Keep an eye him and his grabby hands and you'll get a laugh out of his little power trip or whatever it is that makes him do that. </div></div>

that drives me nuts too...
actually makes me think that the customer never bought the gun, they're just actors, so he wants them back as soon as possible

Re: american guns

Don't forget the $1700 M&P 45 with the custom zebra paint job. I'm sure they charged the guy about $400 for an Apex trigger. I wish people that bought guns from me would use that show as a guide so I could make a fist full of cash from each deal.

Re: american guns

Just watched the episode with the NASCAR driver, who wanted a gun to help with his "varmit" problem on his land......so instead of maybe introducing him to a precision semi-auto or bolt gun....Rich shows up with 7 guns that go from a "sniper" bolt to lever actions, revolvers, semi-auto .22, pump shotgun & a .375 H&H bolt gun......

Then sold them all for $28K !! That's 4K PER GUN!! Not a single gun in that stack would retail for more than $1000. UNBELIEVABLE!!

I just saw the $10K episode this afternoon....I almost lost my lunch when that ass clown said $10K...are these people for real? I dont care if it is drama for TV, this is crazy...

If these two guys are real gator hunters, they should know better or watch "Swap People" and see what they do with a Marlin .22....$10K are you kidding me?

Re: american guns

I think you guys all fail to realize how expensive it is to lease a helicopter instead of driving a car. I wonder if he has a heli pad at the grocery store just for him.

"Honey, I'm spooling up the Bell, do you need anything?"

"Just a loaf of bread and milk"

"I hope the store has change for gold coins this time"

Someone needs to go to the store with a hidden camera and jack the guy around on his prices.

I read somewhere from a person that knows this guy and told the helicopter story. He said that Rich will have a seller that lives about 20 minutes north of Denver, but he will drive to south Denver to rent the helicopter to show off. The trip back and forth to the airport actually takes him longer than if he had just driven to the sellers house.

Re: american guns

I watch the show at times but understand its all scripted for TV. Its more like a sitcom than a true life reality gun shop show, guess that is why I give it some watching time. The fat guy is hilarious. Everyone should know all these shows are scripted and directed, even my beloved Deadliest Catch. Only the pilot show was raw. One of my friends was a boat capt and was on the show for a season or two and he has lots to say about the show, good and bad.

To make my point that these shows are scripted by a director producer for those who think American Guns and all these shows are for real. A photog does not walk into and around Gunsmoke with a camera and start filming just like they do not walk onto and around a crab boat and start filming...pilot episode for Deadliest Catch excluded. Do I know this for a fact, absolutely not but Capt Roger of the Saga and I have conversations about it.

That and the goddamn "contests" where they stand and judge the workers like children. Douchebag shit through and through.

I agree, Paige's tits are the only thing worth watching, but now that she's all over the net they can go ahead and cancel the show.

I don't believe for a second that Deadliest Catch is scripted but I have no doubt that the editors/directors concentrate on interesting stories while less interesting and boring things that happen aboard the ships hit the cutting room floor.

Re: american guns

Please tell me why they mounted an IOR Hunting Scope with capped turrents on a glossed out wetland grassed painted Sniper Rifle in 338 Lapua for the Avon Police Snipers?

BTW how often does a SWAT member need to take out a bank robber at 1,500 yards??....

I thought the idea of Sniper was NOT to be seen??.... The gloss paint job alone would give you away a 1,000 yards and or meters.......

Reguardless of what the daughter looks like I think I'll begin to reload 175 grain Matchkings during that hour from now on....I'm done with this show!!

Re: american guns

Anybody know what the price of that .338 was for the Avon Police Dept.? I have seen the pricing for some of the other stuff "custom built" on that show and I was thinking they could have bought 3 rifles off the shelf for the price of that one.

Who is Captain Roger of the Saga? Does he have a camera crew on his boat for the show?

If Deadliest Catch is scripted they need to give the poor 686 sponsored bastid a break. They make him look like a very large blown out asshole. Never catching crab, no respect from the crew, wife left him, crying on camera, balding with a lisp... Hope he at least gets paid for his acting skills haha

I thought the 'Guns' in "American Guns" <span style="font-style: italic">were</span> the titties and the firearms were just a cover to get boobs on the tube. Oh well. It's totally campy crap and anyone who actually is a firearms enthusiast (or whatever monikker you like) can see this. Considering the range of garbage that's on TV nowadays I still watch this show, mainly for the aforementioned cheesecake. As for the overweight gunsmith, he looks like a heart-attack waiting to happen, and that'll be great for ratings when he blows a ventricle. Sad really, but all in the name of good TV. Wonder if he really is that cocky or if they script his attitude in there. Sometimes he seems cool but mostly he's usually making some wise-ass crack.

Re: american guns

The general public eats up the bullcrap. A guy was in my office last week who knows I shoot a lot, etc. He was asking about custom options for his "one of a kind lifetime rifle". I go through 30 minutes of actions, barrels, contours, his intended use and some quality builders. Then the guy says "I really would like that guy from TV, American Guns, to build me a rifle... he really knows what he is doing". At that point I realized I cannot help him and he has wasted 30 minutes of my life.
