Sons of Guns

[rockrat]

Saw it last night. At least the daughter told the guy wanting a suppressed shotgun that he would have to wait for approval from the Feds and it would take 4 months. He wanted to take it the next day to go hunt (Don't know about LA, but not allowed here, hunting with suppressors IIRC).

Other parts seem that all you need is alot of money and you can walk out with NFA items with just alot of paperwork. Anti's will point and say how "easy" it is to get the stuff. The boss should at least let people know he is an SOT and licensed to build the stuff and paperwork is needed on all the items and approval from the BATFE before you can walk away with it.

Ticked me off last night, that he didn't want to try the flamethrower, but had no qualms about shooting API, tracer, ect and starting fires in the countryside. Poor judgement in my book.

Seen about all I want to see of the show.

[AaronJ]

Is it just me ore are the prices a tad on the high side? Living in a state where supressors and SBRs are not allowed i really dont know.

[Buckshot]

..............I don't see why they don't have silhuette on TV. Especially BPC type silhuette. Or action pistol for that matter.

..............Buckshot

I watched two episodes of the show. To me it perpetuated every single stereotype the Left has for us. My wife has nothing against guns, but not growing up around them she isn't as comfortable with them as I am. She couldn't stand to watch it.

I also thought the scene where the young guy from the shop shot the cannon and had an orgasm was a little much.

[garandsrus]

In the show with the .50 cal, I was surprised that they milled off the part of the receiver that prevented the rifle from firing full auto. I didn't think you could do that as it makes the receiver a machine gun, which is exactly what they did.

I am not too familiar with NFA laws, but don't you need to have the permit/tax stamp before you make something like a machine gun, silencer, SBR, etc?

[spqrzilla]

garandsrus, they were very sloppy about explaining why they were legal to do that. I'd have to guess that they have the appropriate manufacturers license.

Its one reason I found the show annoying and unwatchable.

[lathesmith]

Hmm...hands up, everyone that honestly believes these guys really manufacture all their specialized aftermarket gear on an old lathe, a broken-down mill, a rickety old drill press, and a couple of Harbor Freight hand grinders. Yea, I didn't think so, I don't buy it either.

That being said, my guess is the proprietor and his crew probably do know a thing or two about making some quality specialized firearms hardware. But, you don't get to see it on the show, at least not yet anyway. As long as you take it for what it is-- strictly entertainment, it's not too bad, especially if all you love to see are explosions and mostly black plastic hardware. Could be better, could be worse, I'll watch a few more episodes before I make a judgement.

They have theyre stuff made by a local machine shop down the road. They had to buy equipment to put in their shop for the tv show, they do not use it for actual production.

So, it seems fair to say that the whole show is a staged drama with the substance of cotton candy. I'm happy to have missed the shows. NEXT.

Having six daughters, they learn at early ages that there is NO NEED to order Dad around. A frown or teardrop got me fixing toys, relining brakes, you name it. I also coached soccer, ran off boys that didn't make the cut, and other details that kept the dull times to a minimum. That's what Dads do, I thought. Lotta dysfunction going on, I'd say.

[Caster Blaster]

Yup, $3500 for a couple of suppressed ruger 10-22s? get real, even buying the stamps thats way off base. There is NO need for the fake drama, "I need to make $25000" "we gotta get it done by friday!" have any of you dropped off something to a 'smith and they were sweating boolits to get it back to you by friday? cut the ****. Stop showing the one meat head talking about booby-trapping his house with an ak47, don't keep re-using the same target being shot sequence, and just make a show about a custom shop creating something interesting, thats what was great about the original Jesse James Motorcycle Mania specials. FAIL. I did like watching the CMOH marine with the flame thrower though.

[lcclower]

Reality TV is an oxymoron.

[Hardcast416taylor]

After hearing from several guys I thought I knew, to watch this show I did - and probably won`t again. The only thing I liked about the entire show, alot like Top Shot, was the old Marine and his flame thrower along with his story about how he earned the CMOH. I seem to remember reading about this old boot and his exploits at Iwo.Robert

[edsmith]

I recorded 4 of those shows, though I would watch them tonight, 10 min. into the first one, I went to the others, except #4 which I did not even start. those retarded morons need to be sterilized, so they can't pollute the gene pool. hope they pull the plug on that stupid so called show. I can't really say what I think of them, may be young folks reading this. I think watching the clothes dryer spin is a lot more intertaining. at least it is doing something worthwhile.but I am not one to cast despersions on any one.

where did you hear this?

ive seen some of the fancy machine equipment in the shop(peeking thru the doors while picking up a gun). how close have you been to the shop?

[82nd airborne]

He is over on ST and has said several times in the past that they contract out the machining to a nearby shop.

[akajun]

Like I said Earlier, their CNC guy is Jennings Freeman. He does contract work for them at his home shop on his own CNC machnies. I have heard this from several machinists and tool suppliers in BR.

BTW Jennings sells his own line of silencers as well.

[jmar254]

I enjoy the show and will continue to watch it.

[starmac]

I kinda slowed down watching years ago, when they started cartoons for adults I about stopped. Now even much of the news is fake and basically entertainment. I reckon a lot of people have different ideas about what entertainment is.

[Rube Burrows]

I'll pull the other oar.

Because it's a "reality" show, uninformed people will think it is reality. Anti-gunners could not have written a better way to show that

a: gun people are nuts with explosives
b: it's quick and easy to "saw off" a gun
c: anybody can buy a silencer or order a grenade launcher
d: there are no gun laws

Im new here but thought I would chime in.

While all of the details are not shown, all of the shooting (even the cannon) was shot safely.

Will and RJF are manufacturers so they can shorten barrels and so fourth legally. If a customer wants to purchase one of the SBS or SBR guns and are legal its no problem. Just have to fill out all the proper paperwork and play the waiting game.

In Louisiana any legal adult with a clean record can buy a supressor.

Of course they are gun laws. Everyone in their state should be responsible for following their states laws. Louisiana is a very gun friendly state.


I have talked to Will at RJF several times. He is a great guy and really knows how to build guns.

He converted a Saiga-12 for me a while back and I love it. I would love to order me one of his Suppressors for the Saiga-12 but have not yet.


There is a certain level of DRAMA that the producers try to force into the show. You know the tv type....always wanting to make something out of nothing. Even Will said that the mill deal was dramatized and made to look like more than it was. They also want the daughter to be dramatic. It is TV.....remember? None of the reality shows on TV right now....are 100% reality. There are some things that even us locals who have used RJF before dont care to see. Things that are made for TV. We have also made Will aware of this.....for what its worth......though not sure if he can change how they make things out to be on the show.

When the show was filmed there were NO real 12 gage suppressors on the market to my knowledge.





Anyways, I have been reading around on the site and learning a bunch. Love the site. Maybe one day I will be in a position to post more. Right now im just soaking up all the knowledge.

[cajun shooter]

akajun, I have lived here all my life and have not seen the show. Where is the shop located? I know several of the older gun people in the Baton Rouge area but have not heard of these people.My last question is what channel and when is the show aired as I would like to see it once to be among those who have spoken. I have yet to see any of the reality shows that are worth the time. One person comes up with a idea and the rest of the world follows. The one about the people who are trying to survive on these islands is a big joke. If I was hungry,cold, or sick and I knew that others had what I needed then I would go and have some of what they had, very simple answer. I worked at a gun store in Baton Rouge in the early 70's by the name of Granberry's. In fact I worked for him twice as I quit a few times. TV came to Baton Rouge wanting to film a story about the Texas University tower shootings. The people of Austin refused to allow it to be filmed where it took place. Every other gun store in town turned them down from filming the guns being purchased to commit the crimes. My boss took the money and allowed them to film in our store. I was very upset and told him so as the people were as anti gun as you could be. Jesse's motorcycle show was good until the big money corrupted the show.
