I want you to know how you're making me strong, boys, and free my soul. I wanna get lost in your rockin' roll and drift away. 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 and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave in this the land of the free and home of the brave The freedoms we secured for you. We hoped you'd always keep But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedom is 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. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm And keep our country deep in debt 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 visit doctors So their children won't be born Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came, his words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in 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? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and behind the lines in occupied territories west east northeast And, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Libertytreeradio.org. And we are on the satellite. Want to say hi to all of our merchant marine listeners, operators, and reflectors, along with many, many others across the globe. We also want a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. I want to say good afternoon to all of our AM and FM micro rebroadcasters and our CB base stations, which have doubled in the last month. I just got that information only a few minutes ago. I want to say thanks to Frank and also to Willard. You guys have been doing a great job of doubling and doubling again our resources. They did a death march of installation, I didn't know, a week ago, and went across Michigan much like we did before, but to many, many other locations. So we have a complete new marine network, a complete new CB network, and we have a complete new two-meter network all installed simultaneously. They did about 123, 124 units. I donated some of the equipment, I didn't know it was going to. Now I do. So congratulations, this reconfigures part of the state, not all of the Upper Peninsula, but we got a few places on the other side of the bridge. So we'll see what happens there. That'll probably be the next mission. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday. It is the... Oh my goodness, it's the 29th of June. It is the 14th year of Open Avia, some pissing in your face. Fabian Socialist and the Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. 2022, old earth calendar, 2022, battle for the republic, the dance of swords. And so, let's do this before we go any farther. Edward, it is weapons Wednesday. And over at Guns and Gadgets, dated for today, it's about four hours old, it's assault weapons ban addressed. Just a quick follow-up, it's not very long, so it'll only take a few minutes. two minutes and 29 seconds long. It is presently over at Guns and Gadgets on YouTube. So if we can, we'll play that. Not taking long to catch up on. And once that's done, we do have a couple of other things that we want to, again, address over at something somebody brought up about CenterfireSystems.com. So again, Guns and Gadgets. I want to make sure I don't... Yeah, well, I'll talk until we get the guns and gadgets up if we can. If we can't, that's okay. Don't worry. We got plenty to cover today anyway. I had a bunch of questions about some of the stuff. Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. I told you guys and gals there would be a lot of stuff happening across this country related to the vacating or challenging of gun control laws. Well, this has just come down to my uh... to my desk here, the mobile desk. The assault weapon ban is being addressed in California, which every other state, if this were to fall, would immediately follow suit. In fact, There are other challenges going on as we speak to. So the 9th Circuit has sent California's assault weapon ban. What it's done is vacated the decision of the district court and remanded it back to the district court. So that it could, let me give you the quote. The district's court judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the United States Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruin. All parties shall bear their own attorneys fees, costs and expenses. This order constitutes the mandate of this court. The case being vacated and remanded is pretty standard when something like this happens because the landscape has changed drastically for gun controllers for those looking to infringe upon our rights. Now from here, the district court will take up a couple questions. The first is are these weapons AR 15 AK 47s? Are they in common use? That's the test from Heller. Yes, they would be very hard to tell us that according to the text in the history and tradition of this country that they're not common use. And then the next question, obviously B, are restricting these types of weapons. Is that part of America's history and tradition? And the answer is no. So stay tuned if you want to know what's going on with the assault weapon ban, both in California and in the state near you. Guys and gals, I can't tell you enough that there's a lot going on in the next few days. We're going to hear a lot of stuff. So subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. We're getting very close to my target of 500,000 subscribers. Never thought that would happen, especially hopefully to get it before my birthday, July 25. Until we see each other again, be safe, stay vigilant, carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe. If you'd like to support the channel, there's ways in the description, including Patreon. And I'll see you on the next one. It's probably going to be one of those rapid fire days. Take care. out there so again there's a lot of other activity there's a flurry hey plethora copia of legal activity by God the lawyers are rolling in the dough right now that's one of the good things that they seem to appreciate about making this roller coaster of what we you can have them you can't have them you can have them you can't have them whole bunch of third-party people make a lot of money off us Almost like that, you know, fake Republican, fake Demican-Republican thing where you're supposed to make a choice between the two evils and you end up with weevils, you know, eating the bread, all of it, yours, see how that works. Whee! Anyway, a couple of questions somebody's asking. Yes, this is what I was talking about over at CenterFireSystems.com. I am, uh, it's interesting some of the stuff that they're digging up. You know over at Center fire now some boots and stuff the same fare as anybody else although I will point something out 762 by 54 are M28 boys and they got you know those guns you bought for like 69 to 90 dollars apiece Oh a psycho velma model M28 finish only $730 now Wow, I guess you're any of you who bought like a case of those Nagants You're kinda smiling right now, aren't ya? Remember what I told you when you, if you bought that, if you did what we recommended, you do realize that right now you can sell, you know, if you bought a few odd rifles off to the side, you could sell the two rifles and keep the case of weapons because they're free. Such a bargain. Yeah, Farpenpuken. In other words, it's exactly what we told you about. In other words, $69.95 for a Wilson and a Gantt, and you buy a whole case of them, and you buy a few extras, and odds and ends, you know, from the odd lots, from Colonial Classic Firearms, whoever, and you wait not very long, and all of a sudden you can sell two of those rifles for what you paid for all of those rifles. In other words, now your wife can't say, oh, you just do this, Oh my god, how much do we spend? Well, actually the books are even dear. So the rest we get to keep now. Now, if you want to really make your wife happy, you sell one more of the odd ones you bought like, say maybe six, seven odd ones, you know, that were part of your 36, 38 or whatever. And you can give your wife $7,800 and everybody's happy. Here, dear. Oh, you buy her something nice. Give her the cash. Just give her the cash. She'll figure out what to do with it, right? Here you go, dear. Six, seven hundred dollars. What's that from? You know those sixty dollar rifles we bought? Yeah. Well, I just sold it for ten times what we paid for it. Did you realize that's the math, right? You bought them for sixty dollars, sixty-nine say seventy dollars, and they're a seven hundred dollar gun now. You, they're ten times the value. And then she says, how come you didn't buy five cases of them? Because you told me not to, dear, because you said I was crazy. Exactly. But now here's the other thing, I had a couple questions. I was wondering about this, I had not seen these, because there's a lot of stuff coming in over at Centerfire. They've tapped into one of the foreign importers out of the Caribbean, I think. And the reason I say this is because there's a bunch of cold, classic pistols, I mean beautiful pistols, I'd carry the gun in a heartbeat, but they're too expensive. They've got a police positive special revolver, 38. Uh, probably 38 short 38, maybe 38 cold for 393 dollars. And then I've got a Colt revolver police, uh, 32. Now this is probably 32 long. However, I will point something out. These are Colts and there's something you need to know about Colts back when these guns were made before World War II, I think I'm of World War II, maybe a little past in the fifties. These are police positives special revolver 38 special. These are not in 38 lesson However, there ain't a stitch of finish left on these things The one that they're showing in the picture is pearl handle revolver is a pearl hand revolver sons got pearls. Pearl handles anyway Shows where he else but see where and handling where stainless steel may show signs of where there's no stainless on a Police positive trust me on that one However, it is too much. I mean, it's nice, but it is a, and it is, there are very few of these left because they've also been chopped up. It's true. I believe these probably came from either A, some department cash, could be from one of the other companies that's folded that had a lot of guns, you know, stacked up. Sarco does this every once in a while. May even come from a Sarco cash. Sarco has uh... tunnels as uh... old minds full of stuff that's why they can keep going over to the barrel and pulling stuff out my embassy that years you have a little charge a year's ago prices they charge you bill present-day price but uh... if you if it floats your boat there's nothing wrong with investing father and any more of these guns around so to speak but The one for $507, $508 for a 32 police. No, no. Although it does have the Colt Medallion with the, wow, the Colt Medallion with the Pearl handle again. And it's a nickel finish, by the way. It's not crawl, it's not, it's a crawl, it's not stainless. But there are a number of these lifted over there and it's sold as is. So I don't know what the timing's like, et cetera. If you're investing, it's a personal flavor choice thing. If you're looking at trying to find a decent defense gun cheap, it used to be that the K-frames and the J-frames were the go-to guns, but they've gone way off into the twilight zone price-wise. So just to answer that for you, now, this category, if you go over to firearms and then go over to what they're calling old-school revolvers, Okay, whoa we got somebody beat the hell out of somebody there. Are you scratching the microphone? Oh my god, you dragged the cat over to the oh, don't put him in the open. Don't put him in the engine Okay, are we done is the cat dead? Oh my god. That was horrible So anyway, there are a number of other tourist revolvers again. This is what's sad The the tourist revolvers these guns are showing right here when they came out We're running about $128 apiece, brand new out of the box, factory new with a, you know, unlimited warranty. They're wanting $462 for a Model 65 357 Taurus, not far off ice carrier 66. They might even have a 66 here somewhere. If you take a look though, there's quite a collection of revolvers. It is fascinating. They are mostly the biggest wave. It looks like they just got a bunch of police positives. I wouldn't These are like South American or Mexican or maybe Central American police guns are what these are looking like. The police, the little police positive was a very popular gun back in the day. It's the J, it is a J frame. You're not going to find it in any magnums, but you will find it in 32, 32 Colt, 32 Smith and Wesson long, 38 Colt or 38 Special, Smith and Wesson Special. You're gonna have to look at these to see, but they're asking $462 for guns that are pretty tired. Some are better, some are worse. Most, amazingly enough, in the batch are chromed, fancy, chrome platin'. There are also number Smith & Wesson Model 36s. Now the price on these don't look too bad. I mean, there are some, it's up and down. $367.99 again. That's a personal flavor choice. You have to decide if that's the kind of money you want to spend. If you were to go through these, there are, there is quite a selection. I've carried a bunch of those. I'm very, very, very happy with them. They always worked well. And then they also do have a few Rugers. And although unfortunately the Ruger Speed 6 and Security 6s, they're asking anywhere from $377. Oh my god, almost $500 and these are again, look like they got some mileage, not all of them, a bunch of them actually pretty good. There's some stainless there, but unfortunately they also want 615 Ruger Speed 6 in stainless steel with a 2.75 inch barrel, almost a 3 inch. Oh my god, do that thing. Go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, I know. I'm in the vehicle moving. I got that, you know, get that window that doesn't close. Get three high points for that price. 3 high point 45s or a 45, a 40, and a 9. Hoorah. Yeah, actually. That's something to think about, too. Well, they do have, guys, take a look at the listings there. You'll see what I'm talking about. This is quite a bar collection. And for people who are revolver, if you're a revolver aficionado, you would see that, yeah, some of these things might be worthwhile. Well, there are some of the smiths are up to $900. Are you kidding me? Well, actually, they're in pretty good, some are in pretty good shape. So these may have come, again, from South America. We have to find out by looking at what's stamped on them, if they're an import. If they're a second-line import, they probably are stamped. I'll actually see if I can call on that tomorrow. I can't do it today, it's too late anyway. But that's over at Classic Firearms. For the guys looking for revolvers, one thing I like about revolvers is point and click. You don't have to think about it. Somebody hits you and it comes up behind you. They smack you, they think they're putting you down, but your days, you're hurt, and you just got hit. You don't have time to operate anything. You have time to maybe work your hand to the weapon and hopefully it's through immediate action. and realize you gotta put a bullet in somebody quick because they're probably gonna realize they haven't finished you off so they're gonna follow up and that's when you bang bang bang bang bang. Okay and oh wow all five bullets right in his face. Yeah or you know one in the chest and they just kind of rode right up under his chin because I was real close to him. Depending on the scenario which there can be so many but the revolver the advantage at least to carry one revolver if you carry more than one gun which I don't have a problem with. One of the other things to remember here is, again, one of them should be a revolver. If I were a pilot, I'd carry Glocks. Lots of Glocks, three of them, as a matter of fact. Why not? They're so stinking light and cheap that I'd put one in my drop bag, put one on the basic kit, and put one in my advanced kit. Your basic wear kit. I'd have one stuck somewhere in my flight suit. Yeah, I wouldn't ask permission why. If I was in a war zone, who gives a heck? It doesn't make any difference. I need the fire, I want the fire parts. Just my personal flavor thing. Maybe I'll get blowed up in the sky anyway. But if I don't and I hit the ground, hmm, matter what happens, as long as I got magazines, if I got a bunch of magazines and I'd be piling on the mags, I'd have a gun that works. Even if one fails, there's always two more. See how that works. So anyway, one more thing, and before I leave Centerfire, it is Weapons Wednesday. Over at Centerfire, they have these in stock still. For you AK operators, AK47, 762x39, 30-round Polymer magazine. These are chuck mags. We have hundreds of them. I'm surprised, what they did is they restocked. They must have been just down the road and they got more coming. They're Turkish. They are the clear smoke Polymer. They are 30 rounders. And this is over at CenterFireSystems.com. If you go to the main page. And roll up into magazines and go to AK mags and drums, or if you just punch in, look for AK47 762x39 30 round polymer magazine, 5 pack for $20. I would tell you this, if you're listening and you have a pretty large group of people you're working with, somebody's got an AK. Everybody listening should have some AK mags and AR15 mags around. Why? Well, do you like your friends? Now, mostly, oh my god, I don't want five magazines, I have to spend $50. Well, you don't have to spend $50. You can spend $20 in some shipping, or if you order enough, it's free shipping, and buy a pile of these and put them on the shelf. Are they most expensive? Nope. Are they perfect for, again, like I told you before, Defense Station magazines? Absolutely. Do they function? Yep, we've already tried them. They work. They work just fine. In fact, I'll be quite honest. Let me explain something here. It's really kind of interesting. I don't know how good the follower would be for, you know, how durable in the long run. But if I needed spare parts, what's a magazine spring worth? Just a magazine spring. If I have to go out and buy it, go take and price magazine springs. So if I get these things to work, and they do, and I use them only so many times, say, I'm not going to use these for my primary mags, what I would do is, I've told you before, your breakout kits or your auxiliary magazine pouches. You can use a number of different pouches that are out there, even the standard US military six-mag bandolier pouch, and you load it up with these. How many can? And what's cool about it is it's a throwaway. The idea is that this is your add-on. You're gonna fire and drop. Why? Because you're in the middle of a firefight. You don't have time to worry about it. Drop fire and drop. You may not recover them. You might be on the move. These mags you won't cry about losing. The steel Bulgarian mags made in 1985. Highest quality, best mag on the planet. Yeah, you'd be crying about that. Because now when you try to buy them, they're a stupid price. But back when they came in years ago, they were a lot cheaper than these. So this is the cheapest import mag. I'm pretty sure it's turkey. They will work. Let's see ignore any modifications to any weapon warning do not do not never never never never never never and listen to me again never modify a rifle to fit a $4 magazine Okay, the magazine costs $4 if the magazine is a little snug or tight Which do you trim? Which do you clean up the magazine? Why? Because the magazine, if you make a mistake, you only make a $4 mistake. If you start grinding or modifying on your rifle, which I know you're not supposed to, I've told you before about laughing and everything, well, let's just assume the worst and we won't be disappointed. Instead of you making a possible mistake with that very fine rifle or pistol that you bought, 7.62x39, Clean up the magazine. Don't worry about altering the weapon. Your other mags in that are working those weapons just fine, don't they? Steel mags? Yep, click. All of your other specialized mags you bought from, you know, a special widget company at $23 apiece? Click, yep. So why am I gonna modify the gun for a $4 magazine? You don't do that. We lose you? And Northern Michigan's here. I don't know where Mark went. Since yesterday, I've said to the door It's been the worst day since yesterday All of a sudden, is there any background noise? 2, 3 Other than the noise you would be hearing from me if I was actually moving right now, no Right, well that's amazing how all of a sudden everything just went strange Oh yeah, you went boo-boo. And I said, are you still here? And I checked and I redialed because the phone was sitting in the center console here. So I'm going down. Let me redial. There we go. I saw you drop offline, Dad. And I started music. That's good. I don't know. That's good. I think, though, you know, again, like I said, crap, boo, you know, 21st century crap, boo. I think the wire tap or whatever, all of a sudden they got fuzzy or got agitated or maybe they just don't know how to do their job anymore. It's just that simple. So since we're using another ground line, okay. But not only that, I had a tremendous amount of sound in the background and it just all of a sudden stopped. It just stopped. It's a miracle. Oh my goodness, my magic wand. Yeah, whatever. I'm a Chinese jet pilot named Lao Tze. So anyway, we're going to close up on Centerfire. I want to mention there are a bunch of other things at Centerfire you want to take a look at right now. Get over there, check them out. We've already done kind of the bottom of the hour break, but that's at www.centerfiresystems.com, centerfiresystems.com, centerfiresystems.com. Maybe you didn't like the fact that I'm telling you about things where, you know, it would be a hundred, no, it would be a thousand dollar mistake depending on what gun you're trying to carve. When you have a $4 magazine, all you have to do is tune it up and clean it up a little bit, and it'll work fine in the few weapons it doesn't work. In fact, the weapons that are on the list that are sticky, that magazine is sticky on, is so short I wouldn't care. There are some Draco carbine, you know, like pistols out there, but if that's the case, then guess what? I'm not gonna modify the gun, because all the other magazines go right into the Draco. I'm going to take and I'll use the plastic mags, you know, for... Whatever, but I'm just not gonna waste them that way. I'm not gonna damage the gunner and make a mistake on the gun. Why would I, if I loosen up or clean up the gun, I might make it sloppy for the other magazines. I really wouldn't want that, would I? No, we don't want to do that. We don't want to muck up our weapons. We got it. We're gonna be using them for combat here. I have some interesting conversations with a lot of different people here in the last day or two. And everybody is saying the same thing. They're kind of smiling because On the one hand, there's all kinds of piss and moan about the execution by mother, you know, the pro execution by mother crowd, but everybody's in brain fart and everybody's just kind of standing there. Now there's a reason for this. Money's not around. And needless to say, I don't think that the, uh, they haven't caught up with them yet. Probably the checks are in the mail right now from the Israeli Mossad, the FBI, Soros, because they ride with those, those, all those characters ride together. Soros has known about it. FBI is not arresting him. He's involved in the subversion of the United States across the board and they like it. So anyway, the checks aren't there, so nobody's really, you know, got the, the, uh, shekels to move around. And while everybody's bragging, yes, this is taking money away from the bougie, what is he? You know, you and me in America. The thing is, it's everybody. Because when you go out to pump the gas, cause you're gonna run over there and you're gonna scream and, you know, holler and be shrill because of, uh, you know, you wanted to be part of the, uh, pro execution by mother click, which you can be without having to travel. What's fascinating is, well, the money's not there. Well, maybe if we, well, wait a minute, we wanted to, and don't forget, we're gonna have to buy at McDonald's, oh, maybe whatever, whatever is the proper politically correct place, maybe not McDonald's, because it'd be too cheap, and McDonald's isn't cheap. Not anymore. So anyway, it's interesting, everybody's noticed that it's, everything went to brain fart. Now, I've said this before, that this is really true across the board for everyone, because, well, yes, we're, It's nice that this has happened the way that it has, but the murder death kill crew, slash the execution by mother program, is still very much in place. Everybody has already said this. And certainly, and by the way, there are several pieces, and I was watching one, I just couldn't finish it before we started the program. They were doing three things at once here. But listening to one piece, they actually were talking about in New York, doing you know I was you know this is like kind of like Money Python where they you know money public all the crew of Money Python said all the stuff they did was supposed to be a joke but now all the idiots sticks out there are actually like what they were joking about the characters that they created well what's interesting is they're talking about doing Las Vegas type junket flights where they're going to be able to get a deal from the airlines to do a Bordeaux flight where everybody, think about this, you don't wanna get on one of these planes, it kinda like has the stench of death about it. Can you imagine this? What are you gonna do? Oh dude, I gotta go to New York, man. My mom's not feeling too good. I will tell you what, let me meet the little secret, man. You can get one of the aborto flights. You know, they've got the, it's like the aborto casino thing. What? Yeah, you can do, you go to Friday, you go to the abortion clinic, you do the execution by mother thing, and they give you 50 casino tokens. Guys, they're actually talking about this. I was joking. You know, I've done this little goofy skit twice. They're actually talking about it. They were already on that ball. Well, they can do like 70 or 80 dollar flights round trip and while you're there you can, you know, after you have your abortion and you feel so up, you're gonna feel so positive, you're gonna feel so up, you're just gonna want to stick around. That's it, Mark. I am so stressed. I need a vacation. I'm gonna go out right now and get pregnant and go to Vegas. Yeah, now that's the question I had right off the bat. Do you have to prove that you're pregnant? If you have a- in fact, well here's what you gotta do. Here's the problem. You gotta take a girl with ya, right? Dude, I gotta get to New York. I got a family member that's ill. Okay, wait a minute, hold on here. Let me check our pool. Sally! Yeah? Sally, are you busy this weekend? Now why? You wanna go to New York? Who the hell do I know in New York? Sally, Sally, you can go to New York for free. I'll give you an expense card. Okay, you can go visit. Don't you know somebody in New York? Okay, what but you're gonna have to be pregnant. Can you say you're pregnant? Okay So you gotta get a girl then once you get the girl you take the girl along with you, right? And you grab the girl and you drag her along and put her on the aborto flight. Yeah Hold your number two waiting for as long as possible and then when you get there, I'll record it. Who says I'm not pregnant? In fact, I'm feeling like I'm going to give birth right now. I may have to go to that special room on board the plane for birthing. Special room on the plane? Yeah, yeah, the bathroom. I may have to go to the bathroom for birthing. Oh my god. So anyway, think about this, okay? I think I'm gonna give birth. You guys may want to go in the other room. Boy, that is one cute little turd. You got little baby clothes. As long as it's firm, you can dress it up and it'll be like, you know, oh god, there's a bunch of different skits on that one. But anyway, you look just like you. You don't have to abort it for up to 30 days after it's born. Now here's the other thing. To cover the fact that the men are going in to take a dump, right? They can call it the Mobile In-Flight Abortion Facility. See how that works? Because you really don't want to keep it. You're trying to kill it, right? Now, the other consideration here is, what would it be like? What kind of a beat crowd? Are you going to be flying with, if you're with a bunch of females who hate the men that they were with so much that they want to execute this child that was created? So you've got to take a woman with you so you can act really effeminate like you're supporting the woman who wants to execute her child because otherwise, as a single, say, white male, especially being a white male, on the plane, You're either going to get really wicked stares or you're gonna get some fawthing-at-the-mouth Karen who used to police people in her neighborhood for not wearing face bras, okay? Think about this. So the same fanatic bug-eyed crazy-town loon that you had to deal with for two years that was patrolling the streets looking for people not wearing face bras is gonna be on the plane there wanting to get an abortion, maybe not even needing an abortion, but wanting to go there and get a simulated abortion to feel that he, she, or it is, you know, working with the team, okay? But then you come on board and Karen, Karen the face-brawler sees you. So you see, you've got to plan ahead, you've got to expect from stupid, stupid, and remember, you're still going to save, even if you have to take the other person along. It's still going to be, let's say it's an $80 round trip, casino, or Bordeaux Clinic flight. You're still going to save money considering what the, an individual ticket is up around, what, $400 some dollars? So it's like wow dudes we two of us got to go anybody or else you shout out to the office say anybody want to go to New York that lives then used to live there and it's like yeah sure Molly's from from Manhattan There you go now everybody's happy and you'd be kind of like a paid vacation for the employee You take care of the ticket you go you fly safely although it's still not real safe because here's the problem You gotta come back with all the postpartum suicide types that wanted to abort their baby, then get into the postpartum blues while they're going to the casino where they get drunk and they drink for 13, 14 hours straight through the night because the casino's open 24 hours. So now they're coming back with a hangover postpartum depression and they still hate all you white heterosexual males, or any male for that matter. Can you imagine what being on that? flight would be like the other way. At least they won't get pregnant while they're there. Well, that's true. Well, no, that's not true. There's still men involved. So there's still men. They may feel they're going to get pregnant again and they may have to have an abortion in the small aborto clinic on the plane on the way back. You know that. There'll be, because there's those third party sexes, they could be pregnant any time after a meal, maybe in the morning after they wake up. You know, usually you've got to do that morning toilet thing. Yeah, yeah, I can see there'll still be plenty of abortions going on on the way back, don't worry. A pretty disgusting psychopath world, isn't it? Well, no, our world's fine. It's those people in our world that are the problem. A big problem. A problem that needs to be gone, okay? Just a heads up. So anyway, and I'll tell you what, you're probably hearing some background noise that wasn't there. In fact, it wasn't there at all, was it, guys? Anybody notice this kind of like a hum? Yeah, it's like a hum. I hear it. Yeah, isn't that amazing? Just out of the blue. I guess, you know, like I said, quality of products. It's a sound your landline used to make when it was raining outside. Yeah, but it's not raining outside. So anyway, well, let's see, we might be able to fix this. Well, at the top of the hour, we'll hang up and clear the line and see if through another connection or maybe they reset their wiretapping technology. We can get everything squared away. In fact, this is like Waverly humming now. It's like a lightsaber. I'm minding this what it sounds like. It's kind of cool. So anyway, other things real quick here. Also, it is Weapons Wednesday over at Bear Creek Arsenal. And again, guys, we need everybody to be building AR-10s as quickly as we can. That's the next project rifle. If you've got what you want in an AR, basically. And unless you haven't covered the other uppers that you need to complete the mission, you know what I mean by that? The 7.62x39 upper. You also want a 300 blackout upper. Then what you want to do is start working on the AR-10 project, okay? And one of the reasons is because we are going to be very quickly proposing the new government cartridge AR-10, upper of the 6.8. And right now, oh, right now they got some markdowns. Yes, it's good, they got a whole bunch. Okay, very good. This week, I don't know how many days has been going on. Right now they have, oh it looks like about, well hell, looks like about $40, $50 off each item, so I would say what, 15 to 25% off? Nah, it can't be 25%. Probably 15% off. They have the BC-10-308 20 inch stainless steel SOCOM barrel, $383, but there's much cheaper. There's 20 inch black nitride SOCOM barrel. for quite a bit less, $345.59. So if you go through the scroll, I would do either a 10, or forgive me, I got 10. It's an AR-10. It's a BC-10, okay, Bear Creek 10. But I would do at least a 20 inch, and if you can find longer, that's better. In fact, they do have, here's an example of alternate cartridges in the AR-10 upper. 22 250 22 250 is a knock you out knock you down cartridge. It's only 22 caliber. But if you've ever seen the case, it's one of those big bar meters slash also medium game cartridges. 22 250 was so common for so long that when federal did their their their fall hunting special cartridge collection. where they had, you know, $6 a box and $8 a box years ago. 22-250 was one of the six calibers they would make in quantity every year. That's how popular that round is in the Midwest. Now, there are others that are doing a very fine job, but 22-250 had a massive following for a very long time and it's still out there because a lot of people are now inheriting grandpa's guns and dad's guns. So there definitely are other options, again, other solutions, so that if you build an AR-10, you can start putting a golf bag together of uppers. The advantage? Well, one lower, and whatever number of uppers you choose means that your weapon will never run dry. 6.5 Creedmoor is out there. They've got everything that's AR-10 is on sale right now in the uppers, in complete uppers. over at Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. So take the time, check it out. They've got a BC 22-250 20 inch black nitride straight fluted SOCOM barrel. $400. Again, that's an odd man. I wasn't really planning on harping on it. But it is a neat little cartridge and you might already have a bolt gun that operates with that. And if you do, then understandably this would not be a bad investment because you've already probably got an inventory of ammo. Most people that have .22-250 have also been reloading, taking advantage of all the different .223-556 bullets out there. Okay, that's another advantage. So, otherwise, here's probably the, looks like the, well, no, there, okay, here's a... Side charging handle, .308, Park Rise SoCom barrel, one in ten twist obviously. Twenty inch barrel though, $332.99. That's dropping down, in fact they've got ulcer to 18 inch for $10 less. For $10 more, a little less than $10 more, I'd buy the 20 inch barrel. If you're going to ask, if I know somebody's going to ask and send an email, I already had that question asked a couple of times. If I spend only a few dollars more but I get two more inches of barrel and a 7.62x51 NATO, guess where I'm going. That's where I'm going. Okay. So again, there are, in fact, the SOCOM barrel is really big right now. Everybody is, that's the cat's meow for most everybody running an AR. But take a look at the prices and take a look at the combinations. You can, you'll find probably whatever, whatever you need to float your boat on this one. and there is a deal, you know, sale going on right now. And that is over at Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. And you go to AR-10 complete uppers. Now that'll include both carriers. That's everything. So all you need to do is find the right AR-10 lower receiver that you want to go with, whatever you want to run with. and act accordingly. Personally, I would go with the full rifle. You can go with the adjustable five-pointer, six-pointers, you know, whatever stocks. They are available, but because of the nature of how I'm trying to use this as an MBR, which is what was intended to be, the conventional stock is probably your first choice. Not, you know, again, not everybody is in the family if you got tiny people are going to be able to run behind the rifle as easily. but they can work it. They can make it, they can make it function. So, oh wow. Oh wow, it went off and went on. What happened? Lightsaber time. That's kind of fascinating. Anyway, last but not least here real quick, Bear Creek also has a whole ton of AR-15 as we've talked about. I don't think I need to explain that. And they do have a bunch of discounted uppers there also. So in fact, whoa, here we go. Hey, you're gone. What happened? Oh, somebody came over and just did it because the recording technology on the white on the wire tab Realized it's not sounding good. That's truly a miracle. It's a miracle Wow Wow, so anyway real quick 762 by 39 air 50 air 15 upper 16 inch park rise heavy barrel and again $224.99, $225, against side charging system. We understand the issue with the 762x39, so again, spare bolts to be safe, but there are a number of lowers. Take your pick of flavor choice here. They even have, hold on here, well, they even have a BC-1520, it's park-rise-heavy. go through the scroll and take a look at this. We are at the top just about, so we're going to take a break. I'm going to be, again, adjusting technology here, but it looks like everything cleared up. So, I don't know, that'll change in 15 minutes, or five for that matter. Another thing real quick is reloading. If you're going to do a 22-250, if you're going to do any of the Wildcats, a 6.5 Creedmoor. It's not really a Wildcat, but there's plenty of brass out there. A lot of people aren't reloading. The advantage is that, especially with unique rounds like that, you can definitely save. And most important is don't tell somebody else to, you know, hey, you should pick up your brass and save it. Ask him you gonna pick up your brass. No, I don't do anything with that. Okay. I take it Yeah, sure. Okay. Good. Don't try to talk anybody into doing reloading Grab it. Are you reloading? Well, you're at least yours more seriously planning on it The other person you might talk into it the moment that they walk away They're gonna forget about it and throw the stuff in the trash at home So there's no trying to convert anybody anymore on that nonsense if they're gonna listen they're gonna listen But you know otherwise you want that brass The best thing to have happen is off to get the brass. Period. Now, if somebody else figures it out, then they can figure it out now. They can start collecting what they should have collected before. But right now, you grab everything that isn't nailed down that somebody wants to leave behind, and you take it home. And especially if you're going to be doing an AR in a unique caliber. Guess what? It doesn't cost you that much. You can go over to Palmetto State Armory, you can go over to any number of different locations and they have everything you need. Top to bottom. Whoa! Sorry about that. Top to bottom for reloading technology. I don't know what's going on, but somebody's not happy. Anyway, we're gonna go to break. I should hear the music here right now, as a matter of fact. And we are at the top. Oh, oh, one more time. www.palmettostatearmory.com. God bless our republic! For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun Permits to start a business or to build a place for one on land that you believe you own you pay a yearly rent Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame this number 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 harass 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 won't be born Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Those sons of the republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great republic and eat God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoke he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? and you will come back alive. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report of our corgi. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, northeast, east, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... ww.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. We're also on satellite. We want to say hi to all of our coordinators and rebroadcasters and listeners via satellite, especially Merchant Marine, virtually across the whole of the globe. You guys are sharing big time. In fact, I listened to some of the programming. this morning via satellite hookup and it sounds as good as any other way you could possibly listen to the intelligence report and it's probably a party to a party to a party repeat. So double plus good, keep it up. We're also on a mirror to communications technologies both east and west of the Mississippi and along with Alaska and don't forget inside and outside these United States it is weapons Wednesday it is the 29th of June. This is the 14th year of open, obvious and pissing in your face. Well, they're trying real hard, but you know, I really kind of scared about taking the weenie out and unzip it to fly even because people are ready to just blow them right out of their boots, but Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K still. It is, of course, 2022, Old Earth Calendar. I'll give it all to the good captain. And 2022, Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. And at the bottom of the hour, we're going to do the traditional weapons Wednesday. Bottom of the hour break, so just heads up. Ed's ready for that probably. But before we do that, guns and gadgets. He just did another one about the time we started the program here. Uh, if we could, it's three minutes and 45 seconds long. Go over to YouTube, it's Guns and Gadgets. This one is Gun Owners Docks Accidentally. Uh, quote, unquote, Accidentally. Yeah, and I'm a Chinese jet pilot named Lao-Zee, as you know. Lao-Zee! Anyway, it's over at Guns and Gadgets. It's posted today. Go give them a thumbs up. Uh, in fact, if you can, get a, if you don't have a YouTube channel, get one just so you can help other people. Now I just stay there and do anything, post some random stuff up, how to find us, how to find Gunners of America. They'll throw in some odds and ends pictures. You can do anything you want on YouTube, there's nothing to say, it's free. But in the meantime, you can also help all of the allies by taking a video and giving it a thumbs up, sharing it. and needless to say, saving it, which is another good thing. So if you want to find the stuff, you can actually have a little file folder. Look at your YouTube channel as a file folder. So when you're looking for videos, all you do is go over to YouTube, hit the save section you've got, and go back through your scroll. Real simple, straightforward, easy to do. Okay, so it's user friendly for you. Anyway, Gun Owners of America, a couple others have also posted some new stuff today, but Ed, if you could, Guns and Gadgets, Gun Owners Doxed Accidentally, June 29th, it is 3 minutes 45 seconds long, already has almost 8,000 views, let's change that and make it bigger. For everybody, yeah. I want to say thank you to Jean, I'm sorry, Jeanine. 46 migrants found dead inside 18 Wheeler in Texas, turns out the number is higher. Actually, yeah, started out with 46. Obviously the death toll continued to rise. Also, and again, thank you. There's a couple pieces on Tucker Carlson in the last, well, day and then a couple of pieces over the weekend that are kind of interesting. Most of it's not a surprise for us, but everybody needs to pay attention and let's just say, not sure your grip accordingly because this is, these are all we told you. It's all we told you so stuff. People are not super excited about the Roe versus Wade thing only because you all know just everybody does. The Shysters, when they do stuff, yeah, you're supposed to be distracted one way or another while they're busy doing something else wicked. So, to be expected. Also, they'll bail themselves out by doing something wicked to all of us. So again, wherever that Israeli FBI ATF bomb factory is in the United States, and by the way, just because we say question mark doesn't mean we don't know what we're looking at right now. Not going to be easy for them if they try to ride out. This is we're not going to let another camp Gruber slash another Oklahoma type thing. Uh, go. Let's just say unchecked right on the spot. Boom. where they're not going to get anywhere. When they try, everybody can map out exactly what happened. One of the neat things is the Foreign Satellite Services for on-time monitoring make such a big difference right now. So remember, there's a lot of tools in the toolbox, and we've been using all of them. So we're hunting the enemy harder than they think. They are hunting you or us. So make the point there. Anyway, I don't know if Edward is right there handy. One more time. Guns and gun owners docked accidentally. This is over at Guns and Gadgets. If we can, we'll pop that up on the screen, up in the system. And meanwhile, let's see a couple of things. I want to make sure we can do this while we're waiting. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's the Bentley docked. Accidentally, a dark text, accidentally. Mostly. Yeah, mostly. Well, you know, what that means is there's a BS. Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. It is just a crazy, crazy busy day, last couple days, and it's not going to stop this afternoon. Trust me. Video number four today if you haven't seen the other three, please go check them There's a lot of information a lot of important stuff dropping that you all need to know about if you're a gun owner We're gonna talk about this stuff going on in California where the California Department of Justice doxxed gun owners all of their personal information names address date of birth Social Security number everything that any thief needs to either a target you to be robbed be uh... steal your identification see steal your identity it was all made readily available and downloadable at the click of a button by attorney general rob bonta in california because he wants to get information out see this happened uh... seventy two hours after the uh... the Bruin case, the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association Bruin case said right in it that California, your laws are unconstitutional, looking for a good cause. You had to prove in order to get a license to carry that you were being chased by Ninja Turtles and they just didn't like it. Well, it has now been Well, they're not looking into it and the website has now been taken down, but the firearms database portal of the firearms dashboard portal, sorry, had everything on there, including information that docs 244 judges, 420 plus reserve police officers, 2,891 people in LA County alone. Now, since Attorney General Rob Bonta has confirmed that private information was released and that they are looking into the situation, they have taken the portal down. As you can see here, we are investigating an exposure of individuals' personal information connected to the DOJ Firearms Dashboard. Now, the California Rifle and Pistol Association is already hot and bothered, as are several gun groups, including gun owners of California. and CRPA President Chuck Michelle said this. Now for those who live in California, you've probably already knew about this. This is the second time that California has done something like this. Second time. You know, it's no question in my mind why it was done. However, I do know personally information has been requested. that is more than likely going to prove that either someone was grossly negligent or this was done on purpose. Either way, it's not good. If you are a California gun owner, take care of yourself. Watch your six. Keep your head on a swivel. They have made targets out of every single one of you. And we know that they don't go very hard on criminals either, so please take care of yourselves, take care of each other seriously. Once more information comes out, I will have it here. Please subscribe to the channel to stay in the know again, guys and gals in California. Take care of yourselves. Watch your six. Twist each other again. Be safe. Stay vigilant. Carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe, because that's what it's for. Whether or not these tyrant little spoiled babies like it or not. Take care. and the land of the fee and the home of the slave and guess what? Well, again, that's not just California has done this. That's only in recent times. This is about probably the 20th information dump like this that we've seen every time they've tracked it down. It was intentional, not accidental. That's a lie. They're doing, oh, we're going to be reasonable or under. No BS. It's a lie. They knew exactly what they were doing. That's the problem with the Communists. But here's the thing to consider. Whoever does come at you, just put a bullet in their ass. You know the criminals. If it's Antifa, BLM, or, you know, and again, those are crooks too. But, or other crooks, well, you bought the weapons for a reason. And this is the very reason you're gonna need them. But, as is pointed out, as I will say time and again, this demonstrates, as I've told you, why we need an American war for independence to take care of this problem, okay? Just that simple. And everybody needs to be taking that into consideration right now. So anyway, Guns and Gadgets over on YouTube. Now, I'm gonna ask you to do me another favor. And this has to do with YouTube. Also, but it has to do with us and if you go over to Liberty Tree radio on YouTube, please We need to make sure that the love that the site stays active Of course, we have some videos there or one or two videos are on Liberty Tree radio site have more than a million hits in fact also have an ongoing debate which is kind of fun to read if you go look at the comments, but if you go to YouTube then go to Liberty Tree Radio. I know you may not have time to listen to them, but this is a good way for them to pop up in whatever fictional algorithm. We're probably isolated, shadow banned, whatever else. But just to be safe, go over and give a thumbs up to as many videos on our channel as you can. If you can take a few minutes, just take five minutes, randomly hit any one of the videos. and give it a thumbs up, share it somewhere if you can. That will help to make sure that everything is copacetic and we're still functioning, etc., etc., for the long haul because as you know, YouTube has been going through and trying to destroy certain channels because they've, quote unquote, been less active or inactive. Another thing is, if we can, and Edward can also do this once or twice, just post a utility video, Ed, anything having to do with how to find us over here at www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. And the idea behind this is that again, we're able to pass the information on, you know, we'll use all the videos that are there, continue to use them. And if you can, if you want to share, especially, for instance, I know I've got listeners that are from Sprely. Guys, if you want to help us out, go to our older training videos that are up there. Slide them sideways over to Sprely. That would help us out. I know I've got a bunch of people that are listening that are also, you know, we're friends back and forth there. Post them wherever you want to and share them. This is going to put activity up on our page, which is something we need to do. So... you can help out that way. Now, there is a couple of things that I would remind everybody about. And the videos that definitely you want to share because they're also, well, they didn't like them, obviously, on YouTube. But the videos that we have on militia-knowyourenemy, example, that's a great one, and I recommend it. Up until a while back, we actually were posting the regular programming, as you probably know. If you go over to our page and go through videos that are posted, or you can punch up militia-knowyourenemy, take the time, give it a thumbs up, and also make a comment. Throw a comment in there, wherever you can. That particular one, because that's the Michigan State Police destroying Scott Woodring's house. Share that wherever you can. As a matter of fact, I'm sharing it right now because I can send it over to my a couple of my other allied accounts and I'm doing it you can do it. So I just sent it over to okay, and I just sent over tumblr and hold on let's see what else was missing here. Oh, there's a thing called goo. I think I'll try goo, but I'm gonna have to do that later I can't do it right now because I'm not with goo. But anyway, share it wherever you can. Send it over to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, whatever. And then go on and do something else. But that particular one, militia dash know your enemy. Please take the time and share that particular one. It is especially unique and useful. And then another one, which is really kind of fun, is ambush. Now we're almost, almost at 2 million for this video. I'm serious, we're almost at 2 million. And it's interesting that, again, post a comment. New comments would be kind of fun. You can hear the noise in the background. So I'm making noise that Edward probably knows where the hell they're coming from. But anyway, if you go over to YouTube and punch in Ambush, all caps, We're at 1,910,894. Hell, we gained about half a million since the last time I looked at this. So, and it's a militia, it's a monument. Go ahead, go. This is Tom. The anniversary of the Scott Wootgens thing coming up in a few days, July 6th, I think, is happening. Yep, and as a matter of fact, so everybody, it would be a good thing to share. That video, it's militia-knowyourenemy. Okay? That's the first one. And that's the, there's an explanation, there's a description in the body, and if you scroll through the comments, there are several people that have commented who were involved with, either as relatives, etc., that know what's going on. and this especially would be something that you need to share with people. They can go check it out, but recommend that they go read the comments from the original YouTube video. And also, Ambush, and the reason I'd like to see, you know what, this is really, I'm serious about this, if we could push that, it'd be fun to hit two million on that video. I think it'd be kind of cool. That video, I've hit people, whoa! Obviously, I have to say, Oh, the wiretap switch. The guy must have been probably pressing on one button and he hit another. All of a sudden we've got that background noise thing coming back in again. So, and nobody's done anything to change it. Nothing, it's all happening at the spy end. That's not happening anywhere else, not with Ed, not with us, etc. So just a heads up there. Anyway, Ambush, it is five minutes and 17 seconds long. And if you could, please do it right now. While you're listening to us, you can be punching up, uh, or go over to YouTube. Find the videos, militia dash know your enemy. And then also, ambush all capitals. And these are both on Liberty Tree Radio. And then while you're at it, take the time and also give everything a thumbs up. More thumbs up, happier everybody is. In fact, double plus good there. What's interesting is the the likes it shows there's 389 likes Guys this video has had 1 million We were in the tens and tens if not hundred a hundred thousand. I actually know I think the break was it was like 510 thousand likes and about a hundred thousand dislikes because people were arguing this is not this is really this is not real and that others were no no it's real because And if you watch the video, if you haven't watched this before, there's a lot of fun here in intentionally things that I did because if you've ever paid attention to how corpses lay or how casualties lay, it's not a nice, neat, straight stretcher case. And I try, I explained this when we filmed this with all the people who participated. I actually walked to each one and said, okay, you have to drop your arm and you have to actually just let it limp, go limp. And this is also critical when it came time for the medics to actually be surveying the casualties. So heads up on that one if you go back through the scroll. But I just realized that it's got 1,910,000 views plus, but we got 389 thumbs up. Does that make any sense? Obviously they've re-indexed something with regard to the, well we don't want anybody to think they liked it, because it's actually close to a million likes by the last time they looked at it. Now we're all of a sudden, wow, it's just like totally changed. But that's cool, we expect that from the system, so there's nothing there that's surprising me or making me go, oh god, I never would have expected that. Yeah, I would. It's exactly what I expect from the system, sir. There's nothing that surprises us, nothing. Not in any way, shape or form. Also randomly give a thumbs up to several of the different program postings that we already did. Again, it's a random number from one to the other as far as how many views or how many whatever. The numbers are way off. They've done something to try and jostle it as part of the algorithm. So it's rather interesting in that it's a total askew to the rest. But that's okay. We will live with it. We don't live in YouTube. It's just fun to play. That's what it was supposed to be there for. Fun to play. Uh, let's see, next. And again, it is Weapons Wednesday, but we're also almost to the bottom of the hour. So I'll tell you what we're gonna do. I'm gonna put this in mute as soon as I hear the bottom of the hour. Hey! How'd it go to me? No, that was me. I wasn't dead. Aww. Your hum is back. Yes, I know it's very random. It's like I just went in the shop back so I couldn't hear it I can't quality control and quality control and pride performance does not exist with any of these In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, hear ye not just singin' of the view, the wild and free. Well soon you'll know right bow from the tree. Oh, the right bow, oh, the right bow. In our hands, the proven of the right bow. You may ride a good late speed, you may not stern the master You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys and their leader George Star Glad you make up little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle Hit our hands, we'll prove no frightful Maggie no graves at home, back across the dry new water And yet he must come like, well it's to the slaughter But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If Clinton's figure hold a buck through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle And again guys, remember, this is my rifle. Either without one, without the other, it is useless, or you are useless. Well, what it means is you have to improvise, adapt, overcome, and jump in as quickly as you can with something else. I think the rifle would be your first best choice. Yeah, a face plasma rifle would be fine, but... Otherwise, again, master the trade. The weapon that you choose, I don't care what it is. If you want to bring a 105, you got a Howitzer, or if you got a, you know, whatever else in the inventory, and that's your first choice. Hey, that and anything below it? Double plus good. I don't care, but master it. Understand how it works. Know how to make it work for you. Know how to integrate it with the team. And again, make for a better plan and a better end result slash victory. Plan ahead. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. But if you're going to commit to a weapons system, make sure you have everything you need in the process. to get the job done. Now I want to say thank you to Angela. Satan responds to Roe vs Roe v Wade overturned. This is the Babylon V. It's cute, it's well done, it is four minutes and two seconds long. We're not going to play it on the area, don't worry about that. But I will mention it. Satan responds to Roe vs Wade overturned. And yeah, he's in costume, so it's something you can share in hand. Everybody can kind of, you know, laugh and Kind of smile, but realize how grim things really are in the process since the Babylon B channel. Satan responds to row B, Wade, overturned. Four minutes, two seconds long. Give it a thumbs up, save it, and in fact I'm going to do that, but I also really share the second two. So over at YouTube it is Satan responds to Roe v. Wade overturn it is from the Babylon B Channel on YouTube and already has about half a million half a million views so it's pretty cool and Needless to say it's probably already been shared quite a bit anyway and Next now we're good is weapons Wednesday also Let's see, turn your .22 long rifle into a percussion cap. For everybody out there, this is something I've seen before, but there's an excellent video. And again, write this down. Write this down, write this down, or save it right now if you're going to go over to YouTube. Again, turn your .22 long rifle into long rifle cartridge, LR, into percussion caps. No special tools required. One more time, this is over on YouTube. This is the channel is Major Musket. Major Musket. Why is this useful? Well, once again, 22 ammunition is considered money, okay? If you're familiar with Fred Rexer, he actually was one of the several individuals years ago who pointed out that it wouldn't make any difference how much 22 ammo you've got. It's never enough. And if you're looking for something to invest in that's just as good as gold, silver, or whatever other precious metals, well, lead and brass and powder, just as valuable. In this case, this is a recap, or actually it's another excellent video. It is two months ago, it was done two months ago, but it is turn your 2-2LR into percussion caps. No special tools required. Now let me point something out about this and I don't know if he's gonna mention it because I've seen three or four videos on this now. But, you know, when you pull the bullet for that .22, when you're gonna make the .22 into a, you use it as a percussion cap for your black powder rifle, I'm sure gonna save the powder. You don't waste that. But remember, the bullets are already, you know, cast. So if you had, for instance, muzzle loading like 54, 52, 50 caliber, or if you have a 60 or 74, whatever, take your choice, fill in the blank, whatever it is. Follow the instructions for modifying the brass. Again, also, because you're cutting the brass down, you save the brass. The brass is a commodity unto itself. Everything you're disassembling gets saved, okay? However, That bullet makes for a great shot load in a bag, you know, making a paper charge up for that black powder gun you're shooting. We've talked about night fire with any weapon, but if you're looking at, well, look at it this way, it's basically, it's number four buck, but kind of oval, right? Because the bullet you're pulling is pure lead. 22 caliber. You know what the weight is depending on what cartridge you're sacrificing and needless to say you probably want to take your cheapest, least expensive, less sophisticated round and use it for this kind of modification if you are short. But the bullets, I directly reapply them and actually either with loading up a shotgun shell or doing a paper, a little paper bag charge. that you ram down the tube of the black powder gun. It's like doing, again, like doing buckshot. So it's a pretty cool solution. There's all kinds of different ways you can deal with that in terms of what you want to use. But if you also had shotgun, you're reloading, just reload all those little .22 caliber bullets right into a cardboard base cup and add as many as you can for proper weight spec. and use it for anti-personnel down the hallway or whatever. It doesn't need to go that far. There's all kinds of things. You also recast the lead. Don't forget that. So one way or another, multiple solutions from the same idea. See how that works? Again, turn your 2-2 LR into percussion caps. No special tools required. and that's Major Musket Channel. Go over there, give him a thumbs up, take the time and save it, and also share it wherever you can if you've got allies. And again, it's got only 22,000 hits on this particular video. And this is a very useful tool for a lot of you guys that may have those in the inventory. And the first thing you're worried about is, well, where am I going to get more percussion caps from? Well, you've already got a big ton of them out there in the inventory ready to go. Also, there are a couple of other solutions that will work, and yes, you can even reload a .22 cartridge case for this purpose. There's the same process you would use for reloading a .22 and actually loading it top to bottom. There are kits, in fact, of all people, BudK.com, BudK.com, BudK.com has had, and they may still have, an inventory the 22 caliber, 22 long rifle or short reloading kits. And this is with everything the tools necessary to reactivate a fire to 22 long rifle round. Well, rather than just doing the whole round, that's a convenient way to actually activate more caps. for whatever percussion weapons you might have. Now a lot of you are going, wow, and I use a percussion gun. Well, actually every weapon you've got should be ready to fire in an exchange. But one of the things you can do with a lot of your less sophisticated, for instance, single shot weapons. Let's say you've got a single shot, 12-gauge shotgun. Hold on, caller, just for a second. The big thing here is Mr. Duck Tape, some fishing line, and a little cross dowel to pull the line with. means that you can put a gun, any weapon, black powder works just as well for this mission. Single shot, can't reload it this fast, although I can do pretty good. I actually worked with, uh, years ago as a powder monkey with lumous battery when I was real young. And, uh, in the process I fired three band, uh, spring fields and three band end fields. And you're supposed to be able to pull about three rounds a minute. I think I could almost do that still right now. More practice do better. But I don't plan on fighting with a musket against the AR, if I can help it. But loading it up with a shotgun load and pointing it towards the door or out a window creates the illusion of more shooters. And again, you're not having to worry. It's not like you're committing a weapon that you may need to grab and run with. It's a weapon that you can also pull back from where it's been used after you fired it. Load it back up, slide it back over where it needs to be, where it's duct taped to that chair, and you do it again. Or duct tape it to a piece of furniture so that barrel's pointed out the window in a direction and it does its job. Remember, all of a sudden there's six, seven, ten shooters instead of two or three. Or eight, nine, ten shooters. If you're all more weapons you have, more string you need, more duct tape. Anyway, go ahead and call our Japan there. Just to comment, I'm pretty sure I've seen the .22 Magnum reloading kit as well. And they come with a bullet mold. So that's pretty neat. Since I'm pretty sure the .22 Magnum bullet is slightly different in diameter than the LR. Now... Exactly. One of the things about .22 Magnum... is that many of the lowest range .22556 bullets, if you look at some of the stuff done by Spear and Hornady, are in fact what are supposed to be small energy Gamegetter rounds, bullets, those can be used for loading .22 Magnum quite successfully. If you have a system for loading the .22 Magnum, understand the only thing that's going to be an issue is How heavy or how much heavier is the bullet? What is your range restriction? What's your bullet drop with the formula that you have with the available case base? Because there's all kinds of things you can do with reloading, if you're willing to go up or down the scale. Let's not forget that you can still do some major van damage with a 55 or 50, well, a 50 grain spitzer. is very common from pretty much all the bullet companies. Flat base spitzer, ball or hollow point round. It comes to a spire tip, very small, small opening, but it will expand or compress quite nicely. Well, you load that up in a 22 Magnum, and while you may not get the ballistic performance to extreme range, for a short to intermediate range, it's a major, significant, you know, harmful round. It can terminate people quite nicely or gain quite nicely. Don't forget also that, again, with .22 long rifle, there's so many different things you can do with it. This is why Rexure said it's cash on the shelf. You can sell it for the ammunition, it's needed for the weapons that it's needed for. You can barter trade exchange. But you can also engineer. And don't forget, remember, we can also take the spent cases and turn them 22 long rifle into 55 grain spitzer jackets for the AR-15. That's been done for decades now, guys. That's all been worked out. So there are many different solutions and many uses for virtually every element of the 22 long rifle from original use intent on through to improvised. Go ahead. Fuse bodies for your handheld improvised devices. Yep. Oh and also exactly what he's doing here The basic idea with the percussion cap for the black powder gun does work Yes in the same way for fuse activation of any number of things pop boom or pop Now, you know, thank you for bringing it up because this is something it's weapons Wednesday We were talking about improvised munitions the other day, and we were also talking about, you know, building things like, if you can build a rifle grenade flare, then you probably can build other things that go boom, kind of like bird bomb things. However, let me point something out, and I will warn you, beware, beware, beware, warning, danger, Will Robinson, danger. Many of the manuals that were done in the 80s The improvised munitions people who were out there were using hot glue guns for their solutions for certain seals or fixtures on the, for instance, reloaded 37mm bird bomb configured rounds. Guys, that was the destruction of a lot of 37mm M203 look-alikes or the M79 look-alikes that were out there that were in 37mm flare. Why? The problem is that the materials, which hot glue guns cool for a lot of different things and can still be applied for certain parts of the construction. But what they did is they were using this for a seeding the bird bomb itself onto the case and locking it in. Now that wasn't a guaranteed thing because again the hot glue Has the response differently to different materials aluminum steel cardboard obviously plastics whatever and What happened is the glue if you look and beware beware beware many of the improvised munitions ideas tell you about tell you to use hot glue that you can use a hot glue gun to Seal the fuse channel well guys what happened and I've told you this before in fact are you brought this up asking? Well would older munitions be safe? Even brand new munitions can be very dangerous if not assembled right. And in this case what happened is, since people have a tendency to carry those 37 millimeter rounds around, and we've talked about flexing and material flexing on the air many times, what happened is the guys built them, used the kits for building the 37 millimeter bird bomb, assemblies. They used the hot glue. The hot glue shrank more than they anticipated. This created blow by through the seal for instance where the prima cap is hit because 22 or you can use 22 or you can use conventional primers. In some formulas they even use a full cartridge with a primer, you know, just a cut off case using the primer pocket as the guide like they do on the 40 millimeter grenade rounds that are practiced in fiber, you know, spun fiberglass. In this case what happens is because the material is a lesser quality and it has density to break free or create a bleed channel. What happened is when the person fired the round, while I'm sure the fuse was activated, it made no difference because there was a blow point along the side of where the hot glue was used that went down through the channel that the fuse is laying in. and it activated the primary charge immediately because the hot glue was also used for the primer cord that goes into the charge. So what happens is instead of you, you know, launching the round and it going down range and the fuse is activated and it goes boom! Instead, you pull the pin, you, forgive me, you pull the trigger, pop the firing pin, pops the primer. The primer both activates the fuse, but the fire channel, the fuse channel works as a flame channel, a direct like, direct feed, and it burned right through or around the fuse to the main charge, and the charge goes off in the projector right there in your hand. Okay, because remember we're talking an M203 copy or we're talking an M79 copy where you put your head to your shoulder and you fired it, the thing discharges or goes off literally right there while you're holding it. That'll ruin your day. Yeah, I've seen them where they've blown out like blunderbuss and I've seen them where they blew out mid-station because the round will barely leave the case as it's leaving the case because the projecting charge is activated at the same time. What happens is that three or four inches past the initial chamber, that's where the thing blows up. Problem, in most cases, that's where people have their hands. So there wasn't, I do not believe this was accidental. I believe that the idea... Like many things were put out there as a sabotage proposal. This is something that was done, it was put out there with a bunch of ad hoc books that you could not have tested this and not known that this was progressively going to happen. In other words, if you work in fireworks, guys, you want to really understand how to assemble pyrotechnics. One of the best things you can do is go find a fireworks company. There's one in virtually every state and work with them. Go sign up. I'm sure they need workers right now. Of course, we are into the fireworks season. Now, once you do that, you'll understand static electricity threat. You'll understand chamber suppression. You'll understand, again, non-compromising seals, which can be made with something as simple as, you know, a high-impressed cardboard, okay? But the materials that are used for sealing need to be much more resilient. They cannot have an expansion or a shrink factor, especially since they're going to be probably carried for a period of time. Now, I will remind you that I've talked about this many times. The DOD, the government, knows all about these, these problems. And if you simply copy exactly what's been done by the system, then you will learn a great lesson in safety. And that's why working for a fireworks company is really a great thing because once you understand what's done with less sophisticated manufacturing and you realize, oh, maybe it's a little more sophisticated than you thought, then you will greatly appreciate the idea of how you can put other fun things together that go boom in the night. Now some things you like... So would only quality epoxy work much better than the also easy to use? Yes, now some of the epoxies, but here's the thing, you may want to put a filament plastic in there as an expansion filler. Now the trick to that is if you know somebody who has a shop where they do boring or grinding. I've seen striated nylon, I've seen striated fiberglass used. The material has to be of a denser chip that is not going to be affected by heat or cold. Because again, remember the heat is the material, you know, when the cap goes off, there's flame. Now what we don't want is for there to be either a melting and expansion or a blow through. And we don't want compression with cold, which, remember when stuff shrinks, it pulls away from the area that it was supposed to seal. So that's the biggest consideration with all of this. And epoxies work really well. There are several bondo or body type plastics that are actually quite desirable because, well, what are they designed to do? They're designed to work with dissimilar materials. bond to them and they have to be able to roll with the metal expanding and contracting. So they will maintain their adhesion. That's the big thing. Number one, the adhesion to the original surfaces must be maintained so the material has to be able to expand and contract when it's going through different weathering slash temperature cycles. The other thing though, you got to watch, and this is why car bonding materials are really good. is it has to be able to endure weather conditions and flexing. Well, think about it. Your vehicle goes down the road and flexes a whole hell of a lot, doesn't it? Have you had any chunks of your body filler roll off after 10 miles because it just doesn't want to stick to the vehicle? Well, I've seen that happen, but usually it's the Puerto Ricans that put six inches to fill the area that's not there. But it's also when the rust finally expands too, right? The rust gives away the water that was put over. The big thing about this is again also remember that you have to research and confirm that if it's going to be used near a fusing channel or near anything that has to expand or burn, that the material does not cross contaminate whatever your fusing system is. This is why research and development is something that needs to be done. But it's pretty obvious that when you're dealing with these particular materials, they are designed to be malleable to a degree. And typically, they're not going to give off resins or any forms of other residue because, again, typically, not only are you finishing the material and working it with finishing technology, sandpaper, you know, whatever kind of system you're using, grit, wire. But the other thing is it also has to be able to handle locking in paint, you know, bonding with other materials that are other latexes, polymers, whatever. That's not going to be a problem with what you do. But remember, when you look at these designs and you'll run into manuals out there that are still hanging around, wherever you see the word, you know, the idea, especially for pyrotechnics using a hot glue gun, Well, immediately that needs to be taken out of the formula unless it is simply a non-critical, you know, element where it's somehow just simply locking something that is totally expedient into place. Example, maybe a weatherized cap or something like that. Because, remember, like you do with fireworks, you have a weatherization, a weather- a anti-dirt, crud, and moisture cap or seal that's on the containment system for the device. Right now is a great time to do a comparative study on autopsy on stuff. If you're going to buy fireworks, maybe buy one or two just to disassemble to take a look at to see how they were built rather than shooting them. And this will help you in this time right now, we're in the 4th of July window, this is where you can get hold of a whole bunch of interesting stuff for a pretty reasonable price, especially as they get closer to the holiday. And now you can afford to disassemble and do an autopsy on any of the components that you have, anything you have, because you may also want to build it yourself. But I will remind you again in the processes of all munitions manufacturing. One of the number one enemies that you have is static electricity. And by God, always remember that because it can happen so easily. In many cases, I would say that the lion's share of most of the incidents that you see with, for instance, firework factory failures are typically going to be Umm, the static electricity problems. Now it can also be sloppiness or laziness because, you know, the one or where gay, especially stuff in Mexico, oh there could be any number of goofs that could happen. Most important is to remember that even the people running the place may not maintain safety standards. However, the big thing is static electricity with almost all of your chemical processes, certainly with even the petroleum industry, you'd be surprised how much work is done to protect the system from static electricity threat. That's why things are grounded so as heavily as they are, is precautionary. So that is something you always need to wrap your brain around. You want to survive just producing things? Well, know how things work. And then never, you can never cut corners on safety procedures with what literally can become a, wasn't but can become a life and death threat environment because you decided to me cheapen out a little bit. Okay. It's bad for, well, your survivability rating. Okay. Just think of it that way. One of the other things going on right now Oh, by the way again, let's not forget take advantage of your fireworks guys. Oh My goodness, oh my Anyway, a quick reminder is that if you're when you're dealing with fireworks There's a lot of stuff that would be kind of handy for lobbying over the next fence line. It doesn't have to reach miles My favorite is the Barack the Barack type multi-fud fireworks where it launches out you get that burst of about 9 10 15 What look like typically they're also? Metalized trails they've got a metalized trail looks like a flower going out and then each of the individual pedals Explodes with a charge with a boom a report A significant report. Not another flare, but a report. Now guys, that's an awfully handy tool where you launch it, goes downrange into a tree line and BOOM! Right over the tree line and everything drops at ground height just about and goes BOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOM That's effective no matter what it is. Okay, it doesn't have to be fragmentation. That is effective in letting the enemy know, why don't we just put some across their bow? Right over there. What do you mean? Well, I can see with my thermal and you can see with your night vision, they're about 280 yards out. They're right at that location. I am pointing right at it. I'll hit it with a laser and then you fire. Okay, where I want you to aim, pay attention. pop the laser on the target, launch the pre-launch knowing what your arc and angle of approximate approach is, and drop it right into the area of activity. You don't care even if it bursts on the ground. It doesn't make any difference. But the multiple concussive charges going off, you just let them know that that's to let them know that if you're, I guess, maybe going to give them the idea of maybe they should go home, you can drop that right into their lap and inform them that you know right where they are. That as long as it doesn't land right literally in somebody's lap. I don't know that it's not fragmentation No, no, it is still stunning. It's still an effective stunt device It's yeah, think about the the amount of concussive force you feel when you're at the 4th of July and They're throwing those big works up in the air like quarter sticks or whatever they are and you get some of them that go Yep, that's the concussive force you can feel it as though it's three four hundred feet up in the air and you could still feel a pound of your chest That's very effective. And remember that those are available in what are basically the low end private, or I should say upper end private, low end commercial, and are available all over the country right now. This is when you buy them. Seriously, if I were to buy one, one, one firework right now, that's the firework you should be looking for. Now you're, you're, it's, it used to be called a Barack bomb or whatever because it goes out, you get the kaboom boom. And it's got a nice concussive central burst, but what it's doing is blowing all of the different parts away. They usually have a trace, so they create like usually what is a... a gold or copper color that's metallic. It doesn't just look like a regular blue, red, or whatever, even though those are all metallic too. But it's very, very metallic in color, very pretty, usually gold that goes out. You can see, if you pay attention, you can see the fuse burning at the end, and then the next charge goes off. And they're all concussive. You let them know that you got a good idea where they're courtingly? That's mine. I'm gonna get out of the way and take it over Craig from Vermit Knowledge coming up next. You can see what I'm doing today. Okay live if we are at the end of I don't know what day it is. It's like the 29th or something of June. If you're listening near the end of June, the last Wednesday in June, we are live. 29th of June. Okay, so at least I know I know somebody can hear me. Boy all the safety wire is gonna drive me crazy with this machine. I just pulled off the radiator on my proposal. You've been following me the last few weeks. I have the Army truck and there's a really extremely brief synopsis. I have a 1955 Mac 6x6 5 ton dump truck and it's got a Continental 6602 engine in it and I found basically that I'm going to have to either do a lot of work to the engine or get a new engine and I happen to find a new engine at a good price. Not a new engine, but an engine that was rebuilt in 1978, but has zero miles on it and packed by the military for 44 years. And so I got ahold of it and I'm going to put that engine in my machine. Probably the cheapest way, unless it's just a head gasket problem with this engine. I got low compression on all cylinders and even low, low compression on three cylinders. So the engine needs work. I don't know what, at this point in time, I don't know, and I don't really care whether it's valves, head gasket, or rings. But since I got an engine now, I don't really have to worry about that right now. I will later. When I pull this engine out, I am going to do a better diagnosis. I also bought a, a Arrow's special fitting on it. It's got a spark plug. I can screw the air hose into the spark plug and on the other end I can hook up an air compressor. Got a male nipple on it for the standard air compressor fittings for hose and I can pressurize whatever cylinder is the lowest, the opposite of top dead center, whatever they call that, where both valves are closed on that cylinder, fill it with compressed air and I may or may not be able to see where it's leaking. I couldn't hear, listen to see if it's coming through the water channels or it's coming through the oil channels. We're coming outside just upon the side of the engine or whether it's coming out through the valves. If I pull the dump covers, I can see that part. So it's another way that I think I can diagnose an engine a little bit. And we'll do that and see how that goes. Anyway, I'm not even going to bother with that right now. That'll probably be a winter project because frankly I got to hold so much more to do on this warmer weather. So I'm not going to scrap the engine just yet, but I am pulling the engine out and I'm going to do some tests later on it. And maybe, there's a, when I was a teenager, I went to a vocational technical school through high school. It was a two year course. And all areas of country have this. Where high school students can go and take technical classes, hands on experience at usually a site away from the normal high school. And they can learn the trades such as being a mechanic or a builder or whatever. And I was in the building trades and that's, anyway, I had the idea, well, and one of my viewers also on YouTube had the idea of, well, why don't you get the students to do this? And well, the problem with that is kind of threefold for my purposes. First of all, I'm kind of on a time frame here. I don't you know, the school the school season is over and okay I get it arranged to bring it in they start on the fall and Then I wouldn't have it so next year basically. So that's the time frame just didn't fit for me secondly The getting it there it's a it's a gorgeous of the same way as 22,000 pounds and it's got a six ton rock in the back and ten flat tires So the logistics of getting it up on a trailer and hauling it there is kind of very difficult too. And there was a third reason too, and I can't think of it at the moment, but anyway, you get the idea. I don't want to wait that long and now I have an engine anyway. But maybe I'll take that engine to them, just I'll contact them, and maybe they'll take the engine in over winter. And they just generally, I think they can't really charge you for labor, but they charge you just for the parts they have to get. So it would be a good deal if maybe they want to rebuild an old engine, although I don't know how hard it would be to find a buyer for this. Or I don't really think I'm hoping I never need a spare engine around for this machine. So I'm hoping that's not the case. I don't just want to hang onto it just because I want a spare engine. But the beautiful part about this, and if you watch the videos, and I'll get that in a second, is I have a spare air compressor now, a spare generator. I'm looking at the engine. I got a spare distributor, spare starter, spare fuel pump. Spare water pump. I have spares of just about everything, everything but the carburetor on this new engine. Okay, now speaking of the new engine, I went over this last week for those of you who were with me last week. I was able to find an engine pack by the military, well an engine rebuilt by the military in 1978. So I had all the paperwork with it and everything and it was packed in a shipping container. And I've been told since, they get some good comments on my YouTube channel sometimes, that apparently these containers were meant to be thrown out of airplanes, dropped off an airplane with a parachute and they're intended to land upright when they need them in the field somewhere so they can air drop them. And I got thinking about that and probably because of the size of the container, we're talking five feet high, five feet wide, six feet long, because of the volume of I am guessing it might be going to be buoyant to it to be flowing floating so you could drop it in This lands in a lake they could still retrieve it this kind of thing or if a ship sinks it could be Ploated to the surface or something. I don't know I don't have any data on that whether or not this thing would float But I don't put it past it because it was airtight. It was pressurized at five pounds of pressure with nitrogen in it and it had a gauge on it and a humidity indicator window that you could look in and see what the humidity got up to even 30% and it had not. Over a time frame, it still had not even gone up to 30%, which is the lowest level the indicator shows on the gauge in the window. So it had not much, but anyway. So I have this container that I'll put the old engine in the container and put the lid on it until I can figure out what I'm gonna do with this old engine. So, alright, but the new engine, and you can see this on YouTube, the YouTube channel is for bid TV, for bids spelled with two D's, no space. I have put two new videos since we last spoke, since the last show I did, live show last week. And there I do have videos that I made while performing this diagnosis and getting and unpacking the engine. One video basically continues on the story about what I found out about the engine about being low compression and what am I going to do about it and the fact that I found one in the Finlay show and... Shows me doing some other things moving the engine around and and then the third video is an unboxing video YouTube has a lot of what they're generally referred to as unboxing videos where somebody buys something like a I know a computer or a Stereo system or a tool or something and they buy brand-new little case in the box. Okay school We open it up. We show all those accessories and it show what's in it and show how good to together assemble it if it needs assembly And then tests didn't maybe rate. Okay, that's one of the things that this kind of YouTube does. They aren't that interesting usually, but mine, I knew would be interesting to find an engine that was basically like a time capsule 44 years ago. And that's something that somebody's ever nobody's ever seen nobody's ever seen Paul I mean unless you're in the military and dealt with this you never seen these things so I thought it'd be cool to do an unboxing there So that's what one of the videos are showing me basically cracking it open for the first time examining it doing inventory What's on the engine showing the name plates and the prevent and the and the all the information on it now I don't know if last time I we talked if I had done a compression test on it But I did do a compression test I showed that in the video I did complete a compression test on the new engine. And I think maybe we did talk about this. And what I found was the compression on all the cylinders was all very consistent at about 105 pounds pressure, which the consistency was what really got me very happy. The consistency, however, the paperwork inside the width of the paperwork came with the engine that was packed inside the crate showed a compression test within four points of Plus or minus of the 100 well, no not plus or minus plus or minus two points For four point spread of 115 pounds per square inch or no, I'm sorry 120 120 now the engine is close to the engine specs say it's supposed to be between 110 and 130 and it was basically right at 120 plus or minus two points 2% to two points psi So, my numbers were 105, so I was about 1500. Now, I'm thinking that may not be a problem only because my gauge is a Harbor Freight tool thing and it's like cheap and whatever. But it was consistent. I'm thinking I'm off by 15. Hello. Colors Harbor freight gauges do tend to register slightly low, but on another day, a different Harbor freight gauge might reach a little high. They don't have the consistency of an American made gauge. But the consistency of that engine is, however, an extremely good sign. Yeah. And I'm not surprised about anything. I buy my freight tools. I realize it. You have to really be gentle with it, can't overstress it, you can't look at it funny, otherwise you broke your tool. So yeah, I'd be hard of afraid, but it's cheap. It was only like 30 bucks with tax. So as opposed to buying something that's over 100 bucks, I was happy with 30 bucks for something I may never use again. But anyway, I will be using it again to check. What I want to do is, and somebody also said, and I know this is the case, but somebody said, because there was no carburetor on that engine when I tested it, the new engine, and I put, and there was tape over the intake, the holes for the exhaust medical intake. It was like duct tape over the holes. So somebody said, well, you need to have full flow. You need to have the throttle all the way open or whatever. If the engine's in the truck, have the throttle all the way open. And so in this case, there was duct tape. There's duct tape covering the holes. Now, I don't know. I'm thinking the amount of energy that started pulling, I would think it would probably blow off that duct tape or suck it in and break it. I don't know. I didn't even look. I didn't even notice what happened in the end. I didn't visually confirm that. But the duct tape was covering the intake manifold. So maybe that had something to do with some of the low pressure. I don't know. I would think there's enough power to basically break that tape open. But I'm not sure. But anyway, I'll know when I open up the crate again and look at the engine. Because right now the engine is back in this crate. I moved it to the property where the engine, where the truck is. I got it within like 20 feet of the truck with my cranes. And so it's within reach of the crane, both the old engine and new engine. And now it's within reach of the crane. So I'll be able to take this engine out eventually and get this thing done. So I started. Firstly, I took out the old engine. Well, first of all, I did, and this is something I really should have done. I should have never trusted those mechanics. And of course, I'm not a mechanic, so I can't trust myself. I should have never trusted those mechanics to know how to hook my stuff back up again. And they didn't know they were scratching their head and they bailed on me. So I'm talking about my crawler loader with the diesel engine that I rebuilt. I still haven't had a mechanic out here to be able to finish the job. So on this one, what I did was grab my video camera and edit a whole bunch of videos showing where every single wire went, every single little pipe went, every single little bolt and hose and everything I could find relating to the engine. I made a video of it. So I'll keep that. I'll use that for future reference. So this way, I know how it goes back together. I'll have a good idea of it. The reason I say that is because I've seen a couple little differences just off a memory. And I can't look at both engines at the moment. But just going off memory, the power steering configuration is a lot different on this old truck. There is a reservoir mounted on the engine basically for the power steering, whereas this has a reservoir completely isolated, mounted in a separate location on the fender. So we'll see. I'll get to that as I go. So there may be some head scratching. There may be some swearing going on. But visually, I think I'm seeing a few different things. Anyway, I won't really know that at the moment, but I'm so confident we'll be able to get this done. I just felt sure, I hope it really is the right engine, but I do think it is. Because I also see this one has a name tag, which I can't see because it's not only credit over, but it's in an area where I can't look at. Yeah, sure, I thought there was a call. How you doing there? Okay, yeah, thanks. Thank you, Chris. Yes, yes, so when you do a compression check on any engine show it have it wide open throttle or no carburetors on her at all Okay, well the carburetor was not on there, but but there was duct tape on there. Yeah Okay, well we do it and we check it, but it doesn't matter if you had real fancy gauge But they all come up pretty even you're kind of pretty decent engine It better be decent. Well, it's supposed to be 110 according to specs 110 130 Well, yeah, well you might not have a gate that actually will read the actual right amount as you were talking about, but, uh, yeah, you know, and since you got an engine, you could easily pull with pistons and just put new rings and lightly read home the cylinder, and then you would really back up to where it should be, I guess. Is there a used engine? The engine that I'm putting in there is a rebuilt engine in 1978, but it was packed in the original crate from the military. Oh, heck, I wouldn't worry about that. I'm not really worried about it, but I wanted to check it. I'm not sure why I even needed to check it necessarily, but I just since I already knew how to do that. You should do that. Good. Good compression. And also the old engine. before I pulled the carburetor anything. I did not have the throttle wide open or anything. So the carburetor was constricting air flow as well. So the test I did on the old engine might have been wrong, but because they weren't consistent, I'm sure that's, it doesn't matter. I haven't done that a long time, any far as forgetting to do that. And then how much difference would be if you had to fell open or if it's closed, I mean, you have to do that. It kind of have to do that, you know? Okay, let's try it one time. Fell closed, okay, I fell open, you know? Well, I'm living and learning, I'm not a mechanic. I'm living and learning since I'm not a mechanic and some of you on this network here are helping me out and some of the people on YouTube are helping me out, so we'll get it done. I am a mechanic, I rebuilt many engines. So, you're doing pretty good. You should be good. Okay, and then, so, okay, go ahead, thank you. A little lubrication inside the cylinder is the spark plug hole and then crank it over by hand before you... Try to start it and all that. Make sure you get some lubrication in there. It's been a set for a while. You stay in a crate, right? Yes. You do? You do? Well, OK. Well, it would hurt to put a little lubrication in each cylinder and take the spark plugs out and turn it over with the starter real fast. And you just let it sit for 24 hours or whatever. And when you're ready to put it in and put your spark plugs back in and just let it rip. See what happens. Put some oil in the crate case. Well, I've already done the comparison test and I'm not going to do the whole thing again. Now I may check it based on the new information I have and I look at that duct tape. If the duct tape is still on there and it hasn't blown out, I'm going to just check one cylinder and see if we're at 105 or we're indeed at 120. So that's about the only test I'm going to do on that new engine. The old engine, I'm not worried about it. Yeah, take the duct tape off. Put some nice clean... toilet paper or Kleenex in each hole until you're ready to do the manifolds and what kind of engine what kind of car is this? It's a big buckets a Continental 6602 What year? What year? 90 well the truck is a 1955 Mac. 1955 Mac? Okay. Okay. The engine is a Continental. Right. What size is that? Well 602. There's five times on truck. Right, right. So it all lines up with the transmission, or anything? So you'd be good, right? Well, I don't know the answer to that. Oh, well, OK. You'll find out. I'm not sure what you mean. It lines up with the transmission. What do you mean? But it does come as don't transmission will work for your truck, or you have to put the engine to the truck itself. I mean, to the transmission. This truck was running 20 years ago when I parked it here. I've owned the truck for about 25 years. So everything else is here. The transmission is there. It worked 20 years ago. I have no way of testing a transmission at this point until I get the engine. No, no, no. I didn't mean to. We'll line up with the transmission as far as mounting bolts. Well, if I got the right engine, it should, right? Okay. Yeah, sure. Yes. What company is that? Ford? The company is Continental. The nameplate was made in Muskegon, Michigan. Oh, you got a big engine. Okay, that's a 6-0-1, yeah, that's a big engine. Well, you know, that should be the one. And you straight-sex. Yeah, all you need is a winch and a hoist and get in there, man. Or a dog rain. I got a crane, I was able to build the new engine in the crate place, 3,200 pounds basically. I think the container itself probably weighs close to a thousand to be honest with you. So I'm not good. But yeah, the engine probably weighs over time. But I got a crane that can lift seven tons, so I'm fine as far as weight goes. I will need help at that point when I go to pull the old engine and put the new one in. But as was suggested last week when I pulled the engine, I should examine the clutch really good before I decide to put the new engine in, see if the clutch is good, because that's the time to work with them all. Yeah, you know what? You should just put a hole in the clutch in there no matter what. Unless it really looks good. You know, because it's the only time you're going to get a chance to do it. Hopefully it's the only time I have to tear this truck apart like this. Yeah, I'm sure when you do, you can get the other engine out and leave the transmission fitting. You might want to take the whole transmission in there, or you might want to take the whole transmission out with it. And then remove it and then put it on the other motor. I do not have another transmission. The old transmission is in the truck, right? Correct. That's all you're going to use. I'm talking about that transmission. What you want to do is, next thing you put a new questionnaire. Because you don't ever have to do that again. Right, well I'm sure we wouldn't want to do it again. I don't want to do it this time. You can do it again, just like you're putting it in, you know? Take it out and put it in again. So do that, make sure you get new clutch plates and make sure the idler bearing is good. Brand new, everything like that as well. Yeah, that's the point and that's in that point of the process I'm gonna need help to pull the engine and he'd help put the engine in so at that point I'm hoping to find a mechanic that get out here and Examine it and tell me because I don't know exactly what I'm looking at I mean I know I know what they look like, but I don't know what's good and what's bad I know you look for some wear on the pads basically kind of thing But I don't know enough to know whether it's good or not So at that point there will be several points where I'm going to have to have a mechanic out here to help me to somebody who knows what they're doing and that is one of them to examine the clutch. Well, yeah, somebody right. Yeah, I'm sure you got a new idler bearing matter what that's the bearing that pushes against the clutch and better off just replacing the clutch. Just do it. You know, you can hook up. You didn't look when you do the engine. I'm just saying No, otherwise you're gonna click there and throw out bearing. It's cheap and... Throw out bearing or idler bearing, we call it either, we call it the two things. But yeah. You want me to... Is that the same bearing or is that two bearings? I'm confused. No, no, no, no. It's just two different phrases and terms we use for the same bearing. Okay. So an idler bearing or a throw out bearing. But it's for a correct... Yeah. So you just want to make sure that's new. Don't stick that back in there. Make sure you got a new collection there. Just put a new collection, you'll be better off. You know? So... Well, I'm going to make some phone calls tomorrow because what I've done... First thing I did before I started carrying anything else apart with the engine, I pulled off the carburetor. Did a lot of... Again, I made a lot of videos since there were a lot of things hooked up to the carburetor. So I know what to... I pulled off the carburetor and... The carburetor is about the only thing that did not come with the new engine. And so, and I need to rebuild mine. It's going to have to be cleaned out. It's been sitting for 20 years. It'll be varnished up or whatever. I have to clear the clean out. So I'm going to buy a rebuild kit. I already found somebody locally who's going to rebuild the carburetor for me. It's a Holley carburetor. And it's a lot bigger than every other we've dealt with, of course. Is that a two barrel? I don't want a four barrel. Two? Two barrels? Two? Yeah. Two big. There's two ports going down into the intake manifold. Oh yeah, it's a big two barrel. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. That's an easy one to rebuild. Just get it done, yeah, and make sure it's good and clean and new and all that. And you're going to have to be spanking. Make sure it's adjusted right. You got to get on that. We'll show you how to adjust everything properly so that children can work. That's something else I'm gonna have to do eventually is probably hire a mechanic when I go to start it up To make sure I get my timing and everything right on this and the carburetor adjusted I'll probably have to have a mechanic off of that too. I'm looking at this I just pulled out since I just pulled out the radiator I'm looking at the front of the engine and I had to pull the fan blades off too to get this out of here And it's got I see a little Needle thingy a pointy a pointy piece of metal. There's got to be a timing indicator. I'm guessing Oh, I'm off the wall, on the flywheel there, on the flywheel on the front, yeah. And so I'm thinking, and I don't have a timing light anyway, so that's kind of the thing, I'm going to have to probably hire somebody to come out and help me with the dust and timing. Yeah, you have a mechanic to tune it up for you after that. You know, try and get some... Dust and timing, you set the carburetor. Greg, where that light point from is... Because not the flywheel that's the harmonic balancer at the front of the engine I qualify. Well, I qualify. Let's not the side dicker here. Okay. Yeah, the flight at the back of the engine No, I said why we all I'm nothing go housing gear and a clutch If I said flywheels, I meant to be safe hand blade. I've had to pull the fan blade off to get the radiator off Right. Yeah and that's like thing at the front of the engine is the A lot of these engines are internally balanced. Some are externally, but that's the harmonic balancer. And it will have marks on it, at least one groove, or maybe several timing marks. It's easy to set timing if you have a timing line. Or any mechanic should be able to do it pretty easily. No, I would. This is 1955. Oh yeah, you got points. Yeah, that's easy. Got set to dwell. It's already got the distributors already on it, so I don't have to worry about the points probably. But yeah, it will have to be timed. I did a lot. Actually, I did 100 or 200 back in the 70s and I was working as an auto mechanic. You know, I just got thinking about it. We had record service, everything off Interstate 80, you know, back when I was like 19 years old. And yeah, so I know how to do that crap. You just gotta have the right tools. You don't get a mechanic that can do it, no problem. It's not hard. As we're talking and I'm looking at the engine here I'm thinking to myself that because I have such a complete engine including fan belts and everything the fans on their fan belts are my balancer everything's not gonna be your engine I'm thinking the timing might already be set on it actually because got the distributor over the wall. Yeah, it could be actually It's got spark plugs. It's got one inch. It probably is set at least roughly But after it's running you'll want to double check it. Yes, and the carburetor will have to be adjusted as well. So there are those things, those things I don't know how to do. Although the service manuals I have, the manuals I have from the military, the technical manuals may tell me all that and I haven't looked at that part of it. I'm not to that point, so I haven't looked at that yet. Well, so maybe it'll go back to you myself. for setting the gap on the point. Yeah, you use your dealer gauge, the course gap, and then a globe gauge to set the real dwell timing. You'll also... We never use J-GIL, we never use J-GIL. We always use the bulk as well as the most accurate. The most accurate you can get. And you have to be able to do that. You have to crank it over with the spark plugs to be moved. You have to have your dwell meter hooked up right and all that. You have to have you all that stuff. And then of course RPM. Then once you start it and run it and then check it again, you double check. But the dwell meter is the most accurate form of setting points. And you want to set them as wide as they can be. So as they were, you don't need to tune up as soon or whatever, you know. So you have to look at the specifications for that, whatever that is. Yeah, I'm looking at I can see the fun engine knots from here and the rubber ball kind of thing and they're not broken or cracked so I don't know if those are good if I should just replace them. Yeah, just anything stick with them. No. Yeah, I agree. So OK, so I I have the car put it out and I got I'm going to have to work tomorrow. I'm going to order the rebuild kits and the guy that's doing it. Somebody I've known since I was a teenager and I think he probably knows how to do it. And anyway, so I'm gonna get that carburetor rebuilt, and because that's the only other thing I really have to rebuild for the actual engine. As far as I can see, there's nothing else I'm gonna have to get to rebuild, at least directly related to the engine. Just pulling this radiator, a couple of things happened when I pulled the radiator, and again, just right before I was still on the air, basically, it was not before I went on the air, I was actually physically pulling it out of the truck. When I opened up the valve at the bottom to drain the radiator, a tiny bit came out, a tiny little bit. It was like two drops. I was like, oh, okay, then is it dry? So, that's not good, I suppose. And how that means, that means I either got a leaky radiator or a block or something. But anyway, a crack in a block, which would certainly not be good. So I ended up, and then I started taking off the hose. I took off the upper radiator hose first, and the lower radiator hose was really hard to get to. And I even had to use a tool to yank the tube because it's like a two and a half inch hose here. And I had to get it off the clamp. Is the hose clamp with a screw or is it one of those hose clamps that are crimped on? No, they're screwed. There's stainless steel type modern clamps on there. Okay, well, it's a long screwdriver. No, no, that wouldn't work either either. Actually I used the, oh yeah, it's way down there. I had to use, there's no room. I had to use a quarter inch ratchet wrench actually. But anyway, the radiator was checked out, passed somewhere or another in 1995. It got a date on here. The milk group has dates on everything. The starter was rebuilt in 1970, the radiator was checked out in 1995, the carburetor was rebuilt in 1989, so the military, they do these record keeping things where it's right on the end and right on the component. But anyway, what happened was when I pulled that bottom hose, all of a sudden gushing, green liquid gushing everywhere. So, okay. In fact, when I pulled that hose and I scrambled to get a bucket under there with a funnel, because I had one ready, and the funnel plugged up. I don't know if the dirt came from inside the radiator or came from surrounding components because it was washing onto a power spring that had dirt on it, so it might not have been in the radiator. But it plugged up the Yeah, you need to take the radio and have it boiled out now that will Educate and get rid of the crud that's collected in the bottom of the radiator. Yeah But you need to have that done Right. I'll get also take the press there blast it back in that direction of the valve you opened up for the drain plug And that might help cool up a little bit. You really should take it like the man just said here. Have it cleaned out a little bit. It's been sitting for a while, you know? Yeah, I do have a, I know the radiator shop in Toledo where I can take it that worked on the radiator of my collar loader. So it won't be cheap. As long as there's nothing wrong with a radiator, then just some cleaning probably won't be very expensive. But that's probably something I should do. I got thinking about that when I, okay, so I at least have a plug drain. Whether or not I have a whole lot of crap in the building, I won't really know until I basically take it in and have somebody look at it. So anyway, the radiator might have to go in to be, be looked at at least, maybe worked on. And I'm looking at the rest of everything here and I think it's going to be a little more straightforward. I'm real worried about getting the exhaust, the bolts off the exhaust. I know that those bolts are usually the ones you have to burn off. The ones that where they hook up to the exhaust manifold. And I don't have a torch. So I'm going to have to probably, I do have a components for a torch, but I don't have a nice acetylene tank. And oxygen tanks got stolen some years ago. I may have to buy a torch. We'll see. I haven't tried to loosen those bolts yet. Over the last week, I've been spraying everything liberally with WD-40. Every little bolt and thing I could find that I might have to undo, I've been spraying everything with WD-40, let it soak, and I'm going back and hitting it again. So I'm hoping, and because already I've been finding a lot of bolts where it's like, I think I'm going to break them. I'm trying to get you something broken free. Just getting to where I get to the radiator itself I have these three-quarter inch bolts that I was really struggling with I said boy I'm not gonna have to eat these up for my I'm gonna get these off because they were done I was hitting with the wrench with a hammer trying to break them free And I finally they came but I'm sure I'm gonna encounter that every step of the way I'm gonna find a whole bunch of bolts that are not wanting to come out. Right? You're natural. Yeah, Greg You some you some blaster DP. I mean PB. It's called PB blaster Yeah, that's good Make sure you get on the other side work now a lot of times the whole the bolt hole Is drilled all the way through so hit on both sides and you just get your torch keep that thing up So all gets so hot if you got a torch that is and then hit it with some more of this stuff And it will be heated up. This is a trick I learned when you heat it up like that and then hit it again. It's gonna go whoosh You know like crazy just keep going till it stops wishing and just spray the heck out of it And then let it stretch for like 24 hours or you know for about half a day and then try it and Hit it some more, but the help that heat help pull it into the thread. It's amazing how it does that I don't know how it does it but it does get nice and hot get it and it goes whoosh not gonna catch on fire unless you got the flame going at the same time, but Yeah, it's kind of like vehicle fuel actually. It's not great that it gets in there It really helps and then it might save your bolts. Otherwise you gotta take the manifold in Have it have a dumb body machine shop. Well the manifold in the new engine has the studs already coming out of it So I'm good on that end of it. Oh, that's cool. Well, that's all right. I Got a V8. Yeah, okay Yeah, correct. The WD-40 will evaporate in just a few hours. So using some PB Blaster or another actual penetrating oil on those nuts and bolts is a much better idea. And another thing, if you can get to it in any way, if you can use a wire brush to brush off any rust scale, That'll reduce how much that the penetrating oil has to go through. Clean off any rust scale that you can and put real penetrating oil on there and like coil or anything or something like that and it will work much better. Let that sit and... Don't believe that it won't catch fire temporarily if you use the torch on those nuts too long, but warming up good after it's set a while. That will probably be able to save the bolts, but you might have to use a nut buster, a tool, so you can get a lot of places. That's possible if those nuts are too frozen. But use a decent penetrating oil and remove the less scale that you can. I'm not a splitter, one word, but basically you can cut the oil to nothing else. Yeah, it's got a little chisel in it with a loop that goes over a nut. It can clean through a... a rust frozen nut. I've had to use them numerous times in my working. But it's readily available too. You might. A lot of things that I see here, I don't just don't have the room to put that in there at all. No, there's no room. Sometimes there is. But you gotta have sometimes a muffler mender tool with a chisel. Or you're just gonna have to destroy it a little bit and you're gonna have to have the studs removed. Sometimes the stud will come out with the nut. You know, you don't really know how it's going to go. Well, you know, you just gotta like, you know, baby it. Keep going as best you can. You might have to cut it off with a cutting torch even. So. Let's see here. So anyway, I'm not sure what else to say at this point about all the stuff I'm doing here. It's just going to be, you know, hey, a crew who knew what they were doing could probably do this in a couple days. It's going to take me at least a couple weeks, I imagine. But I'll get it done. I just have to, and as each step of the way, okay, we're going to get this engine out. I'll probably have to pause just to order various parts anyway, just like I'm starting to order parts now. But I know the carburetor needs to be rebuilt, so I'm going to order that rebuild kit. I'm going to order a few other things and I'm hearing maybe I should just go ahead and order a throw out bearing or either bearing that somebody else called. Yeah, yeah, bearing. That bearing may be perfectly good, but it's just it's too cheap to really bother with. You should be able to get a new throw out bearing, which is what it's usually called. To go with the new cost. Also calling Eiler bearing though, it's Eiler. Anyway, that's the depth of the... Anyhow, you're right. Yeah, you should get one of those. Take it apart again. If that thing seizes up, it will destroy your clutch. Your new clutch. Anyway, the project's on the way. If you want to see the videos that I've done so far, go to the YouTube channel, Forbid TV with no space, just Forbid and then TV. Forbid with 2D. I have a total of three videos relating to the truck up there right now, the project. And I probably won't do another video until, I mean, visually, there's not, I mean, it's a lot of mechanical work that I'm mumbling with. And I'll always have a video of showing the crane pulling the old engine and then putting the new engine back in. But then it's another few days or two days for me, hooking everything back up. And there won't be much to see probably in a video until it comes time to tune it up and start it up. We'll see you then. There's a mouse I'm dealing with at the same time. In fact, I'm still waiting for a call back. I've still been trying to get tires for this thing. I'm pretty sure I did find some tires in Wisconsin for cheap, but I'm still trying to get that guy to answer me. Used ones that he's pulling off of his five ton truck. He's going with oversized tires, but they look in good shape and they got the wheels on them. I'm probably going with Super Singles. So far the prices I'm being seen I'm gonna spend $3,000 to replace the tires I have the 10 tires I have But I'm also gonna spend about the same amount of money to put on Super Singles If you look up these types of tires the Super Singles these tires new Like brand new tires the cheapest prices I've been finding is like $700 and that's just for the rubber And a per tire and this has if I go super singles and at this time six the $3,000 price that I got was for Replacing my military style tread tires the 10 tires that I have presently and then of course I'd have to Wrestle and put them on the rims and all that and they're split rims so they can be kind of dangerous, but I do know how to do it I just don't know this big is what I have is 11 20s 20s 20 inch rims and they're 11s The tires that I'm looking at, they have different metric name numbers on generally today, but they're 20 inch rims still, and it comes with the wheels that will fit my truck, they tell me. And for that, for those Super Singles, I'm looking at anywhere, the cheapest price I've seen on those right now is about $2500 plus shipping, and the more expensive price that I've seen is about $3500 for Super Singles with wheels. All ready air, all you got air in them, all ready to mount. And those are tubeless tires. The ones I have here right now are tube type with the split rims. So I don't know exactly, but I'm still looking at prices and I want to be able to get this thing on its feet of course, then it's going to take me a week to get tires. Shipping is going to be a probably a nightmare. It's probably going to cost me $500 shipping, depending where they come from. So it's because these tires weigh 300 pounds a piece. So it's like almost need a little crane to fuck them. I definitely gonna need tires. I'm gonna do a lot of other things too. And then I'll start investing in the brakes once I get the thing running, get it up on its feet. I'm parked on a hill where if I go backwards or forward, I'm going down a hill. I'm kind of at a cross in the hill right now. And so I'm gonna have to check out the brakes really well before I move it anywhere. Concrete blocks under in front of all and back of all the wheels and make sure it's... It can't roll down the hill because I roll forward about 10 feet. I'm going down a hill. If I roll backwards about three feet, I'm going down a hill. So I don't have much room to work with here. I got to get new batteries. I got to still try to pull those batteries off. The battery box is so corroded in there. It's rough to not be able to get the battery box out yet. So the battery is still in it. But that's a local thing. Got to get new batteries. And I got a new rag top for it. That's because it's basically a convertible if you take off the top. It's all I got a rag top for it. Not a new one. It's a salvaged one, but it's in good shape. And it's a vinyl one instead of a canvas. The one I have right now is canvas. It's just hanging there. That routed away quite a long time ago. New one I got is a vinyl. Of course, you get hard tops for them too nowadays. You can get these converging kits where you can put a hard top on it. I didn't go that route, at least not yet. Maybe someday, who knows? But those are more cosmetic things. The interior of the cab has mostly been open to the air and rain and water and squirrels and everything. It's been open to the tops and open for years. So other than this, now the dump truck does have a big part that extends over the cab, a protector, but it doesn't go over the whole cab. So it's water is definitely getting inside the truck. So I got to get that covered up. I got a spare here which is good but that's not going to help me when I need 10 tires. And I went to look yesterday at my Unimog and it's also 20 inch. And I need four new tires for that so I may end up using the four best tires off of this thing and putting them on my Unimog. Not sure yet. The tire itself, I'd have to take apart the wheels and mount the tires into them, into my wheels, because they aren't the same wheels. We're talking German Mercedes versus US Mack, so they're not quite compatible. But it's still 20-inch tires. Now, the ones that are on my Unimog are 10.5s, and these are 11s. I got looking under the fenders, and it looks like I have a little bit of clearance. I don't think I'd be worried about putting 11s on there. We'll see, but... I'm thinking it would be okay to put 11s on it. But anyway, that's going to be in the future. Once I get these wheels off and tires off of there, whether or not I can use any of them for the Unimog. Because I do need new tires on that thing too. They're rotted. In fact, when I drove it up from Texas, I drove that Unimog from Texas when I bought it up to Michigan. And one of the tires, a big chunk of it flew off. I had changed the tire on the road. One of the tires had a big chunk that actually flew off the tire. It's still held there, but there was a chunk almost the size of my fist that came off of that tire. So the tires are rotted. And now that was 20 years ago. You can imagine now, I'm not going to be able to go anywhere with that truck until I get those tires replaced on that particular truck. But anyway, OK, let's see where am I at here. It is nine more minutes ago. I am going to, the time I have left, I'm really going to have to do another video very soon, and I'm doing a lot of thinking in my mind, because I'm working about how I'm going to do this video. I'm very upset with the way I'm changing topics here. Energy policy in the United States is going. And then they're starting to call this an energy crisis and all this. and solar and wind and nuclear and coal and natural gas and diesel, all the ways that we, hydroelectric and geothermal, all the ways that we generate electricity today, the grid, is going to be extremely mismanaged here very soon. It's already being mismanaged, but it's going to get a lot, lot worse. We're going to have rolling blackouts in this country unless something is changing. The decomposer in chief, Biden, he is vowing to to shut down the fossil fuel industry, which is now caused. Part of the problem with the fuel prices is investors don't want to invest in this anymore from a president who is basically declared war on their industry. And so part of the problem is the investors and the money isn't flowing anymore to expand coal, natural gas. Those are the main ones, but biofuels. Biden is demonizing fossil fuels and we're going to need this. I don't know if you stop, but Ford rolled out their newest electric vehicle. They're doing an interview with them and talking about how much is it going to save you from the pump and getting away from fossil fuels and whatnot. One of the reporters was smart and asked, well, where does it get its power from? As had the grid and so they asked the mayor who is there with the unveiling, you know Well, where do you get your power from? It's 95% coal Yeah Well, and there's another Not only that your goods your sir. I won't have enough time to get into it Like I really want to get into it, but here's the problem part of the problem Electric cars you're talking you're listening to somebody right now Who has done electric cars since the 8th? I had four electric cars long before the Tesla came out. In fact, I had four electric cars before the EV1 came out. If you don't know what that is, I had four electric cars before the impact came out. And most of you don't even know what the hell I'm talking about at this point. But I've been doing electric cars for a long time. And electric cars are not the way to go. Now, that's, they sound strange coming from somebody like me, but the way Biden is doing it, the way Biden has declared MGM and Ford and all the major, majors are, yeah, we'll have all electric cars, whatever year. This is the long... This is not going to work. What they're doing with electric cars is not going to work. The key problem with electric cars is first of all, we're going to need an expanded grid. If we go with all electric cars on the road in this country, we need a grid that's 30% larger. We've got some background noise here. Craig, I'll take care of it. Never you. So we're looking at a 30% larger grid if we went all electric today. Electric cars. Things like this truck, things like heavy equipment, these are not electrifiable with our current technology to be practical. Battery technology is not advanced very much. We've had a lead acid battery for over 100 years, okay, and that hasn't really changed more than 100 years. Now the newer technology, the lithium iron phosphate batteries, for instance, or the lithium iron lithium, there's two different types of lithium batteries. One type is in which electric cars, one is for home systems or the lithium, iron, phosphate. These batteries are extremely, extremely finicky. I've been dealing with these now for a while. And not only that, but the rare earth minerals in them, the lithium, the cobalt, the nickel, there isn't, there's been studying done. Greenies are lying to you, by the way. They've been studying done showing that, well, to electrify the world like they say they're going to, there literally isn't enough lithium cobalt nickel in the ground to even do this. Same thing with the wind generators, the neobidium magnets or whatever it is, the magnetic materials to make the magnets out of. There's just not enough in the earth to be mined to do what these guys think they're going to do. Now here's... And countries that have most of that material, Craig? China and Russia, they don't like it right now. Yep. And okay, just mention China. Let me get this. This is a very key point that nobody's talking about. These greenies, the greenies are just, they're just all over the place. I'm all for alternative energy. I mean, I've been doing this for 40 years, but the way they're doing is going to be a total disaster. China right now is expanding their nuclear program at breakneck speed. The rest of the world is like in a limbo, where people don't like nuclear, because of all the lies about nuclear energy. China is able to get it done, because they don't have to listen to their people the same way most of the rest of the world has to listen to their people. But China is expanding their nuclear at breakneck speed. All of us, at the same time, they're selling us solar panels. Now, I know where this is headed. This is a national security issue. Not only that, China has been caught with their pants down. The transformers that are used in our grid, the big transformers, not the ones on top of the telephone pole, the ones at the edge of the city that are fenced in by an acre of a fence and a bunch of electronics, electrical stuff, those transformers, the big ones, they're made in South Korea and China. China has been caught with their pants down with malware installed in the transformers that they have sold to us. There's malware where they can go in and shut down a transformer or maybe do something worse to our transforms that we've sold that they've sold to us If that's not a national security issue, I don't know what it is, but nobody's talking about this This has been documented. You can look this up. They're selling us useless solar panels. I'm not useless, but they're sawing us pull panels that will not do anything what the greenies tell us and they're expanding the nuclear. They're going to be the world's leader in energy while we're sitting here with our thumb up our ass. Here's another thing the greenings aren't telling you when they compare with so all nucleus too expensive or solar is so cheap or wind is so cheap They're lying to you Here's what you do you find out what they're claiming. They're claiming. I'm gonna take an example small number So it's easier for you to understand I have a system here four kilowatts. I mean four thousand watts at peak performance They said oh, that's a four kilowatt system. No, it isn't It's only four kilowatts for about an hour of a day and only then if there's no clouds The rest of the time it's much less than 4 kilowatts. In fact, the first year you lose, I think it's like 4 or 5%. Year by year you lose some yield from those panels just because of aging of the panels. So the only time you ever get 4 kilowatts out of that system is on noon, on a sunny day with no clouds in the sky when the system is brand new. Year after year it degrades and most of the time, in fact roughly half the day, you get exactly 0 kilowatts out of that system. So they're claiming it's a four kilowatt system and they're using that number to compare it to other energy sources such as nuclear, coal, or something like this. Those other sources, they can run 24-7. Soar and wind too only put off their rated output at very limited times of the day or whatever with wind, but my wind machine is rated at 25 miles per hour. It's very rarely every 25 miles an hour here, but that's what it's rated at. 17.5 kilowatts. It only generates, usually it's less, way less than a thousand watts. It's usually generating. And it generates less at night. Wind, wind, wind can still blow at night, but a lot of times there is literally no wind at night. It's less wind at nighttime, there's daytime, just the way the air currents run around the earth. So this, the green's are lying to you. So you gotta understand what's going on here. Solar will not work, solar and wind will not work for our grid when we get rid of fossil fuels unless we have better batteries or some other form of energy storage whether it be pump, high drill, flywheels or whatever, capacitors. There's all sorts of things that are in the works supposedly but none of it, absolutely none of it will do what they're going to have to be required to do when we phase out fossil fuels. So to say we're going to phase off our fuels by the year, whatever, whatever, that's just not going to happen. Unless you're going to not only put up with exorbitant energy rates, electricity rates, but also have to deal with rolling blackouts. Because those solar panels put out exactly zero at night, but people use electricity at night, don't they? Okay, the wind might be doing something and you might be able to get something out of hydroelectric. Hydroelectric is probably the best source we have that is presently there that also stores energy. That's the only one that really stores energy. Because they can control the flow of water to let that dam, the water rise up. Now if you look at Lake Mead, boy, there'd be trouble over there. But if you slow the water flow down, you get less electricity when you're building up your capacity to generate more during peak loads. More electricity, because then you open up the floodgates, so to speak, and more water rushes through and you generate more electricity at a pretty quick reaction time. Solar and wind you have nothing nothing for reaction time unless you have batteries or some other storage method So we'd have nothing Absolutely nothing as do most other sources so I should have a dedicated whole hour to this because I could talk about this a long time because there's so much wrong with what's going on with our Grid that we're gonna be in deep trouble if we're going the way we're doing the greenies are trying to get us to go And now Biden just announced what last week now we can put 15% ethanol in our fuel. And that 10% ethanol is already destroying engines, destroying anything with a small carburetor, with a small engine with a carburetor, such as especially things you don't use very often, such as maybe a snowblower or a leaf blower or you want to have a shimmer, whatever. And so now all these two-stroke engines end up in landfill because it's so cheap to buy. The mist with a flint his clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me said we fought a revolution to secure our liberty We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny for future generations this legacy we gave In this the lake and home of the brave The freedoms we secured for you. We hoped you'd always keep the tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedom's gone your courage lost you're no more than a slave In this, the land of the free 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 It's a 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 harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevailed Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths. They've sworn and your daughters visit doctors So their children won't be born Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist for whence he came, his words were true, we are not free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the three? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report of our country. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. On and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest, north, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... And, of course, we are on satellite. We want to say hi to all of our friends out there in that neck of the woods, across the whole of the planet, literally the globe, especially our merchant marine. And, of course, we're also hearing us on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is... It is... Weapons Wednesday is the 29th of June. It is the 14th year of Open Obvious and Pissing in Your Face Fabian the Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a KA 2022 Old Earth Calendar. 2022 Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. And congratulations, the dance continues. It is Weapons Wednesday. uh... couple things real quickly we're talking about revolvers and wherever i see where the something pops up that's well not outrageous least reasonable uh... right now over at classic firearms dot com classic firearms dot com again classic firearms dot com when you get over there touch handguns we touch handguns go to revolvers you'll see revolvers pops up right there in the middle When you go to that there are two weapons that jump out of the scroll. There's a lot of the Cimarron guns They've been out there and they're always available the Cimarron single-action 22s are always available. So I don't need to mention those but There are two weapons one even as I was watching during the five to seven program They started people are buying them. They were getting eaten up one is the EAA Wind Decatur Alloy Frame DASA 38 Special in a 4 inch barrel, 6 shot. It is with black rubber slash pock mire type grips and it's $333. Not a great super super price but a reasonable price for a brand new revolver off the shelf. However, they only have one left. They sold a bunch while we were doing the program, matter of fact. But, above that, and I mentioned Taurus earlier, now I know this is only a 2 inch barrel, but they do have a Taurus 856 38 special 2 inch 6 round, so this is basically the K frame, for all practical purposes, in a snubby. 6 shot is pretty cool 38 special and it is $302.31 now I know that if they're available again there's a couple of the different Filipino knockoffs of the model 10 Smith and Wesson that have been coming in Rock Island is one of them I don't see those in the scroll and it looks like they're out of stock right now that's basically where both of these guns fit their K frames The one has got a very chunky, you know format to it both of them do actually because the others an undercover gun or a good, you know personal carry gun But as firearms go both of these are serviceable the EAA slash wendicator That particular gun in one form or another has actually been around from the same company out of Europe for nine sixty years They've made design changes. It's kind of like, you know, you could change the slide on a high point, but it's still a high point, okay? It's just the base model has been around. The Germans have been making these. They're actually a modular revolver, more so than most of the other handguns you'll ever run into. The Germans work, they integrate, everything does what it's supposed to do, but if you're taking it apart, You're going to find a lot of extra parts you wouldn't have expected because of the way that they built this gun and the design where it came from, its foundations. Even the barrel is a rather interesting configuration since it's a sleeve within a sleeve, a honed down straight barrel, but it has the appearance of obviously having a pole barrel with, you know, again, basically the Colt type silhouette on the front end of it. More of a Smith and Wesson knockoff, or maybe it would say closer to Charter Arms, because Charter Arms is a Smith and Wesson knockoff, as far as the basic idea. Interestingly enough, both the guns are in stock. There's plenty of the Taurus guns. Don't know how many. Don't have a clue. Don't control the inventory for classic firearms. However, now we get into, again, semi-autos. And there are a couple of things hanging around out there that are actually, again, not outrageously priced and decent if you're just looking for a tactical close-in defense gun. Now, I know a lot of people say, no, no, it's got to be certain class to be a combat personal defense weapon in the field. No, that's not true. That's not true. Taurus G3C, this is a pretty good example, some automatic pistol, 9mm, 312 round magazines. $253.20. Now, this is more of a casual carry, and yes, or even can be considered an undercover gun for its design. Okay. But the unit is very reliable. A lot of people I know have had these things. I've been playing with them for a little while. And the guns work. They're not nothing fancy about them. They're not brand, brand new. So again, they're not the in-vogue latest thing purchased. But right now, again, if you go over to classicfirearms.com, the Taurus G3C semi-automatic pistol, 9mm, with three 12-round magazines, and it's $253 and they are in stock. So definitely it's hard worthwhile. Go ahead, caller. Got one of those for my son for his birthday. He loves it. Yeah. Again, this is a good price. I think we paid $259 for it. Yeah, well, I think we got that from CDNN Sports, didn't you? That may be the case. Yeah. So again, this is where the price hovers for the time being. And it's kind of like the Walthers, the Creed's when they came out for the longest time they sat there at a good price and then they dried up. Okay. Right below this they've got the high points in 380. They do have the 380 in stock I wouldn't recommend it only because they're still not a Really great supply of 380 and it's still more expensive than 9 millimeter. There's no excuse for that That's just them ripping distance the system ripping us off is what it comes down to okay But 380 is a good round. If you got it, the biggest problem is you got to have ammo, then you're going to have to suffer with buying what's available. Find the cheapest price for ball, ammo, and go that way. Okay? There are a couple other pistols, of course. Yeah, they've got the AK pistols, the Glial pistols, the Velma pistols, and of course now the, you know, fill in the blank. Take your big AR, you know, whatever length pistol type gun you want. Don't go there. If you do, it's your side weapon. Something else you're doing is a side game. Because you can collect guns in America, and you should do that. But as far as for personal cash guns or carry guns, cash is in, you know, cache or cash, depending on who your sergeant was back in the day. It's cache. I'm going to have a cache here. I am going to take and cache my firearms and equipment in this location. You need cash, sir. Will, did I say cache? I'll never forget that response one time I heard it. What a yellow person tried to correct the guy who was giving you the glass. Anyway, 9mm high points about 170mm, they do have them in stock. But there are a few other pistols in the scroll if you look around that definitely might fit your needs. So you just want to make sure again that if you're looking, the Canix are still out there. Problem with the CanX is it's a roller coaster price. You've got one that's the CanX Met SFX, some kind of pistol. Now, let's see, 1820 round magazine, $524. However, if you roll through the scroll, you will find that there are a handful of other semi-automatic pistols on page one, I was on page two. Century Arms, Canik TP9SA, $360. Again, two 18 round magazines. My personal, where would I go right now if I was a young person? I don't have a whole lot of money, I'm trying to combat outfit. At this moment in time, all the pistols sitting here would either be a high point, or if you're looking for, you know, most of your needs met, your basic combat load, minimal basic combat load, Taurus, the G3C, semi-automatic pistol. 9mm, 3 12 round magazines right out of the box. Now immediately, as I've told you many times, I'd buy at least 4 more mags for that weapon. And because it's Taurus, I think I'd buy 6. Now, not putting down Taurus, but, you know, in fact, something's happening right now. There's been a couple of good articles, if you go over to the gun circles, about Brazil, because Brazil is backing off on their gun control. Oh, they're not giving away completely. They're still just as, you know, communist as they were, and they weren't like that before. But the the commies have run their run their gambit the you know number of people killed as higher than many many times higher in America So all of a sudden they have allowed America. They've allowed Brazilians to have guns You know so good people can put down the bad people well they did and right off the bat the the murder-death-kill statistic went down by 37% and the only change has been well everybody is getting guns or everybody is you know more people have guns But they're still doing all the BS crap we've seen with the commies before, so it's the old story, half a bucket of poison. But at least, well, some people can defend themselves now, even though everything is still lice and, and I mean, as in you got a big permission, etc., etc., and grovel, and the politico is going to expect to do all kinds of wicked things to you. Yes, somebody asked you, do they have a 40-cal? Yeah, they do. As a matter of fact, basically the same gun, the Taurus, G2C and they're running 245.56 and that's just a 10 round black or OD green. It's 40 cal. That's why it's a 10 round magazine. So again, yeah, if you're looking for a 40 and that's your what your units, you know, inventory is standardized on for 40 caliber pistols. then yeah, that would be another option. They're not a large gun, but again, for personal defense and close quarter defense guys, anything in a handgun will do. Now, I know most people be outraged when I say they're all gothic and start all kinds of, in one chat line or another, I'm sure all there would be feathers flying and blood would be spilled for my comment, but the bottom line is, the handgun is one of the most personal components of a shorter, maybe a knife. with regard to defense, especially in the field. But if you're looking to buy quantities and you're looking to try and standardize, you guys are going to have to make that choice within your own area of operation. Two years ago, we just said, buy a Walter Creed. We did. And they were cheap. They were reasonably priced. They're a good gun. And then they just disappeared. They're off the production now. I don't know. They're probably still being made. I shouldn't say that they're off production completely. but they're not out there like they were before and they started to creep up in price. So again, for those of you who bought them when they were reasonably priced, you made a hell of a deal. Congratulations. Now, another thing is with the high points, I've tried to get hold of the high point a couple of times in this last three, four weeks and I haven't been able, I haven't got any response. Now part of it is either either bury up your eyeballs or they've cut back because the biggest problem has been manpower, workers, okay? However, I did get one response from the email, I haven't even got a chance to go through it, noticed it before we started the two hour block. And so as it is, with the situation, try to find out about magazines, try to see what we can find out about production on magazines for the high point, where they are, what are they doing? Kind of give the you know, cuz the guys are pretty cool. You can actually deal with them quite readily So I'll see what I can do to See what we can do to track down a better deal if at all possible. Okay? Anyway Next real quick. I mentioned the CDNN Sports Over at CDNN Sports. They do have a couple of AR-15 magazine deals Strangely enough, be ready for this. Oh, it's the 30 round, 223H3 Black Window Magazine, Hera Arms, which means it's either Greek, and I'm suspecting Greek on this one. I saw these, and one of you guys sent me an email on them. No, Made in Germany! Fascinating, okay. These are a, it's called, it's the AR-15 30 round, 223H3 Black Window Magazine, Hera Arms. And even as I said that, go to the page that's the only problem with CDN Sports is it shows it on the main and you go to it and it's out of stock already. So for $899, they were on sale. They've kind of, yep, disappeared. Everybody grabbed those as quick as they saw them. And so I appreciate that. First of all to, hold on here, to Rich who sent me the email on that, got that during the hour break. I want to say thank you. I appreciate it. But unfortunately, Rick, You either bought them all or somebody that you knew bought them all because they're gone. Okay, since we did the program, the two-hour block. I'm looking at it right now, so they're gone. But there are other mags and see what kind of deals you can find. Another thing I will remind you is AR-10 magazines, if you're going to build an AR-10, you better be committing to an AR-10 mag and purchasing because remember, as I've said a million times, I don't have a problem with the AR-10. But there are no surplus magazines for the AR-10. Whatever you're going to do there, even the guys that are working here close on the 6.8 project, they're having to buy more mags for testing. And they're trying to buy a number of different mags. What they're going to do is once we have the 6.8 cartridge in hand with the 6.8 barrel, we're immediately first going to do a failed test. Obviously, we're going to see, okay, we'll make sure everything works right. But then we're going to test the number of different mags with the 6.8 to see how they respond. So we'll be ahead of the curve on that also. However, if you have a 7.62 by 51 NATO AR-10, then guess what? You're ready to go. You just need to pick out something and commit to it. That's all there is to it. And I think the biggest problem we got right now is, again, Other people are getting the idea that the AR-10 is going to be the way to go for the new wave to accommodate that round. FALs will stick in 762 by 51 NATO. HKs 762 by 51 NATO. M14s 762 by 51 NATO. I don't see any need to change that. And there's going to be more than sufficient inventory. Plus we've committed to billions of rounds of 762 NATO guys. I mean, we have a greater inventory than the government in country here with regard to 762 by 51 NATO. We actually remember build it. So whatever they get rid of, we rebuild, as brass has been available. And we also used everything that they've put out. We've consumed. Anyway, I hear a caller. Go ahead. Yeah, Mark, it's fluffy. I wanted to mention I saw on classicfurums.com website. at classicfarms.com I saw an upper for the AR-15 in 5.7 the FN round that uses the 50 round B90 magazines and it ejects through downward through the magwell. Yes, yeah that's been out there for a bit but they show that they have a stock. It was out of stock and they just recently got in A newer version that is still compatible with the old, but it's more updated and it is in stock as of this afternoon. 5.7 AR-15 upper. It's just the upper, right? That means that would be another caliber if somebody wanted... If you want to work with that one, guys, it's a hellacious round for what it is, for what it does. And... It comes with 150 wear and match. Well, and again, magazines are readily available. They're still out there and about. Okay, I'm looking for it. This is a classic firearms, right? Okay, is it, what's it listed on? Let me do it this way. Uh, safer way to do it is just put AR-15 complete upper. Well, these have been out, guys. These do not require an FFL, and it's everything to make the weapon operate. So, what you're looking at is a 5.7 FN round, capable AR-15 upper, and I'm looking to see, okay, show me what I'm looking for. Try to find it and see what they're offering here. And the advantage of this is, again, we're covering another caliber, but you don't have to worry about magazine compatibility because the magazine rides above. With the upper with the just like it would with any of the other weapons of this type So the quit again the magazine well becomes the dump now what a lot of people have done and I don't know if they're still offering it Some one company called the ar-57 ar-57 There we go. Yep again The one thing about this you could take a crappy AR mag Cut it so that you extend it beyond the magazine well But what you do is flare it and open it up. You do it with a metal one and you make a dump bag. And literally when you're firing the thing, because it's bottom ejecting, you leave no brass. Use the magazine well to lock in the upper body with the follower or the spring. Everything's taken out. You flare the metal bottom left and right. use that as the guide for the cloth bag that you make so that when the rounds are being dropped out of the weapon out of the bottom of the upper receiver they go right down into a catch bag and you've also recovered all your 5.7 brass for reloading. Something to think about there. So let's see if we pulls up this way. Well, you know what? Three times. This is a classic firearms. I'm looking at the white hill. Here we go. It finally is actually cooperating. I'm seeing it right here. Okay, and again, I don't know if they're carrying mags in classic, if they aren't, they should. But the big advantage here again is, it's a 5.7 is available right now. It's back, oh, well it says here for me, bummer, this product is out of stock. Uh oh. Sorry. It was available this afternoon. Oh, I believe it. No, no. I'm just saying, just showing me right now, bummer. It's out of stock already. So it does not surprise me. And I'll tell you why, because a lot of people have the five seven pistols, not the one that's, you know, for the PSA 90, uh, but have a five seven F N pistol of some kind. If this system works to any degree, This is a great way to, you basically have a light rifle that's in the same caliber, so it's like a handgun, saddle gun combination, like with the old Winchester lever action and pistol caliber, with a handgun in the same caliber. So it's not a bad idea. Also, it's a lot of firepower. Now, the big thing is magazines. And if you're going to invest, if you're going to buy that, because the PSA 90, we're not seeing much of anything on that out and about, even though it's been popular for a long time. But there are magazines from several different manufacturers available, so you can pick and choose depending upon how you feel or how your weapon feeds. And as I've said before, you might want to test to see which magazine works best with the particular weapon system that they've developed. Just something to think about there. So it is again a good solution. If it, keep an eye on it, I'd hawk that. If it comes back into stock, then it's something that you should take into consideration. Something that should be looked at. And it's definitely worthwhile. It's just the problem is, what we see there almost as quick as they get them, usually get them out. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Yeah, John here. Going back to your EAA Wind Decatur, my son picked one of those up with a, what, the two, two and a half inch barrel, snubby barrel. That is a small little revolver. Doesn't really fit my hand too well. My hand's a lot bigger. Yep. But I'll tell you what, very pleasant to shoot even with .357 Magnum loads. Surprisingly so. It's a decent little pistol. And I heard there were some issues with it when they first came out with the action locking up. I don't know. I think it was when you tried to go double action, it would lock up or single action, it would lock up. You had to send them back and get them fixed. But I'm guessing that that has been fixed. Although the trigger pull is pretty gritty on it right now. I don't know if that's something that's going to get worked in or not or if That's the way it is. You know what I mean? Well, one of the things about the German revolvers is that, like I said, they were more of a component gun. There are more parts to the weapon because of the restrictions that they had with manufacturing way back when, you know, after World War II and like even into the 60s. The basic design hasn't changed since the 60s. Of course, it used to be RG. That was the bane of, you know, it wasn't a Saturday night special, but everybody thought it was. But the RG guns are in the same category as far as the design idea. And this, to me, I've looked at the breakdown of them, and if you compare that to the RGs in 38 Special, you can see the family line. So they're not really designed to be. They're not smooth like a coal, and they're, you know, but they are, in fact, you know, it really pampers everybody if you're shooting a Taurus, because they do have a butter action. But as far as the basic German revolvers go, they perform pretty much, but what I understand is the ones that we've seen over the last 40, 50 years. They're good guns. They actually are service revolvers over there. It's a big deal that they had .38 special available for police departments because guys, all these .32 ACP pistols that you saw that came out over the last couple of decades came from all the police departments in Europe because they weren't carrying 9mm. They weren't carrying .38. They were carrying .32 ACP. for the longest time. They considered that because its population density still bark like a dog, does a good job when it chews up when it hits, but it won't go through four or five houses or a car or shoot two or three pedestrians after you shot the guy you were trying to put a bullet in. But 38 was a big deal, like nine millimeter, for those departments to move into. And it's not a bad little package. for the price. It's a little more expensive than some, but less expensive than most everything else out there. Problem is that while we were talking on the air during the Tura block, they sold most of them out, which I thought was rather interesting. Now, on to the 5.7 round you were mentioning reloading. When that first came out, I managed to snag an FN 5.7 pistol. I don't know how many rounds of ammunition and brass and projectiles I was going to reload it. And I got looking on the reloading forms and apparently you got to be real delicate with those cases because they're coated with like a polymer coating to ease in extraction. Yep. And you know it's not, don't throw them in a tumbler and think you're going to be doing them a favor because you won't. So that's a that's a precaution to take with those guys. Now I'm wondering... How many did you hear you still reloading it? Oh gosh, no, no, I I You know, I hate to admit it. I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with that pistol. I don't know why it just I was not accurate with it So I got rid of it and all of the projectiles and cases and reloading I got just covered about all put it on gunbroker and dumped it I had and I don't and I don't even want it again now my son picked up the river I think it was a river 5 7 That's a nice pistol and it's accurate. So Ruger's better in my opinion. Well again, remember the configuration for lock and delock as far as how those operating recoil or interactions take place determines how it's, obviously how it affects both grip and alignment with the shooter. This is something that again, Ruger Now a lot of the weapons that they worked, typically worked into the idea of accuracy is the priority, and shooter comfort is something that they've always worked into their guns. I don't care what, that's why their guns are so heavy, guys. I don't know about the XP 100, I really didn't mess with that that much, because you can make it whatever you want into it. You can convert that however you want. But the, even the, remember, even the Ruger, any of the Ruger Gamegetter, the 22, is anything like that in their pistols. They're very, very much, they sit right where they're supposed to in the hand. They're heavier, but by being heavier, they stay on target. There's shorter recovery time, simply because between the control and the weight, of the gun that you take advantage of, you're able to stay on that second shot follow-up or, again, as a target master pistol, five rounds, two seconds, or five rounds in 1.4 seconds. And the 5.7s, I can see that they take all their working knowledge and integrate it into the gun. Makes sense. Seriously. I think the round is fascinating. The big thing, as I said, when the ammunition shortage took place is buy all of what you can. because it is, number one, it's FN. An FN like HK will go right along with any gun ban or gun grab or hating on American gun owners. They'll work at whatever the government tells them to, they're a government money contractor. It's that simple. Not just here, but overseas the same way. So you're not going to see a whole lot of support from them. And in fact, if you'll notice, it was FN stock that disappeared first, and the aftermarket companies that were producing decent quality 5.7 ammo, they kept coming in in better quantities. And everybody scarfed that up. Anyway, it's an interesting little rifle. The rifle idea to me, for the price, if they get them back in stock, it's like the .300 Blackout. There's a lot of the .57 guns out there. The one nice thing is, if you put it in somebody's hands, if I were to take that rifle, guys, if you go look at the upper. You put somebody in a position where you point them down a hallway and you remind them you got 50 rounds or 60 rounds or whatever, depending on what mag you're using, on the roof. You don't have to reload, so just focus on putting the bullets down range. And that's especially critical when you have less experienced shooters, guys. This is why drums are kind of handy for, you know, the impromptu area defense where you have to hand out weapons. As long as you have worked all, you work with a drum to make sure it functions or that larger stick magazine like we see on the PS90, guess what? That's what you set the guy or girl down with. You're not necessarily going to be fighting first, but you give them one area of control and one lane of fire and it's like anything pops up that's identified as a threat, you shoot. And if you think you're not putting it down, just keep shooting. You'll tag him at some point, but again also don't stand here, just risk your life. You're going to do it until you run out of ammo, fall back, and move to your second position. Chances are you've done your job anyway. Nobody's coming down that corridor. Nobody's coming through that back door. Nobody's coming around through past that window again, not for a little bit. So again, lots of firepower. Bullet stings, really bad. and it's good for intermediate short-range work, which is where you know where that that's it's niche a couple things. Well, we had enough time real quick and you might be interested in this too special AR-15 hand guards carbine length assorted new Sold as is this is over at apex gun parts 695 a set. These are the traditional AR15, the CAR15 slash M4, car being the length, traditional foregrips. For a lot of your builds, that's all you need. Don't need to worry about M-lock or any kind of rail system forward. And for $6.95, these are over at apexgunparts.com. Apexgunparts.com. So heads up, I want to get that out, make sure before we, in effect, go and see what Apex has on sale. Look to see if there's anything else out there that floats your boat with their inventory. And then on to other things. Anything else, caller? No, that's about it. Oh, the lathe. My friend told me that you could probably get that on a decent trailer. Okay. Well, I'm working on that. We're moving in that direction soon. So I'm trying to work out where I think we're just going to go straight to you and then come straight back is what we're going to do. Well, if you do that, you'll have a place to spend the night and get some good food here. My wife's a good cook. Uh oh. Yeah, but that's your morning welcome, please. I'll tell you what that is. What's fascinating is, is it's been what, five weeks since we had that accident? Right and I've got the next wave of black and blue coming out and all the bump spots and it hurts. I mean it just you know, it's when you're when you're Moving around it hurts, you know, but it's all those things where it's nothing. It's not gonna you're gonna die But it's just like man. I really didn't need this. You know what I mean? Yeah, especially told me hey, you've got more black and blue marks coming up for she thought because we picked I picked mulberries She thought, how the hell did you get mulberries on your back and over there? You know, like lower down, right? Then she looked closer and said, oh, that's more of those things. So the real deep bruises are coming to the surface now. So, which I can feel them all the way down to the bone. Which, you kind of remind everybody, guys, I have to practice my own, my own, what I preach about. You know, you got to heal because if you don't heal, you're not going to be good to anybody. So everybody tries to rush it and can't do that all the time. I'll let Mike know to hang on to it, because he's, like I said, he's getting ready to shut everything down. Yep, on FCAO. And he might have more stuff in the garage he'd be willing to part with as far as tools and equipment like that. So I'll keep that in mind as well. So you got my contact info, just let me know what's going on. It's right in front of me right now. I'm out. Thank you, sir. Yes, Mike. And I mentioned Apex gun parts before I go any farther here. That was that those AR-15 foregrips for $6.95, $7.00, that's not a bad price. They're brand new, unissued, but they're mixed manufacturers. I assume they're poles. Somebody probably putting M rails on stuff or whatever, whatever pattern. And what they're doing is they're pulling off the AR15 four grips, the standard, and replacing them with whatever the latest of Vogue thing is. But if you want to lighten things up, if you're going to stick with the traditional pattern, $6.95 for a brand new set of four grip car 15 slash M4 carbine grips is a really good price. At the very least, I'd grab a few sets and put them in your AR15 spare parts pile because they just be really handy. If somebody has a breakage or something, you can replace the whole thing, top and bottom. They're matching shell sets, is what it's showing. But they do have different manufacturers, that's what you'll be getting. But the price is right. Anyway, couple other things here real quick on that note. In the more category, because there's all kinds of stuff that they have, you might want to go through optics and mounts over at... Again, 8packsgunparts.com, it's where you have a category called more. They have a variety of items in there, some of which I have mentioned many times in the past. So, let me point something out. Remember, my favorite is a 9-power utility scope, right? Well, they've got a Simmons, Deerfield, 3-9 power, 32, Uh, rifle scope, model... Hold on here, let me make sure I get this right. I'm gonna pull it up a little closer here. Come on, here we go. It should take me to your leader. There we are. Okay. Uh, rifle scope, model 21-012, and it says fair as is. If you're looking for a utility scope, and I know it says Simmons Deerfield sold individually, the magnification adjustment is shook, and will not rotate on these scopes. The tube has a 1 inch, 25.4 millimeter diameter, may show some signs of wear, marring, grime, etc. I don't know who had them, I don't know who used them, but if you're looking for a project scope, optics, $9.95 a piece is a very reasonable price. Mark, you just read the issue, well, the issues aren't that great, and by the way, if you're patient, There's a few tricks with regard to jimmying or unsticking, typically micro threads. And it's one of the most common problems you have with, especially scopes where they're overly tolerance, a little tighter than they should be in general. This is kind of like many other objects where it's a utility tool. You know, you back off just a hair with the specs and you'd be amazed at how much better it works. Simmons, nothing exciting, but it is a 3x9 power scope. Again, it's worth fiddling with if you want a little project scope or if you just want optics to look out there and see what's going on. The rectacle may not move, but the dial-up on the optics should. It depends, of course, on where you want to go with it. But for a simple, straightforward scope, in this case, just the dial-up, you know, the magnification adjustment is stuck. I'll be willing to bet I can make that work. And if you're patient, you could too. They just probably, again, if they have multiples of these, this is a government money thing. Or it was a project, it was a, probably a product trade-in, and these may have been something that was offered by Simmons. as a we don't bother turning them around because they're cheaper for us to crank more out from wherever they come from than it is to fix the ones that we get back. This is one of the big challenges with CB radios, why you had the PromBox CB radios years ago, but you don't see as many of them for that very reason. It's just cheaper for them to shelve them and sell them off to the market on the sly rather than do anything with them. Now another thing I've been looking for and I've been mentioning scope rings. Apex in the same section, which is you go to Apex where you go on the green line there it says more and then you want to go to optics, rings and mounts. They have a wide range of scope rings for a wide range of prices but they do have some less expensive, again, sim and the scope mounts in the package as little as $6.50. and as high but no more than $15. Now there's one, those are Weaver scope mounts for $15, but the Simmons are down under $12 apiece for the most part. And there's also Leopold and there's a few other carded fixture type scope mounts that you might want to take a look at. So go over to apexgunparts.com, apexgunparts.com. And when you do go through the scroll, remember there's multiple pages. Now they have had scope mounts for as little as $0.99 a set. I've run into them there, I've even bought them out. Okay, but take a look to see what it is that they have on the shelf. They have a number of other items that are utility for the kind of work that you're probably wanting to do if you're building up a scoped light rifle package. And that includes lens covers, you know, flip up covers, see-through covers with a flip up, take your pick. And they're already off the shelf and they do have them in stock. They're ready to go. So that is a solution, not just complaining about them around, well what do I do? Well, we're going to mildew, sir. Now, every time I go to this place, there is always something new that pops up. And the fixable scope for $9.95, I've got a pretty good idea. Now that I was looking at something else, I just saw this part of the write-up, somebody else making a comment. And it's like I said, just a little patience and those can be brought up and online. So for $9.95, they're definitely a worthwhile project scope for you to pedal with. However, they do have a lot of other products like that when you go through the scope section. Simmons, Deerfield. Here's the 3x9x32 Project Riflescope, model 21-012 in good condition, 24-95 comes with rings. And they do have a number of other items that are from Simmons, so it looks like they bought a package from Simmons. I'll bet you they bought a pallet. That's what they did. And in addition to that, a bunch of other Russian stuff I would mention and also former Warsaw Pact. There's a little bit of everything in there right now. And important is, again, in the optics, everything you need to hook it up to the system is there. So if you go through their fixtures and mounts and then look at the optics that they do have on hand, there are a number of different options there. So it's definitely worthwhile. You definitely want to check it out. That's apexgunparts.com. Okay, anyway, we got that done. All the other things in process right now. With most of the militia units, and by the way, there was a fairly large militia meeting north of Hillsdale this last weekend, Colonial Marine Militia, Militia at Large, Wolverine Militia Corps, an Ohio Militia Corps unit was up. They had about a hundred people with them. And one of the things that they were discussing is something we were just talking a little bit about with standardization. The basics don't have to be identical, but some things need to or should be worked in in consistency if at all possible. One of the things I point out is a lot of you guys have 50 caliber ammo cans. That's good. However, what I would recommend is either A, which is what I do is when I get tons and tons of ammo cans, and we haven't bought them for a while because we did buy a couple of truckloads a few years ago. But what I did is I sorted them out by what does it say on the outside. Rather than having to change the nomenclature, line the nomenclature up. There are 9 millimeter marked cams, 5.56, 7.62 by 51, and 50 caliber, just in the 50 caliber format can. And 30 caliber, it's just about as diversified except it does not have 50 caliber, but it does include other rounds or other munitions, including grenade fuses. If you recall, some of you bought the .50 caliber cans, you saw the collection that we had, and I did separate them for a reason. Most important is, again, with ammunition cans, it'd be a real good idea to make sure that everybody knows what's in that can. If you're going to be issuing ammunition out, if we're going to end up in a conflict, and we are, And we're going to be supporting different units. We need to be able to grab and go. That's the first rule, grab and go. I will remind you that we have to make sure that we are not betrayed by certain, you know, fifth column types that may show up, government personnel or foreign personnel. Otherwise, we might have that glorious experience that the Cuban patriots who went to, you know, free Cuba from Castro, remember the Bay of Pigs? Have any of you ever read of the account at the Bay of Pigs from the troop perspective, from the troops who landed? Now mind you, they were given armor, they had indirect fire weapons, they had automatic weapons of all class, they had 50s, Browning 30s. Here's the point, for some strange reason, when they were trying to grab ammo from the beachhead, and move it inland, well, cans that were marked for M230 caliber garands had carbine ammo in them. And the carbine ammo cans that were marked had garand ammo in them, purely an accident, of course, don't you know? No, it wasn't. That was a way to bollocks things up. By the time they were able to get the ammunition of where it was needed for the troops who were in dire straits, needless to say, that particular part of the action had failed. Fire proper planning prevents piss poor performance, but most important is overlapping operational security and operational understanding of your logistics system. Okay? Now, what this means is, I know it's time consuming, but in the event that we get into a mutual or cooperative environment, one of the things that's going to have to be done is to confirm outbound loading for munitions. You can't assume that if you got a can there, that it must be the right can. You are going to have to validate. And what do I mean by that? You're going to have to check. It's going to be a tedious process. But if you're moving material support from a rear area towards a front line contact, you want to make sure and confirm that what you need is going to where it needs to go. Now, progressively, the logistics train, the logistics system will work most of these bugs out. However, this is also what I've told you many times, if you do set up a system, you have to be consistent. Color coding will help, but color coding and nomenclature slash identifying information on the cams needs to be clearly available. But again, I just mentioned the Bay of Pigs scenario. We've already talked this through and I had this conversation with some of those people this last weekend on this very subject to remind them that if you are going to standardize and we're looking at two states cooperating here at least more actually because other people were linked up for the evening Saturday night evening interface that they did with other states. The whole idea is that we need to be looking at this now so we don't get caught flat-footed later. Now, here's what's really kind of cool. If someone were to do that, and in the age of the AR, we're going to be looking at 300 blackout, you're going to be looking at 5.56, you're going to be looking at 7.62 by 39 moving forward. If you were outfitted as a heavy Dragoon unit, the way we've been talking, and you have your combat kit and you've moved forward heavy because you don't know when you're going to be going home, and you don't know if there's going to be any resupply, consider this. If somebody were to try to monkey screw with a unit and they sent forward 7.62x39, what difference would it make if the unit had the ability by carrying additional 7.62x39 uppers as part of their backpack battle load? They would still be able to sustain, contact, and continue to fight. Ooh, that would kind of mess with things. In fact, again, remember we've talked about percentages. If you were sustaining a contact and you were in 556, but all of a sudden somebody shipped ammunition forward, and say standard 50 caliber ammo cans, you open the cans and it's all 762 by 39. What would you do? Well, I would withdraw a percentage of the unit if I knew that my unit was a Dragoon unit, which is how we establish everybody. I would have a percentage of the men switching over to 7.62 by 39, but I would remain, I would leave a certain percentage in 5.56 because I would stop contact with a percentage as they fall back or as they resupply from position, and then we would move sideways, the 5.56 ammunition still available. Why wait till you run out? In other words, you just have to coordinate supply and support in the forward, the absolute contact forward area. It can be done. It can be done. In fact, you need to be prepared to do this. So this is something you need to talk about. Just because somebody tried to fiddle screw with you doesn't mean that you can't, you know, jump over that. Another example of what would be difficult if somebody said 762 by 51 NATO ammunition and you're all running 556. So this is where a combined arms team situation is kind of handy, or at least auxiliary weapons moving with a unit, especially a Dragoon unit. Because the Dragoon formula is still the formula for what will typically be success. And this is where diversification of reserve technology forward in the forward area is going to compliment the situation. In other words, you really can't get caught flat-footed. And you would continue to sustain the battle and, of course, maintain contact without losing your stride, without failing, or in other words, without fumble-scoring in the process, which is what everybody is concerned with. So anyway, creative, be creative, think ahead. That's what we need to be, you know, we're looking at constantly, okay? The laser trap. I don't know about, well, again, Something else. Well, again, lasers. A little late, no, too late. Oh, so good question though. Somebody here off to the side just sent me a little blurb. With the laser technology, something to remember, it can be used for marking, it can be used for blinding, it can be used for a number of other projects. So lasers are kind of handy and there are different There's different potential with regard to more powerful lasers that are available over the counter. Okay? So we need to be thinking about that. Again, we're at the top. We are absolutely at the top right now. It is Weapons Wednesday coming to a close here for the intelligence report. For Craig, for Forbit Knowledge, conference with Clearest Show. Number two, please make time to go over. Give a bunch of thumbs up, make some comments, go watch, give it a thumbs up. Everybody can't do that, but also share the videos. Grab a couple of them, share them randomly. Just one more place. Just one up, one place. Y'all be ready for it. Square yourself away and you'll have a common attitude. That's what you need to make sure one day to the next. We're gonna get out of the way for now and we're taking over more LDR coming up. God bless. Bye bye.
