end of the show "son of guns"
« on: June 09, 2013, 04:18:09 PM »
So I watched the latest season and in the last episode it appears that all the main characters left Red Jacket to open thier own shops.  I had a idea this was coming from following the issues of thier bullpup .22 rifle thread on rimfirecenteral.com. it seemed that the high pre demand for their pre-order kit then poor quality and 1 year late delivery.   Resulted in a lot of trash talking of thier products and tons of refunds.  According to a unknown shop emp posting in the thread trying to do damage control (think it qas Charlie).
So any ideas if the show will continue?   Is will back to solo building or his aks?

It went from cool guns and some drama in the beginning of season 1 to all drama and some guns by the end of the the last season. I understand that scripting these shows is normal but damn, most of the recent season was unwatchable.

The builds were mostly lame this year..don't know that was worst bolt together rem 700, the custom 870 game changer, the mpl with mp5 forgrip or the butchered full auto grease gun

You guys should watch the outdoor channel.  On Wednesdays they have tactical stuff like MidwayUSA's rapid fire (puts guns up against each other, old vs new), tactical response (how to deal with defense situations), shooting usa (shooting events around the country), and American rifleman

It was a great show when they were building actual stuff for customers! Then they started building crazy stuff and had way to much drama going on! They build some really cool shit for regular guys and then just started doing cannons and shit!

I enjoyed Season 1 quite a bit. Saw the writing on the wall Season 2 and bailed. NOT a fan of fake drama, pretty much figured it would lead to real drama for the company and didn't want to watch the slow, painful death.

Sounds like I got out while the gettin' was good.

I agree, I should've stopped watching it after the first season too.....

I trusted the DVR's fast forward feature to eliminate the drama.... impossible when the whole show is drama.... :(

Yeah with Michael Blane(?) And Rob picus(?). It's. Great series.

I thought you were talking about the elite police one, but it might be done already

Can't stand the show, although I do watch it. Mostly using the fast forward on the dvr. But the thing that was really annoying on the last episode was the producer always asking "what happened, what's going on?" Like really, are you not paying attention to what you're filming as usually they're right there.

It's like a train wreck, I don't want to watch it for the reasons stated above but I find myself watching it every Friday. It would be nice if they could find a balance between interesting gun builds for us and drama for the unwashed masses.

At the start of this season, I told my self I'd stop watching that show.  They build crap.  I would NEVER have them touch one of my guns or build one for me.  It was set on my DVR and ended up watching the whole season, mostly to see how far they could fall.  I wasn't necessarily looking for them to go down, but just interested in how it all played out. 

I do watch most of the gun shows on the Outdoor Channel.  Midway USA's Gun Stories and Shooting USA are good, but they rarely have new episodes.

Things I liked about the show.

Vince and Flem's various actual gunsmithing, which they showed very little of.  And Joe and Charlie's little mad scientist projects.

Everything else was bleh.
