American Guns

[getsome]

This is a new show on tonight on the Discovery channel Mondays at 10:00 pm eastern...I hope this will turn out to be a good show and I will be watching tonight...I watched "Sons of Guns" and it was pretty good for a while until they got a little crazy building things like a 12 gauge Gatling gun and 4 x barrel M15 multi mount contraption and other stupid stuff like that and then the drama started up between "Will" the owner and an employee wanting to date his daughter....

I also can't get into "Top Shot" anymore for the same reason...The high drama in the bunk house and the elimination round stuff is stupid plus I have to mute the volume because I can't stand that stupid loud mouth play by play yelling jack ars host...

Getsome, it's not healthy to hold your true feelings all bottle up inside.

Please let us know how you really feel first chance you get. I have the ability to read between the lines and see those true feelings and I agree with them completely, except for the one where you want to date my wife. That's a little twisted.

Sorry for the rant, I forgot my afternoon pill....About your wife and me, she said that you said it would be ok......Sorry about that old man but she is real nice and you are a lucky man!!!...

[Bawanna]

Didn't see no rant. Just some trapped hidden emotion that needed release.

Mrs. Bawanna speaks with forked tongue, I didn't say it was ok. I wouldn't do that, lost my first long time girlfriend for a miscommunication similar to that. Poor girl never did marry, still hear from her occasionally, was in my wife's graduating glass as were most of my girlfriends.

I know, more than you wanted to know but it was happy thoughts.

I just set my DVR to record the season. I am likely wrong, but it seems like that Wyatt guy builds kit guns in Montana or somewhere like that. It's a workaround to laws preventing gun purchase.

He'll probably get a lot of business from CA with the Gov "Twinky" Brown signing into law yesterday bills that require registration of long guns, and other bad laws.

I watched the first episode and it was ok. I'll probably watch it just because I'm a perv, if for no other reason.

Looked like a cool show but I did not get too far into the first episode before the Mrs. demanded a channel change. I don't think she liked the scenery.

[BEARDOG]

Missed the show , but will defiantly have to try to catch it next time,...That has to be THE finest example of a M1 carbine I have ever seen!

I watched the first episode and it was ok. I'll probably watch it just because I'm a perv, if for no other reason.

They need to get those girls out of there. They're blocking the view of the guns.

Saw it, didn't like it, won't go out of my way to watch it again.

While I'm happy for any show on TV to paint guns in a good/normal light, I can't get into the reality TV bit. That's just me. These people could be selling soap vs. guns and it would make me no more/less interested in what they're doing.

I do follow Top Shot but it is in spite of, not because of, the drama that goes on back at the house. I just like the shooting competitions & events & interesting guns - that's cool.

All stated above is true. If you their website and check reviews there is not a lot good said about them by their customers for whatever that is worth. I did not understand why the handmade "knuckle duster" had to be held 2'' away from the oversized water filled baloon to test it was necessary.

That being said, if it promotes guns in a positive light it may be good for all of us. Lots of non shooters will be watching because of the ladies. There is something about a cute blonde with a 1911 on her hip. Hummmm.

Don't know if it's real or not. Real as are those really family and the others work at the store? It also looks like a rerun of the chopper show with the family drama. I'll DVR a few more shows but expect to kill the recording.

When does "Justified" return?

[getsome]

It was ok I guess, not quite what I was hoping for...The ladies are nice eye candy I suppose so long as the show doesn't turn into "Leave it to Cleavage"....I enjoyed the making of the palm gun and found it somewhat funny that the guy had such a hard time with modern CNC machinery turning out something hand made over 100 years ago...

I will watch it again until it turns into another "American Chopper" with everyone yelling, finger pointing and fighting with each other for the camera and if that happens I'm gone because that format has gotten real old...

I think the son doing engraving is pretty amazing. I have no talent at all for stuff like that, despite being fairly good at sketching. When I get a tool involved, the lines start wandering all over the place. Looks like he does some pretty nice work. I hope the parents get their wish and the kids follow in their footsteps. Not enough people do that these days.

I watched it last night. Seems like a combo of Pawn Stars (Which I really llike due to the History aspect of items), American Choppers, and Sons of Guns.
It was ok. That rancher guy had a great collection and walk-in safe/gun room. I'd love to have a place like that where you can walk out on your deck and fire away! :33:
