From Pawn Stars to Gun Stars?

IIRC he did state during the original discussion with the customer that the original masterkey was an 870 mounted on an M-16.

Of course, constantly referring to an M-4 (or M-4gery) as an "M-16" got a little annoying.

The guy is an experienced class III manufacturer and dealer; obviously he knows the difference.

It's almost certainly the producers in the background saying "people don't know what an M4 is, just call it an M16, they understand that".

Makes sense, kinda like how they had the subtitle on the first show that said "suppressor = silencer" even though it's not the correct term.

I don't actually have cable. Haven't for over 2 years now really. What I've seen was from the intarwebs and may have missed that nugget.

The most recent episode featured CWO4 Hershel W. Williams MoH... They refinished a WWII flame thrower for him and he fired it at age 87!!!

Here is his citation:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Demolition Sergeant serving with the First Battalion, Twenty-First Marines, Third Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, Volcano Island, 23 February 1945. Quick to volunteer his services when our tanks were maneuvering vainly to open a lane for the infantry through the network of reinforced concrete pillboxes, buried mines and black, volcanic sands, Corporal Williams daringly went forward alone to attempt the reduction of devastating machine-gun fire from the unyielding positions. Covered only by four riflemen, he fought desperately for four hours under terrific enemy small-arms fire and repeatedly returned to his own lines to prepare demolition charges and obtain serviced flame throwers, struggling back, frequently to the rear of hostile emplacements, to wipe out one position after another. On one occasion he daringly mounted a pillbox to insert the nozzle of his flame thrower through the air vent, kill the occupants and silence the gun; on another he grimly charged enemy riflemen who attempted to stop him with bayonets and destroyed them with a burst of flame from his weapon. His unyielding determination and extraordinary heroism in the face of ruthless enemy resistance were directly instrumental in neutralizing one of the most fanatically defended Japanese strong points encountered by his regiment and aided in enabling his company to reach its' objective. Corporal Williams' aggressive fighting spirit and valiant devotion to duty throughout this fiercely contested action sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

On the show he flat out stated that he ran back to his supply lines that day a total of six times for a total use of seven different flame throwers.

Best part is, during the show the owner of the shop said he was not interested in making a penny for the work, that the man had already paid off more debt than he will ever accrue in his eyes.

The episode after that... A guy, rather clean cut, walks in wanting a SBS... He looks at their Saiga with about a 10-12" barrel, looked like a krinkov to me. Anyways he says he is going on a hunting trip this coming weekend and would love to have it... Once the lady explains that the NFA process will take about 4 months, he asks about getting it this weekend again... When she reiterates it to him, he says thanks and never mind... I was screaming at the TV "That is a cop!!!"

Never mind that hunting with a NFA weapon is generally not legal in many states.

Watched for the first time last night and was screaming at the screen when they fired the Ma Deuce. If it fires single shot, you FORGOT headspace and timing. Then to fire tracer ammo in dry grass? I give it a meh.

LOL!!! I was doing the same thing (the FBI tried to recruit me for the CIA to go down to El Salvador and be a .50 cal instructor, for approx $2,000 a month and two weeks leave per year - NO THANKS)!! I kept yelling for them to find and use the "Go, No-Go Gauge" and never once saw them adjusting the barrel.

But the flamethrower show was great.

Dry grass? In Baton Rouge in springtime?

Seems to have caught pretty easily to me.

Phosphorous or magnesium tends to burn even wet grass.

Hell, I never even fired one and I knew that! Of course, I did have to go through the training, even got to sit behind one once but never got the chance to pull the trigger.

Also it has a switch for single shot under the butterfly trigger, if you like. No "aiming" is required, you're supposed to walk 'em in. Of course, that didn't stop GySgt. Hatchcock did it?

Did they lock the bolt release down?

Whoops, you said it already. (And you missed A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!)
