Discovery Channel and Red Jacket Firearms

Please see here for “Sons of Guns” which follows Will Hayden and his company; Red Jacket, is taken as the nation’s most wonderful and different weapons business”.

    Red Jacket says “If you can dream it, we can build it”, the nation’s most unique weapons business. The owner of Red Jacket Will Hayden and his crew of Baton Rouge, Louisiana gunsmiths and historians daily face the challenge on Discovery Channel’s world premiere series SONS OF GUNS, creating one weapon and the other. The show fires off on Wednesdays at 9PM ET/PT, starting January 26.

    Will is a straight shooter as well as an avid historian, trusted expert to take on the requests of Red Jacket’s major clients that include law enforcement apparatus, military and collectors. From guns to knives to swords to cannons, Will sells, trades, buys, builds and customizes all. Most of the weapon manufacturers are making attachable silencers for AK-47′s; however, Will looks at it in a unique way by creating internal silencers that help the police officials to create even more stealth in dangerous situations. Even if someone needs to restore a WWII flamethrower in order to make it operational, Will can do that too. And when the sheriff’s department needs to combine two guns, a shotgun and a rifle, into one, Will can do that as well.

    Will’s Red Jacket shop is the core point for SONS OF GUNS, located in the heart of the Louisiana bayou. You can see that when Will isn’t rebuilding an old rifle brought back from Vietnam War or using his treasure of historic weaponry knowledge to determine to recreate an attic or an antique weapon, he is found in his shop with his daughter Stephanie and the rest of his team, gossiping with his customers. Viewers will catch the Red Jacket team always finding time to have some fun on SONS OF GUNS whether it is having a lunch break shooting contest, a nighttime bayou bow fishing trip or field testing of fully automatic M2 .50 caliber machine gun.

    Jupiter Entertainment has produced SONS OF GUNS exclusively for Discovery Channel. Stephen Land is executive producer, with Patrick Leigh-Bell and Stephanie Buxbaum as co-executive producers. For Discovery Channel, Dolores Gavin is executive producer.
