In PART ONE we get to know Rob and find out his origin story along with some of his collection favorites and goals. We delve into his collecting preferences and ask about everything in his realm, including the uniforms, and see how he feels about everything in ours.

We ask his MILSURP opinions on things like the Ross sights, South American arms, and the Trapdoor vs Snider Debate, and of course we do another HQ Speed Round! 

In PART TWO we get into the specific UK and Empire arms questions, his bread and butter. This part is the schooling, so sit back and learn! We go from the old Brown Bess, Bakers, and Brunswicks (the killer B's? No?) all the way up to the post World War 2 Lee-Enfields-- so that means Snider-Enfields, Martini-Henrys, and all of them LEEs.

This is a jammed packed show you will definitely LEARN something from or your money back!

We also get into the "Rim-lock controversy" to clear up any misinformation on what it is and why it occurs, (and if it exists...) and we have a great Mad Minute discussion and clear up some myths there, complete with a discussion on what was expected of a soldier and details of the actual tests of the day that Rob took and passed!

THE HQ has Reese from MILSURP MUNITIONS and Alex from STEINEL on to talk everything about MILSURP AMMUNITION --

FROM what's available & trending, what's hard to get/produce, and sharing some reloading procedures,

TO their own unique perspectives and opinions on starting/working at an ammo company-- crazy customers, pressure testing, scary mishaps & reloading injuries, and lots of other inside info from two folks doing the Lord's work and helping us all get all AMMO we need !  

Including an **HQ EXCLUSIVE** --Casto's ammo testing results revealed!! Don't shoot 'em until you hear this!

We also play an Ammunition inspired Trivia game, go over my old "9 steps for home reloading" doc, and hear some very cool future plans, including collaborations with PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Not spoiling it! 

Give it a listen, you'll definitely learn something new from these experts!

We are joined by a pair of Michaels to share how we prioritize purchases, what our old and new collecting goals are, and how we've all evolved as the collections have grown.

Joined by Tenacious Trilobite, Verda, Mark, & Dylan, the HQ holds another ROUNDTABLE discussion talking about these three topics today: "Weird" MILSURP , Funny & Interesting YouTube/Instagram channels, and Listener Mailbag Q&A. 

This crew was very busy the past month, so we also discuss our latest pickups... I think between the 6 of us we picked up over 25 items this MONTH.... 

And of course, we have a FEW MILSURP Trivia games as well!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: We do our best to research MULTIPLE SOURCES for everything we share as "facts" but even the most shared & rock solid MILSURP truths can be unproven or proven wrong we've learned! (See 'Backbone of the Wehrmacht') 

We've read the books, watched the documentaries, and rummaged through hundreds of ordnance reports and country docs to give you the consensus facts as best as we can!  But, as always, do your own research as well!

We've been busy jet setting around the world, but we are back! Sit back and enjoy some tales from abroad from K & I and our special guests, our pals Jake and Nick!

We get as much MILSURP in there as we can, but this show is a bit more loose with some great history and fun stories, along with talk of museums, what to eat, and all that good stuff.

Also, we had a joint summer vacation this year as we all met up in KC again for the MVACA Gun show, so we discuss everything about that, from the prices and where things are trending, to some funny Fudd-type things overheard and seen.

We also do Summer pickups, gun show better ideas, a 30 second flash game, and a whole lot of other stuff so give it a listen. 

We tried out a new 50-50 chance game with a brand new buzzer system, and here are the results, enjoy!

The next show will be our return from our Summer World Travels!

We thought this would be a fun way to teach and inform about some of the intriguing items and stories found in the MILSURP universe. By "COOL & Interesting MILSURP" we mean literally anything interesting, like a great history, or interesting features or unit markings, or an intriguing design story, or just simply it LOOKS F'IN COOL.

We've got some super rare & trials rifles, some items with amazing histories, some crazy designs you have to hear about, a few cool captures, and of course a number of Mausers, including the king of 'em all, a Tankgewehr!

We also sneak in a quick INTERESTING MILSURP Trivia, and finish strong with some rarely seen MILSURP you'll definitely learn something about.

We grabbed one of the BEST resources on the internet, World War Wisdom, to fill us in on everything there is about WW2 reenacting-- including things like RE history, the different types, signing up, gearing up and gear authenticity, finding a unit, rules and regulations, safety, firearms & blank firing, receiving & taking orders, tactics, shooting, dying & respawning, accidents, thieves, post-event parties, veterans, tanks & jeeps, explosives, grenades & mortars... you get it now, we get into it all! 

Plus we find out how our guest got started (*spoiler he was 8!) and we get some great advice on everything from finding a good group to where to grab the best gear to look the part.

We somehow talk about even more things, and kept the poor guy for about 3 hours, but we wanted to be thorough, so definitely give this one a listen, you will learn a lot and most likely want to give it a try!
