I havent dealt with them, but wouldnt a local gunsmith be a lot better for this sort of thing than Red Jacket. They seem like they have gotten a little to big for their britches due to the show. Also seems like this would be small fry to them now. What you are asking is very basic. Or do you just want to have something that Red Jacket worked on? If that be the case seems like it doesnt really matter what others feel, if thats what you want to brag about just do it. |
I can even overcharge you too

I would not let these guys change the spark plug on my Snapper rider. This is a true story, I saw it with my own eyes: A bunch of guys at work got together for a group buy for a "RJF" modified Siaga shotgun group buy, I was at the range with them and 75% of them jammed, would not cycle...no joke...needless to say they were not happy after dropping $1000 a piece for them.

I would never spend $1.00 with those goofballs. They have no machining skills whatsoever. It's like they just slap a bunch of stuff together and hope that it works.
Did anyone see that lunchbox/briefcase sub gun they built? Probably the worst thing I have ever seen come out of a "machine shop". The only cool thing they have done is shoot that big brass canon. Later B |

I'm interested in anyone that has experience with them... I'm about ready to pull the trigger on an AK style 12 gauge shotgun (RTS-12CG).

| If you're wanting to build a smooth running AK type 12 gauge check out Tromix in Broken Arrow, OK. I shot one of their 8" (Yes, that is a 8 inch barrel!) Saiga 12 gauge guns a couple of years ago and it ran great. 5 poppers in 1.9 seconds and it wasn't even my gun. |

Saiga 12 gauge guns a couple of years ago and it ran great. 5 poppers in 1.9 seconds and it wasn't even my gun. Unfortumately, Tromix has a huge backlog right now. Tony did one of my S-12s way back before the wait got so bad, and I love it. I "won the lottery" the first of last month and got in an order for him to another S-12 for me... he said he'd be e-mailing me to send it in some time around November.  OP, not to  but find a local (or "semi-local") shop to handle something that basic.  |

I have dealt with them on several occasions, and they do good work, BUT now that they have the show and national exposure, I would not recommend them for something as minor as cutting and crowning a barrel. It is possible to do the job yourself with hand tools and achieve good results, but if you arn't mechanically inclined, I'm sure there are people closer to home that could do the job quicker and cheaper than Red Jacket. ETA: It's not that hard to do it yourself. |
