Remington and the US Army are Surplussing and Raffling off 4,000 M24 Sniper Rifles
http://www.guns.com/remington-and-the-us-army-are-surplussing-and-raffling-off-4000-m24-sniper-rifles.html
They'll be taking 2,000 of these capable (and pre-customized by the soldiers who carried them) sniper rifles andselling them on a first-come, first-serve basis, with priority given to military snipers, active and reserve duty military, retired military, and law enforcement, respectively.
Flyer for .mil and leo folks
Raffle Flyer
Two thousand more will be raffled off, $5 gets you one ticket, $20 gets you five, and a benjamin gets you thirty tickets. All proceeds will go to the Fisher House Foundation, which provides comfort homes for wounded soldiers and their families, for free.
Anyone know where to buy the tickets for the raffle?

The Fisher house is a very worthy charity. When I was recovering from my wounds at WRAMC, my wife stayed at the Fisher House. I can not adequately put into words how much this simple bit of lodging and family assistance helped my mental and physical recovery. My wife and very small children were able visit with me on a regualr basis and I was able to convalesce and go to therapy w/o the addeed stress of wpndering where my family could stay in the DC area.

The raffle is only for ONE gun. It says so in the flyer. One out of 2000 will be raffled off, the other 1999 will be sold, and with no priority given to civilians.

Except the flyer says "This raffle is for the very first system of this production run" with the raffle flyer saying "Less than 2000 of these will be for sale". It doesnt say "This raffle is for 2000 rifle systems" |

McMillan just did the same thing a while back with their old Vietnam sniper rifles. They rebuilt the rifles on original stocks with whatever end user modifications the soldiers made for sling mounts, etc. they sold out fast
