The best thing I've seen them do was rebuilding the flamethrower for the MOH WWII vet.

THAT was a cool episode. The way the MOH awardee's eyes lit up was awesome.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Interesting show, but they try to make it sound like none of this has ever been done before. 

They grafted a shotgun onto an M-16.  See "Predator", the Indian guy carried one.

They built a toy bazooka for WWII re-enactors.  I've build rockets to launch out of my LAW tube.  If I thought I could get $1000 for them I would still be making them.

The best thing I've seen them do was rebuilding the flamethrower for the MOH WWII vet.

Since I've never heard of Red Jacket firearms before the show, I woud have to say they are GOOD gunsmiths, but not necessarily GREAT gunsmiths.

Red Jacket was pretty big in the AK/Saiga market before the show and the publicity they're getting off the show isn't hurting them any. They are one of the best Saiga conversion shops in the US. The show itself has lots of fluff but like BillT said, any show that gives a positive platform to guns and gun owners is more than welcome on tv. The thing that bugs/irritates me about it is through editing they make it look like you can just walk in and buy a NFA weapon. They mention the paperwork but only once have I heard them mention the 4-24 weeks that your tax stamp can take to come back.

I've heard them say it a few times.  For example, the guy wanting to buy a suppressed gun for the weekend trip then getting mad and leaving because it would take several weeks.  Another was the tommy gun episode:  took the gun back from the police and said something along the lines of "get it back to you in 5 weeks."

As a whole, the show's alright.  Nothing spectacular.

I read abou the Katana rifle that they built for Tiger McKee LONG before I'd really heard about Red Jacket.  They have a niche that they've carved out as far as I can tell.  Like Bill Wilson has done with 1911's. 

It isn't the greatest show, but I REALLY want a master key. It lists for around $1800.  About what we'd pay for a higher end AR I'm sure we'd have to pay the $200 tax stamp but it would be worth it.

I do enjoy it and I do enjoy it more than I do alot of Shooting USA and definately WAY more than Top Shot.  They tend to be more whiney than the gal on Sons of Guns

The suppressed AK and Saiga were both impressive.  I've added those to my wish list.

I like the show. The Red Jacket poster girl isn't bad either.
