Re: is Red jacket as fake as the tv show?
Can't stand the show, won't watch it.
Nothing they do impresses me, their portrayal reminds me of blackface entertainment.
Maybe it reaches the WWF crowd. I'm sure it gives the anti's a condescending snicker.

It's the Orange County Choppers of the gun world.
Just like I don't expect anyone wearing an OC Choppers shirt to actually own or know how to operate a motorcycle, I don't expect anyone who is a fan of that show to ever have fired a gun.
Re: is Red jacket as fake as the tv show?
That show sucks. Whiz-wheels and welders flying all over the shop and
Shit for brains clientele (the "contractor" working in A-stan was particularly hard to stomach). It is made-for-moron T.V.
Having said that, I have had a couple of their AK builds pass through the shop for customers. They were really nice builds and as far as I know are holding up fine. They did not look like the silly junk you see turned out on the T.V. show.

Maybe they need a selective-fire, belt-fed 40mm grenade launcher for traffic control. Or to serve warrants on people who build mother-in-law suites without a current Building Permit.
About the only think I believed in that episode was that one of the shop monkeys actually did manage to cut himself.
I also thought that the exploding shed was completely unrelated to anything launched from that weapon. It was a typical Hollywood explosion, centered INSIDE the structure, and a lot of flame that you generally wouldn't see from a 40mm round.
But since they also managed to get the blue chalk practice rounds to blow up, I suppose that genius Will can do just about anything.
I too was wondering WTF they needed that for. hmmmm I wonder if I have a permit for the garbage disposal? :rolleyes:
Re: is Red jacket as fake as the tv show?
I watch every once in a while, try to like it, but just cant.
Recent show where where they couldnt find 6.5Jap ammo and had to custom make it gave me a chuckle. Guess they dont have gun shows down ther.

If your dog explodes in the front yard, I'm gonna say "no".

I am with you. Th on show they seem to flaunt the fact that they get along better then the show portrays.
Re: is Red jacket as fake as the tv show?
I'm not going to say they're fake, I just wish they wouldn't spend so much time re-inventing the wheel.
For example the BS show where they combined with OCC to build a Ma duece with a handlebar. Crud, I can recall seeing photos of circa 1935 anti-aircraft installations based on the M2HB pedestal mounted with .... yep you guessed it a handlebar!
Re: is Red jacket as fake as the tv show?
Just yesterday I deleted the show from my DVR schedule. Tired of watching employers treat their people like dirt. I get enough of during the day.

Doubt I would pay for anything from them.
