Talking Lead Podcast

AKA: Planes, Jackwagon Trains & Tanks!

We are back Lead Heads! The Talking Lead crew is fresh off the plane from our trip to Poland and the Czech Republic. This episode we recap our grand adventures touring the Pioneer Arms Corp factory, PA-KO Military Surplus facility and Excalibur Army.

Also joining the group is our host Mike Michalczuk owner of Pioneer Arms Corp. and the President of Firearms United, Tomasz Stepien.

Before we kick off the European Vacation, Lefty has to take care of some Jackwagons as the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train rolls in! We also announce another lucky recipient of a Defi Watch from the Talking Lead/Defi Watches/FLEOA 14 Watches for 14 Vets program.

Joining Lefty from Spikes Tactical is Kit Cope, Marketing Manager, and Cole LeLeux, General Manager, to talk about their controversial (to leftist) "Not Today ANTIFA" poster and all of the laughable snowflake reactions they received from it. But this being Spikes Tactical we also get in to some nitty-gritty gun and explosive talks. Spike-O-Myte is their new binary product that packs a whallop! The guys also talk about some new sub sonic rounds Spike's is working on, the .440 and .420 sub sonic rounds and more!

David gives us the low down on the new 10mm carbine from Hi Point and the new M30-P .30cal pistol from Inland.

In 1941, with the US being pulled into one of the greatest conflicts in world history, a division of General Motors was tasked to support the war effort.

The result was firearm history with Inland Manufacturing becoming one of the largest gun manufacturers in the US, producing nearly 3 million firearms in less than 5 years.

The most notable of Inland's firearm production was the .30 Caliber M1 carbine and the folding stock variant, the M1A1 Paratrooper model.

Christian "Chris" Schoppmeyer was many things to many people, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a federal marine law enforcement agent, a member of FLEOA, active in his town's politics, and a volunteer who helped many kids learn to love and respect the outdoors.

Chris was dedicated to his career, but first and foremost he was a family man. He loved fishing with his son Travis, 33, hunting with his daughter Erin, 27, walking with his golden retriever Shadow, going to baseball games, spending time as "Pop-pop" with his grandchildren, and sharing his life with Terri, his wife, along with his many other family members and friends.

Also during the trip and dedication events honoring Chris, we run into Brian with Benchmade Knives. Brian does not disappoint when he makes an appearance on the show. We talk about the newest line of knives and tools from Benchmade and the importance of learning how to use them.

Lanxang Tactical's owners fled the communist revolution of Laos and found their way to the states in the late 70's. They started with nothing, and now own their own machine shop, having worked as technicians and machinists in the aerospace industry for years. Their belief that a society can and should defend itself from a predatory and oppressive government is based in hard experience, and led them to begin the process of making superior firearms. The name Lanxang came about as a tribute to one of the owners' warrior heritage. It translates from Laotian as "one million elephants," a phrase that related the military dominance of the ancient kingdom. Naturally, they liked the elephant as a symbol and it looked damn good on the rifle. Lanxang is 100% American owned and operated, their products are designed, manufactured and assembled in Conyers, Georgia, USA.

SSG(RET) Paul Martinez former Army Ranger Sniper, Sniper Instructor, Author, Cattleman and Veterans Advocate drops by the "Leadquarters" to talk about his book When the Killer Man Comes: Eliminating Terrorists As a Special Operations Sniper

America has one force with the single mission of direct action to capture or kill the enemy. That force is the 75th Ranger Regiment. Staff Sergeant Paul Martinez was a Ranger Sniper with the 75th Rangers during the desperate fighting in Afghanistan in 2011 when the United States made the decision to try to withdraw from Afghanistan.

Paul Martinez was one of the deadliest snipers assigned to this unit, dubbed "Team Merrill," after the Marauders of World War II fame. Martinez and his fellow Rangers faced near-impossible odds taking on an enemy who knew they were coming and who employed every conceivable tactic to kill these Rangers. In When the Killer Man Comes, Martinez tells the harrowing true story of how he and his team hunted America's enemies in an operation that would have repercussions that are still felt today.
