is Red jacket as fake as the tv show?

[MicroMonkey]

The show is kinda fun to watch, until they assault your intelligence with the retarded concepts and deployment of the shit they "design".
I know that TV is supposed to be fake and entertaining, but wouldnt it be more fun to see the garbage they make actually do something real, rather than make fake hollywood explosions?
With that said, I see guns for sale on the net made by Red Jacket. Is that a sales tactic that is employed by them to sell regular guns, or do they actually do something other than make bad TV actors?

I think they are a legitimate business that deals in NFA firearms, and they took advantage of a business opportunity to make a TV show. Then they were bound by a contract to follow orders from a producer for said TV show. It's just business. Wouldn't you do the same if you had the chance? They are probably making millions.

From what I've read Red Jacket was and is known for the quality of their work especially in AK builds and Saiga conversions. But of course they have to "Hollywood" up the show. How long would you watch them building AKs, know what I mean?

They look legitimate to me...

According to my last American Rifleman issue, Red Jacket was started in 1999. He made his mark selling Saiga AK's.

So no, they are legit.

Silenced shotgun? Silenced Mk-19 (WTHolyF!?!?)? I like the M-16 turret for some mysterious "spec ops contractor" and the builds that "will be keeping out boys safe over there." Riiiight. Aside from the show being a complete joke (Yo, I gots to get me a thousand yard AK!) it seems as if they do have some sort of legitimate business going on. Sad to see it bastardized though.

as far as the fake hollywood explosions, i think they are just using tannerite. we use it alot to make the range a little more fun. nothing beats 3lbs of tannerite in an old freezer

Well known AK builder. Has a huge space with CNC machines. The show is scripted - obviously.

im still waiting for the daughter/gunsmith love saga to get out of the way. anyone else notice she's gaining weight? pregnant perhaps?

[Last Resort]

I will say that I enjoyed watching them mess around with the 20mm; that is a gun worth working on. The desert eagle stock? Not so much. I also don't understand why they are trying to inject soap opera bullshit into what is supposed to be a show about...wait for it....GUNS.
