I don't think they are issue USMC sniper rifles. As the title says, they are Replica rifles.

 

[DBailey]

Yep it says replica.
Mr Depp is on the level. No doubt about that what so ever!

I purchased my ticket online to help a worthwhile organization. I also purchased raffle tickets from the semper fidelis foundation at the local fishing show this spring in Schaumburg, IL. Posted this raffle in all the maintenance areas at work. Thanks to all for their Service so that we may enjoy all of our freedoms.

The add states that it was made by them on their own time, and does not state where.

At about this same time last year (2014) the USMC Scout/Sniper Association had a similar raffle to raise
money. Although it was a different rifle at that time the purpose of the raffle was the same. There was an article on the February 19th, 2014 Accurate Shooter.com Daily Bulletin that listed the information about that rifle and the raffle. I bought a ticket last year and plan on doing the same this year. I think it is a worthy cause.

They need to accept PayPal.

They need to accept PayPal.

PayPal is a pain in the butt for non profit organizations. They have to submit documentation to prove not for profit status.

 

[BobDepp]

How does a "not for profit" veterans organization, with NO affiliation to the United States government procure USMC sniper rifles ??? You don't have the capability to obtain a copy of a DD214, Marine Corps graduation certificate, or access to the FOIA, but are able to acquire sniper rifles from the DOD :

....an understandable point of concern and curiosity, JRS. The individual components were donated to the Assn from the individual sources utilized in fabricating the MARCOR weapons. That said, this rifle IS NOT a MARCOR rifle, but a replica thereof....built in like-fashon by off-duty armorers on personal time in a kind expression of gratitude to those Marine scout/snipers, and their young families, who've sacrificed their lives in service to OUR country. All participation is much-appreciated! Semper fi -
