Not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers, but I hate that "show". All it does is give gun owners and REAL gunsmiths a bad name.
A "specialty" gun shop that doesn't own a depth micrometer? Really?
A shop OWNER that doesn't know what a depth micrometer IS? Seriously???
Same shop owner declaring on national TV that chambering a match grade barrel is simple. "This stuff is S-I-M-P-L-E!!!"
(With the standard disclaimer of course - "don't try this at home folks...") Whaaaaaa???
I had heard so many incorrect / misleading / BS statements come out of their mouths, it makes me crazy that they allow this drivel to continue. And from what I seen them produce on camera, they are a bunch of hacks IMO. I haven't seen a weld yet that didn't look like it was done by a 10 year old.
Sorry for the personal rant, and it will be my one and only post on the subject.
Admin/mods feel free to delete if you wish. That one just hits a raw nerve with me. :-[
I also got a queasy feeling as you did. What a shame that they are constantly misrepresenting to the public
the seriousness and technical skills that our interests require and express daily.
I hope someone on the show hears our angst and raises the level of quality.
Perhaps in real life they are not so cavalier and 'Deliverance' banjo players.
Smart man, hard work, excellent subject matter, Will, please have more input into the cutting
and pasting of the show's production.
