Guys, Can we really let this happen? I can spare
the cost of a meal for Tim...say 16 bucks or twenty. Can someone else help out ? I couldn't get a LEGP and I'll be damned if someone like Tim has to give his up. Tim....I have a mountain bike that you can have buddy. hound(Joe Dirtbag) |

I was going to buy it from him before, but then I got naughty and picked up a pistol from someone else and blew my gun money. I'd throw in for this as well!

What did we do with the [b]Brothers in Arms[/b] funds?
Sounds like a good cause to me, though it could be argued that Tim is trying to solve his own problems before relying on welfare. |
|
Same here.
Is there anyway that we could pool our resources together to purchase the weapons, and give them to Anti on a permant loan basis? Would keep him from selling them [:D] |

I'm in
If we have some Brothers in arms funds left I also vote that we use some of that since Tim did so much work on the LEGP for us! |
|
I'll throw $20 in the pot. Give me an addy to which to mail an MO.
|
|
I am in as well.
We all need a helping hand sooner or later (God knows I have been there). Tyler |
|
Im in for $20, goatboy, can you email me please, I need an addy.
|
|
Guys, I think it's time for Tim's creation to serve it's master. I think this qualifies for the "Brothers in Arms" fund. Opinions?
|
|
Don -- I agree with that 100%.
I can think of no one more deserving at this point! If it's not too much trouble, G&B should set up a separate account or paypal account for folks to contribute to directly. |
|
I had a chance to chat with him the other night and I think this is a no-brainer. If we can't help each other here, what the hell is there? I'm in for $50.00. Just give me a PayPal acct. or addy. I'm leaving for the weekend, so please "pin" something up next week. Thanks!

Hell, I don't know Tim.....
...didn't buy a LEGP (gettin' married soon).... put me in for $20 too.... [:D] Bulldog Out |
|
About how much does a new bike cost now a days because if we just send the money to someone near him they buy the bike then give it to him that would be great.
|
|
is tim selling a rifle to buy a road bike?
yo, tim...i'll through in a pair of my old chanois lined lycra team shorts!!! i think the brown marks will come out! where do we send the money? jeez, i own 18 road racing bikes. i otta just sell him one of mine! (but...nooooooooo! tim has to have carbon fibre! good old columbus slx double butted and rifled chrome molybdenum tubing from italy isn't good enough for him! lol!!) |
|
I know what it's like to need something, and having to sell something you love to get it.
That's wrong, and if your brother in arms can't help you, then this world is fucked. . . . [img]http://wsphotofews.excite.com/034/Th/sI/bc/6A64245.jpg[/img] . . After the tuition I just paid, rent, and my water bill, it's all I got to last me for the next 2 weeks, but you can have $4.00 of it. |
|
This really does sound like a good use for the Brothers in Arms fund. Someone please post the status of that fund?

Quoted: Somebody email me the address please. Tim's a mensch. View Quote I don't know what a "mensch" is, but it sounds as though he needs a bit of an attitude adjustment, so now might be a good time, him having just had surgery and pretty much unable to fight back. LOL Guys, I move we make this happen by sending the $$ and he will have to take it as he cannot track us all down to give it back. Whoever buys his rifles gets his ass kicked in a full blown "blanket party." Whoever can, please give us an address or whatever. Is G&B the one to handle it? I will be gone this weekend, but will hold up my end on Mon. Who else is in [b]for sure?[/b] |
|
I've got a post going selling auto knives, I am going to donate $5.00 from every sale. Please let me know where to send the money.
|
|
In case I miss a post that gives out the info count me in... Email me [email protected] once someone sets up a place to send the $$$!! I'll throw in at least $20..

It really moves me to see so many "good" people in this world. I am in, tell me where/who to send $$ to.
I hope someone takes charge of this effort and makes it happen, there seem to be a lot of people serious about helping. |
|
I'm in for $20. If Tim sells the guns, someone's gonna have to bitch slap him!
Sorry Tim, you can't sell'em. Besides, how will you protect your road bike with no AR's? |
|
I'm in for twenty as well. Just say where and when. Paypal or a cc# would sure be a hell of alot easier than a money order.

Quoted: Just mail the man a check! View Quote What address? If you know please post here. |
|
GoatBoy, I suggest you psot an addy here in the GD forum. I'll give what I can. Lords knows I have been in similar situations and it flat out sucks!!

consider me in as well. Also send him the money from the brothers in arms fund!! Damnit that's what it was intended for!! How much is in there anyway?
mike |
|
I'll put in $20 too. That LEGP is the sweetest thing I've shot in a long time. It's the least I can do to say thanks to Tim.
Grin / Goatboy - is someone collecting funds or should we just mail to Castle Arms? |
|
Sell the LEGP???
Bullshit!!!! Where do I send my donation to help this man out? |
|
If he was selling the windrunner, then I could see the man in trouble. [;)]

I asked Goatboy and Don R. to set up a special paypal account to handle this.
Once we have everything set up, I'll pin this note to the top and post the info here. Also.. the "Brothers in Arms" fund should be built up after this event in the event that another one of our "family" needs assistance in the future. THIS is what it's all about ! |
|
I hope there will be an address set up for those that are uncomfortable using PayPal so they can mail donations.

I doubt he is selling #s 3 & 4 to buy a bike, even if he does want to get back in shape after he heals up from the operation.
He will have a fair amount of uncovered medical expenses plus real estate taxes to pay. The Brother's in Arms fund is still intact. Ed, ED Sr & I are overseeing it. We want to make it available to members in need so we would prefer to give out only 10-20% of the fund at a time to a member in need. If any of you want to use a credit card on Castle Arm's website ordering page, you can still donate to the Bros In Arms fund but earmark the entire donation for Tim's medical expenses. Just put a comment in the Billing Address box to that effect. Or can mail a check to Castle Arms address, payable to Tim Greene - NOT Castle. I think this would be the best way. |

Grin&Barrett:
Thanks for the info. Wife and I'll put a check out on Monday morning. |
|
I think...we should all pitch in any buy his LEGP from him.
Then send it right back to him. I dont really know whats going on, but nobody should lose a rifle. Ill throw something in as well. |

Let me play Satcong for a minute here...
The road is long with many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where, who knows when But I'm strong--strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother So on we go--his welfare is my concern No burden is he to bear--we'll get there For I know he would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother If I'm laden at all--I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another It's a long, long road from which there is no return While we're on our way to there Why not share? And the load--it doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother He ain't heavy. He's my brother "He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother" (Bob Russell/Bobby Scott) |

Hey Guys....
ANTI must keep those damn guns. It's principle ! Never give up a firearm unless it's to your kids... [:D] Especially since he conceived the whole project and worked so damn hard on it for all of us! [b] Please Go Ahead and Visit : [url]www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=46963[/url] [/b] |
|
Why doesn't Anti setup a Paypal account so we can simply send him money online and save a stamp?

Done - funds sent. Tim - use them in what ever way helps the most! This is not charity, it is solidarity.
