Quoted: Hate to break your bubble there... I made and designed that weapon. Many if not most of firearms on that show were made by other folks in the industry. We had no control over the derp that went on nor the story line. That firearm was a real transferable MAC 11a1 that was converted to 9mm and fired 3500 rounds a minute. It had to be mounted on a heavy host or you could not hold onto it... Dude shooting it on film is also an FFL and is a member here. Frankly if you want to continue to violate the COC and call me names...Go for it sport. I'll be your huckleberry.

After reading about the china lake and Will Hayden fiasco, I always wondered, how did other people's firearms get in the show? Did most builders contact them to have their products star in the show or did they/producers contact other manufacturers? |

Clicked for hot pics of Paige Wyatt, leaving disappointed.

View Quote Great question: The producers were always beating the bushes for new ideas and were constantly reaching out to folks in the industry. Both the production company and Red Jacket burned a lot of bridges and I got the call about the semi BREN fun (and appeared in that episode). After that I got a call when somebody backed out. That happened a bunch. The producers, line producers as well as directors were a revolving door. Very high tension on the set at all times and LOTS of issues. Shows were done "Cooking Show format" whenever possible; meaning you showed up on set with basic ingredients, a partially done product, and the completed weapon. Not always but most times. We had five days to get the show filmed. There were some very good people I worked with and there were some monumental ass hats... |

It was one of? If not the first big time black rifle show on TV. Sad it turned into a shit show. And very sad the daughter went through the abuse she did.
I sold a bunch of A1 handguards to the dad. And the daughter cut the check. Kinda strange looking back on it. |

View Quote I agree, it was an interesting show to a teen or new commer who didnt know much about guns ). It probably got alot of people involved in firearms or at least brought on an interest, but, we love to eat our own. That being said, the whole situation is very sad and fucked up. Just to clarify I am not justifying anything he did or was accused of, the guys is a shit bag IMHO, all I am saying is there id alot of "that gun was retarded" "why would someone build that piece of shit" etc. Take it for what it was, an actual TV show, TV entertainment in which building NFA firearms and big black scary rifles was the main focus. I doubt we will ever see anything like it in our time again... |

I'm going to go so far as to say the show was cooked up by a bunch of big city liberal execs who were deliberately out to make the gun culture look like a bunch of inbred Southern bubbas instead of accurately portraying a thriving, respectable firearms business. (I'm not saying Red Jacket was a respectable business, just that they deliberately avoided profiling a respectable business).
They consciously picked a gun shop run by marginal people in order to further a subtle anti-gun agenda. |

Quoted: I remember Will Hayden being very active on here prior to the show, under (i believe) the screen name RedJacket. It was when krinks were becoming all the rage, and the reputation of his work with ak builds was respected at the time. I contacted him to have a bulgarian krink built, talked to him a couple times on the phone and seemed like a good dude. Got the krink and the build quality was very nice, its pretty much the only gun I treated as a “safe queen”. When the show came out, that added some novelty to the gun. But then the pedo stuff came to light and the gun always leaves me with mixed feelings. Im not sure who actually built/ manufactured my gun. I own other guns that I am positive were used by communists to do bad things to people, but never give that a second thought... I hope Will gets what he deserves in prison, and definitely in the afterlife. View Quote Hmm. You don't know if you have a Finky Krink or a Stinky Krink. But if it's not a Rinky Dink Krink... Just clean it real good and forget about where you got it. |

A portion of GD might appreciate it, but your average TV watcher needs action / drama to stay engaged. |

All of the gun shows that were aired by Discovery and their other channels flat out sucked. A few interesting episodes and then the American Choppers formula went into effect.
I tend agree with others, no reputable gun business would make for interesting TV for 95% of Americans |

Jupiter Productions produced the show and Discovery bought it.
Some of the best parts were cut out. Like the time Kris was hand-cycling live ammo in an AK and fired a round through the ceiling, right past the sound man in an upstairs mezzanine. Or the time everyone was on the firing line, guns at the ready and the camera man was out in front of everyone filming. The Producer told everyone NOT TO FIRE, even when he yelled "Fire" so the camera man could get back behind the line before everyone opened up. But one DUMB FUCK, lit off a round right when the producer yelled fire. The shot went right beside the camera man. I thought he was going to charge the guy and kick his fucking ass right there. It was epic. Tony |

That show was cringe worthy for the "innovative" crap they came up with. The family made Honey Booboo's family look well adjusted.
