I'm still convinced this show was hatched by left wing anti's to make gun owners look stupid.

Nah, it was hatched to make money by making gun owners look stupid. Same thing that all reality TV does to the group they are portraying.

Okay, Back from Shot Show in Vegas.

Saw their RJA Jeep on the SHot Show floor at the Enidine Booth after the close of the show.

1. Game Chaing rifle has an Admas Arms kit.
2. Won't run on CAR buffer? Has to have CUSTOM, specially made Hydraulic Buffer to to run.
3. The Magic, custom Buffer made specifically for RJA's Game Changing uppers is actually . . . . Get this . . . ready . . . .a MGI buffer. I have one. I prefer the ITT Enidine buffer.

Did anyone catch the rail? Was that a Seekins Rail on that custom, RJA AR15?

Love the wedding bells drama and Vince finally having enough of the bullshit and leaving.

so the game chaing rifle

Saw a Red Jacket AR at Academy this weekend... $1,199.99
It looks like a standard M4gery with MOE furniture. What am I missing?

It's a game changer. To bad you can't see that

Personally I just laugh, I mean you work at a custom gun shop and you can't take apart an AR.

 

[recordingwhiz]

There wil be plenty of peeps that will buy that $700 gun for $1200 just because of the name.

let them. thats more Black rifles out there than not.

Some fun with numbers.................

From Academy you can buy a S&W M&P15 Sport - $650

From Midway USA order:
MagPul MOE Pistol Grip - $20
MagPul MOE Handguard - $28.50
MagPul CTR Buttstock - $76
MagPul MBUIS - $55
MagPul PMag - $14.20

Total - - $843.70

$1,199.99 - $843.70 = $356.29 ----> Estimated price of a Red Jacket Logo.


Know what they say about fools and their money.......................................

Did you check out the internals of the RJ AR at Academy? Just wondering if they did anything to it or just another M4 forgery. Who knows maybe it'll be a collectors item one way when the company goes belly up.

Anyone catch the episode where a customer needed a HOG AR and they build a 458 SOCOM with "supressor" ? and just gave it to the customer. Didn't look like 6 months to me. can someone explain ?

They were with the customer so technically it was still in RJF's possession. The customer wouldn't be allowed to take the suppressor home until the paperwork cleared. Similar thing when they manufacture machine guns (ie Gatling shotgun, etc.) for non-LEO or MIL customers but they would never be able to take it home. An officer of the manufacturer would have to be with them every time they take it out.

No, I didn't. I had "heard" that the bolt carrier was NiB coated, but if it is they aren't advertising it (leads me to believe it isn't). Still wouldn't justify the $300 premium over the S&W sitting right next to it. From their website:

The Red Jacket Firearms KMP 5.56mm Semiautomatic Rifle features semiautomatic action with a 30-round magazine capacity. The rifle is designed with an M4 profile chrome-lined barrel, a polymer stock with an MOE pistol grip and fore-end and a hard chrome firing pin. The rifle is fully stress relieved and surface hardened, and the gas tube is ferritic nitrocarburized for heat and corrosion resistance.

I went to Academy in Humble today and looked at a tan colored one. Not overly impressed, good looking gun though. It looked like any number of members guns on here who have chosen MagPul for their furniture (Like I did). The sales guy would not let me "shotgun" it to check the internals, but everything else on the gun looked almost identical to the other ARs they had on their shelves. It seems to be getting a lot of interest, another guy was looking at it before I walked up.

It now appears that Brownells sells Red Jacket parts now as well.
