I just discovered the TV show Sons of Guns on the Discovery Channel. Recorded about a dozen back issues and have been watching them, very interesting show if you like guns. The new season starts in a couple of weeks.

I like the gun aspect of the show but find the shop owner and his daughter to be annoying.

I personally find it unwatchable. Why do all these so-called 'reality shows' focus on disfunctional people who need to argue and yell at each other all the time.
And from what I've seen , most of their 'creations' are not transferable to everyday citizens. Many are 'destructive devices' , and no 'new' class III firearms can be added to the NFA full-auto pool.

I agree with all of this, except the 'unwatchable' part. If you want 'unwatchable', check out Nancy Grace, I tremble at the thought of having to view that woman! At least with Sons Of Guns, the subject matter is guns...

I know guns are involved but that show bores me...and most of what they build doesn't seem so special...check out the 1911 on their website...eh...
I like all the pawn and picker shows...even Storage Wars is more fun than Sons of Guns...

I agree. Pawn Stars is very interesting , often educational , and the cast seem to get along like real people.
Hardcore Pawn makes me glad I live nowhere near Detroit!

The Sons of Guns folks must live somewhere near Slidell, La. as I've seen some of them at the Slidell gun show.

They need to do away with that openning warning. Best way to get me to do something stupid is to tell me;
DONT TRY THIS AT HOME.

That warning should be clearer....a lot of rednecks will just assume you can do it at someone else's home...

If those guys are gunsmiths, I'm Wild Bill Hickok. Accessorizing flavor-of-the-week bandwagon yahoos maybe, but I've seen no exemplary metalworking nor woodworking skills exhibited.

They just don't do anything I'm interested in. Now if they did a reality show about what went on at The Turnbull Manufacturing Company I bet I would watch.
I watched it last night for the first time. They took an Auto Ordnance semi auto Thompson, converted it to full auto, gave it the "Tacti-cool" treatment and gave it back to the Sheriff from whence it came. I'll watch one more time just in case the episode was a singular ****. Joe

Makes people think anyone can walk in and buy a flamethrower etc.Very little mention of ATF regs,paperwork approval etc.The show where they mounted 2 M16's on a patrol boat for the navy was the one that took the cake. Gun hacks at their best.
