Glenn 'Flem' Flemmings (EX- Red Jacket) new site, updates on status.

[Acera]

Don't know how many are still watching the program Sons of Guns , but one of the more poplar guys has left and started his own business. Due to contract restrictions, just got ok to post, tweet, etc. tonight about it.

His company: Acadiana Gunworks

Facebook posting explaining it: https://www.facebook.com/permalink....113&id=204638072883094&ref=notif&notif_t=like

His youtube channel where he is doing drama free gun videos: ThegunnersVault



If you want to follow the first guy that left them a while back, Vincent Buckles, here is his site.Mesa Kinetic Research

At least he's doing it with style - no badmouthing, in fact sincere appreciation for RJF, and simply choosing a different path - all the best to him!

 

[Jakashh]

Been subscribed to him on YouTube for quiite a while. I saw that he started his own shop a few months ago. Real cool guy, he has commented back and answered questions I asked before.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Whaaaaat-flem left too? Damn. Red Jacket is hurting.

I checked out his blog and youtube-that dude is one class act. :thumbup:

 

[subseashooter]

Which one is Flem?

 

[RetArmySgt]

Flem left, Kris and Steph are leaving, and the episode tonight looked like Joe was cleaning out his office too.

 

[cbigclarke]

Very interesting him saying "now i write my own scripts"

Flem was good - but his departure will NOT be a major blow. Chris an' Steph ain't leaving, they've said before that the other business won't require that. Haven't had a chance to watch last night's show yet, so not sure what Joe may/may not be up to. Ya'll have to remember - RJF has an entire other facility dedicated to turnin' out their primary production guns - what we see is but their R&/Special Projects/TV Crap/Main Office. There's plenty of very capable folks waitin' in the wings.

I really can't believe the money problems things. Especially that this last season was filmed during the panic. Those guys are driving some high dollar vehicles this year, and they just opened their retail store. Probably just scripted drama.

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

Probably scripted. Admittedly, I thought the show was more interesting this season. /shrug

I missed last night's episode on accident, though.

 

[majormadmax]

Hmmmmm.....SoG sounds eerily like it's following in the footsteps of American Chopper....

Flemmings was previously a USAF MH-53 PAVE LOW (long-range CSAR helo) gunner.

Yeah, thats probably why they'd be suffering financial problems

 

[TexasRedneck]

Think again.....they sold 'em for what - a tad over 50k? That was another "amp it up situation" for mo' drama.

haha i actually didn't watch the show. i was just joking.

 

[NeckBeard]

made the mistake of watching the show for the first time in months yesterday. Pure drama.

It would help to understand the local Lafayette, LA, firearms market. Since the venerable Bell's Sporting Goods quit handling firearms some ten or so years ago; the "Acadiana" area has been underserved. Remaining gun shops included "Barney's", north of town, a favorite of LEO's; the high-priced & haughty Lafayette Shooter's Supply (Mark-ups ABOVE MSRP's, anyone ?); and the long-flagging "Custom Gun Works", which ruined my J P Sauer doublegun back in the early 1970's. The new deal involved a buy-out of Custom Gun Works, many improvements, and now, a natural expansion. Southside Lafayette was starved for a reasonably-priced alternative with a REAL gunsmith. The new, improved business will be very, very welcome.

What do you bet that they want you to think it's crashing down, then in the first episode next year it will show him moving into a brand new office.

How could they not have made money in the last year during this panic? I now see their labeled stuff everywhere. Academy had their AR branded magazines overflowing the racks.

 

[TheDan]

Which one is Flem?

He's the one that's cool and collected and can actually build stuff. I'm surprised they even put him on TV since he's not a hot-head or a screw up

 

[deemus]

I know you were joking, but if they just opened a retail facility, they really might have financial issues. Buildouts ain;'t cheap, and then you have to man the store and stock it. I have seen stores go out of business in less than six months before. You would think they would have killed it over the last half year, but its possible they could have gotten in over their heads. Would not be the first time.

That would make sense; but they are getting nice pay checks from that show
