I’m not qualified to handout awards so I’ll give you a round of applause.
This. Plus they are some GREEDY sob’s, saw an episode where they charged a rancher 14,000 for an American made “custom” yellow boy rifle!!
An Uberti cost 1,400.
What a complete ripoff.
I agree with everything said about this AR and these cable shows, but this thread has turned into something that should not be in a technical section of M4C IMHO.
Which is what every thread that mentions Red Jacket et al. turns into. That is, something not worthy of an M4C technical thread.:nono:
Guys I know that you can get a probably better rifle than this like a DD (Hence why I have one) or colt/bcm/lmt/noveske etc.
And yeah I know good and well the the $999 bushmaster we sell is grotesquely overpriced but it aint my shop, thats just what the company sells it for. It kills me every time I sell one to a guy who doesnt know any better, and believe me I have had several customers who will tell me straight to my face that “It dont get much better than Bushmaster when it comes to ARs”. And by the way, the sticker price on the red jacket gun isnt what’s listed on their website.
I agree that the show is pretty ridiculous to guys that know about good quality weapons but I gotta tell ya, we are getting a lot of customers who have never even shot a gun or owned one coming in to look at/buy guns because it looks like fun on shows like sons of guns/american guns/top shot. I appreciate the networks letting shows like these on the air to get more positive interest in the industry.
I’d like to put a few thousand rounds through this gun to see if the quality is there, but I guess they wont let me. But like I said before, as far as the checklist of things to look for in/on a quality rifle goes, this one looks pretty good. However, inspecting the buffer today, I cant tell what it is because the buffer itself is all black with a big silver RJF logo on it. 
This is not a tech thread and just like Tons of Dumb, this one needs to die a quiet death somewhere.
