lbsrdi 1,078 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Just a heads up, new episode tonight. I wish the show was more informative, then a soap opera. Hate it or love it, there are people here who watch it, thought I would give a heads up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bridis 319 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks for the heads up dude. I was wondering when it'd be back on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bridis 319 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 You're not missing it are you? Suppressing .50 cal tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 64 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The suppressed .50cal episode was really good!!! As for the Vince saga, I predict that he will return in later episodes and make things right with Will. Can't tell if this was a real conflict or staged drama, either way it does seem to add intrique to future episodes. Almost like a heavily armed soap opra. Although I tend to just focus on the guns, my wife actually gets drawn into these dramas. Perhaps the produces are using these dramas to maximize the viewing audiance. Not unheard of in reality TV. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bridis 319 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I predict that almost everything but the firearms is bullshit. Enjoy the show and the guns. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bridis 319 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Don't forget your weekly dose of SOG tonight at 9:00. Last week's episode reruns at 8:00. Watch it or be labeled a sissy-lolly-gobbler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caspian 32 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 it's getting hard to stomach. let a nubie run a $150K CNC on a time sensitive project then get upset when it crashes? seriously. either the producers are making you look really dumb, or...... the chatter among professional machinists is deafening. he show is about drama, relationships, and more drama. there is no shortage of people who want to say they own something made by someone on TV. that's the only explanation i can give as to why someone would still buy something after seeing the show. I sure wouldn't want to pay top dollar for a gun handed off to a first timer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drifter_ 3 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sad to see this show going the way of Pawn Stars with the scripted BS. That last show ending with the lineup of RJ's offerings was over the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I, for one, enjoy the show. It's one of the only "reality" shows that I do enjoy. It's got guns, people that made guns their lives, and some fairly decent action and drama, even if it is scripted. Besides that, it's one of our own business members, so I'll give that a +1. Some people just gotta understand that TV shows are scripted and edited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I'd like to see more info on the guns, their workings and what's being modified and less made up, obviously scripted stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Auto-Cannon episode did it for me, amazing that Will got there just in the nick of time, right I’d totally buy into that and only one cell phone with that many people. Seemed a little odd they never showed the ammo (that I remember seeing) and they were going to fire the gun that might blow up with a mag on it that was on loan from a museum. It was over scripted to the point of scrapped out. Oh well I guess you can’t watch South Park 24/7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltermitty 2 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I watch every new episode to see if anything strikes my fancy. If not, I change channels. I am glad there are shows which are firearms related and don't feel the need to turn it into a love/hate argument. I'd rather see similar programs, warts and all, than none at all and the media continue the direction of villifying firearms. This is a reality [sic] show, not a documentary, self help, educational broadcast. I'll continue to support (than not) Sons of Guns, Top Shot, American Guns, Tale of the Gun, etc. I hated that bald, whispering..... "remember-I-was-a-Navy-SEAL" guy but I still watched those episodes, too. Still better than Maury you-ARE-the-baby's-daddy! Povich, Kardashian, etc shows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guns Are Great 140 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) It should be more about the guns, how they are made, the designs, repairing, maintaining, and function of different popular firearms. Hot and cold bluing, Duracoting, etc.... The show is somewhat disappointing. If you wanna talk supression show how sounds are supressed by the supressor. Also, why and how making the barrel into tsuppressor is more effective than one on the end wof the barrel with OTC ammo. I also don't care for all the cop bs either these types of shows have. I do like the patriotism they seem to have. I embrace the law and support a good honorable and moral enforcement of it, including the death penalty being used with speed. However, Cops tend to be like a gang with very little checks or balances. They are opportunists and at a minimum 50% corrupt.

Bridis 319 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Another new episode of SOG is on tonight at 9:00. Looks like it'll be pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtrot Oscar 37 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 thanks for the heads up Bridis The drama is pretty stupid, I just want to see what it's really like to be in the gun business 'cause I'm really envious. Some of the information is a little dumbed down for views from the 'normal' non-gun-fanatics. I think the 'AK sniper rifle' episode they built out of a Saiga .308 and never even mentioned that it was chambered in 7.62 NATO/.308 Win rather than the original 7.62x39mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And how closely do you have be paying attention to catch that? I don't remember it, other than Vince saying he wanted to headspace it using a specific tool. Will overruled him and "eyeballed" it instead, (it obviously worked, so I'm not saying that Will was wrong to do that). What annoys me about the show is the constant dumbing down of terminology. I don't think it's necessary to refer to every Saiga rifle they work on as an "AK-47". It could be quickly and easily explained that Saigas are modern sporting variations on the AK design, legal to own for any non-felon in a free state. They seem to imply that to own anything in the shop requires NFA paperwork and that's just plain misleading. Anyway.... it's a decent show. It'd be a great show if Will were calling the shots. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warthog35F 11 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 The first season was half good then I stopped carrying and went back to the sportsman channel for my firearm shows oh you guys really need to stop the whole SOG thing that's a reputable blade and tool company.
