So we get that right into the precision machine and hopefully when you pull the trigger it works. Yeah, that's not exactly the idea of the best first case scenario to start a solution. But the Air 180 on the other hand, the charging handle is on the side, not a separate folding piece of aluminum, it's on the Air 15. Same magazine, same internals, steel instead of aluminum. And this was critical in that Stoner understood basically what Stoner came up with, not exactly, but was in line with the idea of making a baby FNFAL. And it was really a very good design. It was adopted by other countries. It was sold here in the United States, but it did not catch on obviously at the Air 15 because the government was sponsoring the Air 15, so US tax dollars were being pumped. Uh oh, here the music was being pumped at the weapons. So that's really where the politics of the AR-18 or the AR-15 or the AR-180 they come about. Now in recent years, somebody, well not somebody, the AR-180 is now available in a modified form that now takes standard AR-15 magazines so you're ready, you've got the best of all worlds.

And we are back ladies and gentlemen. Good morning. It is old, that's right, Weapons Wednesday, but it's the 6th of May, year zero, last 2009. And as we know Barry, you know, the prez, those seven, everything, well you know, he's gone by so many names. You really can't count them all. We can't be sure of all of Barry's names. And so we need to be paying attention to that. But other things are going on today. Also, we have a series of state meetings. One of them is in Iowa with militia units there. And I will be finding out more about the decisions being made about a greater cooperation with Colonial Marine militia and Iowa state militia as far as the fact that they are in the same area of operation. Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, actually South Dakota and some of North Dakota are cooperating in that the colonial Marines real quick here have been organizing the first divisional strength formations. These are actual strength, you know, full force militia structured groups because one of the things that we have a problem with is cooperation as you go up through the tiers when you increase the number of people in the militia formation And it's happened over and over again. People think that they're just going to keep the original body, just blooming out, blooming out, blooming out. It becomes unmanageable. There are problems with command operations just in general as far as trying to organize. And this goes back to the old issue that in the Bible Moses had the same problem. He thought he could just manage everything and it doesn't work that way. You actually have to have sub-command structure. And regimental combat teams, battalions, companies, family units made up of platoons with many many different people who have known each other for years, that works. But you have to as you go up through the structure in command, you need another tier for management. Well, it turns out that the Divisional Strength Organization is possible right now. and because of the massive influx of people coming into the militia and organizing in the militia in the many different states, especially out west but all over the country right now. Virginia has done the same both. They've been having to do the same thing here. They're having to deal with it, making decisions about how to structure divisional strength formations. When you're looking at thousands and you're going to cooperate, you have to have communications mechanisms in place and administrative structure. Now, They're working on that today. We're going to talk more about that in the next couple days as I find out more about school and on. Virginia has a little different problem. Only because the number of different counties that are active with the traditional county structure of the Virginia militia, they are trying to decide how to deal with communications. Well, they're lucky they have in their backyard the hallmark mechanism in place. and they're going to be cooperating more with that. So we'll give you an update on that and how the meetings go. Virginia, West Virginia, and I understand that some of our friends from Kentucky will be participating in the discussion, the overall communications issues need to be dealt with. I'm not sure how many people from Kentucky. I'll find out more about that later. But a lot of new activity going on there and with old friends and new friends. and the big issue and the consistent questions and communications. We're trying to address that. We've been giving you ideas. We heard that yesterday. So just keep in mind, start thinking outside the box people. When you look at all the stuff you have available. Now the Deaton Handfest is coming up in two weekends. Not this weekend, it's next weekend out. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It is the MECA 4 radio. If you want to get to do something and pick up what you want, batteries, technology, whatever, get there. That's the place to go. Look up the Dayton Handfest. It's the Dayton O'Hara Arena. It's where you're going to be going. So, anyway, real quick, last point from the AR-15. The AR-15 and the AR-180 are pretty common for a lot of parts, but one of the things they do with the AR-180, guys, if you have the new one, the new AR-180, they change the location slightly for the magazine latch. Now this is critical because one of the things that happened is they allowed or they wanted the Air180 to be marketed, as it was marketed originally by Hermoite, to be non-compatible as far as the magazine goes so the people couldn't just grab a government mag and stick it in the rifle. So the magazines on the Air180 have a slightly different keeper latch system and that's not an accident, that was very much intentional, okay? Doesn't mean you can't make regular AR15 mags work if you have an AR180 and see all those models. But the new ones, somebody got smart here, they re-adjusted the mag glass, somebody forgot the industry about why they did it, that's a cool thing. And so now standard government AR15 mags and M16 mags will fit in the AR180s that are being sold. They're a simpler rifle, finishes more in line with what you see with the AR-15. The finish is good, but I would say that they came down just a notch in terms of quality of finish for what was originally done with the rifles. That's just the point I would make. Good weapons nonetheless, and certainly a service for rifles. Don't sell them, keep them. Remember, the basic finish rule, our friends up north, we have to put in so from Finland, guns are for buying, not for selling. especially in this day and age. Okay, unless you've got something that you really just want to cover the cost of something else like gas and you know it's going to an ally, that's okay. But just make sure that these weapons aren't lost in the system with some dude who's not going to perform when the time comes. We got too many other good people who are willing to stand the line and that need the proper tools in the toolbox. Okay, now on the note about the air 15. I'm not trying to get blowing on the air 15-8. Well, yeah, 3 degrees. There's a lot of them out there. Yes, I know, we kind of joke about it once in a while, but hey, it's a piece of junk that we say, but it's a really cool, workable piece of junk. Yeah, it does require a lot of maintenance. That's one problem. And as we said, defecate for each, but it works. Okay. And there's lots of them out there. Google have made lots of them, not because it's necessarily the best first choice in systems. But because it's the design they committed to. So they really have not stepped out of the sink. You go out of the line that they've taken and that's fine. However you look at it guys, lots of parts, lots of them laying around, something gets shot, you strip it for parts for your other rifle, something the other guys have, you take it from them, you'll know how to use it. So the cool thing is, if you're going to use the Air 15, you're not even going to have any problems picking up the M16 and running with the ball. Okay, so that's a good thing. You don't have to problem it. Anyway, here's something for all of you who have those AR15s. Cokes Distributing. C-O-P-E-A-P-S. Cokes Distributing. They have, and they got these in and I think they're really, really, really wanting to move them. What do you think? They got a bunch of them from a little warehouse here. The only ones that have these for this price right now is C Products AR15 30-round Teflon with green follower magazines or AR15 mags. $8.99 each. Again, hour and piece that year, that's the price. C Products, AR-15, 30 round Teflon with green follower AR-15 mags. $8.99 each. Now, $8.99 a piece of the hour mags, you know, the regular government mags, you're familiar with, everybody knows. You've got a nice, you've handled an immense government mag. or the standard air 15 metal bag you know what these are that's all there is to it you guys figure it out anyway telephone numbers 866-523-2673 866-523-2673 866-523-2673 the other 866 number is 775-9466 775-94 6.6. Their regular ground line numbers are 937, 692, 8372, that's 937, 692, 8372, and 937, 692, 8412, 937. 692-8412 and their web page is www.coatsdistributing.com. That's C-O-P-E-S-D-I-S-T-R-I-B-U-T-I-N-G.net. They also may have, pretty soon here, about two weeks south, may have a Bulgarian 30 round AK-74 mags. If you are looking for an AK-74 mag, and I know that everybody's stalling the beaches for those. COAPS is supposed to have those in inventory in about two weeks, and we'll see what happens. But that's COAPS Distributing, and it's COAPSdistributing.net, 866-523-2673. tell them that you heard about this on the Intel report. When you call them, in fact, do me a favor. At least check on them. This is one of the things you can do to help out everybody in general here at RN is call 866-523-2673 or 937-692-8372. Just let them know that you heard about it on the Intel report on the micro effect. That is a plus plus thing. This is a chance for you to stock up on more mags, and again, more mags are better. Your combat load for AR mags or for any FAL mags or G3 or H3, you don't say H3N91, or M14 should be about 22 mags at least. We're going, whoa, 22 mags, trust me, that won't be enough. You will wish you had more, but you can only carry so much. However, 22 mags is about everything. It doesn't mean you're all your best. You station them all over your equipment so that your load bearing gear distributes the weight so that you're not bogged down just in one area. You can reconfigure accordingly or you can restructure as you need to, grab them and reload the mag pouches in front of your vest or your load bearing gear or whatever you're using or your CIA bag. A lot of guys use a bag instead of just web gear if they're casual so to speak. Well, when you use up the mags, you may not have time to reload out of whatever stocks or inventories that you have, but if you're carrying spare loaded mags, all you do is shift out to your ready up pouches, closest to your hand, closest to the most accessible, and then you get on with the mission. See how that works? Parts of the movie they never show. They only show all the exciting parts. Nobody ever runs out of breath because everybody's had time to take about a 10 minute or 15 minute break in between all the running around. Yeah, especially after hours and hours and hours on end. That's not the way it really works. Weapons do run out of ammunition. Magazines do go empty and dry. And guess what? You're only carrying so much. So all this spray and play stuff, you better drop real quick. In fact, get that out of your mind. Drop Hollywood right away. Start thinking about accuracy over volume fire. Accuracy over volume fire. This is critical to your overall survival and winning. Okay? 500 missions do not constitute a hit. Now, another thing real quick on the Air 15. Find pin extractor and ejector and try to accumulate three extractors for your rifle. Try to progressively even even if you change one out because you think well, it's not quite performing perfectly Don't throw that extractor away. My god, that's a manufactured part people and it's not exactly replaceable So better any tractor if one breaks, you know that might have some problem and no extractor in a really sophisticated bolt-action rifle You know what I mean? Anyway, just giving you ideas. This is weapons Wednesday. We are going to go to the top of the hour here already. My goodness. You all wake up. You better not have been just laying there in bed listening to me this morning. You better have that cup of coffee in hand. You better have eating breakfast.
