Ok, this surprises me in this world of being politically correct.. ( marked as politics due to that.. tho its not meant to be a political thread )
( and its a daughter, not a son... )
quote
(Silver Spring, Md.) - "If you can dream it, we can build it" is the motto at Red Jacket, the nation's most unique weapons business. Owner Will Hayden and his eclectic crew of Baton Rouge, Louisiana gunsmiths and historians rise to the challenge daily on Discovery Channel's world premiere series SONS OF GUNS, creating one-of-a-kind custom weapons. The show fires off on Wednesdays at 9PM ET/PT, starting January 26.
As a straight shooter and an avid historian, Will is a trusted expert to handle the requests of Red Jacket's major clients - law enforcement, military and collectors. From guns to knives to swords to cannons, Will sells, trades, buys, builds and customizes them all. While weapons manufacturers are making attachable silencers for AK-47's, Will takes it a step further -- creating internal silencers that help police departments be even more stealth in threatening situations. If someone needs to restore a WWII flamethrower to make it operational, Will can do that too. And when the sheriff's department needs to turn two guns - a shotgun and a rifle - into one, they call Will.
SONS OF GUNS centers on Will's Red Jacket shop, located in the heart of the Louisiana bayou. When Will isn't rebuilding a "bring-back" rifle from the Vietnam War or using his wealth of weapon history knowledge to determine if a pistol found in the attic is an antique or not, he can be found in his shop with his daughter Stephanie and the rest of his team, swapping gossip with his customers. Whether it's having a lunch break shooting contest, going on a nighttime bayou bow fishing trip or field testing a fully automatic M2 .50 caliber machine gun, viewers will catch the Red Jacket team always finding time to have some fun on SONS OF GUNS.
SONS OF GUNS is produced for Discovery Channel by Jupiter Entertainment. Stephen Land is executive producer, with Patrick Leigh-Bell and Stephanie Buxbaum as co-executive producers. For Discovery Channel, Dolores Gavin is executive producer.

one of the reasons I find the idea of Gun Control/restrictions silly Guns are simple simple machines. Anyone with basic knowledge and access to a lathe & mill could make guns. heck, there are even "zip-guns". the old "bed spring" automatics. I know that is my plan should it ever become profitable.
anyways - no - haven't seen the show - sounds interesting tho - I love custom fabrication.

Doesn't start until the 26th, so no one has seen it outside of Discovery people
Don't need complex tools like a lathe or a mill to make something more serviceable then a zip. Tho i agree it helps greatly if you want to make quality items. But if all you have is a a few hand tools and access to a plumbing supply store, and some free time:
