We've got a left-handed alligator hunter here who wants a custom rifle. I think a right-handed bolt action off the shelf with our logo engraved on it would be perfect. Ooooh, perfect, this is just incredible. I can't believe what amazing work you do.

I lost it on American Guns at the episode where Paige didn't know how to field strip the 1911 she wears.

It was a 1911 and a Glock (I think 21, maybe 20) in their most basic of field strips, and everyone was scratching their heads trying to figure out what the christ is going on and it takes them several minutes to identify the two firearms in question before "moving on down to our firearm expert, he can help us out!" I hate my TV.

I'll remain adamant that a gun-show written by Cyrano and narrated by a smoking and drinking Brian Blessed, all done in one take so that he gets drunker as the show goes, would be a smash hit.

3 Gun Nation is a pretty cool gun show without the usual idiocy. And both seasons are available without commercial breaks online. Although I guess the whole show is sort of a commercial for FNH, but that's what you get when they're the only major firearms company to step up and sponsor. Season 2 also has an episode that profiles a teenage girl that's done pretty well for herself in competitions that had a lot of weird close-up shots of her looking just off-center of the camera while her dad stood behind her with a gun (even though he is never shown actually shooting or competing or anything) for transitions.

I know this is starting to sound repetitive, but here we again anyway. $20,000 for a lever action Winchester knock-off. Twenty loving thousand dollars. For $20,000 they milled exactly one part, slapped together off-the-shelf parts, and hosed up the stock so bad they had to cover it with an ugly-as-hell recoil pad. Oh, and engraved maybe 10% of the receiver instead of the mega awesome full scrollwork they promised. I wonder if Rich realizes he's destroying his reputation instead of enhancing it.

OldSquid posted:I'd be willing to bet Jake's not eligible (nor interested), however, Tara from season 1 deserves a second chance since she had to drop out for a family emergency. That's exactly what I was thinking. I'd like to see Tara get another chance along with Chris Cerrino from season 1, who was an honest dude and actually performed more solidly than Iain for the majority of the time. Big Mike from season 3, too. I'd actually kind of like it if the past 4 winners weren't invited back: they've already won once, so give someone else a chance.

I was with my in-laws over the winter or something and we saw the episode where they tart up a Ruger Mark III with an American flag for some ten-year-old bullshit league shooter. So within like eight seconds of seeing a Mark III and hearing the kid's mother say they wanted it done special for targets I turned to my wife and said that this was a $75 parts-change at absolute best, so they're going to have to paint this kid's gun into something horrifically ugly and charge a fortune to make any money. I felt really awful when it came true because how could you exploit a clueless soccer mom and sleep at night, but on the plus side I basically ruined the whole series for her whole family in one breath so I guess that's something.

In other words, this guy thinks he's Cinderella when he's really more like Leon the Professional. In terms of how the story starts and ends, that is.

I don't remember if they said TBH. I was more pissed that they did very little to improve the function gun that the kid and his father couldn't have done together on a weeknight after school when the mom asked the shop "to make it competition-ready" and threw in a paint job instead to make more money. They didn't even give the kid a Volquartsen trigger and left on a pair of Ruger's hideous black grip panels on top of a retarded American flag paint job, it seriously looked like rear end. Imgur is failing to upload a picture for some reason, if you search for "Young Patriot Pistol" it's on Youtube or whatever.

I think there's a guy in the corner every time someone talks price with a "customer." His whole job is to throw out a bullshit number that sounds like a gun price to dumb viewers. At least that's what I have to believe so that I can still watch the show without enraging myself.

I watched the first episode of Longmire and it seemed pretty average. Gun content wise... Longmire brings spent shell to a gun expert who tells him it's a .45-70, which is extremely rare and was only ever used a century ago in the Sharps sniper rifle. Later Longmire finds a suspect with a Sharps rifle but says it is clearly too dirty and rusty to be the murder weapon and demonstrates this by loading it and pulling the trigger to prove it won't fire.

I am an episode or so behind on American Guns. The little kid was a trip. Seeing him at the end in slow motion with 6 shells in the air (only inches apart) on a lever action was pretty cool.

How the hell can a shorter barrel develop more velocity? A paradox of propellant burn exhaustion and barrel length beyond optimum? I mean if any caliber could have that problem I would imagine a big heavy slow round with a lot of meat on the rifling (like 45 ACP) would be a candidate for this paradox.

B4Ctom1 posted:How the hell can a shorter barrel develop more velocity? Bolded the important part. From what I understand it's a serious thing for .22LR shooters, and is the reason you don't see .22LR barrels that are really, really long.

B4Ctom1 posted:How the hell can a shorter barrel develop more velocity? When and only when the drag caused by the barrel is is greater than acceleration caused by the gas from the powder. You would have to take a look at the derivative to the acceleration(The Jerk or change in acceleration) and the barrel length. Theoretically there is a barrel length for a given load and bullet that will give the absolute maximum velocity possible. However, once the barrel length goes over that length, it starts slowing down the bullet. I am not sure how the velocity curve would look in relation to the barrel length though.

I'm watching Pawn Stars and Ric just pulled a cocked and locked 1911 out from behind his back and slid it inside a fake book... I mean, I suppose as long as it was never pointed at anyone, that's not a terrible idea. Still, I hope he pulled the mag and cleared the chamber off camera. It just seems like that sort of goof can withstand some extra caution.

There's nothing wrong with carrying a 1911 condition one, it's the smartest way to carry one. It sounds like he pulled his loaded carry gun in his (probably crowded) pawn shop to test out a hollow book, which isn't so smart.
