed and I bladed all my monarchs were blind All the time I'm thinking of me little arbalite And it's down in the wrong side, it's where I long to be Lying in the dark with the provo company A company on the left and another one on the right And a clip around the engine for me little army life Well this brave car you see man, ya marching off our street 600 frees, old jersey hat lines up out his feet, count out ya cart Come on out and fight, he's tried to only jokin' When he heard the arbalight on his down in Palahi, where I long to see Lion in the dark with a probable company A cuspid on his left and another one on his right A cusp of ammunition for the liberal arbalight Well the army came to visit me, was in the early hours With Saratins and Saladin and Ferris armor charged, Stopped a hot new cornered and put a gift of all of flight With a army piercing full of salt, me little army like Panasonic The new log is right on to me, Lying in the dark with the global company A company that I may live, and another one on me right I clip of ammunition for me little arm of light. Well, when fire came, the generals they had to stop them on the run. But corporals, while on patrol at night, they remember narrow water and the bloody arm of light. And it's down across the glen, it's very long to name a little arm. We are back, a clip of ammunition for me little arm of light. Now somebody said that may not have been the M16 they were talking about. Well, it was an armillite rifle. And yeah, they did last through a few of the A1s through the five finger discount process over in Europe against NATO. American weapons were stolen. Of course, the English had the AR180-M18 as we knew it. That is the armillite AR180 in the civilian sector. The Brits made it, the Japanese made it, and we made it. uh... that rifle was a uh... sniper weapon that was in the hands of the british military and constabulary and it got ripped couple of times for the five-finger discount and that ended up in the ira's hands in addition dude peter at op-to well man this is a good stop do you know he beat or you want to show the air up and that you have why i have a friend because some of the views we could say that we don't start a r-10 from the made a lot of the used to all the appear yeah from the dutch army now where we could lose that and and they'll give us cash man and but it would only shoot a rifle that we were the dutch army man Yeah, that's how it was back in the day. Everybody forgets that. They've kind of straightened out a little bit. But you might recall that the Dutch were the ones that, you know, freed free drugs. But and again, no cutting your hair. And so they were very, let's just say kind of Byzantine in some ways. Well, or, you know, let's just say Bohemian. There we go. Anyway, the Dutch lost a lot of AR-10s and some of those slid sideways and ended up over in the Irish Republican Army's hands. Oh, yes, they did. So, when near that little clip from my armolite, well, it was in many cases the M16A1 or an AR, a regular AR, or an AR180, or an AR10 from Holland slash Nederland. So, you never know. And there are quite a few other odds and ends that cropped up with whatever you could find. but the uh... arm like uh... remember the air cannot was adopted by holland and it's colonies so that's another world's rifle who was floating around before you start making them once again here in america the way that we did and do today weren't for the Dutch you probably wouldn't have that's kind of weird but if weren't for the Dutch you probably wouldn't have the AR-10 and or at least not the way we have it now in any good numbers it would have taken longer for it to become an interest and an issue and it was the parts kits from Holland that made it affordable to start building AR-10 receivers and then the rest is history as I say. A couple of things here real quick I mentioned scheduling what I do with when you're testing rounds you're also writing down everything needless to say both Using a loading tray, or as I mentioned, five rounds. Typically you can find a number of different loading trays. What you do is you will line up the rounds active and what you do is take the same color code, tapered to the side, put the same color bar on the side so there's no confusion, and then register on your paper, on your little logbook, each color what it represents for bullet weight for powder powder type and charge what charge you know you're at that particular moment say with your little group of five red now this is for initial test and it again this is where you also bagged rest the gun or you can write you know price wrapped there are gun devices you can buy for you know test no test format shooting especially if you've got a gun you've done maintenance on you don't want to necessarily trust to hold it Those can be used also, there's a number of different options including what are basically bench rest frames. Whatever you do, you want to rest the gun because we're trying to see what kind of initial performance we can get and for that reason the shooter also needs to take their time. We're not trying to spray and pray, there's no competition here in terms of speed. The idea is to see what we can get out of that load in terms of, again, visual signature. uh... sound is not an issue you're pretty good at the computer matter what and it's going to probably be hyper-sonic although you can go the other way to start dialing down to sub sonic that's another issue altogether uh... but again you're also well paying attention to a looking to see what kind of a spread you get with the initial prep with five rounds and that's not too extreme uh... it's within reason that you're if you understand the nature of the uh... shooter uh... in the performance of the operators so the gets i get somebody behind the government knows what they're doing uh... that you can go through the process of uh... identifying what is the most desirable of the uh... series of projectiles and powder charges that you put together and yet somebody's asking to primers make a difference will of course they do you know either standard or primer uh... standard or magnum primers are out there now at this point in time because of a lack of availability you're gonna probably take what you can get i know that but happening because what i guys we've had that conversation till three in the morning uh... recently about well what we have is what we have so We need to remember that if you are going to use a certain load and you are going to switch over to a Magnum primer, you want to do a test batch and you want to see how it prints and you might be able to dial back a little bit, your powder weight, not much, maybe a little. And if you do, or you may just like it where you might just like it right where it is, but you do want to test if you're going to be using a unique primer separate from the formula you already had before with whatever it is you're building. no matter what if it's your personal rifle whatever so that's just another heads up everything affects the pretty everything affects the flight of the bullet always remember that everything every element of what you do to the brass to the primer uh... with the primer what type of primer what type of powder is obvious to me there's a quarter copia there's a variable rainbow of powder that made out or not all useful for the one what you might be loading In bullets, it's the same way. And then there's the range of baseline types of bullets, and then there's the sub, you know, how many different variants on the type of jacketed bullet or semi-jacketed or lead cast bullets, you know, factory or homemade, take your pick. So that's all part of the formula too, yes. Anyway. Go ahead, Carl, jump in there. Yeah, I can't find any primers for my rifles. The only one that's shorted, you know, shortage there too. Well, you know, again, what it comes down to is the same thing we had happened in the 90s because the, again, if the consumption rate goes up for loaded rounds, then they prioritize the primer count, whatever they produce, no matter how much, towards, you know, new manufacturing ammunition. And the priority is that most of those companies usually sell us the primers are the companies that make the ammo. uh... so they're more concerned with keeping their you know the big customer base of the big profit going with the uh... loaded ammunition not that shows is what i've always mentioned but you know another one to check at lantic uh... they did get some ammunition in the other day and they also do re-loading supplies as far as i know so it might take it and when it comes to what they have and the reason is uh... let's see at lanticool to we had a look at the quite come up to anything your palm edo is why haven't checked recently i was thinking about that i have enough you guys might have noticed that you mentioned palm edo very much at all on the air recently uh... one of the reasons that i was mentioning before that was when we were looking at the reasonably priced parts kits i've got to mean they don't have reloading supplies they do so we've we should keep a high on palm edo problem everybody else's so what we're looking for is uh... it will be that one of palm edo maybe maybe not They don't have any sales, not on primers. You know that. See if we got anything. Oh, they might. I'm going to have to ask them to take time. It might as well. They're another one. They're always takes forever to go through their page. But yeah, I was just I was looking for the 7.62 large rifle military primers. I just, I can't get them. I mean, I'm up here up north and I usually go to Jay's, but they got nothing up there. I mean, their store is empty. Yeah. Everybody, because everybody's tripping the police bear. And again, that's the only other thing is there used to be a couple of Chicago companies. And I was like, I've said to them, we're gone. I know there's not a Paragon is long gone. I think, well, let me look, you know, Paragon sales, Paragon sales, let's see if they've come back online. I have not looked at them in a while and Paragon used to be Paragon sales and marketing out of Nebraska Paragon somebody bought the name Paragon sales. They're definitely not back up and online But there's all the companies that were out of Chicago on the central west side pretty decent buys But I have not heard anything about them and I just I just bought check myself as Paragon sales Paragon. Well, let's just see if maybe they had to go to other page that they were under for a while came back paragon up there was just do that but they're the only thing like i said i've i've been watching for primers and pretty much uh... whole companies have gone under you know that uh... have i mean i'm offering anything now all you know what j g sales was going to be sales over what were the shopping mode here j g people dot com was going to be sales dot com you have a good question here let's see what primers we can find And again, JG sales. See if we can find primers or reloading. Let's see. Here we go. We got our reloading stock in. And components and reloading equipment. Let's go to components. Brass cases, bullets, shot shell components. Okay. Well, brass cases. I need primer. Well, let's go over to brass cases and see what it says. All products, 100%. All. Yeah. Yeah. what they say about bullet bullets in your list go see what the bullets are like on their center let's go with thirty caliber thirty two what we have been bullets they only have nozzle or they only have two flavors of nozzle or thirty caliber period otherwise they're out well and again that like you said that the problem now you know here's the other thing uh... by I'm not going to be bad or mean and point figures and go there, they're denying us. But I would say I personally believe that the big companies, the government's gone to them and said, you know, roll back and don't produce so much because we don't want the peasants really having that much. And they've done it before. I'm just to me, I can't see the commies not doing that. The FBI are traitors. We know that these other agents helping with the globalist to get done with, you know, wanting to do. I was me if they've already gone to them and said, roll back. But let's do this. We're going to go with a search section on JG sales just in case because I don't want to leave them out. Nope. Well, they do have some dyes. Hey, Mark. That's about it. Looks like a good call. Jump in there, please. Nice. John from Kentucky. You mentioned Standard Magnum. There's a third. Oh, yeah. Branch Rest Count. Well, Precision. Yeah, that's a final Precision. I use a lot of those. And again, if you can get it, that's another part of tightening up the group. Well, seriously. I've had mine for a long time. You know, I used to bomb the big box of 5,000. Well, here's a question. Since we're on primers, any place that you can recognize it or a caller could go to for a larger rifle? I haven't bought anything in 10 years. I squirreled away a lot a long time ago and I'm just living off of past inventory. Well, if you have something I had a conversation with, it's like you realize how many primers we've put away. And somebody else looked at me and they, because, you know, how many 50 caliber cans we loaded and loaded. and load it. I use five gallon metal cans. Well, you know, and again, the big thing is that as long as we keep it sealed and out of the environment, and also date it so that, you know, use the oldest first. Just start for the, you know, bottom of the pile. That's how you do it, guys, just like canned goods and anything else. Just make sure it'll be good. We, of course, when we really get into kicking things off, putting stuff down range, we're going to go through everything pretty quick because you will be using it, and somebody will be using it. uh... i don't think you can feel having any primers just as a heads up for everybody on our subject there anything else quite a bit more please i think that'll that cover about everything i just wanted to reminds you that there was of interest by my hand you know bentra was a special did not was it still out there but bentra was one of those situations where again it fully tied into the wildcat community guys and most of the rounds we now consider the norm it's just like the latest family of stuff really there they may not have used the term but they started out as wildcats they started out as unique somebody said i'll hopefully do this and this and uh... r c b s and any of these companies i don't know what we're doing anymore uh... they should do but if you give them the specs for a chambering they'll build you a diet that All you do is send them the print. You tell them what the specs are for the case. And by God, they'll make it for you. It's like Douglas. What barrel do you want? Whatever barrel you want, we'll make. That's what Douglas used to do. They're axiom, you know, how many feet do you want? Now, what do you want? How many feet of that do you want? Just tell me what you want to build. And whatever landing groove you want, whatever combination for your rifling pattern, hexagonal, they would do those. I've seen everything from Douglas and in fact the one of the first 50s I ever was associated with, I've mentioned this many times, was a big but, we still have a bunch of them, the gentlemen started making them back in 1979, 1980, and it's a big but Remington Rolling Block system. and the first one I ever shot was out of a second floor window facing north here in Michigan. He said, come up to the gun room. I went upstairs and I got up to the third floor. He opens up, before we do anything, he opens up the two bay windows that go out and fold to the side and I'm looking to 40, about a good 800 yards, and he goes, and then he goes over to the table in the middle of the room and he pulls the cover off and Here's this Remington rolling block with about a five foot barrel and the compensator, what he was using for muzzle compensators at that time because they were cheap, we got them for $1.50 apiece, were the boys anti-tank muzzle compensators. The boys compensators, you get them from SACO for $1.50 apiece or from Gun Parts Corp for $2.80. That's not a rifle, it's an artillery piece. i'll tell you what i like it was so damn heavy or fifty calvary to the right to show what you make a little this was so heavy that he had that compensated such a fine job when we will that table over and lock their lock the wheels and i got my little but behind it in my my younger kind and behind i'll tell you what that was most part of it had got up to that point i was almost what i'd had shoot a rifle right there how was the concussion coming off of the muggle break Well, on that, it was, you know, again, like I said earlier, the math formula for the 50s are pretty much the same. It was 50, it went, oh, for about 45 to 50 degrees left and right. And with the longer, with the longer barrel, really didn't get any less discharge, but the backwash, because the way he set up the window, because he was shooting out of that second floor attic for years. perfectly attuned you know didn't blow out your drums inside course we're all wearing we're we're wearing industrial ear muffs didn't have the ones like you have now all that are they're normal but that's where they came from we had from the shop and uh... so we were well protected but your poor we put ear plugs in and put the earmuffs on to be safe only would have needed one protection or the other as far as the ball back it didn't cut anything outside i would have probably done like you can't be doing nowadays uh... you probably would have watered up the area in front of who was dusty you know just to make sure you didn't real bring too much of a signature to it but you know being the longer barrel and i don't know what i think it emphasizes everything guys more barely got the less powder there is leaving the end of not burned and with that much longer barrel of the amount of of unburned powder, the muzzle flash was a minimal signature, no worse than firing an OTT-6, a 1903 Springfield or a 1917 Enfield. That was about the size of the muzzle flash out of the end of that gun. Okay. No, no, go ahead, I'm sorry. I know that the concussion wave coming off of my M99 is pretty good. It's pretty strong. No, I'm going to get to the right or left of you. No, you might want to be behind me. Behind. Forget the sides. you know you have waited across the law and blown the park off the law yup yup exactly well i get that's why we were talk about teams rather than running the fifties in the team you put them in the weapons section or understand that you need a walk to or three or two to two matter three men team uh... of the security man of the defendant and ammo carrier the shooter and then the bar a diamond or you know like for example forgive me a pyramid you're not left and right of the gun guys you're back into the left back into the right yeah I don't want you don't be out to the sides because the that like you said that backwash from that muzzle compensator is going to be quite brisk it's a physical slap if you're in the way of it it truly is yeah I'm you could feel it in yeah in your chest is like oh my yeah oh yeah your gun barf down me uh... out yet it's an anti even worse now well that's the thing is that again we were we were engaging a targeted eight hundred yards at that time and uh... what he was using were thirty gallon like i've talked about that still the optimal target of ours and for most your improvised targets go up thirty gallon uh... industrial plastic barrel with uh... colored water and and that way because you leave the buns open When it hit, it popped up. Yeah, it knew if you hit it, because you'd have that hydration going through and both the bung holes in the top, the colored red or blue water that he put in it, you know, he just put food, would shoot up and you knew you had a good, you know, torso hit, which is all you want. You don't need to do any more, just snag them. The red mist, don't you just love it? Oh! I've seen that before. Yes, and we'll see more of it again. Like I knew. Well, the blue is kind of like where the red mist mixed with the blue felt from a beret. I'll let somebody else get on here and entertain you. Very good. Thank you, sir. And again, with the primers, guys, if you do find it, if you want to share, if you don't want to share, understand. Because there's not that much out there. But if anybody does have a source, go ahead and throw it up on the air. And if it looks like there's good inventory, of course, the moment that happens and people find out, we know how the Tic-O-Meter works on that. uh... another thing about uh... with the fifty calibers is again uh... no matter what got you want to build if you want to do a home build a you can scale down you could take the madi griffin or many of these fifty caliber designs were talked about how much of the seventy and the other families because it's a lot of work but in any of the manual operated guns one of the things to remember if you have the basic wherewithal and a shop you can scale that down to make one monster uh... smaller bore weapon in any caliber you choose i'm a could be in thirty thirty coming could you could do seven six two by thirty nine personally one of the things i'd love to be is somebody cranking out a five four five single shot long-range placement dot the five four five has really good stability would be longer heavier bullet that they came up with that we can actually get in some quantities still in the system uh... the thing is nobody built anything uh... if you take the air if you take uh... if you were to build a an a r fifteen and uh... a twenty inch barrel enough in a five four five by thirty nine chambering i think everybody would be very pleasantly up you know happy very approving of what they get away a performance with those heavier bullets and one of the reasons is in fact uh... i think uh... who knows maybe they're stealing from the other side to a degree if you look at some of the new bullet designs and then you take a look at the heavier bullet well bullet weight that they came up with for the five four five by thirty nine russian you're going to be incredible similarities so just a heads up on that but it's one of those things where it would be a niche gun uh... there's a lot but there's a lot of people who do have the earlier standard uh... five four five ball so it doesn't have to be a super precision uh... uh... system but it would be nice to have something that would be a single shot placement shooter modest scope on the roof and it's for single shot you know if you hit it you got it if not you don't you for that place again remember never shoot twice from the same location if you're a a uh... mobile marksman now you know what i mean part of that second and third line and although again it doesn't have great range not the real range your heavier caliber is that we've mentioned but it would be interesting because i think you keep the price down quite easily the uh... barrel itself the barrels are available there actually some surplus barrels out there that could be pressed into this because uh... they made a bunch of stuff that was in some picture by thirty nine five four five by thirty nine that kind of stillborn And so there are a few 545 barrels, 23, 24 inches long, and other calibers that have not been drilled for the gas port, so you don't have to worry about that. And remember, you can either thread, but I would point out that many, many SKS and AKs have been pinned, the barrels have been pinned into the receiver. So it's already been done and proven that it works and that the designs can handle those pressures. and that the weapon will perform reasonably well. So it doesn't have to be as well. You can take some of the sophistication and the rest of the conference and turn it off the well. Anyway, we're at the top here, and we're in the test of the new world order. Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. And we're on the march both day and night. You're right. We'll be making the long, long walk tomorrow, starting early in the morning. accomplishing much. So for everybody out there guys, we're gonna take a break, you go grab a cup of coffee, go use the bathroom, and we'll be back here for the second hour of the Until Report. protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. Politicians. Look, okay, just get any blunt objects together, alright? If you get corners, bash them in the head. That seems to work out. Keep together, stay sharp, and follow me. dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave, in this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrant flavored 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 and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. This number traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors. So their children will be your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Turn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself and not by a far cry. anyway good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report of our quirky one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and little on and behind the lines in occupied territories southeast north northwest south with gentlemen you're listening to us on liberty tree radio dot four m g dot com liberty tree radio on that satellite and we are running with the micro station cb bay stations and ultra net hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska good afternoon to all of our friends out there across the whole konos along with the outlying states territories and the clock it is six oh seven p.m. eastern standard time it is weapons wednesday it is the fifth of may it is the thirteenth year of open favey and socialist and soviet socialist occupation all of america with the k two thousand and twenty one older calendar two thousand twenty one battle for the republic so i just someone just saw here that you know guys what when you should think to me about something i'm doing things i just also like i read part of something i'm doing a lot of doing the intro and it's like i can't stop you uh... the more i there's nothing that i picked this but going into an american war for independence to shoot their head out of this nation there's nothing else going to fix a year if you think that you're going to do the circle jerk with these worthless parties that have betrayed them to the for the chief that o'clock are on the Epstein blackmail and all they do is play the dog and pony show routine with the same you know spinning your wheels while they move everything closer towards the destruction of your common liberties here and your mutual liberty interest we get a lot of work to do but uh... as it is i wanted to touch on one other thing here before we go any farther should have gotten the last hour to forgive me but uh... over a boat cash and you'll probably don't go on both cash you are a weapon to platform your feet are the foundation you need more boats period and everybody goes afford well how about nine dollars and ninety eight thousand about all of you got to take advantage of it be quite honest if i could get these in my size i'd buy a dozen seriously i wouldn't hesitate by doesn't know what i'm good not even thinking twice about it but unfortunately they're only go fit three sizes nine nine and a half and ten this is a clear and spider okay your double cash b o t a c h dot com both cash dot com both cash dot com when you get there these are maelstrom boots they're just a regular utility we are fighting both combat boat uh... purposeful enough a lot of people with a couple of them back more few of you've called in your work the boots right now uh... the big thing is he's released up standard front but they are a side tip so we offer speed at the offer speed kit dress their no cool the uh... big thing is you go to both cash dot com b o t a c h dot com and then you go to their over on the left side says clearance and you touch that I can save some time because when you touch clearance, for instance, under $10, there's a subject there, a section there. Well, guess what? These are under $10. So if you touch that, you're going to see a shorter list than if you just do the general clearance, which means you're still three pages out, and that's about it. But if you go to the under $10 on the second page, middle of the page, second tier, Maelstrom military combat side zip boots $9.98 a pair. If you buy a dozen pairs of any size, size 9, size 9.5 and 10 combined, if you do any combination of sizes and you buy 12 of them, they're $8.98 a pair. You really can't beat that. There's just no way you can beat that. Again, wear them until they fall off your feet or if you're smart, rotate them. You can afford to have three pairs in your size. but they are only size 9, size 9.5 and size 10. Now they did have some more expensive, really the same, another Maelstrom boot, but a slightly different cut for $19. I think they're mostly out of those or they're out of them because most of the sizes were already gone. And they may have them for another model for $19.98, which are, which are go up to size 11.5, maybe those may be sold out, I don't know. but that you'll have to go to the regular section regular clearance section go through the boots are available but this particular one nine ninety eight excellent price a lot of you people if you don't have boots for your real the women uh... some new girls can fit into nine sir nine and a half for your food foot sizes but also for you people who have children uh... can i remind you that what you already know your kids are growing if your kids were a size nine I'd buy a nine, a nine and a half and a 10. Why not? They're going to keep growing if you've got, you know, middle aged Munchkins. And, you know, if you're teenagers, young teenagers especially, this is what our, my kids growing up actually way back in the grade school because I could get size zero and size one boots in adult boots and they would fit the kids perfectly. So they were running around in two and $300 Paris jump boots, $5 a pair back in the day. I'd deal with one of the wholesalers. This is as, now it's not $5, but it's $10. and if you buy twelve of them it's nine dollars but you really can't beat this and i'm gonna harp on it make sure it's in here uh... whoever gets their first fine i've already got an order and i'm probably put together other short way uh... with but it's you just can't beat it if you keep an eye on both cash they have this happen but it hiccups only last for a minute in bigger sizes and sometimes none of the bigger sizes of their as in this case what they're doing is they're clearing off a certain model because the next wave of the same models coming in i'll give you an example when you do a odd item you scroll down a little bit you'll see that there are other mail items you know for instance they got a mailstrom uh... uh... they've got some of your mail from but to pop up for all nine dollars or whatever married one unfortunately you go to them you tag it because of the re-index is a thing re resets and you'll find that they're not nineteen dollar boots anymore now they're back up to the regular price of you know a hundred or hundred and twenty or whatever and that happens now they do have maelstrom commando nine inch for nineteen will come to twenty dollars nineteen ninety eight all three companies in there they have five six six and a half seven and seven half and eight wide if you're a wide twenty dollars a pair they're in the black nine-inch mils spec combat move and again a good price But you can get two pairs of boots if you can fit a size 9, 9.5 or 10 for the price of one of these. Two is always better than one. So just a heads up there. And more than two would be preferred. I recommend three pairs per person if you can afford to do that. Go ahead, Carl. Shelby from Oklahoma. It's Weapons Wednesday in memory of Don. Insert the magazine into the magazine well. Weapons Wednesday. And also Cinco D'Amo Day. And we need to find more ammo. Actually, a friend of mine just come up and kind of smiled and said, I bought one of the stores out today. I said, really? He was, yeah, I bought all seven boxes they had. Oh, okay. It's what they had that was left. And basically in the regular, there's some odd stuff, but he bought out everything that came in that was left after everybody threw it today. And they were out of everything. 762 by 39, 223, 556, 51. So yeah. cinco de emo de señor y señorita. You need more ammunition for your pídola, for your rifle, and how much you need? More. It's just that simple. You can't afford to pull the trigger hard on anything, but guess what? You'll figure it out. I guess the little hard knocks are going to give you your background when time comes. The rural thing farm store down here, Mark? Every morning when they open up, the dealers from the gun shows come in and buy whatever they can get. Yeah. Oh, it's gone as quickly as the... I said, your shelves are empty because they weren't empty this morning. I said, well, at least they got in the right hands. Because no, they didn't. They got sold to dealers and you sell them five tons of price at the gun shows. Exactly. Well, one of the things here again, I know everybody said, well, we'll go over to reloading. Well, we've already talked about that in the first hour, what's happened there. uh... what powder of the story is out there the assault what's bleeding out is that are the guys that did invest kind of like with those guys don't go to the you know clearing up the guns you the uh... the store a lot of people invested in volume a long time ago and that's why you're seeing some of the stuff that i'm having a had people asking me questions about because it's something that somebody invested back we got it cheap they're still sold it for a good price and you can buy it for a reasonable price uh... it is part of the whole idea of you know they screw you out of your retirement this is the next best thing and in fact it's a little bit of a career to retirement and that's who was mostly selling this tougher people who bought this for the long haul investment and so i don't complain about that at all because you know um... many of the people who i know right here in michigan who were with g m christ learned ford all good at the dennies came into play on and they figure that while you all die off and so nobody will know they turn right around they do it again to the another group in the option that you would another group of the teams and right in your 20 20 here and the only thing that saved most of those men from the nineties goes right off the bat when they retire gm cut their benefits and their government in half and of course their assumption was there would be a certain level well the old ones the guys that lasted all the other guys that bought pallets of ammo they weren't laughing so much in fact i'm going to tell you something uh... when they destroyed their retirement everything so these people committed suicide just a heads up we had this problem one of the plants down here just south of us you know what all of a sudden they were going to tell everybody don't put all don't push this the of the napkin get garbages you know screw us over don't push it don't push it they did and all these people that have their retirement tied into uh... you know the garbage well a whole bunch of what you know introvert like i said they you know the more rural what the door and one do now my do they still had a retirement and uh... uh... it's always bothered me to begin with it like well you know what You were looking for a job when you came in you left there because you got to the limit. Guess what? You probably have to get dressed out there and work some more. But unfortunately what overlaps with this period of time is Prozac and what I've told you a million times these people got on psychotropic because their doctors were scurrilous and then they of course got into the spiral down and they either go introvert with personal injury or they go extrovert hurt somebody else and a lot of them are suicides. and by any number of means you can imagine you don't shoot themselves that there was all kinds of the stuff that happened so again those guys those are the guys are right now are coming out and they're not smiling but they're at least satisfied because they're selling it for a much better price they got it for they got a lot more digits on the shelf that way than if they'd actually counted on their retirement and so they're putting that stuff out there and that's that's actually saving us right now for a lot of the people that really are you know wait for the game but motivate all feet late but younger okay of nothing else i mean guys the nineties or thirty years in the hotel lights nineteen nineties thirty years ago and a lot of guys when we give an example of we would make trips down to the middle of ohio don't worry about is about their come back with uh... may have basically you could with private trucks but ups vans full of forty pound kegs powder at two dollars a pound used to be two dollars a pound for military powder if you were willing to travel the more you bought the better the price and we had a company we had a dealer of their inventory was in the the hills in the minds of uh... kentucky and they would bring so many some eyes up and drop them off at the main hall main warehouse they had which is out in the middle of nowhere uh... little dot count and there's two things that they had that you want to go there for they had powder for two dollars a pound if you bought uh... the ordinance tub tubs which pound cardboard barrels and the other thing was uh... middle eastern ammunition uh... for that the israelis were get rid of out of all their weapons that were loaded or captured arms and they had these street people that were sorting the animal out seven six two by thirty nine there would be pallet bends uh... of everything nine millimeter forty uh... forty five a c p uh... thirty-eight six for from the browning guns uh... subject to buy fifty one may donate no one meter browser at thirty calvert carby and they'd have been this one one time i stopped here they had forty eight about pallet bends half my height four-foot tall solid filled with loose ammunition of mixed types now you could buy a whole band of fat yourself you didn't have to wait for the street guide assorted they'd be able to take street people bam minimal wage and they were just sitting there and that's all they do is just sort the ammo you could buy sorted for well still a good price but you can buy that whole been for a hundred eighty dollars now you're that smart guy that retired you bought a bunch of those and you sorted out yourself and can get up now you come out here telling that stuff on the market for a very good price you make better than your retirement package and put your retirement package got screwed you're making something which is better than you know they'll suck in vapors and basically uh... eating oatmeal everyday well i'm not i'm not going to be grudge in these people that have thought ahead of all the rest who were shallow-brained or who'd get better just in the wrong time place of this is how you do it so i hope more people do that to be quite honest because again but like i said we just got some seven sixty by thirty ammunition for twenty nine cents around other guy i know bought it for four cents around and so he just sat out at and and without so you with the stripper clips that were that remaining stuff became in years and years ago and there was even from you go which uh... everyone throughout seems to pop out the inventory but that may be from another direction other stuff going on of that nineteen eleven was just operated there and the magazine was introduced to uh... a lot of people have been asking me about uh... your should i tell all my seven-round bags and by a round mags and it's like you should buy all of your steeple your seven-round mags but by more eight-round bags uh... that's that that simple meal gun parts and stuff like that are for buying and hanging out to the increase inventory remember it's kind of nice to have more magazines you can load up and leave in places you don't carry them all uh... what we do is like i said uh... if you watch show go to uh... major surplus dot com major surplus dot com they have these little uh... multi multi pocket pistol pouches, mag pouches that actually can be used as like a little bandolier and they'll hold the six or eight or ten 1911 magazines. Well, you load the mags up, you put them into those carriers and you hang them in different places around the property where you might need them down the road. See how that works? And the advantage is that, you know, you've got your basic combat load. The other thing is, let's say you've got your 45-10, your combat holster on your belt. Hopefully carrying a couple of mags, meeting them in your pocket, you got them on a covered hanger so that they don't get beat up when you're moving around. Well, let's say all of a sudden you're doing it outside. Well, rather than just those two mags, if you got these things hanging, because quite a few of our friends do this, you can just turn to that hanger station, grab one of those bandoliers, put that over your shoulder. Now you got your two mags, the mag and the weapon, and a few other mags you can distribute the wealth with if it looks like you're getting into something serious. And I don't care if it's a 1911 with seven rounds or if it's a 40 caliber M&P with a 15 round magazine capacity, they'd still be carrying a bandolier. Well, I've got lots of rounds, never enough ammunition. And you don't know what it is you might be running into. Remember, as long as you keep up with a bullet, if you can just hammer down range, if you're by yourself, you can compensate in volume to make up for maybe fewer people on your side with gun barrels. and that'll we get you if you got into something it'll be a little on you to back out of something you know we've talked about dealing with ambush uh... example somebody causes enough problems you know your friends of course you gotta get to the folder you have to get to where you can make contact with somebody to get help uh... if your friends and neighbors are paying attention i watch a little video yesterday well this morning not yesterday about uh... all the neighbors coming in and pitching in on a similar problem and i got it was mostly caught on video where the bad guy who was so i get a part in every body that was a friendly that was in the you know contact re the problem that was in uniform that thought it was going to do something i thought they were going to maybe even just platters they don't have something did work for him but what's really fun is that there everybody that was you know in the group all did what they were supposed to do and showed up and made sure that there are plenty eyeballs and plenty of firearms on hand because it could be some problem that's what what black uniform thought had to be there when nobody else was around right yeah so anyway uh... nothing you're real quick with the uh... it's major surplus dot com major surplus dot com and by the way of somebody is asking its major like the major you know they're the bajers on salute or sergeant major m a j o r major surplus dot com when you get over there go look at their pouches again a number of different types of factory standard there are they're not aftermarket there just your present contract market uh... pouches made your utility work so you can find a man different camel patterns of government o d green the government black together and pan together and coyote uh... and some like a said some camel patterns are kind of unique major have them nobody else does as far as some of these patterns so look at and see what it is my float your boat prices are the same for all of the above the list and show you what colors they have so if you need to match up other gear or your terrain not a problem uh... somebody asking would you put these in like a cash or yeah as a matter of fact okay hold on here we read what closer use that paper would use something else like a utility bag or purely matter what you have to spend uh... if you're using if you're using a personal with kind of handy is that yes if you have the individual pockets you know you're gonna know you know you can quick touch deal with the left hand while the right hand top ring the weapon or keeping the record ready if you don't wait you know just empty the gun If you really are paying attention and you can mentally do multitasking, knowing that you're on round number seven or number eight, depending on how you want to load your weapon, if you're leaving an empty chamber and then you're loading, remember, that's seven rounds. If you're like me, there's seven rounds in the magazine and the tube's got something in it because there's eight rounds right off the bat no matter what. so i understand that as i've been engaging i'm down on my last round i dropped the maga let it fall uh... even as i'm doing that my hand is reaching over to that little banana chest pouch that i put on that will strip that little eight pocket pouch i can tell with my fingers what pouches up here now as i pull it across my chair that pull across from my my uh... chest there but the hand on the other find the pouch for quickly flip up take longer for you to describe this than to do it but uh... pop the test or pull it because it might be velcro, put the thumb behind the mag, grip the magazine, pull it out, insert it in the magazine well, I don't even have to work the action. But that does require, again, that mental math where some people are not confident about that. So the other option is you run to exhaustion. But if you do, you still go through the same process. If you're hanging, if you pull one of these over the neck hangers where you just put the strap over your neck and it's hanging on your chest, Remember that that hand can already be in motion and your feeling and then as you evacuate the mag, don't bother trying to put something back in these little mag pockets. That's where I'll find you dead where you're trying to fish that little mag bag, come back in, make it uniform. Instead, you want to be able to feel and identify as you compress the pouch and you move your hand across and it's a very quick motion so that you go to the next magazine in line and that way you're uniformly pulling and you're you know exactly what you've got left with a touchy feely even in darkness you can identify exactly what you have an inventory and again remember if it's in defense when you're firing you're falling back towards the next mag pouch or next pile of mags or something you've got set up for better cover and better still the pistol was only being used to get you to the oh there it is ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba and although sometimes that's what you're working with because it's just where you are. And maybe that's what you'll stick with. But remember, if you always upgrade, you go to the next level. Shotgun and rifle and retain the pistol, obviously, and conserve that ammunition because something might happen to the next weapon. There's always that possibility and we assume the worst and that way we won't be disappointed. Okay. Another thing is, it doesn't mean there's more color. I will say this, that I do buy stuff that's black. uh... i just got some phenomenal uh... shin armor for three dollars it's uh... riot police shin armor uh... it was brand new it's uh... in a clear plastic carry of it black now i could pay it which i'm my my do but i'll leave it black and sometimes i need black i need black everything look like the secret police so i've got enough of that built up but The big thing here again is if it all possible, try not to wear black or black tactical for anything, unless you're an infiltration or appointment for infiltration, and we know who you are. If we see a black uniform, we know it's not friendly. It's an interior police of the KGB. That simple. So we don't use black. Antifa uses black. BLM uses black. Secret police gun grabbers wear black. But American patriots, we don't wear black. okay we don't wear the interior police k g b uniform we don't okay so your gear the biggest promise i know about you know because you have i got lots of poachers like that if you can when you're buying new by something that matches the color standard you know that the uh... the uh... color range or scheme of your unit whatever you've chosen whenever you can try to get something other than black. I bought a bunch of those little black pouches or utility pouches actually tried to get them in the green when I could and I actually found out, wow, they still had some. But if the green were gone, out of gone, black on those 99 cents, you know, super sale items. But if you can get another color, try to get a color. The other thing here is with regard to, oh, well, that's a good point. uh... what what what what i use for lubricant with a nineteen eleven well it depends on where i am but for the most part i've just use a standard uh... you know conventional oil with a light grease on the rail uh... lubar plate which i can use other rifles works really well on the on the automatic pistols on both of your rails but we're not talking group it up so it's like you know you can see the grease remember we talk about applying grease you take your little finger put a double that stuff on there you can use a q-tip and do the same thing literally coat after you've cleaned and washed you how to do that you know clean and scrub you make sure things were away no carbon no debris what you got the metal back to where supposed to be where the crystals is clear then you're going to take an oil that particular airfield that you've cleaned off if you're not the whole of the of the action uh... slide in frame then you're going to turn around and at key points which include the rails you can apply uh... like for instance luber played or whatever weapons greases your personal favorite you know there's a dozen out there or industrial creases because there's a number of them that are out there the very expensive which is the people don't mention because they never think to spend the money maybe you got a shop where you've got a little bit of stuff you can procure just a damn and you apply very like cope which you run it down the rail of the trough and you also run it on the rail on whatever possible contact sides are busy shiny especially do that you'd be amazed how effective that that works uh... and again this is like you'd you were not talk about bathing anything or bathing anything in greece but if you use the grease remember that most of them are pretty high temp nowadays for weapons use And so they're going to stay, proper viscosity is going to be maintained. They're going to stay bonded when it gets warm. That material is going to work even more efficiently down into the crystalline structure of the metal. And you get basically a really slick action out of the deal. Okay, without compromising the ammunition. Which is a big issue. Remember, penetrant oils and even some greases. are very efficient at following the path of least resistance. We do not want to cross contaminate the ammunition or especially the primer. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Mark, I have a... I'd like your opinion on something, if you would. Go ahead. Okay, I came by a deal at a local gun store and they've got a moisten nugget in .38. It's not beautiful. It's it's just an M 38. I know you know what that is. Yeah, and It comes with all 20 round shy of a thousand rounds. I'm calling it a thousand rounds for easy math. He said he had it on consignment for 720 bucks. How much? 720 bucks for a thousand rounds of 7.62 by 54 surplus. Anyway, I called him back this morning and asked him if he'd come off that and he said, yeah, he'd come down to 650 cash and out the door. And I'm thinking this might be probably a stupid question, but I poked around online and I couldn't even hardly find any 7.62x54 and what I could, doesn't seem to be surplus and it's around 60 cents a round. Right. Well, right now the best price on the ammo was what I mentioned here. It's not the only one, but remember, let's see if they still have it, over at AIM surplus. They actually had some 7.62x54R there. Now they may be gone. I mean, it's likely it's not. I mean, again, over the weekend and in the last couple days, you know how that is. It'd probably be around 50 cents around, wouldn't it? Well, it's been running on an average. Well, what about 52, 54 cents, the stuff that we've been running into, but as high as 75 cents for the upper end brass case we were talking about the other day. they had some of that here it was 15 rounds per box so it came to a little under what was it that was it was well okay now it's not cooperating hold on here I'm gonna check see if they have anything left come on there we go okay they still have the PPU 762 by 54 our past case 1295 for 15 rounds so that's that's leaning towards you know a dollar a round right there and there is uh... for instance but they do have red army what what is what what is the uh... molt what they got for amal what is the uh... what type of that there is a lot of kansas or or what will happen for a quarter of a probably per can right yes we are so there's two parents of them and some that are in boxes there's nine hundred and seven three round dot dot com uh... i'm just call me about Well, okay, right now, for instance, surplus Russians, 7.62x54 are 440 rounds is $250 at aim. So you got to figure two cans, there's $500, right? Yeah, and then the rifle for $150, I think it's a go. Well, you still got, that's only $440, you said there's a thousand rounds, right? Yeah. Well, it's a little more than, you actually got to figure the ammunition. would be about five hundred twenty five hundred thirty rah five hundred thirty dollars i mean if it varies you can fly you're not finding as much of the band can't stop around anyway we know that right uh... a hundred fifty dollars for the rifle and for the ammunition combined if you calculate that wasn't bad i mean the rifle itself that remember that not doesn't it's the model thirty eight doesn't have the bad app that's correct okay so it's a straight short artillery carbine Those were cavalry carbon as they called them, but they regard everybody got them artillery and cavalry that model Yeah, okay. Well, that's not a bad little package is whether or not you want the carbine and Again, you could do the math with the nagans going for what they are the like I'm going for what they are right now Since we've seen them three and four hundred dollars apiece, right? In fact, I just do a quick search if anybody's wondering well mark you wish to get those four hundred dollars. That's true. We did Now, if you like the rifles, and as I said, you still want to build up a few more, this is the kind of package you're going to find floating around. And as far as the ammo goes, the nice thing is it's for sure, 769, make sure it's 762x54R in those cans. I looked at one. Well, I didn't open the can, but... Well, you can read it. You should be able to find the nomenclature. It should be out right there for you, available. I didn't even look at the can. He showed me some in the box. Okay, what was the box for what? White boxes, 20 routers? Green box. You mean like a mild green cardboard plane? Yep. Paper wrapper, paper tape, paper tape, seal top, white paper, black print? I don't remember. I just wanted to pull it. Okay, well... It's a personal flavor thing. You could dicker with him and say, hey, how about, you know, come down, you know, wherever you can get a few dollars off it, get a few dollars off it. What's, what was his final right now? What did he say again? 650 for all of you. So 500. I mean, I'm looking at the price right here. And by the way, I'm not counting shipping yet. Whether or not they're, you know, with AIM, they're still a little shipping on ammo. So. Yeah, if anybody fine if anybody could find a better price that's actually not a bad price at this point in time for the ammo Combined with that particular rifle how the Borla count the gun I didn't look down I always remember it could be gluing potatoes come with in very rusty potatoes. Always want to check that Yeah, they have a gunsmith that I'm gonna make sure they check it. I decide to go with it right the last the last one I I bought was a beautiful M44 and I gave the little boy 400 bucks for it and I'm ashamed of it. Well a lot of those are especially even if they were if it's a factory rebuild they did such a good job on the bluing I've seen many of those that came in with the last batches so one of the guys bought a case And they each one of them look like they were virtually new factory guns for all the purpose of the Scott laminated Yeah Beautiful they're good weapons. They were just nicer when they were $69 apiece, but those days are long gone not until after I was Yeah, so we're with I've been tagging with you since the 90s again the other thing just go over it make sure you know just spot-check it doesn't have to have matching serial numbers because that doesn't necessarily mean anything because remember most of these guns uh... if they're different against remember the reason we're getting them the way we did guys is that these were strategic reserve or tactical reserve weapons they were either in blocks and cash somewhere and typically they did a good job in europe of storing them uh... they also because they did not consider them obsolete they did an entire series of rebuilds which is why we're getting the benefit of that with the kind of government were seeing it's just that when they were sixty nine dollars you couldn't build a gun for that price you could make that up now at the the prices are now intermediate one-year for what you're paying is an intermediate price because they're going for a lot more Okay, yeah, and so this is a good deal and then again you have to balance it out Are you paying more for the gun and less for the ammo or paying more for the ammo and a little less for the rifle? That's where I come. That's the law. Yeah. Well, I'm just saying give a car busy. Hey, what about you goes even if you get $20 off you know, I am How about 30? Already got $70 right? Oh, no, I'm right. I I'd have to look at it, but you're judging a fine wine and firearms, so I think you can handle it. And if you're satisfied with it, that's not a bad deal right now. It has blonde wood. I guess it's birch or something, I don't know. It's not a laminated start. well a lot of those britain for a lot of those were so they were all limited a lot of a war were were solid would single and uh... you there's another would out there some birch but it comparable remember the u.s. military birch was a second line or alternate heavy world forgive me hardwood uh... with the europeans it was the norm of the chinese the same way so that's why you see especially the farther the farther north you go with the articles because they were using indigenous local production for the stocks whatever possible that you'll find a lot of the standard hardwoods in solid stocks you'll see a range of but still a fine grain. I don't think I've seen any ever with any kind of knurl or burp ever. I know the one thing, they were always consistent for that. and i've held a lot of make-ups i've had a lot of the moisten you know models in every variant and for that matter even in their work there's some other stocks like in the talk reps you would think that we'd see something like we have the all the different you know but one of the flawed but we have a more there's more character to the word that for the term is normally is we are both the water the weather is character and you don't see any character in any of these uh... well war saw packed weapons that are or they should say communist hero weapons You're sure right. Yeah, they're always clean. They're always clean wood in that respect. Now they might have been abused, but they were still very clean lines for the wood. It didn't look all dinged up to me. Another thing there is, I'll tell you what, slings and other, if it doesn't have a slang and the other, you know, kutrimans, don't forget, go spot check, JG Sale, they just mentioned them. They have a surplus section there and he's been doing a lot of the surplus leather. so he's got a little bit he's got some good prices are really good and always got left to have a look at the last couple weeks but uh... i'd always got he had flings and they're the appropriate point for that rifle okay but it doesn't do you know that you know dot com and what you do is go over to uh... that i was a little bit check my mobile curious myself as long as i mentioned it i could go over to j g sales all by the way before he's going farther uh... i mentioned uh... a surplus They have 760 by 51 NATO. They have three different 762 by 54R. And then they have some 9mm Tula, you know, Talammo. Tula ammo for $27.90 for $50. What the hell? Well actually that's average nowadays, what the hell. But now they've got some steel case, copper jacket, Tula 9mm for $28 a box. Remember what I told you guys to buy all that stuff? all way back a year ago away back a year ago anyway uh... if you go to j g sales go to w w w dot j g sales were to go find out what they have left j g sales dot com and when you when you get over to j g sales he has a section there which is a accessories and range gear to second item down touch that okay when you get there on the far lower right hand corner surplus doesn't have much of them here two pages uh... spanish mauzer slangs he's got those their little pie but they're there double-ply all they've sold a lot i don't see any of the they got wings are now there's only nine items however what they do have a couple of military surplus ladi l thirty five or husk with their dot m forty leather flap holsters for five dollars apiece and those are a nice nice little holster if you've got like a latte or a uh... Another one will fit in there, the P-38s, but it's a working holster. They're going to need to be cleaned up. Yeah, it looks like everything else is gone as far as the nay got there. Everybody's doing the same thing. They're scouring countryside. Now, the other option then is go to Apex Gun Partches. Okay. That's the other one. I found a sling online. Well, if all fails, you can do a hanger with brass. You know, do your rings, because that's got the through slots. You make a hanger for your making your bracket uh... with brass you can use re breathing rod or you can use uh... heavy gauge still raw you know still you know like wire to make your hanger just do a good ninety degree band and then uh... you could use nylon for the slings i mean if you're looking for just a working man to like that fine well but there are some other ones that even have the hanger the leather hanger list you know there's a couple of ways those were made the ones that are mostly out there right now the bulgarian the romanian and then some of the chinese I haven't seen too many of the Chinese recently, but was it major surpluses? Another one, they had some of those items. Maybe they've got some in stock right now, too. But I checked Apex Gun Parts because they just got a whole gaggle of stuff in, and they were doing pretty good, actually. There's a lot of stuff that's so Apex Gun Parts stuff out. My biggest deal is that it's really not in my income bracket, but I didn't spend all my $1,400 stimulus, so I'm going to do it now. We're going to stimulate something all right from about 400 to 500 yards out, right? I got my stimulus ammo. I mean stimulus money. That's what I'm thinking. Okay, thank you very much Mark. I appreciate you so much. Well good question and again because it depends on where you are in the market in the country as far as what you can access. There's still a good, that's a reasonable price for a bolt-action, manually operated surplus cut right now go look at what the monsters in the nagans are going for classic firearms is the one that typically has been able to restock some but otherwise you gotta go to gunbroker and you know you figured out i think you've got a quick look at ok combination uh... it was a new person would probably be reasonable because it's one stop shopping if you're listening out there to get a package deal like that that's a good way to make sure you're done you know we should get some right away you're ready to go you know it works And these old military rifles guys are meant to take a lot of abuse. That's the most important thing. Remember they were designed to be for the guy who was the potato digger one minute. You put him in a green uniform and he's a potato digger with a rifle. Several years ago I got a 91-30 and then a few years back I got a M-44 so a M-38 just go right in the pile real good. Yeah, in fact, they're good for the collection anyway. You know, if you're, if you're, you're adding to the inventory, that's what's really neat. Like I said, you're collecting and in the process, you're ending up with a decent inventory of arms that you can either use yourself or hand out to somebody everybody can understand. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, a little cheat on that. They've got some peppy old, they're not cheap though. If you go over Apex gun parts, always check their sales and deals first, because you never know what you're going to run into there. and there's a little bit of everything for the uh... you know for you guys that are built so i'll have to talk so bad i can't i said don't even get me started that you're welcome thank you sir and we are almost the top i gotta remind you guys again i didn't forget the idea the idea the drawing of got two or three other things that have kind of tied me up and then i end up with treasures like today where i can't pass book i go grab a and uh... it's unfortunately a bullet twenty four hours of the day and i try to use all twenty six the uh... possibly friday i think will start the drawings and uh... it's not that we don't have everything here just you know coordinating with that i want to make sure we get it right and uh... sold just a heads up that drive for liberty tree radio and it's going to be like we've done in the past you donate and your number your name is put in the book or you know every dollar that you donate which is cool and then we turned the big drama we put your name out of their and you cured that your gift to us if you're the person that is on the little flip we said the gift to you how works so it's kind of fun cuz you never know who's gonna who's gonna be the one getting the gift Well, real quick, since I'm over here on Apex, I will remind you again, because I had a flurry of emails and I don't know when you're listening, but for you guys out there looking for British Lee Enfield parts, now remember, your rifle has a little inventory of letters and numbers on the side of it. On a British Enfield, they mean something. If you have a number one, mark three, asterisk, or B, or whatever, that really does mean something. uh... the number four mark one of the totally different weapon in many ways most every way and you need to make sure that you pay attention when you read the information when you go to places like apex they've been doing a pretty good job of actually putting the nomenclature in place or better still i'm looking at some of the parts here they actually have the boxes posted and you can see the actual nomenclature on the box plus they even have a picture of the spring or the extractor or the ejector or whatever and a bunch of this stuff has come in old world war two or korean war inventory brand new old inventory in the box and so if you have a bunch of endfields i know a bunch of people asking about the smellies number one mark three there are a lot of very very useful parts at apex right now and you'll have to go through a lot of time to go down here uh... for instance uh... number four uh... mark to firing pen springs set of five for sixteen ninety five brand new in the box never issued world war two you know era and uh... they're dated all the stuff is dated on top everything else is no doubt when the stuff was made what it is what it's for but you get a whole wrappers at which means you can leave them away they are because they're already probably in the green still on the cosplay of paper rap etcetera Another thing is, they're all, also there are number one Mark III Lee-Enfield rifle magazine bodies. I've had a chance to see these. They're 895 apiece. There's nothing wrong with those bodies, but you still will need the base, the follower, the base follower, the spring, and the actual follower. The base is actually a guide. so that is that but there are good bodies they still need to be decrease they need to be cleaned up and then you can either hard coat them or do whatever you want to do for a finish and uh... i would with switches what i'm you know gonna do with the ones that i've seen is they're going to get uh... sam blaster to do a light custom sandblasts bead blast out of our blast After we get degreased and cleaned up and then they're going to get a hard coat on them and then they're going to be ready to roll, ready to use. So yes, those are good shells. If you're looking for a body for your British number one mark 3 Enfield, need more mags. Bag bodies are the cheapest mag body out there. They're not busted up completely in the feed lips for instance or the retainer lips are not broken. So far, not many I've seen. So they're good. Anyway, we're almost to the top and last but not least, Again, with regard to, somebody's asking about finding World War II type leather, there are some reproductions out there. In fact, you might even find a reproduction at BudK.com. However, remember the traditional 1911 leather slings have the brass postal stud. You have a slit in the flap and then you have a button and you lose a little more of a hole once one end what happens is you push it through there and then it's retained by the tension of the leather they work just fine however the reproductions you're seeing mostly are stuff that was made in China and they have been made with snaps in many cases now that works if you're looking for original and trying to keep your fleet you know say a world war two collectible just remember there's variations on the theme Most of the ones that have been remade are made either in black leather with a you know, undyed internally. I would point out that a lot of times they're kind of coarse. You're going to want to supple that leather out because otherwise if you just stick the holster in an untuned, you know, not form to the gun completely, it's going to create more aggressive wear wherever that internal leather where it's fresh makes contact with your gun. Now you can do a little research on that, but you want to clean up the inside, not just the outside. You want to make it more supple. And so you can tune that with like mink oil or whatever, but you're going to have to work it. So sit down in front of the TV, grab yourself a rag, and work that in. And you want to make that leather more malleable, more supple in terms of its aggressiveness. when the gun is resting in it. Why? Well, because you're planning on probably walking with that thing in the holster. This is where cops get loyal holster wear. Even, of course, especially I know it's got to be worse if they're using the hard plastic holsters. That's a highly aggressive material against a relatively light finish, no matter what the gun is. And that's why you're seeing these very dynamic score points with shiny metal on a lot of these secondhand guns if they've really been carried. Just a heads up, little tricks of the trade, you just want to work the leather beforehand. You buy any of this new leather, again, go through it, look to see what's going on. If it's used like the one I was just talking about, you're going to have to still clean the leather up. You want to do a wash on it, then you want to retreat it, but also you want to break out the toothbrush anywhere where there's steel studs or brass studs. You need to get in there and work that area because you'll notice that it's brass. You've probably got some really green crustacean like booger material there. Well, you don't want that anywhere near your weapon. That is commutable. That is, again, copper oxidation. So you need to clean that off. You're going to want to scrub it out. First get it. Use a brush. Be patient. get the little carbon scraper out made out of plastic and work the brass off that way. You might even want to after you get it all cleaned up, take a touch of clear fingernail polish and put it on the brass if you have a stud or a pin where it's inside towards the gun. What is that going to do? It seals up the brass so that it doesn't re-oxidize as quickly. i remember you may still get some pain in material and gunk around that stuff let's get that all scrubbed off and washed off first clean the clean it up get yourself some paper towel or tissue wipe it he's got some booger green there if you got some booger green there you still got some work to do you know part proper planning prevents piss poor performance and yeah everything requires a little bit of initial effort but you know what you end up with a good product a good idea that you know works because historically it has that your personal preference that you know to the property or routine do the whole cleanup on the equipment and that way when you're using it it's going to work that much longer it's going to wear better for you everybody's going to be happy especially you anyway worth a top just about and i will remind you got craig from for
