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! We also get into making and using old ammo, the USA/CAN MILSURP scene differences, Historical plus UK gun-filled books to add to your lists, and of course, we ask for Mustache secrets.
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.
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!
This is a jammed packed show you will definitely LEARN something from or your money back! MHQ

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
