The Wyatts are your typical suburban family except they just happen to own one of the premiere firearms facilities in the world. Rich Wyatt and his wife Renee own Gunsmoke, where they buy, sell and trade guns. They -- and the one-of-a-kind and historic guns they make and sell -- are featured in the all-new series AMERICAN GUNS.

Well, am watching it now.. and to be honest the owner may have gotten more business by doing the show.. but I would avoid his shop from the attitude and rather.. cavalier gun handling from time to time

His elitist “custom is always better/faster etc” is a bit over the top. Custom often just means more expensive not a lot better

Using a Bible (even if fake) as gun storage is a bit..umm wrong.

Nope, mine is a brunette ;)

Shes not here much. Unlike the one on tanked. I expect my sale person to meet with my customers. Not call them.

And yes, they kill TONS of fish. The rumblings about them on the wholesale side are amazing. I am surprised ERI has not dropped them like others have.

The phone booth tank.. Shessh, a cleaning nightmare. 2’ wide, 2’ deep and over 6’ tall! It was on e-bay not long ago. It crashed, and crashed hard killing everything.

Skateboards on a tank? don’t get me started. I have had fish jump out of a tank because someone dropped a bucket of salt (50 lbs) on the floor.

Tanked is the new finding nemo. They bring people in to my shop with unrealistic ideas who won’t take no for an answer.

It may be tv magic, but the guy’s son looks like a darn good engraver.

Honestly, I leave the little ones. They are great cleaners. just don’t touch them (use vinegar if you do, melts the stinger)

You can pull the rock out and let it sit in the air for a bit. After 10-15 minutes they will start falling off the rock.

I’ve pulled some 24” long ones out of a guys tank using a 3ft long 2” wide PVC with the top of a 2 liter bottle at the end. Cut the top off, stick the cap end in the pipe and tape it on. Put some bait (food) in the tube.

About $7000 will get you a Linbaugh on a Ruger frame, and it won’t be their first one.

“Using a Bible (even if fake) as gun storage”

perhaps the cute blonde from that show will come over and help me with it.

then I could go buy a gun from another cut blonde?

I don’t really get these gun shows. The Top Shot one is ok though.

“admire anyone who can make something out of a hunk of metal”

Yup, some darn good skill there. I can’t do it.
