Ian's spoken delivery, inflection, voice is a big part of his success. He communicates the details using straightforward language. It's why I've been subscribed for years. Great blog post, thank you all very much.
seriously.... that is an amazing spouse . to say "we might loose the house.... but you are happy when you do this..... so do it full time, ive got the bills" that is SERIOUS love . i can only hope to find a woman like that (and im 28.... so i better find her quick LOL)
A friend was a spy in his younger days, as he got older he became first an Intelligence Analyst then he became a (finally) very senior bureaucrat in Intelligence. He and I used to attend what became known as “The Spies Christmas Party”, it was an invitation only annual gathering of persons involved in military/intelligence/analysis, held toward the end of the year. The event gathered steam and so many exchanges and networking happened it became an event both paid for and sponsored. The participants were all very senior or retired. One story I recall involved “Aerial Photography”. A former airforce officer related that he heard of a story, an airbase was closing down, it so happened it had become the “repository” for all aerial photography archives done by the airforce and Army since aircraft photography was invented. The Officer in charge of closing down the base wanted to know what to do with the millions of photographs archived at the base. The Officer sent queries everywhere, no one would give him an answer. The Officer offered the archive to various entities, they all refused. Finally, the Officer sent the whole archive to landfill. It turned out someone found out about the landfill and salvaged the lot and recycled about 2 million dollars in silver from the archive. BUT, upon the advent of drones, high speed digital photography and high speed super computers, the smarties called for the archive, to create a data base etc., only to be told it had been scrapped. It’s been calculated that to recreate less than 1/10th of the coverage of the archive has cost over 12 billion in aircraft and labour costs.
my secret hints to this episode: 1) watch it for Ziga's continuing love story with Ian 2) watch again for Ian's well-spoken, courteous and overall amazing replies and interactions with the podcast 3) watch once more, now sufficiently drunk, to pick-up on all of Samo's shenaningans and funny faces this was so awesome, thanks for putting it out, great fun and time well spent!
Awesome! That's quite the compliment. We will try to improve the setting and audio for future podcasts but im glad that we can create a good athmosphere and interesting conversations
@@PolenarTactical Yep. That's what we came for. Samo was actually spot on at the end. Thank you all for just being normal fucking guys... It was a good conversation.
I definitely am interested in Ian’s hope to visit a post war Ukraine to observe all of the leftover and local produced weapons. One can hope that he can find some Chinese Warlord era home brewed pistols.
This didn't feel like a podcast, it felt like sitting down with buddies over a few beers and just talking about guns n all that, just super down to earth and chill
Ian has been the perfect replacement for "Mail Call" from history channel that used to go in depth with firearms(Not as in depth as ian, but still pretty entertaining) and i enjoyed the heck out of that growing up. So thankful for people like ian.
As someone who does nothing related to gunsmithing or general making: My opinion to gunsmithing is to get into making. Not guns. Just making stuff. Get welding classes, get machining classes. Just make stuff. Some of them might be gun related in that it's a skill you can transfer over but not actually be firearms related. That means you don't have to deal with legalities about firearms and firearm components. I know of no place where skills are banned. Thing is, firearms are a very narrow and niche segment. If you have the tools and the skills, you can make so many things and some of them can arguably be far cooler and impactful then a gun. So many of the biggest name companies or gun makers started off as people doing other things and just making a gun or two on the side because they had the fab capacity and skillset. Just make things. Who knows, the gun thing could be a passing fad and you discover a whole field of engineering or making that really becomes a passion and isn't kept in a stranglehold by the powers that be.
To see the truth in this look at all the non-gun related companies that made firearms during WW2. A machinist is a person who uses machines to make other things and what those other things are can be quite varied.
We filmed this podcast right after Ian's Q&A that also included an hour and a half of drinking. I would say that me and Samo were a bit too tipsy here, already speaking slowly and forgetting the correct english words 😆
@@PolenarTactical First time watcher from Argentina here: Nah... you both did fine! I'm in the last minutes of the video, and just about finishing my drinks too! Really enjoyed this last hour hearing you guys! :-)
Ian made the comment of getting proper Machining qualifications..... My father was a well known Gunsmith in Melbourne Australia in the 1960s, he completed his trade as an Instrument Maker in the 1950s. He subcontracted for several Gun Shops in Melbourne until he passed in the early 1970s n top of his normal work as an Electronic Instrument maker (second trade qualification in 1966 from RMIT) He is so correct about the trade qualifications.
I agree that the best path to gunsmithing is through developing materials skills. In days past this was done by apprenticeship to machinists. I had the good fortune to work at a tool grinding shop and learned a lot about materials and how they are worked. My friend who got me in to this makes most of his money as tool die maker, but also does gun prototyping, and advanced gunsmithing, including making unobtainable replacement parts .
True, if I didn't meet my fiancé 3 years ago, i'd probably be a homeless drug addict instead of a salesman manager distributing for a beverage company 😒 she cleaned me up real nice
I think a short-recoil pistol that uses rollers to lock is still a good idea, if you just start over and make it proper. Imagine a reinvented alloy-framed Wonder-Nine or "Wonder-Thirty" Optionally one in 10mm Auto, or 9mm Winchester Magnum as a hunting pistol.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine the Browning tilting action is easy to manufacture and works great , other actions brings very little to the cost performance table . many try with little success . I did not say no success as some are close "Beretta" for 1
@@jeffreystarits2783 Browning's method is great and I love it, but I love other methods of short-recoil as well, like the tilting-locking block with the P38 and 92FS, the rotating barrel kind as you see on PX4, and the locking rollers on the Vz-52. These other methods have the advantage of the barrel not tilting, rather just moving linearly. This isn't a huge deal, that little tilting isn't ruining anything, but the lack of tilting does have its advantages, and more importantly it makes the gun mechanically interesting.
Excellent podcast. Two channels on youtube that I love, chatting together in a real conversation between friends. As if that wasn't enough, you literally asked Ian things I've always been curious to know. I really loved this podcast, thank you very much. Greetings here from Brazil.
It is only fantastic when you travel to another country and discover they are unique and familiar all at the same time and that the people are just people and overall very friendly.
I must say Ian's channel is one of the best UA-cam channel I've ever ran into (and a regular follower ever since). Content and presentation style are always top notch. Keep it up!
Thanks for the answer to my question. Made me think a bit and I must say that you're correct and having this as a hobby and simply work on it. I'm reading up - and cheat a bit and watch your videos to get info in a entertaining way. Still sad I missed the Brutality - but expect me next year :D Cheers / Hvala
Our editor is already overworked with all of our projects so we didnt want to complicate it too much. But for future podcasts we are planning to do split screens and adding content on the fly
11:44 though not a copy of Jim Sullivan's "constant recoil" system, the new XM250 squad automatic weapon is supposed to be "tuned" and buffered to reduce movement during recoil ( in full auto, of course ). We will see how that goes in field use over the coming years. Thanks Polenar for a fun interview. ☺
I forget the guy's name but if you get a chance to talk to the lead engineer from Colt Canada he's brilliant he helped design pretty much all their weapons and is just a bastion of AR-15 knowledge.
He oughta get himself one of those old "Police" style Remington Model 8 rifles, with the long curved boxmag, it would be neat to see it in a 2-Gun match.
Ians channel is absolutely awesome. If you love guns and love history this guy will teach you a lot of cool info! Thank you gun Jesus for all the sleepless nights of binging your videos 🤣🤣

14:20 i did the same with my M1 garand with an adjustable gas plug..... it JUST touches the stop . and yes.... its WAY smoother feeling but it still has the same recoil . its just "spread out" and "smoother"........ VS a sharp "all at once" impact so its KINDA constant recoil........ but not really
Most use of magnets in a firearms main operation would be a eddy current brake for the bolt and carrier, assisting the recoil spring to accommodate different bolt speeds. Just put a copper strip in the bolt carrier and some strong magnets in the receiver. "just" 😜
For some of the purely gun-related questions you can film a segment at your shooting range, with guest shooting and trigger test. Also bltiz question part in the end with like "ak or ar15?", "9 or 45?", "Samo or Ziga?" (lol) and "if you can only have one gun...", only short answers
The strangest operating system of my collection also happens to be my favorite gun - the Vz.58. There is no rhyme or reason for it to be my favorite gun, it just is.
@@bruceinoz8002 it's really nothing like the p38 at all. Rotating bolt vs hinged locking block, short stroke piston vs short recoil, double feed vs single feed, hinged spur hammer vs internal linear hammer. What similarities are there? I can't think of any.
I wish I could be in that room and know these guys... I am a Canadian military history enthusiast and firearm collector. Autistic too, special interest. I specialize in Lee-Enfields at the moment.
11:11 conditioner is VERY important..... even for short haired people!! my had has always had thin hair, and is starting to loose it..... and conditioner REALLY helped him look better (and boosted his "mental state") . it just adds moisture to your whole body as you rinse it from your hair. i work outside fixing tractor tires in 106F weather.... so my skin gets dry... i scratch it... and it gets red and irritated conditioner adds that moisture back.... and helps it heal WAY faster (at the very least.... helps it not be as itchy, which also helps with healing) . . like... my dad always thought i was a "girly man" for conditioning...... and using real shampoo VS just using bar soap . but like i said above.... i finally convinced him to try it and he is HOOKED . . . modern shampoos are VERY strong chemically they strip out SO MUCH from your hair and skin . and conditioner is DESIGNED to "partner" with these STRONG shampoos..... to replace what they strip out
I used to frequent the F.W. site back in the day. It was a sweet place to learn about how to find good surplus guns. You could get info on how to eye decent scores. There was a forum, also. Thats where youd go to get roasted on what you overpaid for. 😆
Ian I hope you know what kind of icon you are for us normal gun folks I grew up thinking I was the only gun geek out there now I know I am but a kid in this world and I am glad to find out that there real educated adults out there
Daweo, Cherndog, eon, and Kirk deserve a shout out... Wanna say I was on the website for years before it was a UA-cam thing since back in 2015ish. You guys would be amazed how polished this channel is from where it began. So great to see...
By increasing the spring on the AK to avoid the bolt carrier hitting the back I think you're reducing the jerk (jerk in the technical sense - rate of change of acceleration over time).
Speaking of unique ideas that have already been tried, I've seen a few guns new on the shelves that I wondered if Ian would be featuring. Two have been presented already while new examples are still for sale.
I love these podcast type long form discussions. Have you considered starting a 2nd channel? Call it Polenar Tacti-cast. I give full permission to use my idea and name, just send me a T-shirt 😉
@@PolenarTactical YAY! more podcast style content is sufficient enough, I don't need credit for the name... I wouldn't turn down a Polenar Tac-Tshirt though.... just sayin 😉😆
GREAT conversation. Big fan of Slovenian scenery. Ljubljana is almost "fairy-story" stuff. But, about the dragon thing......and the brass goats out in the countryside..... Lake Bled and the town thereof (and mandatory scenic lake-shore castle), is a MUST, then there are the beers and, of course, Bled Cake.. "Out of town", over on the Italian border, there are still remains of defensive works and the machinery houses for the 'mil-spec Italian ski-lift, etc. Interesting discussion about the Bennelli shotguns. They had me impressed and a bit mystified at first, BUT, I came to the conclusion that it is the WHOLE GUN recoiling that provides the impetus for the bolt / carrier assembly to do its thing. Simple proof? Load up a round and place the butt against a SOLID object like a wall / heavy post. Pull the trigger. The gun CANNOT "recoil" because of that rigid "block". Thus NO inertial energy is bound up in the heavy "motionless" (relatively speaking),carrier / bolt. Possibly a bit rough on the gun, but it worked as advertised when held by a big, flexible bag of meat. Voodoo stuff after years of banging away with an A5. Nice work, thanks!
Firstly, this interview is fantastic and that's because all three of you are cool, knowledgeable and decent people. But I have a question. What is the gentleman in the middle using to "smoke"? Is it some kind of tobacco heater he put the cigarette into?
That was great. And yeah - there are people who start with a hobby - which is a good way to start - and then gradually they are making more money with their hobby (whatever it is) and their regular job is taking away time - from their now new business. So - they quit their regular job and go on with their new career. The thing about that - is that most of these people doing it as a hobby - are still doing it as a hobby. So - people should not count on this as something that is sure to be a hit. Thus - don't quit your Day Job - until it is holding you back. And even then - things can still go south. I was self employed for a year doing Contract Computer Programming (and I was in a band in college ...) - and - it's a lot easier to just work for someone else and get a regular pay check. Working for someone else you only have to do the work. Working for yourself - 1) First you have to find the work. 2) You do the work, 3) then you do the Paper Work (taxes, business license - whatever). If you're working for someone else - they do 1 and 3. Plus - if you work for some one else, may get Sick Leave, Vacation Time & Over Time. You don't get any of that if you're self employed. .
You don't really need to add a *timestamp* for when a segment ends (in the description) if it always coincides with the beginning of the next segment ☺️
To further add to Nates' question, since he his a software developer, what is the impact of software on gun design? Surely they use some fairly advanced modelling programs to test stuff?
Oh for 11:02 I can field this question for people who want to know how to properly take care of longer hair. I a hwhite person with long thick hair use a conditioner and a shampoo, don't buy a 2-in-1 just ask any of the people in your life that care about their hair. Basically a shampoo removes the oil and dirt and dead skin from your head and conditioner applies a new layer of healthy oils. Think of it like you remove all the oil from your AK while cleaning it but you will need to reapply some amount of oil to have it run smooth for a long time. Next time you go to the barber or something just ask them about things to look for in hair care products, what to avoid. This doesn't even touch on beard and moustache care, I use a single bladed safety razor and cremo shaving cream and a face wash so I don't cut myself and get a clean shave. Taking care of a great beard and moustache is a whole other ball game that requires regular oil rotations and brushing and trimming. The things I learn from the men and women in my life who do this for fun and profit.
Magnets have some problems, like attracting iron fragments that can get in the way and cause jams. Better not shoot any steel case or steel jacketed ammo, tiny bits that get worn off the ammo will adhere to the magnet so sooner or later the buildup is too much.
@@Kaboomf I hadn’t thought about that I don’t deal with steel case ammo very often as I don’t buy or didn’t buy a lot of Russian or eastern block surplus ammo. I tend to forget it’s out there.
I have shot a few 2 gun matches with Ian Nothing like sliding on the deck Behind a rail road tie wasting two targets and getting DQ'd because you just sent 2 rounds over the mountain )) Props Jp AND kEVINb ))
In my opinion, if you want to build guns these days, it is just as important that you know plastics engineering (polymer) and how to make glass or carbon fiber reinforced injection molded parts.

so its KINDA constant recoil........ but not really

Just put a copper strip in the bolt carrier and some strong magnets in the receiver. "just" 😜
For some of the purely gun-related questions you can film a segment at your shooting range, with guest shooting and trigger test. Also bltiz question part in the end with like "ak or ar15?", "9 or 45?", "Samo or Ziga?" (lol) and "if you can only have one gun...", only short answers
Thanks for the feedback, we will try to include it in the next one
I love these guys together, Ian and Polonar Tactical I would watch these guys talk about anything.
best pod cast this year.... anywhere.
The strangest operating system of my collection also happens to be my favorite gun - the Vz.58. There is no rhyme or reason for it to be my favorite gun, it just is.
Vz 58; a scaled up, gas operated P-38. The earlier Czech Vz 52 is another beautifully-made "eclectic" design.
@@bruceinoz8002 it's really nothing like the p38 at all. Rotating bolt vs hinged locking block, short stroke piston vs short recoil, double feed vs single feed, hinged spur hammer vs internal linear hammer.
What similarities are there? I can't think of any.
alcohol for steading the hand is also a old car painters trick and a good way to time coats
I wish I could be in that room and know these guys...
I am a Canadian military history enthusiast and firearm collector. Autistic too, special interest. I specialize in Lee-Enfields at the moment.

I love the mp7 too. Its just a mini ar pdw pcc pistol all in one.
11:11 conditioner is VERY important..... even for short haired people!!
my had has always had thin hair, and is starting to loose it..... and conditioner REALLY helped him look better (and boosted his "mental state")
.
it just adds moisture to your whole body as you rinse it from your hair.
i work outside fixing tractor tires in 106F weather.... so my skin gets dry... i scratch it... and it gets red and irritated
conditioner adds that moisture back.... and helps it heal WAY faster (at the very least.... helps it not be as itchy, which also helps with healing)
.
.
like... my dad always thought i was a "girly man" for conditioning...... and using real shampoo
VS just using bar soap
.
but like i said above.... i finally convinced him to try it
and he is HOOKED
.
.
.
modern shampoos are VERY strong chemically
they strip out SO MUCH from your hair and skin
.
and conditioner is DESIGNED to "partner" with these STRONG shampoos..... to replace what they strip out
Samo going "Why are you gae?" at 24:29, reacting to Ziga's "Let's condense it into one question" absolutely killed me xD
I loved this!
Another great and genuine conversation o7
Thank you
🤘😆🤘 Very awesome interview. Cool to see everyone outside of their "norm"
Ian's channel interests not just firearms enthusiasts, but history buffs, and engineering nerds. Or someone like me, who is all three.
Thanks!
Interesting discussion appreciate the content guys
Thank's !
I used to frequent the F.W. site back in the day. It was a sweet place to learn about how to find good surplus guns. You could get info on how to eye decent scores. There was a forum, also. Thats where youd go to get roasted on what you overpaid for. 😆
It's still the same six guys throwing shade for almost a decade.
Ian I hope you know what kind of icon you are for us normal gun folks I grew up thinking I was the only gun geek out there now I know I am but a kid in this world and I am glad to find out that there real educated adults out there
Gun Jesus Blessed Polenar Tactical!!
Daweo, Cherndog, eon, and Kirk deserve a shout out...
Wanna say I was on the website for years before it was a UA-cam thing since back in 2015ish. You guys would be amazed how polished this channel is from where it began. So great to see...
This makes my iron, the BIG iron. Always happy to see Polenar and Gun jesus together ❤

Even Jesus didn't have that nice of hair come on
I was literally up last night wondering this 😂
I'm very impressed with your ability to speak English. Very good job
By increasing the spring on the AK to avoid the bolt carrier hitting the back I think you're reducing the jerk (jerk in the technical sense - rate of change of acceleration over time).
Yes. Ian the bringer of destruction for my unique ideas that have already been tried.
Speaking of unique ideas that have already been tried, I've seen a few guns new on the shelves that I wondered if Ian would be featuring. Two have been presented already while new examples are still for sale.
Awesome interview
Whatttt. No way. I did not expect these two channels to cross. Amazing
I love these podcast type long form discussions.
Have you considered starting a 2nd channel? Call it Polenar Tacti-cast.
I give full permission to use my idea and name, just send me a T-shirt 😉
We decided we would do more of these podcast style of videos when we get the chance
@@PolenarTactical YAY! more podcast style content is sufficient enough, I don't need credit for the name...
I wouldn't turn down a Polenar Tac-Tshirt though.... just sayin 😉😆
Really interesting
Well done!
GREAT conversation.
Big fan of Slovenian scenery. Ljubljana is almost "fairy-story" stuff. But, about the dragon thing......and the brass goats out in the countryside.....
Lake Bled and the town thereof (and mandatory scenic lake-shore castle), is a MUST, then there are the beers and, of course, Bled Cake..
"Out of town", over on the Italian border, there are still remains of defensive works and the machinery houses for the 'mil-spec Italian ski-lift, etc.
Interesting discussion about the Bennelli shotguns. They had me impressed and a bit mystified at first, BUT, I came to the conclusion that it is the WHOLE GUN recoiling that provides the impetus for the bolt / carrier assembly to do its thing.
Simple proof? Load up a round and place the butt against a SOLID object like a wall / heavy post. Pull the trigger. The gun CANNOT "recoil" because of that rigid "block". Thus NO inertial energy is bound up in the heavy "motionless" (relatively speaking),carrier / bolt. Possibly a bit rough on the gun, but it worked as advertised when held by a big, flexible bag of meat. Voodoo stuff after years of banging away with an A5.
Nice work, thanks!
Interesting to imagine the Yugoslav conflicts touched this place in the 90s , even though it only lasted for 10 days
Always fun thanks
24:29, ah a man of culture.
Firstly, this interview is fantastic and that's because all three of you are cool, knowledgeable and decent people. But I have a question. What is the gentleman in the middle using to "smoke"? Is it some kind of tobacco heater he put the cigarette into?
funny and interesting video!
How cool You are Ian!
Slovenia is an amazing country!
there's a long recoil ar about to be in production. I hope Ian gets his hands on it
Really? Do you have more info about it?
That was great.
And yeah - there are people who start with a hobby - which is a good way to start - and then gradually they are making more money with their hobby (whatever it is) and their regular job is taking away time - from their now new business. So - they quit their regular job and go on with their new career.
The thing about that - is that most of these people doing it as a hobby - are still doing it as a hobby. So - people should not count on this as something that is sure to be a hit. Thus - don't quit your Day Job - until it is holding you back. And even then - things can still go south.
I was self employed for a year doing Contract Computer Programming (and I was in a band in college ...) - and - it's a lot easier to just work for someone else and get a regular pay check.
Working for someone else you only have to do the work.
Working for yourself - 1) First you have to find the work. 2) You do the work, 3) then you do the Paper Work (taxes, business license - whatever).
If you're working for someone else - they do 1 and 3.
Plus - if you work for some one else, may get Sick Leave, Vacation Time & Over Time.
You don't get any of that if you're self employed.

Conditioner is fat or oil, which replaces the oils removed by soaps or detergent.
You don't really need to add a *timestamp* for when a segment ends (in the description) if it always coincides with the beginning of the next segment ☺️
Thank you!
To further add to Nates' question, since he his a software developer, what is the impact of software on gun design? Surely they use some fairly advanced modelling programs to test stuff?
Oh for 11:02 I can field this question for people who want to know how to properly take care of longer hair. I a hwhite person with long thick hair use a conditioner and a shampoo, don't buy a 2-in-1 just ask any of the people in your life that care about their hair. Basically a shampoo removes the oil and dirt and dead skin from your head and conditioner applies a new layer of healthy oils. Think of it like you remove all the oil from your AK while cleaning it but you will need to reapply some amount of oil to have it run smooth for a long time. Next time you go to the barber or something just ask them about things to look for in hair care products, what to avoid.
This doesn't even touch on beard and moustache care, I use a single bladed safety razor and cremo shaving cream and a face wash so I don't cut myself and get a clean shave. Taking care of a great beard and moustache is a whole other ball game that requires regular oil rotations and brushing and trimming.
The things I learn from the men and women in my life who do this for fun and profit.
Magnets would be great at reducing bolt speed in over gassed firearms helping to reduce recoil they may even help with blowback firearms.
Magnets have some problems, like attracting iron fragments that can get in the way and cause jams. Better not shoot any steel case or steel jacketed ammo, tiny bits that get worn off the ammo will adhere to the magnet so sooner or later the buildup is too much.
@@Kaboomf I hadn’t thought about that I don’t deal with steel case ammo very often as I don’t buy or didn’t buy a lot of Russian or eastern block surplus ammo. I tend to forget it’s out there.
OMG, Ian is getting interviewed by the GREAT MIA ACOLLUM!!!
29:00 Flannel Daddy taking stray bullets from forgotten weapons. Hahahaha
I shot an ultimax in vegas and it's sooo nice.
WOW!
I have shot a few 2 gun matches with Ian Nothing like sliding on the deck Behind a rail road tie wasting two targets and getting DQ'd because you just sent 2 rounds over the mountain )) Props Jp AND kEVINb ))
In my opinion, if you want to build guns these days, it is just as important that you know plastics engineering (polymer) and how to make glass or carbon fiber reinforced injection molded parts.
