2. It will revolutionize the industry.
3. With this, Red Jacket will dominate the market!NOT.
Red Jacket – please stay away from ARs. There are enough clown outfits putting ARs together as is.

Gee, you really want something from these guys? No R&D on builds that you get it done as fast as you can, no long term field testing, they don’t seem to care to dive into now difficult is it to clean in the field, now long it takes to break it down, hours between cleaning. Anyone remember why the M16A1started shipping overseas? A little design change by the DC Monday morning war quarterbacks to save a few bucks after field testing. Reminds me of OCC, motorcycles with double sided tape parts bolted on, rake/trail on the forks that make the bikes unstable, love it when daddy says, whoever buys/wins bids of this $150K bike doesn’t ride it but keeps it in the garage, or this bike isn’t for everyone, no one else wanted to test ride it. I don’t think anyone who can shoot well needs a firearm that require a fleet of dump trucks hauling ammo because the rate of fire goes through a dump truck per minute. At that point, you do what the army does, you switch weapons and call in artillery. if nothing else, bring in a gunship.

That looks an awful lot like a mega monolithic upper. I am guessing its just other peoples AR parts with their logo. No way I would let those chucklefuck garage gunsmiths take a dremel to anything going on one of my firearms.

I’m not a big fan of Sons of Guns either but what the show does is help get people excited about guns who normally wouldnt be.
The more firearm enthusiasts there are in the world the better. It keeps the govt tyrants at bay and makes the liberal gun grabbers even more nervous/pi$$ed off.
My neighbor used to always change the subject when I brought up guns or hunting in conversations but now that he’s been watching SoG he has all kinds of questions and is always asking to look at and talk about my collection of weapons.
So take it or leave it but I think the show does a lot of good for the industry even if it does make most of us “real” gun people chuckle once and awhile.

I am one of those gun noobs who has gotten excited by the show. They made a huge deal in this latest finale about making a more reliable AR-15 but it seemed so simple just adding a few different parts. Anyway to get to my question down the road i would like to purchase a top end AR-15, and would like to know where to find one? As of right now REd Jacket seems like the coolest thing in the world, but don’t want to be fooled because i enjoy the TV show.

Do you really want to buy an AR from a a bunch of clowns who’re too stupid to follow the rules and hold on to their FFL?
If you want a top end AR from reliable manufacturers, go to Colt, Daniel Defense or Bravo Company (BCM). You’ll pay a bit more, but you’ll get what you pay for, quality and reliability, built to spec.

Bushmaster has been making a piston driven ar-15 for years. The monkeys at Sog act like they made something revolutionary….. What a joke. And that girl looks like she has down syndrome.

Looks like a pile of other manufacturers parts on a generic ar-15 lower receiver that just happens to have been stamped with the red jacket logo. Not exactly earth shattering now is it.

They invented the DPMS RFA3-REC but it will cost you more than an ACR . Probably full of hand drilled holes and black spray paint.
“It will revolutionize the industry !”
I had high hopes for “Sons of Guns” , but these guys are clowns.

watched SoG and was like???!!!??? some of the stuff was just off the wall. their “mac-10″ version of the magpul FMG? look it has a “survival kit” um.. yeah.. i’ll pass.
now granted they are supposed to be pretty decent when it comes to AK/Saiga systems, but the show makes them look like.. well fools. they may have talent, but the production of SoG makes them look bad. I know i’d never buy anything from them.
as for the ar market? welcome to the past. seems like everybody and their uncle can get lowers now and slap on an upper and stock.
but that’s just me.

Yeah, I’ve had enough of Red Jacket and their useless junk. They do so much stupid crap on the show. The butchered m1919, The katana, the breaching saiga, and of course the fact that they have to paint everything black. Also the way they act all hardcore and serious on the show annoys the crap out of me. It is good for a laugh though.

I’ve watched the show and been to the website and these guys are awful. One of the guys had never heard of an M-203. And from what I can tell everything they sell is over priced. And their custom work has mostly already been done or should have never been attempted. I might be speaking for myself here but I’d prefer if TFB stuck to “real” firearms news and Didn’t give these anymore unneeded/undeserved attention.

I would go to Red Jacket to buy a guy like I would go to the cast of the Jersey shore to buy steroids. Red Jacket is a joke and disgrace to companies who are actually working to innovate within the industry. Red Jacket simply rips off designs, re-produces them with lesser quality and then charges you up the ass for them.

Oh look, yet another monolithic upper AR. How wonderful. After literally seeing thousands of ARs of all calibers, sizes, weights and accessory combinations, I am just not as enthusiastic about Americas favorite black rifle as others. I just have been over exposed to ARs to find them interesting anymore. I find that most of the ones a lot of people have now are just absolutely drenched in rails and have crap hanging off of them that will go unused. My ideal AR (If I were to ever buy one, which is a very, very slim chance.) would be Light, Laser, Iron sights. Nothing more or it wanders into mall ninja territory. I like AKs more than any AR on the market, aside from the Para TTR.
