Benelli M4 Shotgun with Xrail System by Red Jacket Firearms

Just saw the Sons of Guns episode featuring the Benelli M4 build and the end result blew my mind!  Red Jacket not only enhanced the M4---they revolutionized it as a performance line shotgun with an adjustable buttstock, a left-sided heavy charging handle,  a vertical foregrip on a railed fore-end, and an extended mag capacity with the Xrail system!  But that's not all they did.  Will Hayden, went out of the box and came out with full auto 12 gauge unit with a mojo break (a shotgun muzzle break that Joe designed) that controlled recoil and  in the process improve accuracy---something that a normal shotgun don't have (especially on rapid fire)!

This is one sweet, devastating weapon system!

Sons of Guns


Other than cars and beautiful women, I also love GUNS!  Naturally, it was a given that the new reality show Sons of Guns caught my attention and I was instantly glued!

The show chronicles the daily business of Will Hayden and his Red Jacket Firearms in Baton Rougue, Louisiana.  Red Jacket is a custom gun shop who has established itself as a major resouce for AK47 enthusiasts.  Their expertise in this type of assault firearm platform comes to fore in episode 6 when they incorporated a suppressor system in an AK47---something that was deemed impossible until Red Jacket made it a reality.  They are innovators in the field of gun restoration/modification may it be old or new.  They've put to life an 1800's cannon, a World War 2 flame thrower and bazooka, and even gave the classic Tommy Gun it's modern look.

Their motto, "if you can dream it, we can build it".

For a crew of 7, Red Jacket is one productive unit!
