Comparing apples and hand grenades here. Collateral damage and the premeditated murder of civilians is very different.

I give Glenn points for doing the right thing. It's still Hershel's home and Glenn has enough integrity to respect that. I believe it will make Maggie respect him even more. Did you see the smile on her face as he walked away? And, I think that maybe Glenn will pick up the torch that Dale left behind and become the group's conscience. Dale apparently had a profound effect on him.

I'm having 8 bud lights right now while doing the Laundry and cleaning house. In about 3 hrs I am gonna cook some Mahi Mahi "Tennessee style" by rolling it in cornmeal and deep frying it !

Wheres the tactical bacon? Im disappointed

I'm going to jump in here for RJF and make some excuses for them. Even though I am a critic of theirs we need to realize they are exposing the country to firearms and exposure removes the scariness for some. They have no doubt brought people into the firearms community that never would have joined. First they were AK guys, that is all they did and were very well respected for doing it. And for a long time that is all they knew. And then somewhere along the line, no doubt the producers recommendation, they get into AR's. To them their AR might be new and novel because they have never dealt with AR's before. And one more thing, diversification is a good thing. They are getting into a market that is getting ready to go full retard again like in November of 2008. And as far as anything that is not an AK being built on the show it is the producers that are steering the decision to build it. And think about this, there are very few true custom shops and they are now one of them. I am lucky in that Predator Custom shop is indeed that, a true custom shop. They will build anything, no matter how far out of the norm, and jump headlong into as if it were their own. Now onto the particular model that is being sold at Academy. It is Academy that sets that price. Let me say it again, Academy sets the selling price not Red Jacket. Yes you can get comparables for cheaper right now but not for long. We are heading into the days of $1,500 basic carbines and anything remotely decked out being $2,500. It is worth $1,200? To somebody it is and that somebody is probably taking into account the name and the television show. Just that same way most Leupold owners pick their optics for the first time, because of the name. Ot those who drive a Escalade when a Yukon is the same under all the glitz. As far as the paperwork screw up it happens. Any shop that hasn't had an issue with its books at some point either hasn't been in business very long or hasn't sold a lot of firearms. The screw up might have been during an inspection or just some screw up someone at the shop caught before the ATF inspected. Now those screw ups might not be a lost firearm but errors on the books does happen to most. And to those who think billet is better it is not. It just looks different. It is milled out of a single block of aluminum. Standard lowers are forged which makes for a harder, more durable lower. And with everything being CNC anymore a standard forged lower is going to be just as in spec as a billet lower. And remember this, milspec is the minimum standard and a billet lower does not meet it. Billet lowers are not forged. There is a reason for it. Do I like billets? Yes I do but billet is not better than forged. Just a few thoughts Dolomite

I completely disassembled the gun, there are good instructions here: http://myweb.cableone.net/leolani/cz-82-disassembly.html I stripped the original finish by blasting with medium grit aluminum oxide. The only other physical metal prep I did was lightly softening the trigger guard edges with a fine needle file before blasting. They were somewhat sharp. I treated the bare metal with K-Phos 4000 Cold Phosphate followed by KG Gun Kote 2400 in flat black and brushed stainless applied by airbrush. These are heat-cured finishes (I used an old toaster oven). The CZ-75 mag baseplates fit with zero modification.

It will be difficult to tell a judge you were protecting someone's life when you can't see them and possibly could have killed or wounded them by shooting thru a door. It was a stupid, irresponsible mistake, not an attempt to commit a crime.

My thing is I havent seen Red Jacket do anything with AR's or AK's(For the most part) other than change some parts out here and there or modify a gas system, stamp their emblem on it and charge a ton for it. I wouldnt buy one of their products because I think the company is cheap I mean am I the only one who watched the TV show at all??? They acted like they had no clue as to how to assemble an AR for the episode where they went to Vegas, I mean I could understand if they were infact machining all of their own parts from scratch in house,but they were simple putting one together and were acting like it was rocket science. I mean they have a 50 BMG Upper for an AR lower on their website that is suppressed and they are wanting over $4,000 for it,or their Gas Piston AR is $2,500...maybe its just me but I would go with an HK,Barrett,LWRC,LMT if Im going to be spending that kind of money. And yes Will did lose his FFL, the company was made into a LLC that was shared by 3 of the employees one of whom left, and the reason he lost his FFL is 2 or so firearms were "Stolen" and they said they "Threw Away" some recievers rather than disposing of them properly.

None of the above. Turn down the job and stay in a free state!

Yeah but if me and you starred in a zombie flick, where would the drama and suspense be? I mean, what's entertaining about two rednecks sitting on the roof with a few thousand rounds and a half dozen rifles? Coleman cooler, a loaf of fresh bread baked in a dutch oven earlier that morning to make sandwiches out of that thin sliced deer we smoked two days ago and a twelve pack of beer chilling in a Zeer. Solar powered iPod playing the Zepplin box set. A few hours later we pack up and move to the next location. ....yes, I've thought about it many a time.

Of COURSE we are! Don't be crazy. But, dislike it for a valid reason, like they build crappy merchandise. To me, having a TV show hardly constitutes a "valid reason."

I understand that! I look at a Fender Telecaster today... still the same routed out blocks of wood with wires run through 'em that I bought new for $250... and can't figure out why they're $2,000 these days.
