I was paying close attention and was hoping that they said something about the caliber. I never saw or heard them make any mention of it.
Interesting that it was a .308 Saiga...
Now to nitpick, its not Really an AK
I know Izhmash makes em
I do like the show, just just wish they would show more machining less die grinding. The have/had a cnc (seemed like a small HMC) sitting in the shop, but it never was running. They also have some less than great small lathe and an old Bridgeport mill. They rarely use the machines and we often see the die grinder being used.
Now I know, its TV, most folks dont care about machines. I know it looks cool when sparks fly off the grinder. Sparks are cool so is welding, if they welded some angle iron to make a new shelf that would probably make it past the editor. Also the folks that edit the show are probably in LA, CA and dont know a barrel from a stock.
I am also sure that its hard to come up with a story line that has interest. Not the "oh yeah were going to put on a pistol grip and move the trigger on the "S12" shot gun for the 9000th time". This might make a good gunsmith show not a "reality drama" show...
Next week is MG42s, show us how to put a parts kit together and make it a semi...
I can dream, right
Ive seen some other web site that were really tearing up the show...
It is an interesting show...but gotta say that the claims about the first to build a shotgun for an AR platform....the first 1000 yard AK....those platforms are out there....that is what burns me...instead of saying that you are an original just be up front and say that you built your own....just me
well....she is kinda mousey in apperance but at the same time kinda hot
I think the fact she is knowledgable of guns makes her a little hotter.

30 seconds of any gun brought into Pawn Stars or found on American Pickers is more interesting than what they do on Sons of Guns for an entire show. Chroming a M1919 and painting it with a cheesy looking dragon? Then putting handle bars on it to imperss the American Chopper guys but you can't figure out how to get the trigger to function via a cable? Really?

They aren't allowed to show you the good stuff, so what more can you expect? And by the good stuff, I mean the stuff that gets you thrown in jail. If you watch the program very closely, you can actually tell which lines are written and which aren't. They're not very good actors. I'd rather see Troy yelling "Chooot it!" any day.

It is what it is....TV....Period end of quote !!
You're right about the editing issues . And as far as the shop / machining thing , Will has two shops and a third coming on line as we speak . There is a lot more to RJF than you see on TV .I was paying close attention and was hoping that they said something about the caliber. I never saw or heard them make any mention of it.

Anyone see this last night?
I see they got some new sponsors, Mac tools and I see some brand new machine tools. A Haas VMC and a lathe, very nice, lets see'em make something!

I missed tonight's "RJF takes 4 MG 42's and makes one gun." Sorry but that just sounds nuts. Joe

Very interesting. They seem to have a Teutonic sense of styling on there logo items...Iron Cross ??? O well they seem to have tweaked the interest of supporters and detractors both...probably good for business. at first i found the show interesting, then I started to personally think they were just a bit over the top....One thing for sure they use up some ammo...I guess you have to do what you have to do...But remember you also have to appeal to gun people as well as those who would use the show as a measuring rod for all gun lovers...A thin line exists in that area....Not all good I'm afraid....Time and ratings will tell. JMO........They might want to discard the iron cross stuff..
