Maybe someone will ask them to make a 410/45 LC revolver for $125000 and we can discuss whether that is good self-defense gun?
 
On a busy day it can certainly take that long. I had a purchase at a Denver gun show that didn't clear until the NEXT day.

According to the gun show vendors I have spoken to at the last three shows this year, they are having more and more delays on the NCIS like that.

They were talking about dozens of delays where they were normally used to one or two delays per show.
 
I would like to see them build the ultimate bear defense handgun. That would put to rest all the internet discussions on the subject.

They could have Snooki test fire it.

And by the way, Marsha Brady is still hot....

I'm a retired toolmaker, and simply watched in rapt horrified fascination as their 'gunsmith' bubba'd that 'hand cannon' together. Real gunsmiths should grab their torches and pitchforks and attack...
 
Same here on the horrified fascination, Clipper.
It was one long "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" Followed by several "Why?????????s".

Did they use epoxy to make handcannons back in the 1300's?

I think they should mount some on the Let's Make a Deal heliocopter. Nothing like flying all over for a FAL you can get at most gun shows.

Also, does central casting put out a call like this:

Weird giant guy with huge belly needed to buy overly expensive gun that you have no idea what is does. Must wear crappy, zombish, clothes with Satan crap on the back.

:D

I note that giant belly Barrett boy walks out without a box, carrier, manuals or any stuff, I'd get with a high end gun.

Last, each trade has to end with some trinket.

In the next episode, Dave offers the sucker a pound of crab salad - YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S WORTH along with $25.98 for an original Walker Colt.
 
I've had a half-dozen or so background checks in Colorado this year, and all of them took about an hour. I believe Colorado requires a state-level check besides the national one. I've certainly heard from people in Oregon that theirs take only 10', give or take.

That said, two points:
- if this is how he makes deals with his friends, I'd hate to be his enemy. He's looking at a 50% gross margin on the arsenal he bought. And he made nearly 25% of his initial investment back even before all the guns were brought in! Of course, he's going to need margins like that if he plans on choppering everywhere.

- quit being such a sensitive little prick about what the customers want. If they want their gun in pink, don't make a stink.
 
That's just macho show crap. Walking into a Bass Pro or Academy or Cabelas - and there are rows and rows of pink guns.

Doesn't he know the stock that's being produced by the major companies?

Just wanted to have some reality show conflict with the wife and then have the customer go squeal at gun class for some sexist posturing.
 
So far, I've only seen episode 1. I'm waiting for more episodes to hit On Demand because I can never remember when anything comes on and it's usually on about the time I go to bed. Regardless, based on episode 1, I'll watch more episodes. At least they made something I can relate to, unlike Sons of Guns.

My 17 year old son found certain aspects of the show quite interesting. He seconds the comment on no tats, piercings, etc.

Yeah, we'll give it another look or two.
 
Since this is the high road I can't say what he looks like sitting on that motor cycle with his wife.

You gotta wonder about people who let their children dress like they let that girl, but then again when they think it's OK to put mom on a motorcycle looking like that.

As far as a gun shop I would not darken the door because they act like their stuff don't stink and is worth more just because its in their display case.
 
With regards to that "biker guy" that bought those handguns, I was told that was Hugh King. I figured the show was staging stuff at that point, and I lost all interest.

Hugh "The Chopper" King is the co-executive producer and master of ceremonies of Discovery Channel's reality television series Biker Build-Off.

A buddy and me actually wandered in there a few weeks ago, after two of the other gun stores we wanted to go to were closed that day. I didn't know anything about them or the show, but was kind of turned off by the guy behind the counter. He came off kind of arrogant; don't even recall of it was the main guy or not. We just left, seeing a bunch of people sitting around not working, wondering how they afford to pay all these people to do nothing. Guess I know now. The only reason we wandered in there in the first place, is because I typed "gun" into Google Maps on my phone, looking for local shops to browse. I literally work less than 5 minutes away, never knew they were there.
 
You need to take the show for what it is. A gun orientated remake of "Married with Children." A dumdum dad with a son trying to out dumb him and a hot dumb wife and an even hotter daughter. Just sit back, relax, and laugh your arss off.
 
Sons of Guns is awful and this show is ran by some crazy people, anyone remember that gun show on Showtime that they only did 6 episodes of? It was actually pretty good i thought. Some info was bull like the racking sound of a shotgun but overall i thought it was way better than whats available now.

I loved seeing the kid trying to shoot the AR pistol, deliberately hitting the mag release then blaming the gun. Or when he didnt seat the mag and the dad blamed the gun.

While im on that topic, since when was shooting 2 rounds through a kit FAL a test of reliability?
 
The parts moved, it has to be reliable :) The kid obviously holding the gun by the magwell with his grubby little fingers placed right one the mag release fooled plenty of people I'm sure. I knew it didn't seem right to me when it fell out that easy. AR pistols are not that hard to build.
 
I've actually had Will @RJ work on my Saiga so I can relate to his show much more than AG. That being said, for entertainment purposes (heck, the scenery of CO. alone especially when he makes those helo trips to buy stuff is worth watching) I enjoy the show.

-Cheers

I have read on several other forums that they inscribe their logo on guns they work on, did they do this to yours?

The more I read about these folks the more he seems like a real winner.

Indeed--You can elect to or not, just ask Will. First class organization (TV show, of course, over-dramatizes the shop but they have to for ratings).

I just finished watching the most recent episode of AG. Again, it was good for a few giggles. After seeing American Guns, Sons of Guns, Top Shot I have to ask. Do they clean up after all that "target" shooting or do they leave all that broken glass laying around?

If you guys have the Outdoor Channel, there's a great gun show hosted by the great Joe Montegna titled "Gun Stories" and it is a true piece of art--The last show featured the Barrett .50. Highly recommended viewing for gun nuts or historians in general.

I agree, it is one of the best shows on televison and it proves you don't need stupid drama to have a good gun show.
