MILSURP HQ

TALES FROM OUR SUMMER VACATIONS- from the beaches of The Bahamas & Normandy, to Ceylon Tea valleys & Tapas bars, stories from around the world! PLUS- our report on the huge KC Gun Show & lots more!

We've been busy jet setting around the world, but we are back! Sit back and enjoy some tales from abroad from K & I and our special guests, our pals Jake and Nick!
 
 
We get as much MILSURP in there as we can, but this show is a bit more loose with some great history and fun stories, along with talk of museums, what to eat, and all that good stuff.
 
 
Also, we had a joint summer vacation this year as we all met up in KC again for the MVACA Gun show, so we discuss everything about that, from the prices and where things are trending, to some funny Fudd-type things overheard and seen.
 
 
We also do Summer pickups, gun show better ideas, a 30 second flash game, and a whole lot of other stuff so give it a listen. 

**LIVE** MILSURP TRIVIA EVENT: See how you do against our pals, in this 25 question, live trivia game!

We tried out a new 50-50 chance game with a brand new buzzer system, and here are the results, enjoy!
The next show will be our return from our Summer World Travels!

Our "Cool & Interesting MILSURP" SHOW-&-TELL episode! | Five of us share some fascinating details about some of the coolest items in our collections, andddd play a little Trivia too!

We thought this would be a fun way to teach and inform about some of the intriguing items and stories found in the MILSURP universe. By "COOL & Interesting MILSURP" we mean literally anything interesting, like a great history, or interesting features or unit markings, or an intriguing design story, or just simply it LOOKS F'IN COOL.
 
 
We've got some super rare & trials rifles, some items with amazing histories, some crazy designs you have to hear about, a few cool captures, and of course a number of Mausers, including the king of 'em all, a Tankgewehr!
 
 
We also sneak in a quick INTERESTING MILSURP Trivia, and finish strong with some rarely seen MILSURP you'll definitely learn something about.
