For future generations, this legacy we gave, in this, the land of the free, at home. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, at the grave, 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. Mission values can't be taught according to the... You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and... Given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and simply harm and keep our country. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit their children on the 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? Oh, sons of the rich. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great republic in each god given right. As Iowoki vanished in the midst of this, his words were true. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as sirens trampled each given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. 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? He called out from the grave. We are back. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, before I go any farther, oh ho ho, this is some special coffee Nancy made. Smell. I'm going to taste. The flavor of the coffee rolling around on the tongue. It is, of course, 50% of the espresso. Very fine, espresso. And of course a very high grade of creamer that one of our friends produces down the road with the cows by the way. He owns the farm, he owns the dairy and of course I had to have some of this because he just dropped them by so... Taste. Caffeole. Mondeux trapea. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the... Second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Carkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. North, east, west, and south. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on satellite. Want to say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. Know where your lifeboats are. Remember, the backstabbing Israelis are going to do something really wicked here pretty soon, if they haven't already, and they're just covering it up and waiting to throw it out there on the carpet. So pay attention and be safe. And we thank you again for your work. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Friday! Oh, it has been a beautiful Friday, and I'm inside. And it's a beautiful Friday, and I could be getting more done, but we have to do this. So, guess what? If you get a chance, get back outside. My pasty friends. The beautiful spring air. We had first the air from the north. Now we have some coming off Lake Erie, and it's where it's clean. where the air has been scrubbed. And now today, a beautiful bright day. It is, of course, Cinco Di Amo Day. This is the day when the señoras, se señorita, señoras, all of you will go to the gun shop and you will buy a pistola, or perhaps a rifle, or perhaps a shakar. But if you do, because it is Cinco Di Amo Day. Today is the day when you must buy ammunition. And if you are not celebrating it, there is something wrong with you. For today is payday, perhaps. Take some of your centavos, pesos, euros, maybe American gringo dollars and buy all the ammunition you can get your hands on. So anyway, it is Cinco Diemode! Aye, Chindo. So, and again that means it's the 10th of May. It is the 16th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K2024 old earth calendar. Give her an ole' she's got, Captain. 125%! She'll blow up any minute! Of course I'm lying, we actually can go 150, but that's okay. Makes everybody think, what did he say in the movie? I'm a miracle worker. Bloody hell. So anyway, that means it is the 16th year of Open Obvious, an anger-faced Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. Absolutely. Make no mistake about it, with what you saw yesterday and today in Congress, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. I cannot emphasize that enough. 2024, Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords, of course. So, what a beautiful day. Let's see, songs. I was trying to think of some new stuff we could put out there. Taking the old seas. Slow down, you're shooting too fast. You gotta make your ammo last. Kicking up the cobblestones. Shooting the commies and feeling in the notch and groovy. Especially if you have a K98 Mauser. If you have one of those beautiful Swiss K or M31s. Guess what? You know, notch and groove. Get it? Want to bring that up because you don't need to put optics on those rifles. But if you do, yeah, they're even more of a thing. They will, the performance will of course be fantastic. But there's a ton of these K-43s, or forgive me, the 31s coming in right now. And you're going all the way back to the earlier model and variants that are pre-1898 and OFSL, all the way through to the post-World War I models and variants, which they produced all through, actually, I think, what, up to, I think up to the 40s at least, maybe the, and I'm probably wrong, closer to the 50s. The Schmidt-Rubin straight pulls in whatever variant are heavier than SIN. He thought I was going to say something really great there for him. No, they're heavier than SIN. They really are. They're a beast rifle to carry. They are built like a brick doghouse. Most everything Swiss made during that, you know, the philosophy was they're going to pass it off to the next generation. Well, they did. And this stuff is just phenomenally engineered. The metallurgy was fantastic. There are stripper clips. Now most people don't realize this. I was buying them years ago and nobody thought about it because nobody wanted them. I used to go to the different wholesalers and they would always have cases, boxes of loose Schmidt-Rubin stripper clips. They're a little different. They were non-strategic material. They didn't make them out of metal. They do make a metal stripper clip and you can buy them with the stripper clip guides, but there is a non-strategic material guide stripper clip that was an ammo carrier mechanism and they were pennies. They weren't even pennies. I think I get ten for, you know, like five cents at one time. So we piled them up because he's, well, we got some at Rubens. I just don't have any, but somebody does. They'll take them. I took them with a bunch of other stuff. And, well, now there's so many of these Schmidt Rubens out there that, and because as you've seen those stripper clips and Mann-Lincher stripper clips and everything have gone stupid price, you can make money hand over fist on the accoutrements. I mean hand over fist. But if you're going to buy one of those Schmidt Rubens, there are still a few niches, a few holes, places where those stripper clips are actually cheap. And most people don't even realize they're there. Like I've said, a lot of these companies buy arms and ammunition and pieces and parts. And some of the stuff they get when they buy out a gun shop or a store are things they don't really normally carry. They're not interested in. They have a lot of them. They're going to throw them out. They've got a good price on them. They sell a few. They can pay for all. And then everything else is profit. Well, now those things have become goofy profit. OK? This is like World War II stuff. Now Vietnam stuff is going the same way so and again, it's far enough in the taillights We'd expect that the Schmidt Rubens one really cool thing about them if you get a chance to take a look at the rifle if one of your friends has one and you should familiarize yourself with the Schmidt Rubens straight pull rifle because there are a lot of them out there now they're in the 7.5 Swiss which is a 30 caliber load. Basically, its counterpart is a 7.62x51 NATO. There was a period of time when one company, and it was a precision machining company, so they did really good work, were actually re-chambering the Schmidt Rubens from the 7.5 to other cases. and because of the quality of the barrel is so phenomenal, the only thing you had to watch is that I believe that there was a short period when they were doing a stellite type liner for the barrels. If you're familiar with that, guys, you're not machining that. That was a very rare item. And these were Marksman's guns. There's a special whole history on those that they cropped up back in the early 80s. as surplus, but they're out there and it's more likely you'll probably see one of those nowadays. But 7.5 Swiss is out there as surplus a little bit and it's typically, everybody considers it match great ammunition, rightly so because the ammunition is, the Swiss don't do anything cheap. And the quality of their ammunition is phenomenal, okay? However, I would not shoot the military ball ammo. Once again, Mark will tell you to save it. You may want to grab a box, sandbag the gun, and find out where it prints with that ammunition so you can understand and relate to it. But if I was doing any regular shooting with a Schmidt Rubin for training to give people some live fire experience, I go to aimsurplus.com and pick up PPU 7.5 Swiss. It's as cheap as anything else out there that PPU makes. They do offer it both in ball and I have seen it in soft point. It's again an excellent solution. You shoot for a particular rifle, make sure you reload for that rifle and it's a lot easier to reload. Take the brass, mark the box for that rifle and keep shooting it out of that weapon and you'll get more life out of the reloaded brass. First rule, more shooting, less cost. Okay. The Schmidt Rubens though, take a look at the muzzle crown. Now this is something I've talked about a lot because most of your K98 Mausers, be they the Czech, Polish or German, and of course there's Spanish out there, a lot of Spanish. Right now there's some Spanish surplus showing up because that's coming from the Ethiopian hordes. The cache is there. Most of the Mauser types use what is a ball crown. Now what do I mean by that? Well if you're looking at it from the side, it looks like, if you look at the barrel, get up close, it looks like from the side like half a donut. In other words, cut half a donut, put that on the end of a tube, and that's what the crown looks like on the typical Mauser rifle. And the crown, or the half of the donut is cut on the inside circle there. That's where the rifling ends. Now what happens with most rifles no matter how hard you try and one of the reasons that people go off at all rifle It's not shooting. Well, you don't know anything about gunsmithing or you don't think about the guns So you're you know thinking that because it's got an issue that you can't fix it. You can back set your Crown in it very very quickly and bring and tighten that barrel right back up with whatever rifling is left in it Now, rifling is the other half of the formula, but a lot of the Euro guns, especially the K98s, have very deep lands and grooves. The Polish Mausers especially were good for that. Along with the Czechs, they were all competing against the K98 Mauser in Germany for marketing overseas. Well, the Schmidt Rubens weren't really marketer overseas. They were just making them for themselves. But if you look, they did a canted crown, and there's a reason for that, to reduce the possibility of wear and tear on the crown with cleaning of the weapon, because that's really, it's not the bullets that get you. It is the repeated cleaning which is necessary and was traditionally necessary for the last hundred years because of corrosive ammunition. Now because of this, most of these countries made crown protectors and they're still out there. You can still find them. Your SKS carbine and AKA if you got the Chinese or if you got the Romanian cleaning kit for the SKS or the Bulgarian. Have you looked to see how that cleaning kit works? You have a crown protector part of your cleaning kit that little module when you click take it apart remember part of it's the handle but part of it if you'll notice there's a hole and it's dimpled in a particular way and You actually have a little set of claws And if you look you can take that little cap that's only about what maybe an inch long Or, well, maybe not even 3-quarters of an inch. You have to double measure it again. But anyway, you put that on the end of the muzzle, you click it into place to the site. Congratulations. You now have a ramrod guide that takes the abuse instead of the crown of your rifle. Have you ever used that when you've cleaned your weapon? Well, here's a little hint. You should. Now, they make a variety, and I believe, and I was slightly in the microphone, I could be wrong. I think. that over at JGSales.com if you've got the Spanish Mausers or the M95 Steyr Strait Poles which are Austrian, Austro-Hungarian or anything like that there are a number of guides out there. They're wood handled. They actually look like a screwdriver handle, a very nice wooden screwdriver handle. They have a shaft hole in the middle. They also have a knuckle slash a lock point at the other end and this goes over the muzzle of the rifle. Once that little notch is parallel with the front sight, you just turn it sideways and that locks it onto the rifle. Very simple. And most important, is that the metals that were typically used are also softer, non-aggressive metals for the guides. So the cleaning rod, of course, the guide should be taking the abuse if it were to wear out. It's a penny item. It's a trinket item. The barrel is a significant component of the weapon, right? So you don't want to wear that down. So heads up, again, these are simple little tools that were built for most all the firearms out there. JG sales, the one that they have I think will fit the M95 but it'll also fit a lot of the other earlier mousers. Pre-98s especially, so you might want to experiment if you've got a bunch of Model 91s, Model 93s, Model 95s, etc., etc., etc. You might want to check that out because again, a lot of the Spanish M1916s are coming out right now that are basically Model 93. And the neat thing about these is that again, they're not looking too shabby. But let's protect them because they are as old as they are and they have seen some miles sometimes. You can of course fix the crown if you have to experiment, but you might not have to so let's protect it so it doesn't wear down. Go ahead, call her, jump in there please. Hey Mark, it's John from Kentucky. I use a, I think it's a 243 case cut in half in a 30 caliber. The neck fits right into the barrel, you know, and then the ramrod goes through the center of it. Over. Exactly. Because again, the brass, it will wear out, but the brass is not going to be abusive to the barrel. It's going to absorb and prevent any chafing or wear on the muzzle crown. And again, the price is right, what you're doing. And you can create them. Remember, just experiment with whatever case out there fits, break out your drill index, and match up accordingly for the hole for your ram rod, or for your cleaning rod. Forgive me. Go ahead. I just cut the case in half. I sacrifice one case. It's the cheapest and easiest. Put two on your cleaning box and forget about it. I'm out. Yep, exactly. Thank you. Again, well, improvise, adapt, and overcome. Good solution. I think one of the big things here again is the Swiss rifles actually do come with them in their kit and you might notice the for $10, this is, they're still a steal. Right now you can get the Swiss Army cleaning kits. They are, they have a black handle. It's actually a plastic handle. They're a very well constructed cleaning kit. They're built for 30 caliber because, oh that's right, the Schmidt Rubens are 30 caliber. So you can get a phenomenal cleaning kit that you wouldn't just use on the 30 caliber, you know, the K31s, but you can use it on all the rest of your 30 caliber weapons. So there's all kinds of neat solutions out there. All of them work. All of them are good. So take advantage of them while you can. And again, that's a simple solution there. The big thing is that when the brass wears out, take that piece of brass, throw it over into your scrap pile. Don't ever throw it away. And find yourself another piece, modify accordingly, and you're back in business. And so again, repeat, repeat, repeat. The one thing I brought the the other thing about the Stires is everybody has been asking me about this. So, you know, what do you think about them? They're heavy. I mean, I'm gonna tell you if you haven't picked up a That's the first thing everybody says when they've you know ordered one. I've noticed this. Oh, we're kind of heavy Well, yeah, they're an infantry rifle Remember they weren't concentrating on volume fire But you can get a great deal of volume fire going with a straight pull gun once you get used to it And what we say by straight pull, guys, you just grab the charging, you grab the bolt handle, pull straight to the rear. Once you've pulled it all the way to the rear, jam it forward with significant force. Next round is picked up, aim, boom. The Steyr straight pull works the same way, and right now there are a bunch of Steyr straight pulls in the full Gewehr, or long rifle. over at Royal Tiger imports. Now that's a totally different weapon from the, that's the Oscar Hungarian M95. That rifle had a number of developments just like the Schmidt-Rueben and it stayed in service for about the same period of time. In fact, even up until just a little bit ago, the reason you're seeing some of these that look like they've been in an arsenal, not in the desert in Ethiopia, or I should say the dry popcorn fart era of Ethiopia, is because there are still caches of these things around in Europe and they've been putting them out there. And actually, I think it's the Rent-A-Revolution companies. Up until the A90s, or actually back in the 90s, the Rent-A-Revolution companies were selling the Styrostrate bulls to African natives to defend themselves from the other tribes who bought AKs. Or they just bought the Stires because it was, they bought them because they were cheap. They probably got them for about anywhere from $3 to $7 a gun over-the-counter retail. But which is a big chunk of money for people who are dirt poor in Africa. But they also could get ammunition, where not all ammunition was available, for more modern guns. So the Steyr, the ammunition all coming in stripper clips, was purchased in big quantity and it was used as a local or tribal defense gun for quite some time. Still hanging around out there. Problem, they do require stripper clips if you want to use the mag. So when they lost the stripper clips, if they weren't paying attention, it's a single shot rifle. Other things about the Swiss Schmidt Ruben, it will reach comfortably with iron sights 1,000 yards. Comparatively speaking, it's as good as a many match grade Springfield you're going to run into or match grade M1A or M1 Garand as an average rifle. The performance on these things has been fantastic because first of all, they were well maintained by the population. They have a deep, they have had a deep Ordnance Support System for the Civilian Marksmanship End, which is what everybody is a part of. Everybody is supposed to be in the militia in Switzerland. And so these guns actually have been well maintained as either cash guns that were hidden away by the population. They're given to the people by the government. They're told to hide them so we can't find them. Oh, you thought that they hit him from the government because the government's going to come and confiscate him. No, the government gave him to him and told him that we'd better not be able to find these easily because when the other side shows up, they're going to want to try and steal them from us. So let's make sure we've got all the guns out where we need them, which is what they did. So that's why these things have never really fully been withdrawn. And you still see videos of a lot of the Swiss shooting the Schmitts on the range, the Schmitt Rubens on the range on a regular basis. with the younger adults firing and operating newer weapons that they've been issued. But usually if you see them on the range, they have a Schmidt, a .22 of some kind, and again the Ishiwet rifle that they have to qualify with. If not more, I mean they're doing the same thing we do. What I, somebody says, would you carry it if you, you know, to keep you alive? Well, yeah, I'm gonna tell you right now, the Schmidt-Rueben rifles that are out there, I'm sure I could probably take it, like I said, like the M14 to about 700 yards of the iron sights comfortably, 750, and the rifle's fully capable of it. I have not seen a bad one yet. I've not seen an abused Schmidt-Rueben. I've seen abused everything else, but because these all were held by the pasty-faced white people of Switzerland, you know, the white people took care of what they had and maintained it. It's just that simple. And so what you're seeing coming out are decent. Now, it's a bastard caliber. I'm going to say it's an orphan caliber. You're not going to find anybody carrying 7.5 Swiss. Nobody. But if you're an American Defense Force and you also like to collect guns, it's an effective weapon. You just need to buy dyes. Make sure you buy all the brass that can be reloaded you can. Go to AIM surplus, buy PPU, and buy a lot of it. But also watch for the Swiss 7.5 ammunition that pops out here and there and buy a case or two of it at a time. Usually a case. It's in the black milk carton cardboard containers.
