red stick and red jacket were the same company and kicked off the sons of guns show, ive built hundreds if not thousands of ak variants from demil parts kits and new parts, was always part time till i got burned out and quit red jacket, we'd already did the network pilot and i was liked so i came back when i could get away from german auto for tv stuff but because i wasn't there every day i guess the brass decided to limit my camera time as most of the time something i did/built and was filmed doing and had lines for got recast by someone else by time it aired, meh tv is a huge pain in the ass. the business is still running under a different name by joe https://www.aklysdefense.com/ as aklys defense and meaux guns https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en...jXBtEQoioIfzAK charley my buddy is still involved too, the whole thing was amusing and if i had run with it full time i would've been an original cast member and part of the industry from the contacts created, if's and but's....... got to meet a few cool people and play with some fun toys, jessie james was a cool dude (big dude too, shaking hands is like grabbing onto a catchers mitt) and a normal guy
