American Guns/Gunsmoke legit Question on Builds

[RCCrawler]

Despite having no love for Mr. Martino, I refuse to go to Gunsmoke ever again after that snafu with the lady who they made pay for her gun before the background check then wanted to not give her a full refund when she didn't pass... I'm an advocate for being a good business and operating morally and ethically. I firmly believe that Wyatt and his gang are nothing but fools, tools, and pompous asshats.

That wasn't just a one time deal, that is standard operating practice for them. You buy a gun there you pay first then do the 4473.

Thats crazy. Just another reason not to go.

I think that many of the people who watch this show (I've seen snippets while in a hotel room) either are anti-guns or have no previous knowledge about guns. I believe the show portrays gun stores, gunsmiths, and gun owners as idiots and narcissistic, over indulged toy owners. People with no previous knowledge are turned off to the sport because they believe they can't afford to purchase a reasonable firearm because they cost so much, and why would anyone want to hang out with people like that any way?

I think you are right on with this. Good points

I don't know know much about gunsmithing but it seems they're work is pretty bad. Using hacksaws to cut everything from barrels to stocks. The lead "smith" seems like he might have some idea but is kinda full of himself. The fat one is a cocky ass who hacks everything. The younger kid, not the son, is the only one that's fun to watch since he just makes fun of everyone. Do they seriously charge some of the prices they say or is it for TV. The "Gator" guns and the ones for the guy in NASCAR seemed to be just insanely overpriced.

Personally I'm pissed discovery airs them blowing stuff up and lighting everything on fire like that's what happens all the time. This state is ready to burn down from Forrest fires and these clowns make some pretty big fires. One last thing have they ever been to a shooting range. Seems they've shot everywhere but somewhere safe.

they went to ben lemond in one episode. i know it's a dumb-shit tv show, but their shooting expeditions crack me up--drive up, fire 5 shots--rich yanks the guns out of everyone's hands and then says "let's get out of here!"

their shooting is complete before i'd even have my stuff unpacked.

I don't really know why there is any serious discussion here about what happens on the show..... it is all contrived, scripted, planned and rehearsed just like any TV show. The arguments, the problems, screw-ups, the deals, the sales, how they dress, look and act. It's all part of the show. There's nothing real about it except the store itself.

[Squeeze]

As I've said a million times before...If and I mean IF I were to step inside that pathetic excuse for a gun store, it would only be because I happened to be in the neighborhood and had the urge to drop a steaming coil on the showroom floor. Otherwise...you will NEVER see or hear of me going in there.

Cstone touched on something important. Of all the reality shows, I like watching ones about a subject that I know next to nothing about, like Tanked. Then I can be introduced to whatever the subject of the show is, without any preconceived notions or knowledge. Then I watch a few episodes and am done. The only people I know who watch American Guns and the Red Jacket show are friends that have never even held a gun in their life.

Except for all of the COAR members who watch it!!
