And if we could do a raffle of some kind and the proceeds goes the Mustang.

So a little update. Fort Tom contacted me and wants to throw up a Smith and Wesson M&P40 to raise money. An idea floated would be have 25-30 spots at $25 a spot. Draw a number and the winner will have the opportunity to buy the M&P for $1.
If we can get 30 spots filled, that would raise $750, which would get our total fundraiser over 1k.
The question is, is this something that would garner any interest? Can we get at least 25 slots filled?
This will come with 6 mags, and obviously have to ship to your FFL.
Thanks for your input.

I’d kick in a spot or two for that!

The urge to make a snarky comment about .40 is strong...
...but I'm in for spot or two. And tip of the hat to UW for getting this going and FT for stepping up.

Just one minor thing. I'm not quite sure how many mag's I have, 5 or 6. When I get home, I will count them and post. It's an M&P 40 with an APEX FSS trigger actually installed by Randy Lee at APEX. Also comes with TFO sights. I estimate the gun to be 95% but not lower than 90%. I believe the round count is approx. 200 through the gun, but actually think It's even lower, but I never keep track of those things. Anyway, it would be a hell of a deal for the price of a raffle ticket. I cannot ship hi-cap magazines to states that prohibit them.
Thanks to UW for setting this up for me. Hope it generates some seriously needed cash for one of our own going through hard times. Thanks and don't hesitate to start buying your tickets.
I thank you all for supporting one of our loyal members, and for UW's generosity with his time, which I suspect isn't real abundant to begin with.

I prefer Former11B’s idea of a dedicated classified thread. Buyer emails evidence of amount sent to Jason and donator mails item to buyer.
Might be tough getting 25-30 members interested in any one item. A fixed price listing would work if even one person wants it. Many of us already have too many different pistol mag platforms. At least six for me. I would rather not buy a chance at something I can’t use and then have the hassle of reselling.
Edit: NOT to say doing both is not a good idea.Last edited by Uffdaphil; 27 November 2018 at 19:05.

We could do both, but in this market, anything and everything seems to move slooooooooooooow, unless you're buying for a specific gun or project. Plus it's right after all the Black Friday sales. I'm guessing you guys bought whatever you wanted already.
Ultimately, I'm just down for whatever raises the most cash to help a brother out.
Thanks Guys.

This is an open auction. If you win a M&P for $25. even with your FFL charge for accepting it for you, you can sell it for a hell of a lot more than you paid and get something you'd rather have, or pocket the profit. Also, non-forum members can buy a spot. I don't really care, I'm just trying to get money in the hands of one of "our" brothers, especially before Christmas. I've already sent my $$ cash donation, and thought I could sweeten the pot a little more, this way. If I have any say in it, (which not being an Admin or Mod, I really don't) my preference would be to keep it in a simple raffle as UW described. At least for the donated M&P.

I'd be in for a slot. I'll also hit up a buddy of mine who is super into M&P's. May get another slot that way.
Edit: Well that didn't take long. He's in for a slot as well, so put me down for 2, with 2 different numbers or... however is easier for you.Last edited by Aragorn; 27 November 2018 at 21:57.
