Right to bear arms on the defense, the tyranny, not the hunt. It's to protect yourself and 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 pleasure killed called gun-free zones. We're going to be through the mist with a flintlock in his clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, speaking low to me. He wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land and home. For 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 given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country, put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters, they kill their children. 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 what 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 eat God's given right, and pray to God for freedom as Iowoki vanished in the midst 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 to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? On the plains of hesitation lie the blackened bones of countless millions. Who at the dawn of victory sat down to rest? Thing died. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon. Intelligence report. I'm a kirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the mines in occupied territories. Southwest. North. South. and east but gentlemen you're listening to us on liberty three radio dot four m g dot com liberty tree radio on satellite and we are running about a micro station cb 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 in lower 49 including the great state of Jefferson along with CONUS the outline two states of territories and the clock it is 506 p.m. Eastern Standard Time it is no way yes way its weapons Wednesday and it is the 5th of May is the 13th year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with 2021 Old Earth Calendar 2021 Battle for the Republic The Dance of Swords Battle begin! All kinds of exciting stuff going on and it is Weapons Wednesday. 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 purpose of the malicious in the first place across the board no matter the threat were supposed to be ready to go not the government governments worthless ninety nine percent of the time they won't do it this post to and when they do it will be against american people not against our the enemies of the american people that through their working for is the enemy the american people nowadays so we got thirty thousand what will 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. It's that simple. So. Right, right. My radio stream's still on music. Ed might want to checklist see if our feeds are good. You might want to refresh, remember? Also, be a good idea. Check your system and refresh. There we go. A lot of times it's 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 of life. Just did a few minutes ago. telling me the same thing every operating system they have is screwed especially with all the spyware updates that have taken place I was just talking to another company here about 30 minutes ago physically I was talking to some you know individuals and it's like yeah every system we've got is 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 Old Earth 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 we might even have to refresh again. I think what they're doing here is they're just cutting back on, it's like zero replacements. It's what you, 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. Guys, it ain't the razor, it's the blades. When you get a cable system out there, understand that there have to be amplifiers on amplifiers, on amplifiers, on amplifiers. And when you're stretching out, you keep building, you keep building, you keep adding, you keep building, you keep adding. It's the latest, the greatest. Wait a minute, we bought a different model. We've got the Chao Chu Bong, you know, 4,000 as opposed to the, you know, Shang Kaou Boy, you know, 200, versus the, you know, Ching, you know, Ching Chang Bong Gao. you know sixteen before that anyway the whole idea is that the newer is better now it's just a figured out to make it cheaper the strip the wire smaller they make the circuit three punk a junk and for a moment for a little while the operationally it's going to sound the same but the drop off is very quick and what's happening is anal again we know about the microprocessor and all the other you know the component in assembly sub assembly systems that raw materials 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. Used to be it was in the flippant population like the, you were buying bargain basement, that's fine. but this is gone through the whole system because bargain basement if they 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 about just cable it universities it's the military it's colleges uh... it's uh... factories manufacturing uh... newer stuff done by a punk a junk like the israeli trash coming in and taking over companies they're going to do like they did to germany before world war two work like after world war one before world war two same routine that's what the kosher mafia is doing here in the US pissing on this country the exact same way with all the little buddy communists from wherever they are plopped down on the planet. Okay? So again, it's a hoot and a laugh that's the 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 Corona Beer Virus scam. How many of you even bother talking to people that have face... In fact, here's a 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, are they 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? 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. No, tell them 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 they 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 lean back like they're going to save themselves with that two or three extra inches from the corona beer virus call that they've told exists everywhere around every person all that dot so you know that that stupid person is another one you're not going to you 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 going to replace the paper maskers you know but i'm still kind of religious you know they have a religious the of the mask but they aren't 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 because, oh, they feel safe. Now, if they get in the car and they don't take the mask off, oh, they're on the checklist of, yep, don't talk to that fool. 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 the again, so far around the corner, crazy town, you know, 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 really what they should have. Without an air pocket, and therefore the body 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, ship them on down the road. For lack of oxygen. They died of any disease. For lack of oxygen. But then again, they can be talked into it, 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 crack a little bit with the non-motor hand tools like the saws, all and planers that I have because I'm getting I got it first of all I need to wear them up because you don't want the rust but the other thing is that I need to practice my skills because it's been a long time I've been I've been Rick Elcetrant in that I'm miss I have been a myth in that so I having to fix that which is what something I was doing just before the program here 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 for the whole pale gate full of stuff to get put away after the tour block here of 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 of 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 show people and so this is created the first significant great divide the other one could be in can you do something are you able to do something do you know the so do you know how to you know how to manufacture something do you know how to actually have a little 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 been a job to i'd word to do the same thing is like a put your mind to it you can do it But I want to fiddle fart with some shoe 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 just picked up more stuff yesterday for free, just about, might as well be. And now I've got everything I need to do, set up a little cobbler shop. I just need some logs, chunks of log and a few other tools to nail everything to and then 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, we guys all should be thinking ahead. I want to experiment with and see what best adhesives would work using car tires, 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 a tire for a 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 example is I could do that electric and do it fast and if I got a bunch of troops if I got somebody I need to repair a bunch of junk on that I got to have more than just the repair parts and inventory I've got in spare leather or you know neoprene souls and all the other fun stuff that I've been collecting over the years from a little group here or somebody stopped doing a you know hobby over there I Got to be ready to go the next step but 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 for 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 Then I got for $5 because it was surplus 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 surplus wave that came in back in the 70s, early 80s, which was kind of cool. Anyway, you all need skills and you need to practice those skills. 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 20th and 21st century kind of roll together. in that if you don't know how to do it, remember that is what the video tracks are really good for that are out there on YouTube, all these 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 want to look at several videos and you'll see differences of opinion on, but the basic information is there, and 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've 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 you know fumble screw the dark and guess so i can emphasize enough you want to 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 digest and jump from one thing to the next intentionally test the brain keep the brain gears going always every night i watch at least six technical videos at least. One of the things, the big debate with this weapons Wednesday, I'm going to tie in weapons Wednesday here, the Mark Serbo 50 caliber rifle that blew up the other day, it's pretty straightforward what happened, has to do with the munitions and, and now that I heard it from the operator what was going on, it was a slap problem and it may have modified slap round, 50 caliber slap. Anybody remember the slap rounds? Well, here's something I'm... 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 Mardi Grifens 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 used to a degree in the Barrett in the military contract configuration that they got and it was certainly used in the .50 caliber M2 Modus in its single shot capacity used as an individual placement shooting weapon. and could even be used backed up because it's a whole latest round if you start put the dollar range on target however the result that were described by the shooter by the the guy who uh... was a 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 with video taping 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 or even seven or eight different slits. all 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 built the way it is but a compensator is a very different story because what are you doing you're making a retro rocket the if you don't think so what is the product muscle compensator is taking the energy available at the end of the muscle and moving it in 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 that are actual factory, we have slap rounds made for the donut of destruction. that we've always held them back because we do have two different families of fifty calibers out there and because of that little issue with a compensator uh... it would vary depending on which one and remember if you look several weeks of the fifty 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 mis-loaded, which it could have been, they could have pulled the bullet. I've told you this and warned you about this many times, everybody thinks they want to drive the velocity up and the energy up as far as they can right to the limit, you know, the Dirty Harry Syndrome, Magnum, right? 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, 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 50 and we had the projectiles to make a slap mimic round, a mimic slap, okay? Anyway, if I did, we will experiment. I've done this many, many times. I've done this for decades since I started reloading, and it's because I came from, I think, a different school of thought. It's a background family because they were in precision everything. uh... when we do test batches we are actually color color code the 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 cantaloure 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 actually blue uh... in pomegranate pew's bank 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. Progressively go up in obviously the powder charge, we've loaded it up higher. Now we're not talking about extremes because usually when I do test like this, we'll 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 done 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 a 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, that 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 it's 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 were 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 In other 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 smoke, 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 responses, especially when you're manufacturing, because we are doing smokeless, but we are doing an earlier era of smokeless. So just like the Russian ammunition, remember I was commenting on the wool stuff here several years ago. Man, you fire enough of that stuff with 100 men in training, live fire, I've got it in video. And it's like you're at a muzzle loading match. You've got powder residue piling up in the air, okay, that you can physically see with cameras. smokeless is supposed to be, well, let's just say, 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. it's not going to be as telltale but if you're 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 it demonstrates that quality or the type of power uses 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 muzzle flare. A lot of you guys have seen that. Part of the reason is because many of the weapons you're using, the ammunition you're using, you've gone to shorter weapons or shorter, the weapon you have is a shorter barrel. Let me give an example. Model 91, Nagat versus the Carbine. Pull the trigger out one of those side by side towards twilight, you know, towards, you know, when it's getting darker in the day. Look at the gun, don't look at the range, 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, up to and including a grain of powder to get the 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, if 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 wave performance. On the other hand, with the .762 by 51 NATO or with the .30 caliber M1 round, or M2, forgive the .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, let's hear what we're going to do. Edward, if you can, we're at the bottom of the hour. We have a traditional weapons Wednesday, bottom of the hour break. We haven't played it enough recently. We need to do that. We've got to be religious on our end. So for everybody else... He said, you are swine. He hit me with a trifle and he kicked me in the groin. I begged and I pleaded all my honored words like, I will fix you, little arm. In the mall, sighted, swine, I landed sharp, robo company. And he left, and I don't know what on me. I'm a musician for this little arm. Well, this brave, arduous demon. He tried to only joke in the hoodie heard the art in the dark with company company left and the dark company for ammunition for me, little army. Well, when fire came around the bloody army, little army. A clip of ammunition for me. Somebody said that may not have been the M16 they were talking about. Well, it's 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. The AR M18 as we knew it. the uh... the arm like air one eighty while in civilians are sector the japanese made it all that rifle was up and that was in the hands of the british military and constabulary and it got rip hands of the five-finger discount and that ended up in the ira's hands in addition dude yah deeper at opto Well, man, this is good stuff, dude. Hey, Dieter, you want those AR-10 that you have? Why? I have a friend from overseas. We could say that we lost our AR-10 from Nederland, just Amipli, yeah, from the Dutch Army, yeah. Well, we could lose that and they'll give us cash, man. I mean, we don't really shoot our rifles anyway. We're 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 a 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 armor light, well it was in many cases the M16A1 or an AR, a regular AR, or an AR180 or an AR10 from Holland slash, so you never know. And there are quite a few other odds and ends that, of course, 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 one of those rifles was floating around before you start making them once again here in america the way that we did and do today work for the dot you probably wouldn't have a kind of weird but if we're for the dot you probably would have the air tenon or at least not the way we have it now in any good numbers it would take a longer for it to become interest and an issue and it was the part from holland that made it affordable to start building AR-10 receivers and then the rest is history as I say. So a couple of things here real quick, I mentioned scheduling. What I do is when you're testing rounds, you're also writing down everything, needless to say both. Using a loading tray, the reason I mentioned five rounds is 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, tape a little piece of paper 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're at at that particular moment, say with your little group of five red. Now this is for initial test and again this is where you also bag, rest the gun or you can vice rest. There are gun vices you can buy for test format shooting especially if you've got a gun you've done maintenance on and 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 bail frames. uh... 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 all again visual uh... signature uh... sound is not an issue you're pretty good at pew pew no matter what and it's going to probably be hyper-sonic although you can go the other way to start dialing down to issue altogether. But again, you're also paying attention to and looking to see what kind of a spread you get with the initial print with five rounds. And that's not too extreme. It's within reason that you're, if you understand the nature of the shooter and the performance of the operator so that you get somebody behind the gun that knows what they're doing, then you can go through the process of identifying what is the most desirable of the series of projectiles And yes, somebody's asking, do primers make a difference? Well, of course they do. Either standard or magnum primers are out there. Now, at this point in time, because of a lack of availability, you're going to probably take what you can get. I know that's been happening, because a lot of guys, we've had that conference until 3 in the morning recently about, well, what we have is what we have. 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. what if it's you know pistol rifle whatever so that's just another heads up everything affects the per the everything affects the flight of the bullet always remember that everything every element of what you do to the brass to the primer with the primer what type of primer what type of powder is obvious I mean there's a cornucopia there's a variable rainbow of powders then they not are 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, College, jump in there. Yeah, I can't find any primers for my rifles. The only one... I mean that's a little short, a journal 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 prior to the primer where they produce no matter how much towards you know new manufacturing ammunition and the priority is that most those companies that usually sell us the primers are the companies that make the ammo. So they're more concerned with keeping their you know the big customer base and the big product going with the loaded ammunition. Now Natchez is one I've always mentioned but you know another one to check Atlantic. They did get some ammunition in the other day and they also do reloading supplies as far as I know so Atlantic. Atlantic, let's see what they have. And the reason is, let's see. atlantic who else do we have now that the book like a much anything there paul meadow is why haven't checked recently i was thinking about that i mean you guys might have noticed that you mentioned paul meadow very much 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 that doesn't mean they don't have reloading supplies they do so we push it keep a high on paul meadow problem everybody else's so what we're looking for is uh... it will be that lanta paul meadow maybe maybe not They don't have any sales, not on primers. See if we got anything. Oh, they might. Uh, I'm going to have to ask them to take time. It might as always, they're another one. They're always take, but yeah, I was, yeah, I was just, I was looking for the seven six two large, uh, 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's 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, oh, 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 out of Nebraska. They used to be out of the Paragon. Somebody bought the name. Paragon. They're definitely not back up and online. But there's a couple on the central. Actually had some pretty, I have not heard anything about them and I just, I just spot checked myself. Well, let's just see if they maybe they had to go to another page. If they went under for a while and came back Paragon up there because I don't, they're the only thing, like I said, I've been watching for primers and pretty much whole companies have gone under, you know that. I mean, you're not even offering anything now. Oh, you don't want JG sales. Let's go to JG sales. As long as we're in the shopping mode here, JG sales.com. Let's go to JG sales.com. You have a good question here. Let's see what primers we can find. And again, JG sales, see if we can find primer loading stock in, and components, reloading equipment. Let's go to components. Brass cases bullets shot shell components. Okay. Well brass cases. I need primers like you said Well, let's go over to brass cases and see what it says. Whoa all products 100% all Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they say about bullet bullets in your let's go see what the bullets are like on their senior Let's go with 30 caliber and 32. What do we have in bullets? They only have nozzler. They only have two flavors of nozzle or in 30 caliber period. Otherwise, they're out well and again that like you said that the problem about now here's the other thing uh... i'm not going to be better me and point figures go there there they are personally believe that the big companies governments contour said you know rollback and don't produce so much because we don't want the presence really f and they've got it before i'm just to me i can see the copies not doing that though the fbi all that these other agencies are helping with the globalist get there you know what to do or would not surprise me if uh... But let's do this. We're gonna get in case because I don't want to leave them out. Well, they do have some dies. And that's about it. Looks like... Go ahead, caller, jump in there, please. You mentioned standard... Oh, yeah, branch rescue count. Well, precision. Yeah, that's final precision. I use a lot of those. Again, if you can get it, that's another part of tightening up the group. Well, you know, I used to bomb the big boxes. 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 large rifle? I haven't bought anything and I'm just living off of. Well, I see that's something I had a conversation with. It's like, you realize how many primers and somebody else looked at me at the caliber cans we loaded and loaded. I just got the cans. Well, you know, and again, the big thing is that as long as we keep it sealed and out of the environment, it's good. And also date it so that, you know, use the oldest first. Just start with 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 for him put stuff down range We're gonna go through everything pretty quick because you will be using it and somebody will be using it I don't see JG sales having any primers just as a heads up for everybody or anything else go ahead jump in there Please I think that'll about everything. I just wanted to remind you that there was a bench rest farmer Yeah, and you know bench rest was a special it not was it's still out there, but bench rest was one of those situations where, again, it's fully tied into the Wildcat community, guys. Most of the rounds we now consider the norm. It's just like the latest family of stuff. Really, they may not have used the term. But they started out as Wildcats. They started out as unique. Somebody said, oh, how long if I do this and this? And RCBS and any of these companies, I don't know what Lee is doing anymore, they should do, but if you give them the specs for a chambering, they'll build you a die set. 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 used to have their axiom, you know, how many feet do you want? Not 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, one of the first 50s I ever was associated with, I've mentioned this many times, was a big, still 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 the facing north here in michigan you come up to the gun room he opens up before we do anything you open up the windows that go out all to the side forty about a good eight hundred yards and he goes and any old here's this lemme can rolling block with about a five and called the compensator you what he was using for muscle compensators at that time because they were cheap we got for a dollar fifty apiece worthy boy are any tank or compensator The boys compensators you get them from sarco for a dollar fifty apiece or from gun parts Corp dollars and 80 cents And these are right. Yeah, that's not a rifle. It's an artillery piece I'll tell you what I liked, it was so damn heavy, you know, 50 cal, they always say, oh, they bite your shoulder when you make the home build. This was so heavy. Then they had that compensator did such a fine job when we wheeled that table over and locked the wheels. And I got my little butt behind it, and my younger kind damn behind it. I'll tell you what, that was the most fun I had, got top to that point. That was the most fun I'd had shooting a rifle right there. How was the concussion coming off of the muzzle brake? 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 barrel, really didn't get any less discharge, but the backwash, because the way he set up the window, because he was shooting all of that for years, and it was perfectly attuned, you know, didn't blow out your drums inside. We were wearing industrial earmuffs. Didn't have the ones like you have now that are normal, but that's where they came from. We had them from the shop. And so we were well protected, but we put earplugs in and then put the earmuffs on to be safe. We would have needed one protection or the other. In fact, it didn't cut anything. Outside, I would have probably done like you see them doing nowadays. You probably would have watered up the area in front if it was dusty, you know, just to make sure you didn't bring too much of a signature to it. But being the longer barrel, and this is what I can't emphasize with everything, guys, the more barrel you got, the less powder there is to leave in the end that's not burned. And with that much longer barrel, the amount of unburned powder, the muzzle flash, was a minimal signature, no worse than firing an optic, a 1903 Springfield or a 1917 Enfield. That was about the size of the muzzle flash out of the end of that gun. Okay. go ahead I'm sure I know that the I know that the concussion wave coming off of my M 99 is pretty good I'm gonna get to the right or left of you know you might want to be behind me you know you have waited across the log and blown the bark off the log yep yep exactly well I think that's why we were talking about teams rather than running the 50s in the team you put them in the weapons understand that you need a two or three, you know, it's a two-man or a three-man team, a security man, assistant and ammo carrier, the shooter, and then security two. A diamond, or you know, like for instance, forgive me, a pyramid, you're not left and right of the gun, guys, you're back and to the left, back and to the right. You don't want to be out and to the sides because, like you said, that muzzle will compensate. It's a physical slap if you're in the way of it, truly. Oh my. Yeah, I think so. Your gun barfed on me. That's nice. Even worse. Well, that's the thing is that again, we were engaging a target at 800 yards at that. And what he was using were 30 gallon, like I posted your improvised targets, go a 30 gallon industrial plastic barrel. And that way, because you leave the bongs open, when it hit, it popped up. Yeah, it knew if you hit it because you'd have that Hydra shock going through. and both the bung holes in the top, butter that he put in it, you know, he just put food, would shoot up and you knew you had a good, this is all you want. You don't need to do any more, just snag them. The red mist, don't you just love it? We've seen that before, yes, and we'll see more. That's a good news. Well, the blue is kind of like where the red mist mixed with the blue felt from a beret. I will, yeah. I'll let somebody else get on here and entertain you. Richard, 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, you know, if it looks people find out, we know how the tickle means. Another thing about especially the 50 calibers is, again, no matter what gun you want to build, if you want to do a home build, you can scale down. You can take the Mahdi Griffin or many of these 50 caliber designs that we're talking about, not so much in the 70 and the semis, because it's a lot of work. but in any of the manual operated guns one thing 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 command thirty thirty coming could you could do something to buy 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 545 has really good stability with the longer, heavier bullet that they came up with that we can actually get in some quantity still in the system. The thing is nobody builds anything. If you take the AR, if you were to build an AR-15 in a 20-inch barrel in a 545x39 chambering, I think everybody would be very pleasantly you know, happy, very approving of what they get in the way of performance with those. And one of the reasons is, in fact, I think, 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 weight that they came up with for the 545 by 39 Russian, you're going to see some incredible similarities. So just a heads up on that. But it's one of those things where it would be a niche gun. There's a lot of people that do have the earlier standard 545 ball, so it doesn't have to be a super precision system, but it would be nice to have something that would be a single shot placement shooter, model scope on the roof, and it's for single shot. If you hit it, you got it. If not, you don't shoot from that place again. Remember, never shoot twice from the same location. If you're a mobile marksman, what I mean, part of that line. And although again, it doesn't have great range, not the, you know, range of your heavier calibers that we've mentioned, but it would be interesting because I think you can keep the price down quite easily. The barrel barrels are available. There are actually some barrels out there that could be pressed into this because they made a bunch of that was in 7.62x39 and 5.49 that kind of still, and so there are a few 5.45 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. Remember, you can either thread, but many many SKS and AKs have been pinned into the receiver. 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, you can take some of the sophistication in terms of... You know the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny not to hunt to 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. Call the defense. Yeah, call the defense. He threw the mist with a flintlock in his. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, speaking low to me. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land and home for it. 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 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 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 jail. 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 so their children can either 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, rise. 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As Iooke 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 saw you 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, Jill the Land? the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself. Anyway, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm R. Korky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southeast, north, northwest, and south. You're listening to us on Liberty Tree radio dot four on Liberty Tree radio on satellite and we are on a minute from microstations CB base 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. The whole CONUS along with the outlying states territories and the clock. It is so seven p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is Weapons Wednesday, it is the 5th of May, it is the 13th year of Open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Association of America with a K 2021 Old Earth Calendar, 2021. Battle for the Repent. Something I just saw here that you guys, when you shoot things to me, it pops up and I'm doing things and I just all of a sudden it's like I read part of something, I'm doing that while I'm doing the intro. It's like I can stop you. uh... the more i there's nothing gonna fix this but going into an american war for independence to shoot their ass out of this nation there's many thing else going to figure if you think that you're going to do this with these worthless parties that have betrayed and whose job it is to listen to the post because they are there all petal and all they do is play the dog and pony show routine back and forth back and forth with the same you know spinning your wheels while they move everything closer towards the destruction of your common liberties your and your mutual liberty interest So, we got a lot of work to do. As it is, I wanted to touch on one other thing here before we go any farther. I should have gotten it in the last hour or two, forgive me. But over at Bowtash, and you'll probably know I'm going Bowtash, you are a weapons platform. Your feet are the foundation. You need more boots, period. And everybody goes, oh, I can't afford, well, how about $9.98? Now, not all of you are going to take advantage of it. It would be quite honest if I could get these in my size. I'd buy a dozen, seriously. I wouldn't even hesitate. I'd buy a dozen. And I'm not even thinking twice about it, but unfortunately they're only going to fit three sizes. Nine, nine and a half and ten clearance item. Okay. You go over to Botash, B-O-T-A-C-H dot com, Botash dot com, Botash dot com. When you get there, these are Maelstrom boots. They're just regular utility fighting boot, combat boot. They're serviceable enough, a lot of people, in fact more than a few of you have called in and you're wearing the boots right now. The big thing is these are lace-up standard front, but they are a side zip. So for speed, you know, for speed, kit, dress, no cool. The big thing is you go to motash.com, B-O-T-A-C-H dot com, and then you go to their, over on the left side it says clearance, and you touch that. Now you 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. And then if you just do the, 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. That's it. 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 and a half, maybe those may be sold out, I don't know. But that, you'll have to go over to the regular section. particular one nine ninety eight excellent price a lot of you people if you don't have votes for your real the women uh... some new girls can fit into nine sir nine and a half for your food put by those before you people who have children uh... can i remind you that what you already know your kids are growing if your kids were sized nine uh... by a nine and nine and a half of a ten one-on-one 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 adults and they would fit the kids perfectly. So they were running around in $300 pairs of jump boots, $5 a pair back in the day. I deal with one of the wholesalers. Now it's not $5, but it's $10. And if you buy 12 of them, it's $9. So you really can't beat this. And I'm going to harp on it and make sure it's in here. Whoever gets there first fine. I've already got an order in. probably going to put together shortly but you just can't beat it. If you keep an eye on Botash they have this happen but it hiccups. It only lasts for a minute in their sizes and sometimes none of the bigger sizes are there as in this case. What they're doing is they're clearing off a certain model because the next wave of the same model is coming in. I'll give you an example when you do a item you scroll down a little bit you'll see that there are other sale items. You know for instance they've got a maelstrom. They've got some of the other maelstrom boots that pop or or nine dollars or whatever very one unfortunately you go to them you tag it because of the re-index is the 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 size 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8 wide. If you're a wide, for $20 a pair, they're in the black 9 inch mil spec combat boot. And again, 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. The heads up there. And more than two would be preferred. I would recommend this per person if you can afford to do that. Go ahead, Carl. Shelby from Oklahoma. Weapons Wednesday. The magazine into the magazine. Cinco di ammo day. And we need to find more ammo. Actually, a friend of mine just come up and kind of smiled. He said, I bought one of the stores out today. Really? He goes, yeah, I bought all seven boxes they had. Oh, okay. It's what they had that was left. And basically in the regular, you know, there's some odd stuff, but he bought out everything that came in that was left after everybody wrote today. And they were out of everything 762 by 39, 223, 556, 762 by 51 so yes, cinco de amo de señor y señorita, you need more ammunition for your pistola, for your rifle, and how much do you need? More. It's just that simple. You can't afford to pull the trigger hard on anything but you know, guess what, she's going to give you your background. The little 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. They said, well, at least they got in the right hands. Because no, they didn't. They got sold to dealers and they're... 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. What powder inventory is out there, some of what's bleeding out is that are the guys that did invest, kind of like what those guys doing. the guns, 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 to have people asking me questions about because it's something that somebody invested in back and we got it cheap. They're still sold it for a good price and you can buy it for a reasonable price. It's part of the whole idea of you know if they screw you out of your retirement this is the next best thing and in fact assume they're going to screw you out of And that's who was mostly selling this stuff for people who bought this for the long haul investment. And so I don't complain about that at all because you know many of the people who I know right here in Michigan who were with GM, Chrysler and Ford all in the 90s came into play on and they figured that well you all die off and so nobody will know. They turn right around, they do it again to another group in the ops and then they do it to another group in the teams and right into 2020 here. And the only thing that saved most of those men from the 90s, because right off the bat when they retired, GM cut their benefits and their retirement in half. Of course, their assumption was they were going to be at a certain level. Well, the guys that laughed at all the other guys that bought ammo, they weren't laughing so much. In fact, I'm going to tell you something. When they destroyed their retirement, everything, so many people committed suicide. Just a heads up, we had this problem with one of the plants down here just south of us, you know, and all of a sudden they were trying to tell everybody, don't push this, the Naphtinget garbage is screwing us over, don't push it, don't push it. They did, and all these people that had their retirement tied into this garbage, well a whole bunch of introverts, like I've said, they, you know, they, what to do, I'm doomed. Now, mind you, they still had a retirement. And it's always bothered me to begin with, it's like, well, you know what? You were looking for a job when you came in, you left it because you got to the limit. Guess what? You probably have to get your ass 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 psychotropics because their doctors were scurrilous. And then they, of course, got into the spiral down and they either go introvert 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 necessarily, it's all kinds of other stuff that happen. Again, those guys, those are the guys that 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 than 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 way to the game but motivate all feet late but younger okay if nothing else i mean guys the nineties or thirty years and then you know taillights nineteen nineties thirty years ago and a lot of guys let me give you an example of we would make trips down to the middle of ohio dot world emma is about their comeback with uh... may have basically you could with private but you p.s. vamp used to be two dollars a pound for military powder if you're willing to travel the more you bought the better the and we had a company, we had a deal there, they're in and they would bring so many semis up and drop them off at the main warehouse they had, which was out in the middle of nowhere, a little dot town, and there's two things that they had that you wanted to go there for. They had for $2 a pound if you bought the ordinance and the other thing was your Middle Eastern ammunition for that the Israelis were getting rid of out of all and they had these street people that were sorting the ammo out, 762 by 39, there would be pallet bins of everything 9 millimeter 40 45 ACP 30 out 6 for from the Browning guns 762 by 51 NATO 8 millimeter Mauser at 30 caliber carbine and they'd have bins well one time I stopped in here they had 48 ballad bins half my height 4 foot tall solid still loose ammunition of Now, you could buy a whole bin of that yourself. You didn't have to wait for the street guy to sort it. They'd take street people, pay them minimal wage, and they were just sitting there, and that's all they'd do, is just sort the ammo. And you could buy sorted for, well, still a good price, but you could buy that whole bin for $180. Now, you were that smart guy that retired, you bought a bunch of those, and you sorted it out yourself and canned it up. Now you come out and you're selling that stuff on the market for a very good price. you make better than your retirement package and since your retirement package period you're making something which is better than sucking vapors and basically eating oatmeal every night. I'm not going to be grudging these people that have thought ahead of all the rest who are shallow-brained or who again are just in the wrong time and place and this is how you do it. So I hope more people do that to be quite honest because again, it's like I said, we just got some 29 cents around. Now the guy I know bought it for four cents around. and so he just sat on it and you with the stripper clip romanian stuff that came in years and years ago and there was even from you go which uh... everyone thought seems to pop out the inventory but that may be from another direction other stuff going on uh... that nineteen or the religious 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 eight-round mags and it's like you should buy all of your seven-round mags but by more eight-round bags It's that simple. Gun parts and stuff like that are for buying and hanging out to increase inventory. Remember, it's kind of nice to have more magazines you can load up and leave in places. You don't have to carry them all. What we do is, like I said, if you watch, go to majorsurplus.com. They have these little multi pocket pistol pouches, mag pouches that actually can be used as a little bag. 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 got your 45-10, your combat holster on your belt. You're carrying a couple of mags. You've got them in your pocket. You've got them on a covered hanger so that they don't get beat up when you're moving around with a do-it-air. Well, let's say all of a sudden you're noise outside. Well rather than just those two mags, if you got these things hanging, well 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, magging 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 of M&P with a 15 round magazine capacity. They'd still be carrying a bandolier. Well, I've got lots of round. Never have 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 at least get you, if you got into something, it'll allow 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 thought it was mostly caught on video where the bad guy who was friendly that was in the you know contact tree deal with 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'll start something did work for him but what's really fun is that 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 the black uniform thought you had to be there when nobody else was around right yeah right so anyway uh... nothing you're real quick with the uh... but major surplus dot com major surplus dot com by the way of somebody is asking its major like the major you know there's a bajar song 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 there not aftermarket there just your present contract market approaches made for the utility work. So you can find them in different camo patterns. They've got them in OD green, they've got them in black, they've got them in tan, they've got them in coyote. And some, like I said, some camo patterns are kind of unique. Major has them, nobody else does, as far as some of these patterns. So look at and see what it is. It might float your boat. Prices are the same for all of the above. They list and show you colors they have. So if you need to match up other gear or your terrain, not a problem. Somebody's asking, would you put these in like a cash? Well, yeah, as a matter of fact, okay, hold on here. Let me read what it says here. That type, or would you use something else like a utility bag? Well, it's purely a matter of what you have to spend. If you're using, if you're using a pistol, what's kind of handy is that, yes, if you have individual pockets, you know, you're gonna know, you know, you can quick touch field with the left hand while the right hand's operating the weapon, or keeping the weapon 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. I understand that as I've been engaging, I'm down to my last round, I dropped the mag, I let it fall. Even as I'm doing that, my hand is reaching over to that little banana chest pouch that I put on, that little strip, that little eight pocket pouch. I can tell with my fingers what pouch is empty or not as I pull it across my chest, I pull it across the front of my chest there, put the hand on it, find the pouch, quickly flip up. It takes longer for me to describe this than to do it, but to pop the tab 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. 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 point at 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 you're feeling, and then as you evacuate the mag, don't bother trying to put something back in these little mag pockets. We'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 know exactly what you've got left with a touchy feely even in darkness. You can identify exactly what you have in inventory. And again, remember, if it's in defense, when you're firing, you're falling back towards the next mag pouch or the next pile of mags or something you've got set up or better cover and better... The pistol was only being used to get you to the... Oh, there it is. You know, the pistol is designed to get you to the bigger next gun. And although sometimes that's what you're working with, you'll stick with. But, you know, 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. We have 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. I just got some phenomenal shin armor for three dollars. It's a police shin armor. It was brand new, it's a clear plastic carrier. It's black. Now, I could paint it, which I might do, but I'll leave it black because sometimes I need black. I need black everything to 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, Beeler uses black, secret police gun grabbers wear black, but American patriots, we don't wear black. Okay, we don't wear the interior police KGB uniform. So your gear, the biggest problem is, and I know we're balancing it out, because yep, I got lots of pouches like that. If you can, when you're buying new, buy something that matches the color standard, you know, the 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 have some. But if the green were gone, out of gone, black on those 99 cents, you know, super sale, sure. But if you can get another color, try to get a color. The other thing here is with regard to, oh, that was a good point. What would I use for lubricant with a 1911? Well, it depends on where I am, but for the most part, I just use a standard, a conventional oil with a light grease on the rail, a luber plate, which I can use on the rifles, works really well on the automatic pistols. On both of your rails. Now we're not talking gooping it up, so it's like, you know, you can see the grease. Remember, we talk about applying grease. You take your little finger, you can use a Q2, the same thing, and you literally coat After you've cleaned and washed, you know how to do that. You know, cleaned and scrubbed, you make sure everything's squared away, no carbon, no debris. Once you've got the metal back to where it's supposed to be, where the crystal is clear, then you're going to take an oil, that particular area, you know, that you've cleaned off if you're not the whole of the action slide in frame. Then you're going to turn around and at key points, which include the rails, you can apply, like for instance, luber plate or whatever weapons grease is your personal favorite, you know, there's a dozen out there. Or industrial greases, because there's a number of them that are out there that are very expensive, it's just people don't mention them because they never think to spend the money. Maybe you've got a shop where you've got a little bit of the stuff you can procure, just a dab. And you apply a very light coat, but you run it down the rail and the trough, and you also run it on the rail, on the... whatever possible contact sites or RPC shiny especially do that you'd be amazed how effective that that works and again this is like you you were not talking about bathing anything in oil or bathing anything in grease 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 just 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, call or 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 moist and nuggett M38. It's not beautiful, it's just an M38. I know you know what that is. Yeah. And it comes with... Oh, 20 rounds shy of a thousand rounds. I'm calling it a thousand rounds, easy math. He said he had it on consignment for 720 bucks. 720 bucks for a thousand rounds of 7.62 by 54 surplus. Anyway, I called him back this morning and asked him 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 around. 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 Ames 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, you know how that is. Probably around 50 cents around, wouldn't it? Well, it's been running on an average. Well, what about... About fifty two fifty four 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 and they had some of that here It was 15 rounds per 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 Okay, they still have the PPU 762 by 54 are 1295 for 15 rounds So that's leaning towards a dollar a round right there. And there is, for instance, what they do have, Red Army. What is the bullet? What do they got for ammo? What is the, what type? Cans or serpus. Well that'd be 440 rounds probably per can, right? Yes, they are. So there's two cans of them and some that are in boxes. There's 973 rounds, I think. I'm just calling that a thousand. Well, okay, right now that for instance surplus Russian 762 by 54 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 ago. Well, you still got that's only 440. He said there's a thousand rounds, right? Yeah. Well, it's a little more than they actually got to figure the ammunition would be about $530. I mean, it varies. You can find, you're not finding as much of the spam can stuff around anyway. We know that. $150 for the rifle and for the ammunition combined. If you calculate it that way isn't bad. I mean, the rifle itself, remember that, now it doesn't, it's the model 38 doesn't have the bayonet. That's correct. Okay. So it's a straight short artillery carbine, but they regard to everybody got them artillery and cavalry, that model. Yeah, okay. Well, that's not a bad little package. It's whether or not you want the carbine and again, you could do the math with the Nagants going for what they are, the Gants going for what they are right now. Since we've seen them three and $400 apiece, right? In fact, guys, just do a quick search. If anybody's wondering, well, Mark, you used to get those for under $100. 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. Well, you can read it. You should be able to find the nomenclature. It should be out right there for you, you know, 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 rounders? Green box. You mean like a mild green cardboard plane? Yep. Yeah, the wrapper, you know paper tape paper tape seal top right white paper black print. I don't remember it. I hope well, it's easy. Okay. Well, it's a personal flavor thing. You could dick her with him and say hey, what do you how about you know, come down? You know, if wherever you can get a few dollars off it get a few dollars off it. What's what's what was his final right now? What did he say again? 650 so 500. I mean, I'm looking at the price right here. And by the way, I'm not counting shipping yet. Well, so Yeah, if anybody find 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 percon the gun I didn't look down. Oh, 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'm 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 they build 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 of them look like they were virtually new factory guns for all the purposes. Oh yeah it does, it's got laminated wood, it's beautiful. They're good weapons, they were just nicer when they were $69 a piece, but those days are long gone, not until after the war's done. I remember that. I've been tagging with you since the 90s. Well, 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, if the Nagants, 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 all the old so because they did not consider the mob salute they did an entire series of rebuilds which is why we're getting the benefit of the worst seeing it's just that when they were sixty nine dollars you couldn't build a gun for that price you could make that dot Now the prices are now intermediate the one you're 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 for the gun and less for the ammo Paying more for the ammo and a little less for the right. That's where I'm Yeah, well, I'm just saying give me a counter bit say hey, what about it goes even if you get $20 off you know I am I already got $70 off. Right. Oh no, 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 lemonade start. Well, a lot of those, a lot of those were, they weren't all laminated. A lot of them were solid wood, single, and there's another wood out there, it's not birch, but it's comparable. Remember, in the US military birch was a second line alternate heavy, or forgive me, hardwood. With the Europeans, it was the norm and the Chinese the same way. So that's why you see, especially the farther north you go with the arsenals, they were using indigenous local production for the stock where possible. that you'll find a lot of the standard hardwoods for the period 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 neural or burl. One thing, they were always consistent for that. And I've held a lot of nagons. I've had a lot of the moisten models in every variant. And for that matter, even in there, there are some out of stocks like in the Tokarev's. You would think that we'd see something like we have, you know, all the different, you know, I won't say flawed, but we have a more, there's more character to the wood. That's what the term is normally used. We use both the wood or the leather, and you don't see any character in any of these Warsaw Pact weapons that are, or they should say communist era weapons. You're sure you're 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 a surplus section there and he's been doing a lot of the surplus leather So he's got some of the other he's got some good prices on or at least he did I don't always got left look at this last couple weeks, but I know he's got he's had slings and for it's playing for that rifle Okay Yeah, JG sales calm and what you do is go over to check my mold I'm curious myself as long as I mentioned it if you go over to JG sales Oh by the way before you go any farther. I mentioned AIM surplus they have 762 by 51 NATO they have three different some 62 by 54 are loads and then they have some 9 millimeter Tula, you know, palamo, you know Tula ammo 27.90 for 50. What the hell? Well actually that's average nowadays. What the hell? But now they've got some steel. But I told you guys to buy all way back a year ago. A way back a year ago. Anyway, go to JG sales. Go to www. JG sales. We're going to go find out what they have left. JG sales. And when you get over to JG sales, he has a section there which is accessories and range gear. It's a second item down. Touch that. Okay. And when you get there on the right-hand corner surplus military surplus doesn't have much sometimes he has two pages uh... spanish mauzer slings he's got those their little high but they're there the require they've sold a lot i don't see any of the they got things 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 not m forty leather flap holsters for five dollars apiece And those are a nice little holster if you've got like a Lattie or a, another one will fit in there, the P-38s, but it's a working holster. They're gonna need to be cleaned up. Gone, as far as the nay got. Everybody's doing the same thing, they're scouring the countryside. Now the other option then is go to Apex Gunparts and see what they have. Okay. That's the other one. I just found a swing online. Oh, if all it fails, you can do a hangar with brass, you know, do your rings, because that's right. You make a hanger for your making your bracket with brass. You can use braiding rod or you can use heavy gauge steel rod, steel wire to make your hanger. Just do a good 90 degree bend and then you can use nylon for the slings. I mean if you're looking for just a working man sling, that's fine. but there are some other ones that even have the hanger the leather hanger of the you know there's a couple of ways those were made the ones that are mostly out there right now are the bulgarium the romanian and then some of the chinese uh... i've been thinking about a change recently but uh... your surplus is another one they had some of those items maybe they've got some of the stock right now too but i checked apex comparts because they just got a whole gaggle of stuff and and they were they're doing pretty good my biggest deal is this It's really not in my income bracket, but I didn't spend all my $1,400 stimulus, so if I'm going to do it, I ought to do it now. We're going to stimulate something all right, from about 400 to 500 yards out, right? Yeah. I got my stimulus ammo. I mean stimulus money. Well, that's what I'm thinking. Yep. okay thank you very much more appreciate you so much well good question and be it again because it depends where you are in the market of the country as far as what you can access and uh... uh... this delicate that's a reasonable price for a bolt action manual operated surplus cut right now go look at what the monsters of the negates 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 little cake combination If it was a new person, it'd probably be reasonable because it's one-stop shopping. If you're listening out there and you get a package deal like that, it's a good way to make sure you're done. At least you got something right away, and it works. These old military rifles guys are meant to take. 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. Well, several years ago, I got a 9130, and then A few years back I got an M44, so an M38 just goes right in the pile real good. Yeah, in fact, it's good for the collection anyway. If 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 know. all will cheat on that they've got some happy older dot cheap though but if you go re-pack gun parts always check their sales and deals first because you never know what you're going to run into their and there's a lot of purpose also bad i can't i said don't even get restart thank you welcome thank you sir and we are almost the top i gotta remind you guys again i didn't forget 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 them up, gotta go grab them. And it's unfortunately only 24 hours in the day and I try to use all 26. The, um, we, Friday I think we'll start the drawing. It's not that we don't have everything here, it's just, you know, coordinating with it. I don't want to make sure we get it right. And, uh, heads up for Liberty Tree Radio and it's going to be you donate and your number, your name is put in the book for, you know, every dollar that you donate, which is cool. And then we turn the drum and we pull your name out of there and you to us. If you're the person that is on the little slip, we send a gift to you. That's how it works. Well it's kind of fun because you never know who's gonna who's gonna be the one getting the gift. Uh, 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, you know, B, or whatever, it does mean something. The number four mark one is a totally different weapon in many ways almost 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 extract the ejector would and a bunch of this stuff is come in old world war two or korean war inventory brand new old story in the box and so if you have a bunch of end fields and i have a bunch of people asking about the smellies number one mark three a lot of very very useful parts at apex right now and you'll have to go through it all the time do it on the air uh... for instance uh... number four uh... mark two pin springs set of five for 1695 brand-new in the box never issued World War two you know era and they're dated all the stuff is dated on top everything else there's no doubt when the stuff was made what it is what it's for but you get a whole wrapper set which means you can leave them away they are because they probably in the grease still in the cosmoline paper wrap etc Another thing is, also there are number one Mark III Lee-Enfield Rifle Magazine bodies. I've had a chance to see these. They're $8.95 a piece. There's nothing wrong with those bodies, but you still will need the base follower, the spring, and the actual follower. The base is actually a guide. There are good bodies. They still need to be degreased. They need to be cleaned up, and then you can either hard coat them or do whatever you want to do for a finish. you know, gonna do with the ones that I've seen is they're gonna get, do a light sand blast bead blast on them, not a hard blast. After we get degreased and cleaned up and then they're gonna get a hard coat on them and then they're gonna be ready to roll, ready to use. So yes, those are good. If you're looking for a body for British number one mark 3 Enfield need more mags. Those 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 the top and last but not least uh... again with regard to somebody's asking about fighting world war two type leather there are some reproductions out there in fact you might even find a reproduction of bud k dot com however remember the traditional nineteen eleven leather slings have the brass postal field up you know stud You have a slit in the in the in the flap and then you have a like a basically it's a button and you there's 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 or 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 and original and try to keep your fleet, you know, say a World War II 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, undied 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 that internal act with your gun. Now you 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 a like Mink oil or whatever, but you're going to have to work or sit down in front of the TV, grab yourself a rag and work that in. And you want to make that leather more malleable. 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. You know, of course, especially I know it's got to be worse if they're using the hard plastic arrow against a typically 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, the little tricks of the trade, you just want to work the leather beforehand. You buy any of this new leather. Again, go to see what's going on. If it's used like the one I was just talking about, you're going to have to 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 commutable. That is again copper oxidation So you need to clean that off. You're gonna want to scrub it out first get it use a brush be patient Get the little carbon out made out of plastic and you know 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 or it's inside towards the gun. What is that going to do? It seals up the brass so that it doesn't oxidize as quickly. Now remember you may still get some stain and material and gunk around that stud. Let's get that all rubbed off and washed off first. Clean it up. Get yourself some paper towel or tissue, wipe it, and see you've still got some booger green there. If you've got some booger green there, you've still got some work to do. Prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. And yeah, everything requires a little bit of initial effort. But you end up with a good product, a good item that you know works because historically it has personal preference. 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, we're at the top just about and I will remind you got Craig from Forbidden Knowledge coming up next.
