I remember a teacher that I had. Now I only, I went through the seventh grade. I went through the seventh grade. I left home when I was 10 years old because I was hungry. I used to be. I used to do it too. I work in the summer and I go to school in the winter. But I had this one teacher. He was the principal of the Harrison School in Winstanst, Indiana. To me, this was the greatest teacher, a real stage of my time anyhow. He had such wisdom. And we were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day. And he walked over, this little old teacher, Mr. Laswell was his name. Mr. Laswell, this is, um... He says, I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester. And it seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word. I, me, an individual, a committee of one, pledge. dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity, allegiance, my love and my devotion to the flag, our standard, oh glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she weighs, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job. United. That means that we have all come together States individual communities that have united into 48 great states 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose all divided with imaginary boundaries yet united to a common purpose and That's love for country and to the Republic Republic A state in which sovereign power is invested in representative chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people. And it's from the people to the leaders. Not from the leaders to the people. For which it stands. One nation, one nation. Meaning, so blessed my God. Indivisible, incapable of being divided. With liberty, which is freedom. the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation. And justice, the principle, or qualities of dealing fairly with others, for all. Which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country and two words have been added to the pledge of allegiance under God. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer? And that would be eliminated from school stew. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. To the number you traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn and your daughters visit doctors so their children Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for 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 each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, is to still the land of the free? Remember, do not take any of the murder-death kill shots. What you want to do is remain a pure blood Yeah, they're really crinkling your ears over that one. You seem propping at the mouth. Oh, no, I haven't taken any of the government dope I'm a pure blood and I think I'm gonna stay that way you guys can do what you want though Yeah, well actually we should that is quite accurate And so good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening. Intelligence report time, our kirnky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines, in occupied territories, southwest, east, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... libertytreeradio.4mg.com, Liberty Tree Radio on satellite, and we are on AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and UltraNet 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 Grace City, Jeff Song with Comacy, Outline Two States Territories, and the clock it is. No way, it's 8-10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is the 22nd of September, Weapons Wednesday. It is the 13th year of Openthebium, the socialist and Soviet socialist. Occupation of America with a K, they're pissing in your face right now. And 2021 Old Earth Calendar, 2021 Battle for the Republic, the dance of sorts. Footwork, people, footwork, shield and blade. Footwork, shield and blade. Whatever the kata combination that you come up with, stick to it and remember the purpose behind a routine or a series of actions to bring you to an end result where you can deliver a terminal engagement blow remember doesn't mean it's what it is gonna be boxing Taekwondo combat infantry doesn't make any difference you have a series of actions one two three punches and then a Specific decisive act now it may not work But then again most boxing matches don't last for just one round do they? Sometimes they do most of the time They don't same is true in life with regard to all the other Types of situations we're going to run into here anyway. It's weapons Wednesday and again. I'm serious Don't take the murder death kill shots watch the others drop it's sad, but it's exactly what's happening. We've got this happening with relatives in our family and the taking the second wave is really it's a binary weapon system is what it's looking like everybody's getting the second shot if it doesn't put you down initially and turn you into a dizzy dingle don't worry the second one probably will get you and kill you and needless to say we have to protect all the people who got the shots from the people who didn't get the shots So there was no reason for taking the shot because it doesn't make any difference then. No, it gets worse if you've taken the shots and supposedly you're around everybody else. Now you're more susceptible to everything. So then it attacks your immune system and destroys your ability to defend yourself. Wow, why would I want to take that stupid program? That's stupid. That is just plain stupid. You're looking at idiot sticks. Treat the idiot sticks as idiot sticks. We're done with them piss on them all As far as that goes, you know do you can but I'm just saying as far as this idea Well, you need to come along for the shipwreck. No, it's okay. I'll watch them over here. It's cool. It's really great. Oh my goodness look bad No, I'm not participating and I'm not acquiescing to any of your farcical fake authority. So goodbye Well, actually we'll probably goodbye pop pop boom. Boom because that's gonna be gonna get rid of the turds the ones that are pushing the agenda. Anyway, Weapons Wednesday. I mentioned the BarSCA series of scopes. They've actually been around for a while, hadn't really sat down and thought about it, but BarSCA came out, well, should say, came into the country back what, 1989, 1990? That's the first time we started to see their small format scopes and a couple of their basic scopes. And then they had one really good price long-range bar meter and they were cheap. I remember I mentioned that you know $27, $28 a piece if you bought one they were like $29 if you bought two or three I think it was three at a time is $27. So you did save a few dollars and if you were serious about using that scope for a certain rifle and you wanted to keep that one rifle in service, let's say you're one-gun man, then you want spare scopes. something happens, you bust it, you don't want to say, oh my god, what do I do? Well, for $27 a scope, basically you just unscrew one and screw another one right on the roof. And the advantage is no turnaround time to figuring out how the scope works. Now this is especially critical with operations because you have no downtime with regard to bringing the same weapon you're using in the field right back into action. Now you're still going to have to confirm site point of impact, but it's a lot easier when the site you took off and the site you put on are identical. Don't have to relearn how you're looking through or observing through the scope, through the siting system, and that's especially good. I don't care what system you use. This is still true. Now the problem is when you go real high end, Well, they have a backup scope. You got to go real high-end again So in many cases your scopes can run more than the cost of your weapon and it's it's a flavor choice thing This is America if you want to do that double plus good thumbs up myself I'm fielding a lot of different weapons and I have a lot of caches with Auxiliaries that we can hand out as needed and they're not punk a junk guns, but I'm also you know not to spend three thousand or eight thousand dollars in a rifle like idiot core idiot Marine Corps for a punka junk piece of crap that we could have made here but really won't. Anyway, the BarSCA 3x9, now it used to be, I will point this out to you, I've got to correct myself here. When they first came out, the BarSCA 9 power was the baseline middle scope that they had. And you get to have a variable power, you know, a couple of scopes that had variable, you know, variable options. But there were the minority. The big thing is they came into the basic scope market. Now, very quickly, as it became more notable, the Barscas started to branch out and bring in more of their product line. And that's where the variable power scopes appear and really overshadow all the rest now. Although there are still a few of the Barscas, if you look at the whole line, you can get anything you choose who you want. And you can choose what you need. They even still have the quantity prices if you're going through certain companies, but most of the companies, sportsmen guides, TDNN sports, whatever, have some of the BarSCA scopes in stock. Typically, the baseline one is a 3 to 9 by 40 millimeter, blue tinted multiple coated optics. I'm going to read right down the list here, waterproof, fog proof, and shock proof. Well, aren't they all? Yeah, one to a degree. That always guaranteed. Second focal plane P4 reticle. One inch aluminum tube includes rings, which is a nice feature. Not everybody includes rings or even a cheap set of rings with their basic scope which they should is an option because they really don't cost that much of anything to really get out there. Quarter inch MOA adjustments. Eye relief is two to three inches. FOV 100 yards 36.6 13.6 12 inches in length 16 ounces or in other words one pound on top of the gun Now what would I put this scope on? I put it on there 15 But where I'm really interested in this scope and where we've used a variation on this for many many years long as I've been building rifles over the years is on the Average, like, military rebuild, something where somebody sportorized it, or if I'm doing something from parts. The other consideration is just inexpensive sporting rifles. You have walked through the door to gun show. Used to be I just fitted the tables, and it would be nothing to have a nice, you know, early savage come through for, yeah, $80. No, I'm not talking a tactical savage. And they've been around now for decades, by the way. The tactical savages that became the premiere of the the line, they were relatively cheap. They were still cheaper than everybody else back when this was going on, but every once in a while a Stevens or something else in a bolt gun would show up and it probably didn't have optics on it. Well, first of all, you clean it up. If there's any little dots of rust or something on it because it was a, you know, a closet corner gun or something, or maybe it was a handgun in the barn, you used to have a bunch of those come in. First thing you're gonna do is figure out what you got to do with the with the weapon itself. Take it out of the stock, take them break everything down, clean everything up, degrease everything, look at any oxidation, fix the oxidation, then turn around and start dealing with the other problems that you know are going to develop if you don't take care of them now, including finish. You may just want to, like I said, paint it. There's a number of hard coats that were available even 30 years ago, 40 years ago. But regular Krylon paint will work just fine. It's what the British did forever. And some weapons they still do. So while the quality of that paint was a lot better, it was also lead-based by the way, which nobody wants to talk about. Oh my God, lead-based paint on my rifle. Oh, I better not lick it. I might get lead poisoning. Oh God, I'm gonna die. Well anyway, probably at some point you will, but not probably from left poisoning from your rifle and rifle paint or you paint on all the other military vehicles and equipment which are all lead-based too, okay? Anyway, once you have the finish done, then you're looking at, well, what can I do to give it something with a little bit of reach, optics-wise, the 3-9 power scope is the perfect middle grade scope that everybody can handle. Not over sophisticated. But not, you know, with a variable power scope, you do have a few other considerations when adjusting and then having to refocus, etc. We know how that works. But basically the scope is very simple. I run it mostly at 9 power. I don't know, it's very seldom I've ever pulled it down to 3. But it's there. And some shooters like that, depending upon range engagement and the conditions. Especially close conditions, swamp work, that kind of thing. That's where you bring it down to three and use it for intermediate short range and in what are considered closed conditions where you just want a little more ability. Usually you look over the site until you need to use it, drop your head into the alignment and boom, there you go. Now, they're bigger, as I pointed out, 12 inch. So you're not looking at like one of the little China scopes, which typically were 5 or 6.5 power and 6, although they had one that was variable. It was 3 to, what was it, 3 to 7, some really oddball combination, but it worked, and it was actually a very compact scope, and it was only $9.95. And you know what? Most all those are still in service. But this is the baseline. Now, well, what's the price right now? If you go to Sportsman's Guide, they're like $60, $59.39. If you go over to CD&N Sports, $58. If you go over to, you know, KeepShooting.com, if they haven't been stocked, I don't think they do right now, then you're looking at, you know, about $50, I think $52 around there. So the price range is typical of what you see, like, with all the optics. There's not a whole lot of give on them to begin with. It's like night vision. But just as a recommendation if you got a utility gun you're putting together like we're talking about building one of those Arasaka's I am NOT going to spend more money on the optics than I did on the gun first of all with a weapon that is a stashed gun The good thing about this too. I this makes this much more affordable for me able to Take the whole weapon and put it into a tube along with a certain amount of ammunition web gear equipment food medical and I can walk away and I'm not going to cry about it, but I do know when I pull it out it will do everything it needs to do. Ain't going to win any pretty awards, but by God it will put a bullet on someone real quick. These optics are reliable, but here's the thing. Now if I was in serious shoot mode, but I just wanted something again as a placement rifle, I'm not going to be the world's greatest sniper, although I'm going to catch up here real quick if I can, and I'll do everything I can to put the bullet on every target I have crosshair on, right? But if I were going into the field, it's a scope like this that I would use normally with two other backups. Oh yeah, you're gonna need them because you know, blah blah blah. No, that's not the issue. I'd carry two more and they'd be hard-cased. And if something happens, again, I have no downtime. If I've got a two or three thousand dollar piece of glass on the roof, yeah, certainly I still am going to reach out and do what I need to do. But by God, I run into a tree at night. I'm gonna be crying. It's like those guys back when we in the in the late in the 70s and into the 80s where they were they had these $3,000 HK's that you know because that was a gun you had to have. Arnold had them in the movies too by the way. You know, I ever watch with commando. Yeah, he re-reaches into the into the arm shed and there's HK 91s on the wall of course way before that. The guns were popular if you could afford them. But my god if a man carried in the field he paid $3,000 for it back in the day We were making more money than we are today I will say that but money hand over fist and it's America so you could afford to do it if you chose to but By God people would fall in a bayonet or fall in a grenade Rather than scratch their HK 91 that cost $3,000 and the first time they did a booby on it Oh my god the caterwauling, okay Oh, this guy's my variable! Trust me, son, you're going to do it a lot. That's why I'm carrying one of these. I have either like a Garand, a Fed Ord M14, or something like that that we were using in the field. AK, of course, too. And if it was an AK, it was a beater AK. Again, it's the idea that when you have some of this technology, you start to get fearful because you really can't replace it. I spent every penny I had to get the Vortino Vortium 3-4-16 ultra wide dioptics with electronic day and night capability and GPS so the government can track me. Oh my god I scratched the body! Where? You go underneath over on the side in the back there. I can't even see it. Oh my god! Oh god! Oh god! Seriously people, okay? So we've got to balance this out. Now, this is still America, so I'm going to tell you something. You did buy the Quadraplia DuraPia 96416 with extra DuraFlex super lens coating and you know, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Congratulations, I love you. You've done a great job. But for the most part, I can't do that and hand it out to somebody. Especially if I want to hand this out to 50 somebody's, which is my plan is make something that's decent. It'll shoot your butt down cold. It'll reach where it's supposed to. When you put the crosshairs on it, the bullet will travel to where it needs to go. It's not pretty. It works. That's it. Okay. Yes, keep it simple stupid. The Barscas also, and I don't know if they still do, but they have actually a pretty good warranty on them for the longest time. I don't think anything's changed. It's kind of like High Point. What gave them a good name is that they do back up their product. And I've never seen one fail where I've never seen, unless it's on something that's too big for it. In other words, throwing one of these on a 50. You know, if Don was alive, he'd tell you about that. Yeah, you could put that on a 50 caliber. It might survive for a magazine or two. In other words, maybe 10 rounds on a ferret. Who knows? But at some point those poor little reticle cross blades are going to loosen up and they finally give up the ghost and there's a little pile of wreckage in the lower corner, one left or right because gravity sucks. And there's this little pile of wreckage where all those little parts are just sitting there and you've got a nice optical tube you can look through but you have no alignment, you see. It happens. That's just the way it is. So, for what it was meant to be put on, and for what it was meant application-wise, these are good scopes. Now, I prefer, and you've heard me mention this many times, myself, when I used to go to the gun shows, guys, if you were with me, you might remember I just had my shoulder bag there at every burris nine power scope that somebody took off their hunting rifle I bought. So a big chunk of what you're gonna run into aren't gonna be these barscas that I've reaped when I built old bolt-action guns and put them together. It's typically a nine power Burris, a flat nine power Burris. Back in the day, that was the middle road utility scope in America. And here in Michigan, in deer country, everybody bought it. It was and is still a good company as far as for the product. But especially at the time when they came out they wanted rugged and they were trying to build their name and the nine power scope was their Chevy was their middle line you know everybody wanted to if you had a rifle and you're going out with a rifle for the first time you want to experiment with it the Burris nine powers were the way to go Everybody else was out there, but Burris was really sold well in Michigan So it was easy to find these poles where somebody said no I need the latest Europe I know but now be early whatever blah blah blah And they would take that 9 power off of that rifle that they had, or that dad gave them, and they'd put whatever else on. Well, they'd not throw it away, take it to a gun show, but it wasn't super popular because there weren't any bells and whistles on it. So $10 was an average price. But you know what? I bought a lot of those 40 years ago, and they all function just as well today. And a lot of them had been carried by people. Four shot, we'd sell them. Sit and be hangar queens unless they're buried underground and then they're just waiting for the day. So there's like enough weapons mausoleum waiting to be resurrected. But okay, so there's all kinds of other companies. Vortex is out there. Bushnell is out there already mentioned them. Even Axion. And Axion produces some middle grade scopes that are actually quite pricey. and have a lot more bells and whistles and truly can reach well at the long range distance. They aren't the most expensive but they do hold up. So it's a personal flavor choice but I just want to mention that because somebody asked, you know, Barca? Yeah, you know, the blue and white. It used to be the blue and white. That's how you spot them at the show, the blue and white box. And some guys used to bring in 80 or 100 bar scopes beginning of the show on a Friday afternoon or a Saturday morning. They'd be sold by 11 o'clock. They'd be gone by 11 in the morning. All gone, every last one of them. Just kind of like High Point Kirby. Bring them to the show, they're sold out. Anyway, so that addresses that. But it is something that needs to be thought about because again, we need multiple optics. The other advantage of nine power bases that you've got good reach out to, you know, you can take it to long range. You're not golf balling it. At least the optimal range for most of the weapons that probably would be sitting on and depending upon the commercial or military caliber that the gun is chambered in, which is another consideration. Again, I did mention 50s. I wouldn't put it on a 338 Lapua. I wouldn't put it on a 338 Winchester. I would not put it on a 475 Holland and Holland. Well, I might on the commercial cartridges, but sure as hell not on the 50s. Not for any period of time. I could if I had to, but I'd be abusing a tool that I know if I put it on the right piece of equipment, it's going to run forever. Run long enough that it'll fight the war and stay in the war. Another thing. And this has to do with something I want to reinforce in one of our callers, got some, is over at Coleman's dot com. Coleman's dot com. Coleman's dot com. They have these Humvee or vehicle molly panels. They are reinforced. I actually have one sitting right here in front of me right now. I pulled mine out. The other one I just got came with a couple of other things that we ordered from Coleman's. And these are a quick, simple solution to tactify the inside of your vehicle without butchering anything, okay? They have tie-downs, so you can lock them down on the back of the seat, of the rider and driver's seat, depending on SUVs, pickup trucks, even regular cars. The neat thing is that they are rigid, but any kind of molly pouch that's out there will slide onto these. And they do have a dump pocket slash a utility pocket that's fixed permanently to the unit. You could use that for plasma. If you make it a medical tray, if you make it a medical kit to support, say, dock or if the medic, say, in that station behind the driver or behind the rider, if that's where he's going to be. Or if you just want to carry the spares ready to go. You can tactify it with magazine pouches, grenade pouches, spare battery, radio pouches, et cetera, everything you need. And they're coming to ACU, which is no big deal because it's inside the vehicle, okay? But it was mentioned, yeah, you could die them, but you don't really need to. It's going to be mostly out of sight inside the cab. So, it's, you can, and if you put any other colors like browns, greens, whatever in pouches, because they're cheaper typically, although the ACU is pretty cheap half the time, you can mix it up and kind of bust up the color pattern anyway to the point where it's going to have a good mish-mish, you know, arrangement. You put a brown pouch next to a, a cheap multi-cam next to an ABU next to whatever. You know, think about it, you're starting to break up and create a bigger color scheme, like a big splotchy pattern like you'd see with large vehicle woodland. Okay? But it's on the inside, so it's hard to see to begin with. But it is useful, and it's something I wanted to dwell on for a minute. They are over at, they have them over at colmans.com. Colmans.com, they're running about $19.59 or $19.00, basically $20.00 apiece. Pay attention, they may have some kind of sales, get on the email list for Coleman's and yes, they do have weekly deals and sometimes they put those in there. It's a random throw the dice. Now the other consideration, something to try. Set your order up, get your order to checkout and then stop and then shut down and walk away. Wait and watch your emails to see if they do a, hey, would 10% off help you to complete your order? Sometimes they do that, other places do also. Just a little heads up. You know, a lot of times everybody's excited they want to get that thing in there. If the order is set up and ready to go, the only consideration is that in your order there are things that are sensitive that you think might sell out. If it's just a casual, like usual order and the stuff that you've seen that they carry on a regular basis, it's been in the inventory. Why always peruse the web pages and go through and check their clearance and closeouts, etc. Then if you wait, you might have them sending you an email, hey, how about if you will take 10% off if you finish that order? Well, 10% is 10%, and that can be dollars if you do it right. So just think about that as a consideration. But most important is this is a useful tool. It can be laying over the body armor that you put on your seat. Remember we told you about using the old vests for body armor for the seat? Not a problem. You can take that panel and strap it right over top of everything and you're squared away and ready to go. Okay. Also, and again, this has to do with something else with long range or at least with older rifles. You know, we talked about this a little bit. I want you to go do research on patching. One of the things that we can do is make some bullets that don't go in a gun, bullets, not the chambered, not the loaded cartridge, bullet, the projectile, bullets. You can make some bullets work a little better or work where normally they wouldn't if you understand how to do patching. Now this technique was really popular in the earliest days of cartridge guns, you know, pretty well across the board. Creedmores, the Creedmores custom loaders. used patching to tighten up the loads. But you can also use it in an emergency. Patching can be used also to make bullets that normally wouldn't be used useful and allow them to go downrange. In fact, you could even do all kinds of mean things like, hell, if I had to produce a bullet on a lathe that was just slightly smaller than the standard caliber that I have. And then I patch it, there is no concern with an aggressive metal that might cause wear and tear normally. It could be a problem because the patching creates a standoff and is actually what tags the rifling and helps to project the bullet downrange. It in a way is the earliest form of Sabo. Though it doesn't fully ensconce the bullet all the way to the tip, in many cases with Sabo's, It may even completely conceal the tip of the dart slash projectile. But with patching you get a similar effect in that if you have a slightly smaller or incorrectly cast round or a slightly off in dimension, because all kinds of things may be necessary in the future, with a single shot weapon like a Martini Henry or a Remington Rolling Block or any of your bolt guns. trapdoor Springfield, you can produce a monster round that will send a dart downrange at a pretty good velocity, more than reasonable enough. Also, if it's big bore, remember you're still putting a fairly large projectile downrange, Sabo's, modern ones, out of shotguns like the 12 gauge, the 20 gauge, are pushing a 500 grain projectile at rifle velocities. Well, no, it's not a 160 grain or 170 grain. It's a 500 grain hourglass slug going down range. That is a freight train. Okay. The same is true now when you're doing patching, you can actually do things, you know, similar. And again, remember bullet configurations can be experimented with, but patching is an old school new problem solution. with regard to materials availability. Brass projectiles, copper projectiles, steel, iron, cast iron, any number of metals could be used for the projectile provided it steps down from the actual caliber spec and then is patched and the paper patch along with again you can also do a cap, base cap is an excellent solution to deal with not too spec projectiles. And in addition to that, you'd be amazed at the end results because you're using more aggressive materials that can eat through other junk. There's something to think about there. There we go, okay. Let's see, so I got on the paper again with Patching. There are whole works on the subject, but there are plenty of authors. I've already done all the tech work, so you don't need to count just on Uncle Mark. I'm recommending a direction to go because... It's something that I experimented with maybe 40 years ago like so many other things and we got into other ideas. Then we got into other ideas. Then by the time you're done, you're playing with so many things. Going back to it is not a hard thing to do and would not be difficult at all because it's kind of like riding a bicycle. Once you understand the basics, it's very, very easy to plug into play and get back into the routine. And it's especially critical that you be prepared to do so. So... Again, patching for cartridges. The other reason I may have noticed there was a little list there. Wow, those things are old, but yeah, but they still work. Trapdoor Springfield, Martini Henry rifles, which by the way, there are still surplus Martinis like the Guhendras out there that are no FFL required and they're obviously collectors items, but they are definitely shootable. And in fact, there are whole videos that don't have to again imagine you can go over to YouTube. There's a whole bunch of people that have done work and rebuilt a lot of these museum pieces that came from Asia. And they are very successful with the weapons. They work. They are functional. There's nothing wrong with them. In fact, again, it's purely a matter of how creative you want to be. Discarding Sable would be another direction to go. with regard to these weapons. So another area of interest, especially if you're using aluminum or plastic or wood, you're a woodworker, guys, you can make sabos out of wood, sabo cups out of wood, so that non-strategic materials would be applied. And then the wood could be whatever you throw away or higher quality you wish to use. And it would be a very interesting project. You would find wow, this is stuff that really they can't control and it works first time every time. Yeah, matter of fact, absolutely. So another thing here real quick is magazines. I've noticed some really interesting colors cropping up again, including the pinks which are back, although they are not cheap. So they are interesting. But especially with the aluminum mags stick to the tactical colors I mean yeah if you're doing a Hello Kitty rifle for the kids I can understand that Because the pink magazines do come in handy for that you're gonna do a Hello Kitty air 15. I Again go the whole nine yards. There's no reason not to the whole gun should be of course one shade of pink or red Little Hello Kitty decal on the side. I didn't even put a Hello Kitty recess detail sticker on each of the magazines left and right but that's just neat. And the neat thing about this is though they do come in a lot of other colors that are anodized including many of the field colors there's even some of the model color patterns with the stuff that's coming in right now. And so if you get a chance take a look shop around a little bit. I believe there's some pretty good representations both at Centerfiresystems.com Centerfiresystems.com Centerfiresystems.com and over at AIM surplus. So I know I dwell on those two guys a lot, but not the only place we go. However, they've got some of the better deals, and there are some bundles going on. Now there's one I don't have in front of me. Forgive me, I'll have to mention it tomorrow. But there are a couple of bundle deals right now. I believe it's $89 for 10 AR mags. And Richard sent me the email, but I can't get to the email in front of me while I'm doing the program here. So we'll have to wait, but I promise we'll bring the information up tomorrow. Or you might find it yourself. Again, watch for the bundle deals. And again, get on the email notifications because these things pop up. They are gimmies. They are the easiest to get you to go into the site. hopefully buy more than just the magazines but for a lot of us it's wow yeah I'm a circling vulture waiting for the best price I can find and there it is right there. There we go got it and carry it away to our high air and pick it apart and separate it for tactical purposes like you would the corpse that you dragged up there to the nest. Anyway now another thing Excuse me. I know a lot of people don't like I know it's the catch-me-all for some people and I understand not liking a lot of the plastic holsters that are out there in fact most of the companies like Glock was and I don't know if they still are in the box they remember they were sending a you know small hidey-hole Standard belt type holster a lot of people didn't use them they had to Glock all over it so they didn't get rid of it necessarily but I'm going to remind you that there's a bunch of these floating around cheap, cheap, cheap right now. Especially, I think like what is it, the 320 pistol? There's a bunch of them for the Glock. One of the advantages of these, and granted I doubt that you got a whole lot of Glocks laying around, but if you do choose to, you know, start piling the Glocks up, which I can understand, those little holsters are great for breaking out the screw gun. and putting that pistol in that hidey hole slot like we were talking about where you put it on a horizontal station, screw it into place so it's where you need it to be. You don't want it to drop out, though it shouldn't because it's got a little retainer. And you put that where it's like in an odd place that nobody would really think or expect you're reaching for something and you pull out and there's a pistol. If you're going to do under the desk, These little holsters are great, but you got to remember something we have talked about is you know if you got kids around you gotta watch that but if that's not your problem because you know you don't have any children around you don't plan on having children around and there typically aren't any children around. Stationing pistols in locations like that are kind of handy and again who says it has to be one and who says it has to be just a pistol. But, stationing weapons, we used to do this, like I said, with the CZ-75s when you could only get one magazine per gun. Buy a bunch of them because they were $60, $63, $65, $59 a piece. They were brand new, unissued. Well, you take one of the utility British holsters, which is Browning High Power, they were cheap, and drive a couple of fender washers with a screw. Into the inner panel and slide the thing in someplace where you want to put it and congratulations It's hanging there waiting for you now. It's it's 13 rounds to get you to wherever you need to be Better than harsh language and begging or thinking oh my god. This is it so that Guys just drop those in their toolboxes like the AMT backups there used been everybody's toolbox as they were stainless steel the CZ's because they were cheap now today consideration is the high points the same way. But I don't know that there's any proliferation of, you know, cheapy or I should say not popular about plastic holsters that the high point would go in. You'd probably have to make a bucket for it or something. But I brought this up with the Glock and the others because there's a bunch of these in surplus because of the cop shops and or departments that probably got a bunch of these when they got the guns. In some cases, they actually use them. In other cases, not so much. But what's happened is they're ending up in buckets, five-gallon pails worth of inventory, and $3, $5.80, $6 apiece, means that if it's fitting your weapon, you could do what we're talking about, don't have to reinvent the wheel, also know that you've got a good form fitted fixture that it's easy to pull from. It's you're familiar. Here's the other thing we talked about many many times here. It's like with those scopes or anything else. Muscle memory. There's nothing you have to think about or relearn. If you were using the impact you may be using the holster. Mark you're talking about the holster I use every day. Okay, well that's cool, but there are still a bunch of them used maybe a little beat up even. that are out there and about. And if you go to the gun shows, they pop up too in the used boxes. If they're all the same model, when you reach for it, its automatic brain doesn't even barely have to think. On the other hand, if it's a little more, if you have different holsters or fixtures or whatever, then you have to start rethinking. You know, when you reach for something, each one might be different. That is creating more time blockage when it comes to responding to somebody attacking you. Okay? Let me give you an example. I have a lot of the, actually not a lot, I have a few of the Folsom prison posters. Are you familiar with the Folsom, the old Folsom rig was all about? Now for the longest time, although they started to kind of reinvent this, the Folsom rigs, and they was actually used at Folsom Prison, that's why they work out the name, whether or not the guy who invented it, Pushed it there or if they asked for it and wanted it designed did design it and then had it made I don't know But the Folsom rig it's an open top bucket type holster for Smith and Wesson K frame typically a 4-inch but they also had made them for six and There is no way that you can see that the gun is held in the holster What it has is a depression tab that locks onto the front of the trigger guard on the inboard side towards you. When you reach for the gun, you literally put your finger, oh my god, in the trigger guard, oh god, this is why it'd be horrible for most people, and as you push, as you reach with your trigger finger, you push in and you withdraw the gun. from the holster. It's an automatic action. Of course, it puts your finger in the technically wrong place by today's standard, but not so much because in fact, there's a company right now that's discovered this great idea and lo and behold, it's basically the Folsom Prison Rake reinvented. If you go through all the different holsters that are out there, you'll see it and they've even done a few write-ups over at amoland.com. I saw that, I thought, oh yes, totally do it. Nobody ever done it before. It's like, wait a minute, I've got a holster that's like 80 years old and it's black leather and it's a nice holster. It's held up really well. In fact, no cracking, no pitting or anything or wear from bugs. Because that happens. They like leather in the long run. Of course, it's probably cured with stuff that would kill you nowadays. Remember everything was toxic back then that they used to cure stuff so that nothing did happen to it. And of course, then you also repolish and repolish, but the holsters actually work quite well. I liked it. I used to actually carry that as a utility carry rig on a small combat belt that I put together just for around the property. And it's very deceptive, but the idea behind it was that unless you knew that that was there, somebody's going to reach for your weapon and try to pull it out of the holster, you get, you know, it's mechanical resistance. It can't be pulled out of the holster. It's steel that's holding it in. Spring steel, a spring steel fixture, but it works. And it's a fulsome prison rig or a fulsome prison holster if you want to look to find any of them, but I doubt you will because they're so damn old. But it's a useful idea. Now again, the problem is if I have one of those in a place, two or three other types and another one, I might be the one jerking at the gun and pulling it out and realizing, oh damn, that's one of those. But it will cost me another nanosecond or two or three. I mean, it's amazing how your brain works at high speed when you're under fire or it's threat. That fight or flight thing is going on. So you don't really want that. So remember one of the things taken in consideration is if you're going to cash weapons like this, try to come up with a system that you like and that works and is consistent through the whole process. Doesn't mean you have to follow that constantly. The basic rule is there and it's just a bucket to hold the gun. then you're fine, like a scabbard. Think about it, that's like a scabbard for a rifle. In this case, it's a scabbard for a pistol. You'd call it a holster. There are a number of different surplus holsters out there you could do this with right now, but you guys that are Glock owners especially, there's a glut of these things, so it's really a benefit. If you were going to start putting some, you know, if you're going to buy some used Glocks and you've got the idea that Glock is the only thing you can own, I understand that. That's cool. But this is a solution for you, and again, you can have the guns cached all over the place, ready to fight to get you to your bigger guns. Now, my personal attitude, if I got a common gun like that, see, unlike the CC-75, where we couldn't put a mag with it, oh, I have another couple of mags and a quick grab hanger or something there, so I pull the gun out, pop, pop, pop, and I'm pulling the mags right there on the spot, and I've got them in hand. So instead of you know 15 rounds I have 45 rounds. That's kind of nice. Okay. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, damn that mag went after you fast. Oh reload. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom Boil them. Don't try to burn your house down. Everybody's like, what are you, spire and gasoline? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just boil them from above. Showerheads, hot water, just know where you want to use it, how you want to employ it. Front doors, hallways, that kind of thing. That way you can just pick the bodies clean after they've been scolded to death. And if, remember, on that note real quick, and I'm not joking about this, remember that the most common burn, household burn in America is not from your stove. It's from your tap water and your bathtub. American Burn Association, you know, for people who never want to see something like that, trust me you don't. But if I have an enemy, I want to be able to pick his bones. So if I can scald him to death, although he'll be screaming, it's going to be horrible. Supercharger, three-quarter inch bead, dispersion sprayers that are above like shower heads. Oh no, it looks like doc-o. Yeah, that's good enough. If you want to think that way, it's fine. But the idea is that when you hit it you've got them in a restricted area hallways are great stairwells are better Excess ways where they have vestibules where they kick their way in one door and realize the other door inside is five times as thick and heavy it may not even be a door In other words you're gonna beat on something you can't even open Meanwhile the hot water comes from above it's supercharged with two tanks, you know two water tanks that are all turned up to maximum and what you get is instant boil and there's no way to get out of the gear and no way to get out of the uniform fast enough. They're bragging about how they're going to use whatever fire on you. I'm bragging how I'm going to cook your ass like lobsters and take everything they own. Put in your cell phones, tell me where they came from and who they were talking to. And since they came to my house, well, we'll probably be friendly. Go ahead, caller Jim. There was a question in the Discord. What was the name of the song that plays after the Rifleman's Creed. A gentleman was asking what the name of that song was. Oh, wait a minute. We repeat that again after, This Is My Rifle? Yeah, that's the song. Yeah, Hold A Rifle. Yeah, Hold A Rifle. Yeah, Hold A Rifle. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands will prove no trifle. It was used in the American War for Independence, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War, and then also in World War I, when they first started getting into it. I don't know who did that one. We picked that one out years ago. There should be examples. Again, the reference would be Revolutionary War songs, Revolutionary War military songs or militia songs. I don't know who did that particular one. very popular with the rifleman units especially for obvious reasons because oh the rifle not the musket oh the rifle and with all with the what was it Morgan's rifles I think that's Morgan's rifle theme I'm I'm pretty sure Morgan's rifle company Remember, like I said, when you think rifle in the Revolutionary War, that's like saying special forces back in the day. It doesn't mean that the woodsmen and frontier weren't equal to that, but the rifleman was the guy, the reacher back then. Rifle companies, like I said, the military commanders fought over who was going to get the rifle companies. Morgan's rifles was at the top of the list. So yeah, it's a cool song boom-boom. And of course there are more verses with some of the different versions and The both sides in the Civil War used the song Now they just changed the words because we weren't shooting redcoats by that But here's what's really cute when they use it in the war of 1812. We were shooting redcoats weren't we? And after they didn't have to change anything go ahead anything else That was it, Mark. That's all, Brigham. Did you also address, there was a post on YouTube from JWTV about the Russian helicopter landing in either South Carolina or North Carolina in a farmer's field that had to make an emergency landing? Oh, I hadn't seen that. I'm sorry. I'll have to pull that up. It was one of the Russian type transport helicopters. It's like a MI. It's not a high. It's just the other one. I think so. It's one of those types. And it was painted a tan color. There's a video of it taking off, but there's no video of it. They said, didn't have no markings, the guys in either gray or some type of camouflage and stuff, because they had to make an emergency landing. Another... Like a bell-tailed helicopter came out and landed next to it repaired it and then I guess that the video only shows the helicopter taking off so not sure Any other information about it, but there were no marker numbers on it at all I'm not sure mark. I posted in the discord take a look Like a couple of days ago by JW TV the black guy that does a bunch of stuff post a really good bunch of different stuff every week Very good. I believe the thumbnail has a helicopter in it like secret military group or something like that. Well, even okay, even if it were a I mean we're in a clandestine is clandestine, but unless there if I don't see a marking that tells me I don't feel good about it because Federal aviation guidelines dictate that other than those that are exempt, you know, like secret police operations inside the US Oh, wait a minute. That's what we've been telling everybody about for years everybody has to have a basically a what is called a buzz number just in case you're buzzing the farmers cows that's why those numbers were put there and that's why continental United States for the longest time they actually had to have oversized numbers on their planes because you know pilot jet jocks and or prop jocks like to buzz cows like to buzz farmers and stuff or people well people got pissed at that so they you know hey they want a logic complaint That's why they had to have a signature number and why we have to have signature numbers on our aircraft If you see a plane overhead that's a tail dragger or a regular single-engine plane and you don't see numbers That's a fed if you don't see numbers on a plane a fixed-wing plane. That's flying low. That's a fed period mark as the giveaway The name of the video before another one top is secret military landed in North Carolina, and it was posted one day ago on JW Space TV on YouTube and it's a nine minutes 53 seconds long It's like the third video down but secret military landed in North Carolina Do we was it closer to the coast or farther to the west? Close to I believe it's Fort Bragg is in North Carolina Well, Fort Bragg, but they could also be a memory you start headed to the west your head towards Fort Campbell and either Fort Bragg or something it was in transit between the two and Fort Campbell, Kentucky, remember, is special warfare, but also a lot of clandestine craft. And Fort Bragg certainly is big enough it has enough junk on its own, but that's why I was curious because it could have been something that was a transit flight or something too, moving from point A to point B. So we, depending on where it is on the map, and again, we also determined, you know, thank you for bringing this up. When you do have an image like that, if you can put a reference, when the aircraft took off and it proceeded in its mission, whatever it was doing, Always try to include point of the compass reference. Well it took off and it flew to the northeast from the location where it landed. We can then take a pencil and kind of do some, you know, map work and see what we run into. What lines up with that heading? So, always remember that, guys, it's not your fault or anybody else's fault with this thing, but whenever you are reporting something like that, always try to give referencing information for both location and, in this case, with a vehicle that moved afterwards direction. Compass heading is best. Trains, it's obvious, we don't need to figure that out. It's either you went up track or down track. So just tell us where they're going and which direction they were going, because they can't really jump the rails. Planes can change direction, but helicopters usually take advantage of straight line of sight as the bird flies. So once you have that, you can just simply take and pull out a map and then start running it, shoot an azimuth and go from the point where it landed, the direction it was flying and follow that line and see what hits it. Same with microwaves. So Appreciate the heads up on that. I'll look at that as quickly as I can I can we are at the top for everybody out there guys, of course, we have the network Remember, it's rainy and wet. We got higher winds, we got colder rain, and it's been building up a little bit here. I think we've got another inch and a half since we've been doing the program, the two-hour program. So for everybody out there, grab your rain gear, keep it handy, and make sure you've got spare socks everywhere, because you're going to get wet, but you don't have to stay wet, and you don't have to get cold. God bless our Republic. Death is a new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. Then we're on the march both day and night and kill them all. Hurrah. Thank you, sir. For everybody out there, pay attention, stay focused. That pimple is gonna burst down there on the border, but it ain't the only one. And those people are all people who hate you. God bless. We'll see you all tomorrow. Again, stay focused. Stay frosty. Bye-bye.
