Paying it Forward Serviceman.

[M-61]

I'm in for $50.00. PM where to send funds. First time I seen this.
Don Dunlap

Me too, meaning 1st time I’ve seen this. Read further down it was in FB. I’m not a member or whatever FB calls it so I’d never see it.
Any chance you could give a brief idea of what was posted there?
If it is to help a serviceman it goes without saying I’m in, just would like a bit more knowledge of this.
Thank you

The first of the serviceman rifles is finally in his hands. His name is Nathan, and he is back from deployment with the Navy from the Persian Gulf.
His rifle is a Savage 11 in 223, Douglas barrel, in a Boyd's stock.
He put some rounds downrange today, and the rifle works great.
Again, many thanks to:
Terry Balding
Stan Taylor
Greg Sidden
Zack Donovant
Bob Callender
Mark Duncan
Rick Helton
And to all who support our military, and this site.

Congrats to the young squid! Let him know, if he needs someone to show him how to shoot it, this old Marine can show him a thing or two!!!
Really happy for him! He earned it!!!
Thanks to all that had a part in this! True Americans!

Thanks EOD Rob.
You will be glad to know that at today's gathering, we had not only the fine young Sailor, but also a Vietnam Army veteran, and a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant in attendance.
It was a great day at the range.

Victor Prato…I posted his bio a few pages back. He was a Sapper with me in the 1st BDE, 82nd. He’s a mech engineer, Princeton football alumni, and was wounded in AFG in Nov 2017. He recently moved to Texas, and his goal is to shoot a mile. He has a tikka T3 TACT in 6.5CM with a luepold LRP. He’s been shooting that, but was interested in a boomer. Terry made that dream a reality and I’m insanely grateful.

A worthy recipient for sure. Good job all!

Since Victors build changed to an Edge, these are up for sale to the highest reasonable bid on a (PM). Or trade for Edge dies. Will list in classified also.
Thanks
