My girlfriend and the love of my life is in the hospital with late-stage pancreatic cancer and sadly doesn't have long. (She's young at only 25) This channel has really been helping me getting through these tough times and especially all the Q@A's. I have even went back and re-watched a lot of them from last year and years before. Keep doing what you're doing Karl, because we appreciate you.
I am very sorry to hear about your girlfriend and I wish you both as much wonderful time as is possible together, and am beyond humbled to see you take the time to write such a kind message to me. Life is fragile, and even when there is no obvious "clock" like you two are facing, the reality is that it's there and we just ignore it. Sending my best, whatever that means.
Much love and respect from a fellow survivor! I am sure you have a support network if your own, but if there’s any time you feel like you need a sympathetic ear, I’m willing to help. I have been a caregiver and a patient both. Even if I’m in a treatment chair, I will try to help.
As a conservative/"soft libertarian", I'd like nothing more than support for firearms ownership to become a broadly bipartisan issue, and because of that, it warms my heart to see a passionate gun-owner of any political stripe - but especially so when that gun-owner is from parties and places that are typically more anti-gun. After all, the widespread "normalization" of responsible firearms ownership should be one of the most important long-term goals of the firearms community, and "lefties" who are passionate 2nd Amendment supporters can be - and are - pioneers, trailblazers, and emissaries of those efforts. That said, I'm more than happy to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with anyone of any political persuasion who is willing to passionately defend the 2nd Amendment rights for all law-abiding citizens, 'cause I'm happy to do the same.
I for one take a different opinion. I can’t trust leftist gun owners when they vilify Kyle Rittenhouse for breaking gun laws, and then they are deafeningly silent about the felon with a handgun that he shot. It just tells me they don’t believe in firearm rights and what they represent - they just want the opportunity to kill me so they can “progress” and get back to banning firearms. Felons shouldn’t own guns for the same reason they can’t vote - they are opposed to your society. When leftists are actively burning down businesses while they buy guns, it tells me they aren’t buying guns for tradition or any belief in rights. They are doing it for power. So no. I don’t accept that leftists can own guns until they stop burning flags and being against the society we both live in.
@@RavemastaJ burning a flag is one of the most basic things covered by the 1st amendment. if you consider burning a piece of cloth being against your society, let go of symbols and don't try to deny others their rights simply for disagreeing with what your symbol stands for. and you may say "love it or leave it" but with that logic, you'd still be a british colony or at the very least a slave-owning society governed by rich oligarchs (and only one of those things really changed, no points for guessing which) but to get back on point: how exactly are progressives/leftists opposed to your society?
Luca How are leftists opposed to my society? By burning buildings, looting, and committing street justice. There’s a process to things. When the tea was dumped in that harbor long ago, only one lock was broken, and it was replaced. The only people getting tarred and feathered were representatives of the King. It would’ve been a failed revolution if they did the same things “protesters” do today. And the current protests SHOULD fail. They are not representative of the country - they might as well be secessionists. I would prefer it if they just said that and did it.
@@RavemastaJ except the guy who was volunteering as a medic that had the handgun was not a felon. This has been corrected by multiple need agencies. The worst thing in his record was possession of a weapon while intoxicated, which obviously is stupid but is a misdemeanor crime is Wisconsin. He has no felonies and is legally allowed to possess firearms
April 1st 2021: “Well, so far the PS4’s performing better than we expected. Some mud got into the disc drive, causing a failure to extract. But not a lot got into those vents on the side and rear. When it’s not in use and actively sucking in air, it’s a pretty closed-up system that doesn’t let a lot of little pebbles and things into it. We’ll get it hosed down with some 99% alcohol, let it air dry, connect it up to power, and see how it’s doing.”
I'd say yellows and blues would be more visible to colorblind users, but each person's colorblindness is different. Personally, I can see reds mostly fine, but greens are where it tends to get really screwy. Best possible solution would be to have sights where the reticle color is infinitely tuneable through a computer, but I have no idea what the technological limitations of those would be. In any case, if you've got the money, you can grab a pair of Enchroma glasses or something like that.
I’m politically not “A” anything but I tend to lean left on most economic issues and I’m a veteran and avid weapon owner and shooter. I think it’s a failure of intelligence to solidly side with one of two sides on the wide range of issues facing us today.
Really glad to hear that we’re going to get some NSFUA-cam content in the future. The CETME build series was some of my favorite content on the channel!
I also agree, Old West Vignettes are some of my favorite content. There's so much history here in the Southwest, and the truth is constantly being ground under by pop culture. Kudos to you for digging through that dirt and finding those nuggets of truth.
For anyone looking to do a CA compliant WWSD with the official parts, Juggernaut Tactical makes an AR compliant kit that will drop in with no modification. The hard part would be finding someone out of state to install the kit, then have it shipped in. Bolt hold open ends up getting deleted, but that is the only kit I know of that works without having to modify the lower. The comments on "liberal" gun ownership are on point. I'm interested if there will be any shift in tolerance over then next few years though. In California I don't have a friend that hasn't had someone who was previously a "guns are the root of all evil and having one in the house is unimaginable" type come to them for recommendations and advise on what gun to buy and how to go about training. 2020 has been a weird year and I'm sure I don't need to say that.
Things have become too polarized, enough to make both sides fearful and paranoid to arm themselves, it may be wishful thinking for common ground to be found this early in the game.
I've been a liberal gun owner for over 30 years and started concealed carrying about 4 years ago (guess what that coincided with). You are not alone, in fact I think there is a large silent lib/indie gun owning community out there.
I know a number of liberal gun nuts. What none of them have ever been able to fully answer is how they can vote for someone who tells you they are going to take away your guns. Usually it is because they are not concerned with "those" guns (evil black guns).
As someone voting for Biden this year, I love guns and don't think any guns should be restricted. But other issues are more important to me than a possible gun restriction. Sadly with how US politics work, there are only 2 real choices, and if you don't agree fully with one party, you have to make compromises sadly.
@@jmpetersrn Easy: I don't vote on single issues. Also, if you're voting republican just because they make the right noises on guns, keep this in mind: some of the most consequential anti-gun laws have been passed under republican administrations. Creation of the ATF: Nixon Brady bill: originated under Reagan Machine gun ban: Reagan Assault weapon import ban: Bush 1 Bumpstock ban: Trump "Take the guns first and worry about due process later" (aka, red flag laws): Multiple republican governors with enthusiastic support from Trump.
Really love that you are doing the civil war era loading videos and just putting them on to other areas of the web. I enjoy learning about new loads and how to do it for my blackpowder firearms. Thank you! Also would love a 2 gun action cowboy match. I am from Wisconsin but I would travel to AZ for that!
Old west vignettes are awesome. I liked them so much I started watching Atuni-Shen who does a similar series on New Orleans history from Colonial days to Civil War to modern murder mystery and ghost stories.
Karl, just wanted to thank you for bringing Chelsea Wolfe to my attention. Been listening exclusively since your comment. Very powerful music. Thank you!
Socialist gun owner here - love your content and really appreciate your attempts to highlight the more marginalized aspects of firearms history and usage.
Where I think a lot of people have issues with precision rifles is finding loads for their rifle specifically. For a frame of reference with what's possible when you find a load, I have a Remington 740 30-06 from '58 and a lot of people will tell your they're inaccurate. I found the load it likes and it is a goofy load most people won't come across naturally but with a 125 grain I can shoot 3/4" groups all day with it, and it runs reliably. Two of the exact same gun in the exact same chambering can shoot differently with the exact same ammo. At the end of the day tailoring your load to your rifle is more important than brand of rifle. Optics also play a big role in how accurately you can shoot. They don't have any impact on mechanical accuracy but they're important for a shooter. There's a reason there's an adage in western hunting that goes something like "if you have $1000 to spend on a setup buy a $100 rifle and a $900 scope"
Some more prohibition era vignettes from the SW would be great. I live in northern VT and there's no shortage of interesting stories of rum runners being chased by Customs across the border, bar fights in line houses, gun fights etc.
The Old West videos are awesome. I've watched most if not all of them at least twice and they're my most forwarded video series to other people with similar interests
The broken glass is a nice touch, reminds me of my punk days... sometimes I miss drinking in abandoned houses all night :) But life is much more comfy now, and I still rock it out on the weekends LOL!
I liked the question about liberal gun owners. I’m very left wing in my political beliefs and of course also a gun owner. The whole reason I come over and watch Inrange, FW, C&rsenal is because it is apolitical and I can enjoy myself without getting into political discussion.
I love the idea of doing an intro on UA-cam but directing the viewer to other platforms for the "real stuff" for lack of a better term. Fantastic solution Karl! Not sure if it's an idea that you came up with or was the result of you and some friends bouncing ideas off each other but it strikes a perfect balance. I'm really interested to see how much of the viewership migrates over, my hunch is that you might be pleasantly surprised by the results. Good luck and keep up the fantastic work.
@@InrangeTv All it takes is the click of a mouse to navigate from intro to main content (though I'm sure even that would be too much for some). I'd love it if it allowed stuff like reloading, etc.
William H, you might not ever see this, but I'm in a similar boat as you - pretty left of center on most things except for 2A. You're not the only one, and I like Karl's answer too. Stand tall and be proud, friend.
William H, you're absolutely not alone. Karl hit the nail on the head: these sort of monolithic 'gun culture' and other 'movements'/groups are their for cultural reasons, not necessarily ethical/moral ones, and using one thing to advance their own agenda. Keep your head up bro.
I'd never thought of it from that aspect, but my EDC Opinel fits the bill as a pocket knife nobody is going to take from your pocket and use against you. Those lock open AND closed manually and take two hands to open fast.
So i'm probably the only person who watched WAN show and then this, and would get a kick out of watching LTT, Forgotten Weapons and InRange all on Float Plane right? I think Float Plane is super cool, i know it might not be the best fit because they do, understandably so, take a good portion of the revenue from my understanding. I kind of don't mind putting money there because i like supporting the creator and the platform itself. Anyway, another great Q&A, always look forward to listening to these while i sit back and relax, and like the, in my opinion at least, level headedness you bring to these discussions.
@@InrangeTv female vocalists ftw, I'll let you know after I've thoroughly immersed myself in her music and have a solid opinion. As a music fan it's always a treat to have a listen to someone else's favorites. Stay safe Karl, have a beer buddy
It is unfortunate (but not entirely unexpected) that I see so many comments & responses to those comments on this video completely miss what Karl said about being part of the firearms community, resistance from the community itself if you aren't a "typical" member, and how we can attempt to overcome that resistance. It should not matter that I think a cloud looks like a giraffe if you think that same cloud looks more like a flamingo. We both should understand and admit, fully and in earnest, that our right to defend ourselves applies to us all regardless of the shape of our clouds. To say it doesn't/shouldn't means you do not understand the importance of that right. To Karl: I appreciate that you do not dip into politics without reason, and I appreciate even more that you're a shining bastion of sanity and humanity in what is often a cesspit of firearms channels. Sincerely, thank you.
Thank you. I wanted to say something similar, but you did it better. Personally, I don't always agree with Karl, though I find his honesty and ... open minded position inspiring. Constitutional "rights" work best when all citizens can exercise them.
In regards to the edc knife in relation to the shivworks class I think it is relevant to note that carrying a knife (in general a small fixed blade ~2.75"-3.75") is a way to provide weapon retention and is a secondary lethal option when you're being smothered such as in the ecqc class environment. With the caveat that you need proper training with a knife. I have done martial arts seriously for 15 years. Striking, grappling, and a knife centered practice (Libre fighting). All of it doesn't matter if you never stress test it and you don't know your limitations and trade offs. Also remember your training artificialities. I tend to train in a lit room with comfy pants. Every so often my training partner and I put on our regular clothes and workout with minimal light and we make sure that everything we conceal is actually hidden. The biggest artificiality in ecqc is that everyone gets to look at your setup through the day and they obviously know that you're carrying through the altercation evolution so they immediately go to snatch your stuff and use it on you.
On the precision rifle question, i've seen a lot of people like the Howa APC rifles that are being offered in the US. A lot of more serious shooters like to run the Howa 1500 action in an MDT ESS chassis. Downside with the Howa is that you will need a new bottom metal to take AICS magazines, and you will have to modify AICS magazines to fit in the Howa 1500 action. I just picked up the Howa APC in 6.5 CM so i havent shot it yet, but what ruled out the Ruger precision rifle for me was the difficulty with lifting the bolt when it had to cock the firing pin. The RPR uses the same bolt as the Ruger American series of rifles and no amount of polishing the bolt cams on my Ruger American smoothed that out. The Howa instead has a farther bolt throw to open the action and cock the firing pin, while making it much easier to cock. Between the two actions, i much prefer the Howa. That said, Ruger does have a big advantage of being local (For US customers) so working with customer service is much easier. This helps you do strange things like call them up and request an AICS magwell for your rifle that has an AR magwell...
That was a great response to William H's question! While I'm a largely conservative sort of person, I think that the protection and advancement of our 2A rights is critically dependent upon our ability to welcome, encourage, and respect absolutely everyone who is interested in their rights. If liberals, conservatives, and the other political orientations could be largely unified behind 2A rights, then these random and looming threats would disappear, and the regular WWSD2020 rifle could be had in California. My Patreon support of the channel is an insanely high value for money.
Interesting take on a defensive knife I think a lot of people forget a weapon can be taken from you. Personally I do carry a folding knife easily accessible but it’s entirely because I use it for work about every 10-15 minutes. I used to be kind of obsessed with the idea of a ccw knife to back up my handgun but your thoughts on it definitely add to the reasons I already have not to at least on a regular basis.
I think there is a good possibility to escalate with a knife, it's safer to be beaten and get to go to a hospital than you pull out a knife and they respond with the intent to kill. If you were to be in a place to have to worry I'd go with cut resistant sleeves under your shirt before carrying a knife.
“Liberal” can mean so many things but, if it fits, the liberal gun owner/collector might want to check out the Socialist Rifle Association for a club in his/her area. They are dedicated to promoting gun ownership amongst the common person in America and, exactly like the NRA, have a lot of very nice people and a few wingnuts in their crowd.
Speaking of dry fire training, I use the KE Arms SLT-1 triggers for dry fire training regularly because they have a full trigger pull and operable safety with the hammer down. You can do target transitions, reloads, malfunctions, whatever you want. It's a potential of the design that is *never* picked up on...hopefully you'll see this and agree lol. (maybe i'll mention it over on the ol' patreon as well...)
Just adding a kydex fin onto the grip and making the muzzle device a break not a flash hider would make the WWSD 2020 CA compliant as a "featureless" rifle.
RE: EDC blade I absolutely do Not disagree. but..Opinel #7. Why? Utterly non tacticool. Super light. Requires 2 hands to open.. yet great for boxes, apples, summer sausage etc.. Plus dirt cheap.
I love your old west vignettes and my favourite western character is the irish australian Ned Kelly would you consider doing some vignettes on non American 1800s outlaws? I know this might be time consuming but i personally would love to see them
Fun fact about single tube/monocular-type NODs such as the PVS-14: You can use them with red dot optics, I.E. the Aimpoint M2/M68, independent of the weapon. If you focus your eyes juuuussst right, you'll have a red dot superimposed over your night vision view. For me, the dot was slightly left of zero (I'm right eye dominant, PVS-14's were over my left eye.) but it probably wasn't anything that couldn't be solved with a bit of Kentucky windage, especially at typical night vision ranges. Figured that one out one night while pulling security on a training exercise. Kinda a moot point since I also had a PEQ-15 with an IR laser mounted on my weapon, but hey, the more you know. (stars go here)
I'm red/green colour blind and I haven't had a particular problem with red dots since they're fairly monochromatic... I tend to have more of an issue seeing certain coloured targets against murky/low contrast backdrops, especially things like small yellow painted targets against grass where there are patches of sunlight... the coating on (cheapo) red dots might not be helping with that.
I actually was going to make a comment to suggest one of the yellow-dot sights being made by Trijicon or Holosun as an alternative to a blue dot, but after reading your comment I'm not so sure that would be a solution.
We should have dusted off the plans for the M3 grease gun 9mm conversions for the new SMG. Just weld 1913 rail on top and and covert to 9mm with a threaded barrel.
Hey Karl, I was just watching Ian's video on that electronically fired remmington and I thought of a question. Do you know of any experiments with light or lazer ignited ammunition? Could this be used in the development of caseless ammo? I would Imagine that a strong enough lazer diode would be able to keep burning through any fouling that might develop on the lense. Perhapse it would interfere with night vision systems? Curious to hear your thoughts, thanks.
Karl, in which video did you talk about the EZ QC class? It was a few years ago, and you spoke about it at some length (can't remember exactly how long). I've been looking for that video ever since, but cannot for the life of me find it!
Honestly, it's come up a few times. There are so many videos that I can't recall myself at this point. It's Southnarc ECQC, just fyi. I'm assuming that was autocorrect. :)
34:56 - well put Carl. For the questioner, I would say to stop worrying about everyone else's thoughts and opinions on your political leanings (and while you're at it, stop broadcasting them to others). Most people are so committed to their beliefs (particularly those who immediately think less of you/insult you because yours are different) that no amount of common-sense conversation can change them. Understand that once someone says something out loud, they will very rarely ever take it back/deviate from it. Most (I said most, not all) people are cowards who's frail egos won't allow them to admit they are wrong.
You already have a step to vibration weld the wwsd2020 halves together. Could you sandwich in a smaller molded bit to make it Cali compliant? I am not sure of their laws but i know they are funky.
With regards to the folding red-dot sight - Sod's Law suggests that when you really need it, it'll be stowed; and by the time you deploy it, you'll be a colander.
re: combat shirt, the old UK desert DPM UBACS had very thick padded sleeves as did the 1st gen MTP version, the latest MTP UBACS has much thinner sleeves and the breathable material on the chest is now MTP rather than green, very comfortable and a great improvement, very cheap on ebay.co.uk at the moment.
so for alternate AR calibers I would have thought a 6.5 grendel may have carried some interest when the steel case ammo was cheap and pretty good performance per $. maybe for more of a dmr or something with the extended range.
I think pink, yes, pink is one of the best colors for a dot sight. I may be misremembering but someone explained to me that it is the color that stands out the most to the human eye if it is being illuminated.
curious. i wonder if that's why some computer graphic defaults to bright pink / magenta when textures are missing. when you see pink you know you've mucked up somewhere.
Is there any reason not to buy "range toys" like a Mossberg shockwave?.....I have personally always wanted a short barreled pump 12 gauge....not for defense or any other reason than I think they look cool?...any reason to not indulge my inner 12 year old self?
Hi Karl! I was wondering if you had advice on working out, especially while social distancing. I've been wanting to get into a shape where i can maybe do a 2gun one day.
I like the vignettes, 2D history is much better than just out of the book. I wish my finances allowed me to see more historical sights in person. If your library is chaos cubbed like mine, mutiple book cases distributed about the house, could we at least get a random sample of one or two? Looking forward to the paper cartridges. I've done it for Civil War reenacting but mine are cringe worthy examples. Tips and tricks are appreciated.
Micki Free, from Shalamar?! j/k! Personally, I really enjoy the Old West Vignettes. I love learning about some of the lesser known personalities, and, stories from an era that's been so over-romanticized. I've also been enjoying your black powder videos.

Yeah, that could be an entire channel !
I agree !
I concur. The historical vignettes are my favorite.
Love them, too.
Agreed!!!
I often skip them at first but then come back to them days, weeks, months later because they are really interesting.

@@InrangeTv I'd worry about the library another time; the windows need some curtains 1st! LOL ; )
As a conservative/"soft libertarian", I'd like nothing more than support for firearms ownership to become a broadly bipartisan issue, and because of that, it warms my heart to see a passionate gun-owner of any political stripe - but especially so when that gun-owner is from parties and places that are typically more anti-gun.
After all, the widespread "normalization" of responsible firearms ownership should be one of the most important long-term goals of the firearms community, and "lefties" who are passionate 2nd Amendment supporters can be - and are - pioneers, trailblazers, and emissaries of those efforts.
That said, I'm more than happy to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with anyone of any political persuasion who is willing to passionately defend the 2nd Amendment rights for all law-abiding citizens, 'cause I'm happy to do the same.
I for one take a different opinion. I can’t trust leftist gun owners when they vilify Kyle Rittenhouse for breaking gun laws, and then they are deafeningly silent about the felon with a handgun that he shot. It just tells me they don’t believe in firearm rights and what they represent - they just want the opportunity to kill me so they can “progress” and get back to banning firearms. Felons shouldn’t own guns for the same reason they can’t vote - they are opposed to your society. When leftists are actively burning down businesses while they buy guns, it tells me they aren’t buying guns for tradition or any belief in rights. They are doing it for power. So no. I don’t accept that leftists can own guns until they stop burning flags and being against the society we both live in.
@@RavemastaJ burning a flag is one of the most basic things covered by the 1st amendment. if you consider burning a piece of cloth being against your society, let go of symbols and don't try to deny others their rights simply for disagreeing with what your symbol stands for. and you may say "love it or leave it" but with that logic, you'd still be a british colony or at the very least a slave-owning society governed by rich oligarchs (and only one of those things really changed, no points for guessing which)
but to get back on point: how exactly are progressives/leftists opposed to your society?
PDelaResha I didn’t say he didn’t. Again, the silence against felons burning buildings and carrying guns is deafening.
Luca
How are leftists opposed to my society? By burning buildings, looting, and committing street justice. There’s a process to things. When the tea was dumped in that harbor long ago, only one lock was broken, and it was replaced. The only people getting tarred and feathered were representatives of the King. It would’ve been a failed revolution if they did the same things “protesters” do today. And the current protests SHOULD fail. They are not representative of the country - they might as well be secessionists. I would prefer it if they just said that and did it.
@@RavemastaJ except the guy who was volunteering as a medic that had the handgun was not a felon. This has been corrected by multiple need agencies. The worst thing in his record was possession of a weapon while intoxicated, which obviously is stupid but is a misdemeanor crime is Wisconsin. He has no felonies and is legally allowed to possess firearms
April 1st 2021: “Well, so far the PS4’s performing better than we expected. Some mud got into the disc drive, causing a failure to extract. But not a lot got into those vents on the side and rear. When it’s not in use and actively sucking in air, it’s a pretty closed-up system that doesn’t let a lot of little pebbles and things into it. We’ll get it hosed down with some 99% alcohol, let it air dry, connect it up to power, and see how it’s doing.”
Holosun makes Gold Dot Sights which they claim work well for red/green colorblind individuals. I haven't used them personally, but they're an option.
I'd say yellows and blues would be more visible to colorblind users, but each person's colorblindness is different. Personally, I can see reds mostly fine, but greens are where it tends to get really screwy. Best possible solution would be to have sights where the reticle color is infinitely tuneable through a computer, but I have no idea what the technological limitations of those would be. In any case, if you've got the money, you can grab a pair of Enchroma glasses or something like that.
I’m politically not “A” anything but I tend to lean left on most economic issues and I’m a veteran and avid weapon owner and shooter. I think it’s a failure of intelligence to solidly side with one of two sides on the wide range of issues facing us today.
Ya, the major political parties don't really represent anyone.
@@IlIlllIllIlIIIll Personally, I am a fan of RCV for single seat elections. Although it could also be used for multi-seat elections.
your channel is literally "no gods - no masters" and i like it
So drink and be merry...
Hi
THE POWER REMAINS!!!!
Really glad to hear that we’re going to get some NSFUA-cam content in the future. The CETME build series was some of my favorite content on the channel!
Liking the backdrop for this one! I was half expecting a standoff with a gang of bounty hunters arriving on horseback to happen any moment.
I also agree, Old West Vignettes are some of my favorite content. There's so much history here in the Southwest, and the truth is constantly being ground under by pop culture. Kudos to you for digging through that dirt and finding those nuggets of truth.
For anyone looking to do a CA compliant WWSD with the official parts, Juggernaut Tactical makes an AR compliant kit that will drop in with no modification. The hard part would be finding someone out of state to install the kit, then have it shipped in. Bolt hold open ends up getting deleted, but that is the only kit I know of that works without having to modify the lower.
The comments on "liberal" gun ownership are on point. I'm interested if there will be any shift in tolerance over then next few years though. In California I don't have a friend that hasn't had someone who was previously a "guns are the root of all evil and having one in the house is unimaginable" type come to them for recommendations and advise on what gun to buy and how to go about training. 2020 has been a weird year and I'm sure I don't need to say that.
Things have become too polarized, enough to make both sides fearful and paranoid to arm themselves, it may be wishful thinking for common ground to be found this early in the game.
Couldn’t you just slap a kydex fin wrap on the pistol grip and go featureless?
I've been a liberal gun owner for over 30 years and started concealed carrying about 4 years ago (guess what that coincided with). You are not alone, in fact I think there is a large silent lib/indie gun owning community out there.
I know a number of liberal gun nuts. What none of them have ever been able to fully answer is how they can vote for someone who tells you they are going to take away your guns. Usually it is because they are not concerned with "those" guns (evil black guns).
@@Bender_B._Rodriguez Practically speaking, there are only two.
As someone voting for Biden this year, I love guns and don't think any guns should be restricted. But other issues are more important to me than a possible gun restriction. Sadly with how US politics work, there are only 2 real choices, and if you don't agree fully with one party, you have to make compromises sadly.
@@jmpetersrn Easy: I don't vote on single issues. Also, if you're voting republican just because they make the right noises on guns, keep this in mind: some of the most consequential anti-gun laws have been passed under republican administrations.
Creation of the ATF: Nixon
Brady bill: originated under Reagan
Machine gun ban: Reagan
Assault weapon import ban: Bush 1
Bumpstock ban: Trump
"Take the guns first and worry about due process later" (aka, red flag laws): Multiple republican governors with enthusiastic support from Trump.
I absolutely love the old west vignettes. I watch them all at least three or four times. please please more old west vignettes
Love what you have done with the place Karl...some new type of feng shui?
Same
That is what I would call CCP Feng Shui.
Really love that you are doing the civil war era loading videos and just putting them on to other areas of the web. I enjoy learning about new loads and how to do it for my blackpowder firearms.
Thank you!
Also would love a 2 gun action cowboy match. I am from Wisconsin but I would travel to AZ for that!
Now I'm definitely held to it since I was noticed!
Love the channel. Great mix of history, old guns, new guns, and beautiful southwest scenery. And the Old West Vignettes are awesome.
14:25 "why make a SKS into a DMR" is probably a question because some games (e.g. PUBG) push into this role.
In the movie Mad Max they used it as a dmr I would like to actually see how it would perform in real life compared to movies or video games
Because tapco and whoever makes those shitty scope mounts for the sks inspire people to waste their money
Oh please do continue the Old West Vignettes, they're very fascinating little snapshots and I love the way you deliver them
Thumbs up for Bass Reeves! Looking forward to that blend of the Old West and under publicized American history Karl!
Old west vignettes are awesome. I liked them so much I started watching Atuni-Shen who does a similar series on New Orleans history from Colonial days to Civil War to modern murder mystery and ghost stories.
Karl, just wanted to thank you for bringing Chelsea Wolfe to my attention. Been listening exclusively since your comment. Very powerful music. Thank you!
It's even more important than ever to keep channels like this alive.
Politics is like cable TV just because you picked one package over the other does not mean you love all the channels it plays.
I saw Chelsea in 2019 too. I am so glad I made time for that concert.
"We live in a society" has always been in reference to TP.
My initial internal reply to that was "Of course two ply, what kind of uncultured swine are you!"; but I'll take Karl's answer too.
Socialist gun owner here - love your content and really appreciate your attempts to highlight the more marginalized aspects of firearms history and usage.
Where I think a lot of people have issues with precision rifles is finding loads for their rifle specifically. For a frame of reference with what's possible when you find a load, I have a Remington 740 30-06 from '58 and a lot of people will tell your they're inaccurate. I found the load it likes and it is a goofy load most people won't come across naturally but with a 125 grain I can shoot 3/4" groups all day with it, and it runs reliably. Two of the exact same gun in the exact same chambering can shoot differently with the exact same ammo. At the end of the day tailoring your load to your rifle is more important than brand of rifle. Optics also play a big role in how accurately you can shoot. They don't have any impact on mechanical accuracy but they're important for a shooter. There's a reason there's an adage in western hunting that goes something like "if you have $1000 to spend on a setup buy a $100 rifle and a $900 scope"
Some more prohibition era vignettes from the SW would be great. I live in northern VT and there's no shortage of interesting stories of rum runners being chased by Customs across the border, bar fights in line houses, gun fights etc.
The Old West videos are awesome. I've watched most if not all of them at least twice and they're my most forwarded video series to other people with similar interests
The broken glass is a nice touch, reminds me of my punk days... sometimes I miss drinking in abandoned houses all night :) But life is much more comfy now, and I still rock it out on the weekends LOL!
I liked the question about liberal gun owners. I’m very left wing in my political beliefs and of course also a gun owner. The whole reason I come over and watch Inrange, FW, C&rsenal is because it is apolitical and I can enjoy myself without getting into political discussion.
I love the idea of doing an intro on UA-cam but directing the viewer to other platforms for the "real stuff" for lack of a better term. Fantastic solution Karl! Not sure if it's an idea that you came up with or was the result of you and some friends bouncing ideas off each other but it strikes a perfect balance. I'm really interested to see how much of the viewership migrates over, my hunch is that you might be pleasantly surprised by the results. Good luck and keep up the fantastic work.
Honestly, I've been trying to do that for years. It is always met with angry and failure. Maybe it'll work this time.
@@InrangeTv All it takes is the click of a mouse to navigate from intro to main content (though I'm sure even that would be too much for some). I'd love it if it allowed stuff like reloading, etc.
I can just imagine Ian and Karl using the Ouija to ask Stoner if he would approve of the WWSD gun.
William H, you might not ever see this, but I'm in a similar boat as you - pretty left of center on most things except for 2A.
You're not the only one, and I like Karl's answer too. Stand tall and be proud, friend.
You voting for Biden, the guy who's promising to take our guns away? How do you reconcile that?
William H, you're absolutely not alone. Karl hit the nail on the head: these sort of monolithic 'gun culture' and other 'movements'/groups are their for cultural reasons, not necessarily ethical/moral ones, and using one thing to advance their own agenda. Keep your head up bro.
I'd never thought of it from that aspect, but my EDC Opinel fits the bill as a pocket knife nobody is going to take from your pocket and use against you. Those lock open AND closed manually and take two hands to open fast.
Thanks for the amazing content
Thank you!
So i'm probably the only person who watched WAN show and then this, and would get a kick out of watching LTT, Forgotten Weapons and InRange all on Float Plane right? I think Float Plane is super cool, i know it might not be the best fit because they do, understandably so, take a good portion of the revenue from my understanding. I kind of don't mind putting money there because i like supporting the creator and the platform itself. Anyway, another great Q&A, always look forward to listening to these while i sit back and relax, and like the, in my opinion at least, level headedness you bring to these discussions.
Chelsea Wolfe! Thanks for the recommendation!
Hope you like it!
@@InrangeTv female vocalists ftw, I'll let you know after I've thoroughly immersed myself in her music and have a solid opinion. As a music fan it's always a treat to have a listen to someone else's favorites. Stay safe Karl, have a beer buddy
It is unfortunate (but not entirely unexpected) that I see so many comments & responses to those comments on this video completely miss what Karl said about being part of the firearms community, resistance from the community itself if you aren't a "typical" member, and how we can attempt to overcome that resistance.
It should not matter that I think a cloud looks like a giraffe if you think that same cloud looks more like a flamingo. We both should understand and admit, fully and in earnest, that our right to defend ourselves applies to us all regardless of the shape of our clouds. To say it doesn't/shouldn't means you do not understand the importance of that right.
To Karl: I appreciate that you do not dip into politics without reason, and I appreciate even more that you're a shining bastion of sanity and humanity in what is often a cesspit of firearms channels. Sincerely, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Thank you. I wanted to say something similar, but you did it better. Personally, I don't always agree with Karl, though I find his honesty and ... open minded position inspiring. Constitutional "rights" work best when all citizens can exercise them.
In regards to the edc knife in relation to the shivworks class I think it is relevant to note that carrying a knife (in general a small fixed blade ~2.75"-3.75") is a way to provide weapon retention and is a secondary lethal option when you're being smothered such as in the ecqc class environment.
With the caveat that you need proper training with a knife. I have done martial arts seriously for 15 years. Striking, grappling, and a knife centered practice (Libre fighting). All of it doesn't matter if you never stress test it and you don't know your limitations and trade offs.
Also remember your training artificialities. I tend to train in a lit room with comfy pants. Every so often my training partner and I put on our regular clothes and workout with minimal light and we make sure that everything we conceal is actually hidden.
The biggest artificiality in ecqc is that everyone gets to look at your setup through the day and they obviously know that you're carrying through the altercation evolution so they immediately go to snatch your stuff and use it on you.
Awesome. I’ll keep on Patreon, very good insight on the “regularity” of paid content creation not through UA-cam
On the precision rifle question, i've seen a lot of people like the Howa APC rifles that are being offered in the US. A lot of more serious shooters like to run the Howa 1500 action in an MDT ESS chassis. Downside with the Howa is that you will need a new bottom metal to take AICS magazines, and you will have to modify AICS magazines to fit in the Howa 1500 action.
I just picked up the Howa APC in 6.5 CM so i havent shot it yet, but what ruled out the Ruger precision rifle for me was the difficulty with lifting the bolt when it had to cock the firing pin. The RPR uses the same bolt as the Ruger American series of rifles and no amount of polishing the bolt cams on my Ruger American smoothed that out. The Howa instead has a farther bolt throw to open the action and cock the firing pin, while making it much easier to cock. Between the two actions, i much prefer the Howa.
That said, Ruger does have a big advantage of being local (For US customers) so working with customer service is much easier. This helps you do strange things like call them up and request an AICS magwell for your rifle that has an AR magwell...
One of the descendents of Bass Reeves is in a single action revolver group on fb I’m in. He has some of Bass’s stuff including one of his colt saa’s.
The Billy the Kid comment reminds me of the old adage, "Never meet your heroes."
That was a great response to William H's question! While I'm a largely conservative sort of person, I think that the protection and advancement of our 2A rights is critically dependent upon our ability to welcome, encourage, and respect absolutely everyone who is interested in their rights. If liberals, conservatives, and the other political orientations could be largely unified behind 2A rights, then these random and looming threats would disappear, and the regular WWSD2020 rifle could be had in California. My Patreon support of the channel is an insanely high value for money.
Man. This sound version of Karl is really good to fall asleep to. very soothing! :)
Karl I love the way u answer the questions straight to the point. One take.. at a boy 👍🏼👍🏼
Interesting take on a defensive knife I think a lot of people forget a weapon can be taken from you. Personally I do carry a folding knife easily accessible but it’s entirely because I use it for work about every 10-15 minutes. I used to be kind of obsessed with the idea of a ccw knife to back up my handgun but your thoughts on it definitely add to the reasons I already have not to at least on a regular basis.
I think there is a good possibility to escalate with a knife, it's safer to be beaten and get to go to a hospital than you pull out a knife and they respond with the intent to kill. If you were to be in a place to have to worry I'd go with cut resistant sleeves under your shirt before carrying a knife.
WOW. Can't believe you're into Chelsea Wolfe that's sick!!!
“Liberal” can mean so many things but, if it fits, the liberal gun owner/collector might want to check out the Socialist Rifle Association for a club in his/her area. They are dedicated to promoting gun ownership amongst the common person in America and, exactly like the NRA, have a lot of very nice people and a few wingnuts in their crowd.
William, I am with you!
Speaking of dry fire training, I use the KE Arms SLT-1 triggers for dry fire training regularly because they have a full trigger pull and operable safety with the hammer down. You can do target transitions, reloads, malfunctions, whatever you want. It's a potential of the design that is *never* picked up on...hopefully you'll see this and agree lol. (maybe i'll mention it over on the ol' patreon as well...)
Thank you for this video Karl.
Love what you did with your living Room! You & Ian should have an HGTV show : ) on gun and minimalist home renovations
Just adding a kydex fin onto the grip and making the muzzle device a break not a flash hider would make the WWSD 2020 CA compliant as a "featureless" rifle.
I LLLOOOOVVVEEEE old west vignettes!!!
RE: EDC blade I absolutely do Not disagree. but..Opinel #7. Why? Utterly non tacticool. Super light. Requires 2 hands to open.. yet great for boxes, apples, summer sausage etc.. Plus dirt cheap.
I love your old west vignettes and my favourite western character is the irish australian Ned Kelly would you consider doing some vignettes on non American 1800s outlaws? I know this might be time consuming but i personally would love to see them
For TH Holosun makes a gold dot sight as well that might be useful.
Have a holosun 403 gold dot, would recommend it
There is a Trijicon RMR with a gold reticle as well. I have two of the green ones that I like very much and work with my lousy vision
I actually just started playing Wasteland 2. Very interesting game.
I did the same. In preparation for Wasteland 3 ;)
RANGER!!!!
Thank you Karl
Fun fact about single tube/monocular-type NODs such as the PVS-14: You can use them with red dot optics, I.E. the Aimpoint M2/M68, independent of the weapon.
If you focus your eyes juuuussst right, you'll have a red dot superimposed over your night vision view. For me, the dot was slightly left of zero (I'm right eye dominant, PVS-14's were over my left eye.) but it probably wasn't anything that couldn't be solved with a bit of Kentucky windage, especially at typical night vision ranges.
Figured that one out one night while pulling security on a training exercise. Kinda a moot point since I also had a PEQ-15 with an IR laser mounted on my weapon, but hey, the more you know. (stars go here)
An organized library means just one thing, time for more books!
I'm new(ish) to the channel but I'll add my two-cents worth; I enjoy the vignettes. Love me some Old West.
I'm red/green colour blind and I haven't had a particular problem with red dots since they're fairly monochromatic... I tend to have more of an issue seeing certain coloured targets against murky/low contrast backdrops, especially things like small yellow painted targets against grass where there are patches of sunlight... the coating on (cheapo) red dots might not be helping with that.
I actually was going to make a comment to suggest one of the yellow-dot sights being made by Trijicon or Holosun as an alternative to a blue dot, but after reading your comment I'm not so sure that would be a solution.
@@DesertDuc not everyone's colour blindness is exactly the same, and I can't say I've tried a yellow dot either. Might still be worth a try!
Love this video setting!
We should have dusted off the plans for the M3 grease gun 9mm conversions for the new SMG. Just weld 1913 rail on top and and covert to 9mm with a threaded barrel.
Hey Karl,
I was just watching Ian's video on that electronically fired remmington and I thought of a question.
Do you know of any experiments with light or lazer ignited ammunition?
Could this be used in the development of caseless ammo?
I would Imagine that a strong enough lazer diode would be able to keep burning through any fouling that might develop on the lense. Perhapse it would interfere with night vision systems?
Curious to hear your thoughts, thanks.
Karl pushes broken glass ASMR
Karl, in which video did you talk about the EZ QC class? It was a few years ago, and you spoke about it at some length (can't remember exactly how long). I've been looking for that video ever since, but cannot for the life of me find it!
Honestly, it's come up a few times. There are so many videos that I can't recall myself at this point. It's Southnarc ECQC, just fyi. I'm assuming that was autocorrect. :)
34:56 - well put Carl. For the questioner, I would say to stop worrying about everyone else's thoughts and opinions on your political leanings (and while you're at it, stop broadcasting them to others). Most people are so committed to their beliefs (particularly those who immediately think less of you/insult you because yours are different) that no amount of common-sense conversation can change them. Understand that once someone says something out loud, they will very rarely ever take it back/deviate from it. Most (I said most, not all) people are cowards who's frail egos won't allow them to admit they are wrong.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is very real.
@@antonioarroyas7662 Especially with people who learn psychological diagnosis via the media, and then throw them around casually in comment sections.
Love what you've done to the place. Rustic.
Best concert? For me it was Tangerine Dream, Mesa Amphitheatre, Mesa, AZ, 1986.
I love the old west vignettes. I watch every one.
You already have a step to vibration weld the wwsd2020 halves together. Could you sandwich in a smaller molded bit to make it Cali compliant? I am not sure of their laws but i know they are funky.
Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly enjoy this channel even more than I already do, Karl says he likes Chelsea Wolfe.
With regards to the folding red-dot sight - Sod's Law suggests that when you really need it, it'll be stowed; and by the time you deploy it, you'll be a colander.
15:20 you should call the two gun Halloween match "2 gun PUMP KILLIN MATCH"👍
The shotgun+pistol match sounds really fun. I wish I could get out there to join or have stuff like that near me
re: combat shirt, the old UK desert DPM UBACS had very thick padded sleeves as did the 1st gen MTP version, the latest MTP UBACS has much thinner sleeves and the breathable material on the chest is now MTP rather than green, very comfortable and a great improvement, very cheap on ebay.co.uk at the moment.
I will make a dedicated effort to watch the old west vignettes. The ones I’ve watched have been excellent.
i appreciate your vignettes
I am one of those rare people who owns and would shoot 19th century guns in your match, I just wish I wasn't 1,500 miles away.
Very good as it always is
Thanks Karl!
so for alternate AR calibers I would have thought a 6.5 grendel may have carried some interest when the steel case ammo was cheap and pretty good performance per $. maybe for more of a dmr or something with the extended range.
I think pink, yes, pink is one of the best colors for a dot sight. I may be misremembering but someone explained to me that it is the color that stands out the most to the human eye if it is being illuminated.
curious. i wonder if that's why some computer graphic defaults to bright pink / magenta when textures are missing. when you see pink you know you've mucked up somewhere.
Thums up for Chelsea Wolfe - saw her with my oldest daughter.... ummm a while ago... yeah time is so fluid right now with all what is going on.
PC Master Race confirmed! Knew there was a reason I liked you, among other things.
People with a stigmatism might find green dots easier to pick up than red.
Is there any reason not to buy "range toys" like a Mossberg shockwave?.....I have personally always wanted a short barreled pump 12 gauge....not for defense or any other reason than I think they look cool?...any reason to not indulge my inner 12 year old self?
There’s nothing wrong with fun.
Hi Karl!
I was wondering if you had advice on working out, especially while social distancing. I've been wanting to get into a shape where i can maybe do a 2gun one day.
I like the vignettes, 2D history is much better than just out of the book. I wish my finances allowed me to see more historical sights in person. If your library is chaos cubbed like mine, mutiple book cases distributed about the house, could we at least get a random sample of one or two? Looking forward to the paper cartridges. I've done it for Civil War reenacting but mine are cringe worthy examples. Tips and tricks are appreciated.
For the blue dot question im pretty sure higher end manufacturers make amber along side red and green
Did you film this video during/after a shootout?
With the increasing rate of urbanisation, do you think barrier penetration is becoming a more important factor nowadays than before?
Micki Free, from Shalamar?! j/k! Personally, I really enjoy the Old West Vignettes. I love learning about some of the lesser known personalities, and, stories from an era that's been so over-romanticized. I've also been enjoying your black powder videos.
