You don't need a fancy workshop or expensive tools to start gunsmithing—just curiosity, patience, and the guts to try. In this episode, I take you back to where it all began: my dad's cluttered workbench in the mid-90s, a cold H-bar in hand, and zero clue what I was doing. It wasn't just about building a lighter rifle—it was about testing what I was made of. I talk about: How childhood curiosity shaped my DIY mindset The brutal lesson of aligning a collapsible stock Why patience is your most underrated tool The real reason mistakes are priceless And how “just starting” changed everything for me If you've ever hesitated to turn a wrench because you didn't have the perfect setup—this one's for you.

Welcome back to For The Love of Guns! In this relaxed and nostalgic episode, host Jason Schaller sits down in-studio with returning guest Lonnie Robinson, a longtime friend, Marine Corps veteran, and firearms enthusiast. Together, they dive into the joys and challenges of getting back into competition shooting as they navigate their "older years," reflecting on past experiences, evolving passions, and the camaraderie that keeps them hooked on the sport. Key Segments Intro: Welcome Back Lonnie [00:00:04 - 00:01:42]   Jason kicks off the show with a warm welcome to Lonnie, a rare in-studio guest who's back for more “abuse.”   The duo shares how they met—Lonnie as a customer when Jason ran an FFL—and their enduring friendship despite Jason's playful jabs. Topic: Returning to Competition Shooting [00:01:43 - 00:11:53]   Jason and Lonnie discuss their return to competition shooting, focusing on trap, sporting clays, and pistol matches.   Lonnie reflects on his recent trap and five-stand sessions at a new club, reigniting his love for shotgunning—a passion rooted in his Marine Corps days and childhood hunting in Texas.   Jason shares his own journey, from trap at age 10 with an 870 Wingmaster to pistol competitions in his 20s and sporting clays in his 30s.   They explore the physical challenges of aging—shoulder surgeries, knee issues, and arthritis—and how it shifts their focus from winning to enjoying the sport and camaraderie.   Highlight: Lonnie's shift to competing against himself rather than others: “I'm my main adversary now.” [00:06:13] Sponsor Break: EGIS Gun Care [00:11:53 - 00:12:35]   Jason gives a shoutout to AEGIS Gun Care at https://trb.fyi/boomlube, praising their oils and teasing an upcoming content idea. Use code BoomLub at checkout for 10% off and to support the show! Long-Range Shooting: Military vs. Now [00:12:35 - 00:16:58]   Lonnie contrasts his Marine Corps long-range shooting with today's recreational approach, emphasizing fun over necessity.   A discussion on ethical hunting: Lonnie opts against building a long-range hunting rifle (7mm PRC) for a client due to insufficient skill and practice for shots beyond 400 yards.   Highlight: “Unless you know your rifle, load, and wind conditions, you shouldn't take long-range shots.” [00:14:46] Gunsmithing: Experience Over Certificates [00:17:01 - 00:23:26]   The pair dive into building custom rifles, with Lonnie sharing his work at Little Mountain Gun Works and Jason recounting his own builds (e.g., rebarreling Remington 700s).   They critique gunsmithing schools like SDI and MGS, agreeing real-world experience trumps formal diplomas. Lonnie's “diploma from life and the Marine Corps” speaks for itself.   Highlight: Lonnie on woodworking: “I don't need a class—I make really nice stocks.” [00:20:52] Competition Rifles and Shotguns [00:23:26 - 00:45:24]   From chassis systems to classic over-and-unders, they explore how competition gear has evolved and their personal preferences (Lonnie's Beretta love shines through).   Lonnie's shift to enjoying the process over scores: “My five-stand was atrocious compared to my old scores, but I had a blast.” [00:45:10] Speed Round [00:51:22 - 00:57:03]   Jason surprises Lonnie with a quick-fire Q&A:   Ear plugs or muffs? Plugs for shotguns. [00:52:16]   357 or 454 Casull? 357 for versatility. [00:53:55]   Improved or modified choke? Modified for all-around use. [00:55:05]   Single shot or lever action? Single shot (Ruger No. 1 fan). [00:56:23] Thinking Question: From the world's largest armory, Lonnie picks a Ma Deuce (.50 BMG), envisioning it in a Jeep for Rolling Thunder. [00:57:27] Wrap-Up: Little Mountain Gun Works [01:01:03 - 01:04:26]   Lonnie introduces his retirement gig at Little Mountain Gun Works, crafting custom PRS and NRL rifles with his 07 FFL.   Jason teases future collaborations—stay tuned for more!   The episode ends with their signature banter, proving their friendship is as strong as their love for guns. Notable Quotes “Shotgunning and hunting birds is always a love.” – Lonnie [00:02:51]   “It's not putting holes in paper—it's that challenge.” – Jason [00:04:25]   “I'm not competing against everybody else now—I'm competing against myself.” – Lonnie [00:06:13]   “There's no replacing actual experience.” – Jason [00:20:23] Connect Follow Little Mountain Gun Works: Stay tuned for updates via the podcast!   Support the Show: Visit AEGIS Gun Care at https://trb.fyi/boomlube and use code BoomLub for 10% off.   Subscribe: Catch every episode of For The Love of Guns wherever you get your podcasts!

In this episode of The Undependant Podcast, we dive deep into the growing trend of political figures, like John Kerry, advocating for controls on free speech in the name of fighting misinformation. We explore how this impacts independent thought and why it poses a threat to the core values of self-reliance and freedom that we uphold. Topics Discussed: John Kerry's Remarks on the First Amendment: A look into how recent statements by public figures, like John Kerry at the World Economic Forum, view free speech as an obstacle, particularly when it comes to controlling the narrative around topics like climate change. The Importance of Sovereign Individuality: How being a sovereign individual means making decisions independently of centralized authorities, fostering critical thinking and taking responsibility for one's own well-being. Censorship & Political Control: The increasing suppression of legal and non-threatening content, particularly regarding self-reliance, prepping, and gun rights. Platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are actively curbing alternative viewpoints. Historical Parallels: The dangers of speech suppression as seen in authoritarian regimes like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, China, and Iran, and how the current climate in the U.S. is beginning to mirror these regimes' tactics. Technology's Role in Censorship: How big tech companies are centralizing control of free speech, and why decentralization and community engagement are vital for maintaining independent thought. Call to Action: Help preserve free speech and independent thought by: Subscribing to The Undependant Podcast and The Rogue Banshee YouTube channel. Sharing this episode and content with others to break through the suppression. Supporting through affiliate links at www.trb.fyi/partners to help continue bringing independent content to light.

Notable Quote: "We may not be there yet, but when political figures begin to suggest that free speech is a block to progress, it's time to take notice. Free speech enables progress. It allows us to open up debate. I don't have to agree with you, and you don't have to agree with me. But if we lose that ability, we're left with only state-approved speech, and that's dangerous."​. - Jason Schaller Episode Highlights: The First Amendment is under threat by political figures pushing for speech controls in the name of fighting misinformation. Being a sovereign individual means thinking critically and making decisions for yourself, not waiting for others to solve your problems. Platforms like YouTube are suppressing independent content that promotes self-reliance and alternative viewpoints. The dangers of mimicking the censorship tactics of authoritarian regimes like China and Iran.

In this episode, Jason shares his personal journey toward becoming debt-free using the Avalanche Method. He explains how shedding debt has been a crucial step toward financial and personal freedom, offering more flexibility and control over life's decisions. Jason emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between wants and needs, and how this mindset shift played a key role in not only paying off debt but staying debt-free. This episode is packed with practical tips and reflections on how you, too, can work toward financial independence, even if your journey looks different from his.

This method helped him minimize the long-term cost of debt and build momentum as each debt was paid off.      - Want vs. Need: A major theme of this episode is learning to distinguish between wants and needs. Jason explains how this mindset shift helped him cut unnecessary spending and focus on what truly mattered.      - Staying Debt-Free: Once out of debt, Jason discusses the importance of continuing to live below your means, avoiding lifestyle creep, and building an emergency fund to handle unexpected expenses without falling back into debt.      - Investing in the Future: Jason touches on planning for the future, including preparing for job loss and retirement, and how being debt-free allows him and his family to invest in their life and happiness.

He also talks about staying calm under pressure, the role of situational awareness, and small, actionable steps like taking first aid courses or having multiple backup plans.
