Strange, I was in the gun community before the show and the only reputation I heard about Will and RedJacket is that they were a great local business that did quality work.

Where did all the RJF hate come from all the sudden?

The episode the other night involved a Mark 19 automatic grenade launcher, which they stated was incredibly loud and hence, one part of their project was to silence it. I've fired a Mark 19 on several occasions, although it's been a long time, and do not recall it being specifically loud at all, especially given the mechanics of it.



Maybe it's because its late but I think I can understand why you watch the show even though you know it's scripted because even though Greenwood, Idaho has decent weather in the summer it cannot grow oranges although it recommended among its resident.

The other night when the worker came in telling the daughter that his paycheck was wrong and she tried to blow him off...that was pretty damn unprofessional.

RJF has ALWAYS been by appt. only. Never allowed walk-ins.

Nope, no walk in's. Can you imagine the clientele they'd have walking in in that area of town??

I don't really know how they do enough business to stay open and pay the enployees. Unless they just bring them in for the show or something

From what I have seen (and it may all be manufactured drama) the writers only have so much to work with. She seems like a bitch. Also, she is getting really fat since the show started. Wonder if the little shop dude is still going to chase after her...

A good bit of their business is selling class III firearms so it wouldn't really matter if you could get in there anyway. They don't sell much that the average joe could even buy. If you are just wanting to look at guns, there are any number of gun stores around BR. This guy probably just wanted to be on TV.

The show is 100% scripted.... I know a guy who was in a episode and he was told by production exactly want to do. The gun he brought in wasn't even his, it was already owned by RJ. I think Will is made to look like an a-hole by production. From everything I've heard about him, he's a pretty good guy.

I don't think he comes off as a huge a-hole, just kind of abrasive, which isn't a big deal.

I like the fact that the show sometimes shows them not succeeding on a project. Makes it much more realistic.

I watch that auction hunters show sometimes and it's bullshite how they never show them get hosed on a storage unit.

You'd think with all the extra income they are making he could get his skank daughter's grill fixed. They look they're from the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I don't think so. He is an arse to his employees. The same guys he later calls "His boys" and "the greatest people.....". So far, Flem is the only one who hasn't been treated in a way that would cause me to just walk out. The "this isn't a conversation" crap.

Once, tattoo boy had a legit concern. Will knows the guy is his best and still shut him up. Sure enough, tattoo boy was right. Same for demolition boy. He is a complete a-hole. I still record and watch every show.
