The
Wyatts are your typical suburban family who just happened to own one of the
premiere firearms facilities in the world. Rich Wyatt and his wife Renee own
Gunsmoke, located outside Denver, Colorado, where they buy, sell and trade guns
- from hand cannons to hunting rifles. And if you don't see what you want,
they'll build one for you - from nothing more than a block of metal.
Gunsmoke
has the largest and most experienced group of gunsmiths in the state. When the
Wyatts aren't building or selling guns, they're shooting them. No gun leaves
their shop without being test fired by the family first.
Todays episode had them given the task of constructing a
winchester lever action shotgun for a biker who was also a fireman on 9/11 -
now retired. The request was somewhat unusual because he needed a shortened
barrel and wanted to be able to fire the gun whilst still riding ! The
gunsmiths took the task and created a special mount which he would slam the gun
into after pulling it from the holster on his back and he can then fire,reload
and ride simultaneously.
Of course there is a different mindset here in the Uk
compared to the USA when it comes to anything gun orientated so it did strike
me as incredible that at no point did anyone ask the question "why would
you want or need such a rig ? " lol It's kinda like everyone is living in
an action movie ! God Bless America !
