Not sure what I was thinking not watching this interview until March 2024. This has to be one of my favorite interviews you've done and I really enjoyed getting to know Eric better. So nice to know someone like him is on our side. Both of you have my support completely. Thanks Erik
Erik, great interview. You need to become more involved in politics. You have a platform to show young folks that race has no place in politics. Also you know the gun industry, what better spokesman for 2A rights. I am the old fart that stopped you in the Buc-ee’s in Temple,TX in September 2022 and asked you if your name was Erik Cortina and you were very gracious to an old man. Please keep up the good work. I am 74 and learn so much watching your videos.
I have a huge respect for President Trump and this just made it twice as strong. Never knew much about the boys so this was great to see. Thank you Erik for doing this interview! I hope a lot more people see this interview. I'm going to share the heck out of this!
Super Awesome to hear “Erick”, get to be himself…. It was really nice to see him smile and laugh and talk dude stuff! He is welcome at my shop anytime! You to, Erik! Keep ‘em coming…!
Great interview. I knew Don Jr. and Eric were into firearms, but I had no idea that Eric was familiar with so many rifle cartridges. I agree with Eric, that exposing young people to shooting sports can keep them out of trouble. We need more youth programs with .22 rifles and shotguns.
@@chriscosby2459 I was being a bitter negative Nancy. I like to think I have a respectable collection, but since Obummer used the EPA to shut down all but one US lead smelting plants, I’ve left by 22 bricks and everything else in the safe and taken up airsoft. You’re right though; where there’s a will, there’s a way. It would be nice if more of the “affordable” shooting disciplines had better advertising. I wouldn’t even know where to find a rimfire match and ROs rarely update PractiScore even for the big money venues. 🤷🏼♂️
I use to Drive from Ky to Willamsport PA and shoot My brother and an me, we took home the smallest group of the day and 3rd place in score, my brother shot small group of the day and I won my relay for score then took 3rd in shootoff, my brother didn't shoot the shoot off he didn't have ammo and I had 12 cases for the shootoff, left the rifle as is and shot my 10 and got 3rd, it was a very happy 750 mile drive home. I don't think the smiles left for 6 months...Great Vid
@@Rico11b I took one in my glasses lens. The BB did not go through but it shattered the lens sprayed my eye with glass.Eye doctor dug out the glass and I wore a patch for six weeks. I got lucky!
Ours included one red rider and everyone else had to try and take it by hand. The only rule was don’t tell the adults. Thank goodness I didn’t play that more than a few times. Terrible training on muzzle discipline. Haha
Couldn't agree more with the thought that shooting sports help keep kids on the right path. I started my kids in competitive shooting at 11 and 12 years old. It was amazing to watch how quickly their maturity level improved in such a short time. They are sooo much more responsible and driven. Not only do they want to get better at shooting, but they have put forth effort to better themselves in other areas of their young lives.
Awesome. Thank you Eric and Erik. Guys, please never quit. I can’t believe that it’s all for nothing. Anyways. Yes on the primer company. Yes on the varget factory. If we can’t have that maybe one that just makes n140 and n555. Although I am personally playing with faster extruded currently on 69 smks on shorter barreled 223. Like 14.5-16. Trying to get a little more speed but we will see. Just for fun and curiosity. Anyways. I am sure there is some silly law making the barrier to entry on primer production like insane so that’s why it hasn’t been done yet. Just a guess no real facts on that. Thanks again. Never quit. It cannot be for nothing. God bless and merry Christmas.
Almost a full year later and things seem to be worse. I have a brother in law, hispanic, that is one of the most successful people I know. When I met him he and his brothers (my friends) were working at his families gas station in Eagle Lake, TX. He put himself through college to be a cop. He got a job in Dallas. After a few years of dealing with perverts and other human trash he quit law enforcement to keep from losing his temper and taking things in his own hands. He started working on a drilling rig. In less than a year he was the driller. He worked his way up to country manager (managing rigs in other countries), retired, and is now consulting. He's still married to my sister and they are doing great. We live in a great country. You can make your life what you want it to be with hard work and listening to the people that know.
loved hearing about how much Eric loves the 6BR. I too used Amax 105 for years until I started using berger back in 2012. Jim Stekl is a friend of mine so i’ve been very lucky to shoot with the guy that invited the original 6BR . great interview!
OMG ‼️ Eric Trump, in some respect is a self taught machinist and literally builds rifles ; from the barrel to the action etc.etc.etc 🤯🤯🤯🤓🤓🤓😎😎😎🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️ Maybe I will catch some flack from the trolls, but they won't say it to my face so,😗! How can you not appreciate this family 🤷🏼♂️ I am watching several of Erik's videos per week now and this is absolutely one of the best ‼️💯🤙
Erik, this has been THE best interview that I've ever watched you have! You guys talked the way us common folks do, how you go into your passions of the sport or subject and kind of bouce around to other subjects! I'm so happy to have seen this interview, lots of things I got a good laugh over and found reassuring that we are the majority and the patriots! God Speed, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Just fell out of my chair, Eric is great testimony to his family (Father). With all the fake news out there it's refreshing to see someone just being himself. Great video hope all shooters get to see this!
Eric Trump is such a cool guy. Down to earth. I never knew he was a gun builder. Awesome to have that talent. Good POD Erik. The best 1 yet. 💯 on board with being in the woods or on the river is good therapy and schooling.
Keep us posted on the live tooling CNC chambering.........it will be concentric if the blank is dialed in correctly........but I've never seen a CNC chamber that wasn't oversized.
Wait a minute you are Mexican? When i get done watching all the interviews you do I'm going to wait for more to come out. Love the channels you have! Keep them coming!
Mexico is a beautiful country with an incredible history & rich culture. Sadly the socialists & corrupt left have been working for over a hundred years to destroy it.
Some things can’t just be produced more. You can give the same one guy 15 more machines. But he can still only run one at a time… and nobody else can do what he does in that building. So give him 1 billion dollars. He’s still only going to make one at a time… and he’s not going to teach 5 new guys how he does it either.
They’re also not publicly held companies, so investing isn’t really a viable option. All we can do is support them with our dollars. They certainly have enough back orders to have been approved for a loan if they really wanted to expand.
Great interview with Eric, Erik! Learned a lot about you, and about him, of whom I knew nothing other than what his last name implied. Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo. Alex
Great interview! Not only would I enjoy shooting with Eric, but now I want to learn from him and see his rifle building techniques. As a newbie having smith'ed my first two rifles I know I could learn from him just as I do with Erik.
Great conversation !! Stepping up the interviews. Last 2 have been my favorites by far. Don Jr. would probably put the bar out of reach !!!! Great job Mr Cortina !!!
@@sethbaker7605 Thank you Seth. I have seen it and it is really good info. I was hoping to have Erik give some more insight on why he wanted the small case and what grain projectile he was going to shoot. I was planning a 7mm Wsm build. I was also planning on necking down the 7mm wsm case to a .25 caliber but after watching many ballistics videos, the main theme was smaller cases with less powder not trying to push it to extremes.
Excellent interview Erik, I was surprised to see that Eric seems a very nice down to earth guy, and knowledgeable about guns...very cool...hopefully you can bring him back in future again.
What a great video, i lived about 8 houses from him in Briarcliff sorry to see him move, would love to see some videos of him building a rifle, his DAD is the Greatest, GOD bless both of your families and have a Merry Christmas and a happy New year keep the great vides coming.
I love the 80.5 Berger Fullbores as well for my 5.56 bolt action. They are loaded for a single feed its a 16" barrel and it shoots great with those bullets.
I think Eric purchased that ZCO from Eastwood Outfitters in NC when I was working there. It was under his name and a NY address. Wish I new if it was him for sure.
Buy a rifle with the same bolt face. Shoot it until it needs a new barrel, upgrading in the process until the barrel is shot out, rebarrel to the desired caliber
Thank you so much Erik. I've found your interviews to be very informative... A lot of highly intelligent people....... This interview with Eric Trump has been far and above the best for me. Not so much as how much I may learned about our gins and shooting. But how much I learned even more about Eric and his family...... There is so much spoken here that isn't isn't even spoken. I wish the world could watch this video and be able to see into who this whole family is.. I've always been impressed with how well these children of our Great President Donald Trump have carried themselves and the intelligence they exhibit.... I always figured they were all so well rounded.... Than to hear Eric speak of his youth. How he was raised. Having to work for what he wanted... And to learn how accomplished he is as a machinist. The knowledge he has as a shooter and gunsmirhing. A kid from NYC. It's amazing to me. I wish I could give each one of the Trump family a giant hug.. I have always seen so many similarities between our fathers. Mine is gone now through this covid.. But the sacrifices these great men have made...the sacrifices the Trump family needs to endure.... we can't thank them enough Thank you again Erik for being us this great interview into the life of one of one if the greatest families I belive this country has ever seen. God Bless

Builds his own rifles, respect!
Indeed. I’d love to see him on your channel next!!!
Erik your the only one that can get me to watch and hour long TH-cam video..good job keep up the good work....
Wow, thanks!

I watched this this morning while my wife was in the Dr's office. I found it hilarious that one of the ads was for Biden reelection.
God bless the Trump family. True American patriots! Thanks Erik for the upload and doing the interview!
So glad this happened! He is an awesome guy and been so great to me and my family! He is a dang good loader, builder, shooter, and overall guy!
Go watch Donald jr on the Q llc podcast. The vide is different but it's as good as this one.
Wow, that was an eye opener. Had no idea! Appreciate you doing that video! Now, get to work on those Trump Primers! I’m serious
Great interview. I knew Don Jr. and Eric were into firearms, but I had no idea that Eric was familiar with so many rifle cartridges. I agree with Eric, that exposing young people to shooting sports can keep them out of trouble. We need more youth programs with .22 rifles and shotguns.
Chicken or the egg…? You gotta have money to be into shooting sports and have access to outdoor areas. It’s probably cheaper to do drugs. Idk LoL
@@jtmcfarland3512 With the young people, you might be restricted to .22 LR for cost restrictions.

BB gun wars... They were amazing. We used to have the one pump rule also. My brother didn't really follow that rule though. :)
We had a rule that you had to wear goggles. Safety first.
@@chriscosby2459 The best we could hope for is that people listened to the "not in the face" rule. I got caught it in the neck a couple times. :)

@Clint Smith Yikes! Glad you were able to keep the eye.
Ours included one red rider and everyone else had to try and take it by hand. The only rule was don’t tell the adults. Thank goodness I didn’t play that more than a few times. Terrible training on muzzle discipline. Haha

Awesome interview! Don't give up fighting for patriotism!
These keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work amigo and Feliz Navidad.

Oh man this one was a treat! Saw the title and had to read it twice lol.
I had no idea Eric is such a shooter and loader. I knew he a hunter but had no idea he is a long range sport shooter.
Great interview, great people, proud to own a Cortina tuner!
Thank you

Voting for Eric. Or Erik. Either one . Great show!!
Great talk boys,
Truly appreciate the content
This the best of all....period! Love ya both
Awesome interview. It would be cool if the Trumps were to show up at one of our PRS matches and shoot along with us. 😀
Just found this other channel, second one I watched.
Didn't knew he even was a shooter. Great video.
80.5s is what we’ve started to go towards for the 600 yard line in service rifle
Never knew lil' Trump was one of us.

Keep us posted on the live tooling CNC chambering.........it will be concentric if the blank is dialed in correctly........but I've never seen a CNC chamber that wasn't oversized.
It was perfectly concentric and on size. 💪

This was one hell of an interview!
Partner up with companies like brux, kelbys, bartline, l e wilson, alliant, berger, invest so they can double their size and capacity
Some things can’t just be produced more. You can give the same one guy 15 more machines. But he can still only run one at a time… and nobody else can do what he does in that building.

Trump 2024 !
Great interview with Eric, Erik! Learned a lot about you, and about him, of whom I knew nothing other than what his last name implied. Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo. Alex
Thanks for that interview. Merry Christmas.
I enjoyed those interview. Trying to make up for lost time!
Also the smile on his face tells the story of the whole matter !
This is genuinely a fantastic interview whether or not it had become “political.”
Eric Trump for president.. after his dad.
Great interview! Not only would I enjoy shooting with Eric, but now I want to learn from him and see his rifle building techniques. As a newbie having smith'ed my first two rifles I know I could learn from him just as I do with Erik.

Good words guys! Great talk. #teampatriot
Good Stuff! 👍
Very very good interview gentleman!!!
Fantastic!!! 😺
Awesome interview!!
Question, you chose to shoot 6.5 prc necked up to 7mm, why is that better than 7 prc
It’s a smaller case. Better suited for what I do.
@@BelieveTheTarget how
@@BelieveTheTarget Erik.
Could you talk more about case size,bullet weight, and powder charge on necking up the 6.5 prc?
Check out primal rights channel he has a 7mm prc primal witch is a 6.5 necked up
@@sethbaker7605
Thank you Seth.
I have seen it and it is really good info.

Great Discussion..Eric Trump is a FANTASTIC Man and HUMAN BEING .
Was a great interview very interesting
Awesome interview erik
Those Trump children are quality people. Best show you have ever done Erik and you are way smarter politically than you give yourself credit for!
I would love to shoot a PRS match with both of you! Great interview!!!

Hell ya, I want to say hi to you, im trying to get started in the building of my own, been maching for 35 years
Thank you!
Super good interview.
great insights thank you
Couldn't you load a 7 RSAUM to 2800 to 2900 fps and get the same results as 7 prcw
7prc is going to shoot 175’s 3000 fps. You numbers gets you to the 7 rem mag. Which I have and love. Probably will still get a 7prc eventually.
Another great interview Erik. Eric is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about the sport.
Love knowing we're Trumpers. Thanks Erik.
Wish we could see his reloading room.. call f class john and send him down
I think Eric purchased that ZCO from Eastwood Outfitters in NC when I was working there. It was under his name and a NY address. Wish I new if it was him for sure.
Erik, this has got to be the best interview you have done to date! Keep up the great work.
Thank you, and best wishes for a happy holiday.
I wish you could talk to Dan Dowling. He went underground. I think the 6 dasher guy. He was great and highly skilled rifle maker.
Dude! I vote for Erik to go visit Eric and do a tour 🤔 I really wanna see that now 💀😭👀
Right on Erik! Very cool having Eric on here! Good good!
Eric you should build a 22 GT. I’ve had a lot of fun with mine.
That's what I'd love to build, but I've never built a rifle from the ground up and don't even know where to start.
Buy a rifle with the same bolt face. Shoot it until it needs a new barrel, upgrading in the process until the barrel is shot out, rebarrel to the desired caliber
Thanks I had no idea.
Thank you so much Erik.
I've found your interviews to be very informative... A lot of highly intelligent people.......
This interview with Eric Trump has been far and above the best for me.
Not so much as how much I may learned about our gins and shooting.
But how much I learned even more about Eric and his family......
There is so much spoken here that isn't isn't even spoken.
I wish the world could watch this video and be able to see into who this whole family is.. I've always been impressed with how well these children of our Great President Donald Trump have carried themselves and the intelligence they exhibit.... I always figured they were all so well rounded....
Than to hear Eric speak of his youth.
How he was raised. Having to work for what he wanted...
And to learn how accomplished he is as a machinist. The knowledge he has as a shooter and gunsmirhing.
A kid from NYC.
It's amazing to me.
I wish I could give each one of the Trump family a giant hug..
I have always seen so many similarities between our fathers.
Mine is gone now through this covid..
But the sacrifices these great men have made...the sacrifices the Trump family needs to endure.... we can't thank them enough
Thank you again Erik for being us this great interview into the life of one of one if the greatest families I belive this country has ever seen.
God Bless
