ok, i'm a little behind the times, without cable and all, but Netflix has Sons of Guns Season 1 on now, and i just watched the first two episodes.
first, what the hell?!? how are they going to call themselves a proper custom shop with a vertical mill like they have?! i've seen better equipment on Craigslist! secondly, they were measuring things with a **** RULER!? you don't have to be a machinist (like myself and a few others here) to know that a RULER is far from precision, and playing with custom guns should use PRECISION!
secondly, is the subjects. the first one was a challenge to undermount a shotgun to an AR-15. the owner guy, will (?), kept referring to the AR-15 as an M16. if it IS a military weapon, it's an M4, not a damn M16, he should know that. secondly, the Master Key concept is not a new one, nor are they the first to make it. if i recall correctly, Knights Armament makes a MasterKey, as well as an M203 Launcher (in 37mm for flares, not the 40 or 44mm grenades, i forget the size)
the Second episode, they were trying to silence a shotgun. "it's never been done before" was thrown around more frequently than MazelTov at a JEWISH WEDDING! (that's a lot, by the way). yeah, a shotgun has never been silenced before, and if you believe that, there's a really nice bridge for sale in Brooklyn! does he not know of the AA12?!? yeah, that impressive piece of equipment can be suppressed. i'm sure theres others, but that's the one that comes to mind. i realize that the AA12 is not for civilian use, but it HAS been done.
another thing, what's with the Saiga shotguns?! why not use a damn REMINGTON 870 like EVERYONE ELSE!? or a Mossberg 500?!! those two are the STANDARDS for "tactical shotguns", and in BOTH instances, it was a Saiga design.
final issue, did they just grab the most redneck lookin' guys that Discovery Channel could find and give 'em a show? these clowns are reminding me of ANOTHER crappy Discovery show, AMERICAN CHOPPER. the ASS Clowns at OCC will do whatever they can to get a buck, and that's what the tools at RedJacket seem to be doing as well. they even got their own version of Mikey Teutel, too! the apprentice, Kris. and what kind of man spells Kris with a "K"? the answer, one with a very limp wrist. oh, and a sad little "mowhawk".
if they had given that show to a decent shop, one that maybe wasn't located in the Bayou, and hopefully employed people with a FULL SET OF TEETH, it might be worth watching. i'm just a little bothered by this, and i'm pretty sure that you guys can understand.
END OF RANT, ERIK OUT!
