LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Red Jacket Firearms loads up “Son of Guns”, the new Discovery reality show; but Red Jacket Firearms founder Will Hayden doesn’t believe his show will ever become another American Chopper. Red Jacket Firearms is a Baton Rouge-based family operation headed by Will Hayden that works on fascinating old and new firearms. And while the show may bare a similar structure to American Chopper, behind the scenes the family is nothing like the Teutuls with everyone getting along … at least for now.
On Wednesday night, the Silver Spring based cable operator, Discovery Channel, premiered its latest entry, Son of Guns. As Discovery explains in new statement recently released, the show is set in the Red Jacket shop (website: redjacketfirearms.com) located in Louisiana bayou. Fan and news reaction to the show last night was overwhelming.
“When Will isn’t rebuilding a “bring-back” rifle from the Vietnam War or using his wealth of weapon history knowledge to determine if a pistol found in the attic is an antique or not, he can be found in his shop with his daughter Stephanie and the rest of his team, swapping gossip with his customers” says Discovery.
Discovery (NASDAQ: DISCA) explains to news that its show will appeal to history buffs and firearm fans. “Whether it’s having a lunch break shooting contest, going on a nighttime bayou bow fishing trip or field testing a fully automatic M2 .50 caliber machine gun, viewers will catch the Red Jacket team always finding time to have some fun on SONS OF GUNS.”
The show’s star Will Hayden will be seen working on items for law enforcement and even collectors. He won’t just recondition old items, but customize them as well, and the items will not just be firearm but also knives, swords, and even cannons. “If someone needs to restore a WWII flamethrower to make it operational, Will can do that too. And when the sheriff’s department needs to turn two guns – a shotgun and a rifle – into one, they call Will.”
