Saw one for sale yesterday on the classified forum of Bayou Shooter and it brought back memories of the sorlid demise of the show with the owner getting several life sentences for rapes of little girls including his daughters. Why would one want a firearm with that provenance???

The same kind of people who want guns that killed cops, or family members.

A guy I knew casually awhile ago, was driving a Mustang GT, and one day made a comment "This is the car my kid did himself in"
Someone later told me ( when I questioned the comment) his son shot himself in the head in the drivers seat. They told me he still had the gun too.

There are strange people in this world, that's why.

If it’s cheap, why not buy it? I’ve owned guns that were used by various totalitarian govts - against the US. I’m sure lots of us have

The latter involved the Wyatt family. They even got S & W to make a DAO model 637 with their logo on it.

Edit to add: Gunsmoke Guns and the show American Guns.

Both mom and daughter were clearly into "upper body augmentation". I think the guy went to jail IIRC.

Former coworker kept the gun his wife used to commit suicide because of her apparently untreatable migraines. His comment when asked was something along the lines of "The gun didn't take itself out of the drawer".

I attempted to watch second-rate gun programs some time ago and very quickly found out they are mostly unedited, unprofessional, and generally a waste of time.

Getting back to the subject, if you have no interest in ever trading or selling, the AR copies may be worth having. They may function well and may be quite accurate. However, consider spending a little more and buying something of known quality that will hold value and be desirable to others if you think you might part with the gun someday.

The History Channel Gun Shows were all BS, as well as the Ginseng program and the one about the store in the swamp. Matter of fact I could go on and on about History Channel shows. They were all the same, the subject matter was soon offset by staged drama and such. The kind of stuff dim wits like.
The gun programs were no good will messengers to the public.

I saw one episode where he tried to thread a barrel with a plain old die set. Silencer screwed on pretty crooked. They tossed the barrel.

I'm sure it was like every other reality TV show, heavily scripted to create drama and excitement. Being a firearms oriented show, make them look like morons too. Nothing like a little negative image creation to get TV viewers onto the side of the anti-2A crowd.

Sons of Guns and Red Jacket Firearms were back when the History channel ruined itself with “reality” TV shows like that one.

I ranked it right down here with Orange County Choppers. In both cases they presented an abusive muscle headed owner that was supposed to keep the show interesting.

I still cringe very time I hear the phrase “it’s going to be a real game changer”.

There was one show on a few years back - I think it was "Top Shot"? A weekly one hour show that pitted a half dozen competitors against each other for score with a large and unpredictable series of guns & weapons in a variety of clever challenges.

It was interesting to watch, and thought it was one of the better produced shooting reality shows.

With TV shows, "reality" generally means "loser", but apparently many like such shows.

I own a Red Jacket AR-15 . It functions as well as any other that I've used . I toured the shop and talked with a couple of the guys . The old perv had nothing to do with the builds .

Another Discovery Channel flop was American Guns. I soon realized it was more about the Wyatt women than guns.

Never heard the discouraging word, nor saw hide nor hair of them... Thankfully!

Cheers!

P.S. I guess that means "Nope!"
