There are over 9000 people on here right now. If only half sent $10, that would bring us close to $50,000. Lets do this people.

Agree..$10 sent to Strykers paypal.

Guys while all the ideas are great, and I applaud the enthusiasm, my personal take on this is lets keep it super simple right now. Too many irons in the fire will be a logistical nightmare. Right now they are selling special black lowers. And you can donate to the fund. Soon there might be pink lowers if there is enough demand... who knows.

The point is right now get money into the pockets of CavArms so they can keep afloat. The best way to do that is buy a lower through AGP or send a paypal donation to Striker. Those are immediate fixes that can get us to the next step. BUT, we need to be able to transition to the next step first.

Hell I'd love to see a CavArms challenge coin... I think that would do really well. But right now, let's handle this play before we worry about the next quarter.

Just my opinion of course.

$50 inbound. I was going to buy a membership but that can wait. This is more important.

$100 sent to Ed via snail mail. All of us at LWRC wish Shawn, Russ & all at Cav Arms the best.

I'd like to see a few industry folks support them too. Hell, if this can happen to nice guys like Shawn et al, who is going to be next??

It's time to put aside the differences & stand together as an industry, whether you're a customer, forum member, owner, gunsmith or manufacturer.

Thanks Ed for setting this up.

Same here. I have serious medical issues that are affecting my finances. I'm only working part time.

I'll get something out next payday. Can't let those wannabe nazi's get away with this.

Now that right there is some stand up behavior.

There are 20+ sponsors at the top of this page. There are countless more dealers and industry folks in the EE. On any other day, these folks may be your competitors but today they are your brothers. They are no different than you and need your support.

And some of them are indeed stepping up... offering to do free transfers, inquiring about product to stock. I have confidence that many will do the right thing.

This transcends AR15.com i think we need to unite all the gun boards on this, put aside our differences and unite to fight this one, if any one has influence on other boards please help push this.

Also, I have posted in the Saiga forums in the general discussion section.

Just sent $50 by paypal. But, I was in such a rush that I put the wrong user name in the note. Oh well, the important thing is that the money is going for a very good cause.

Just stopped by CavArms and dropped off my contribution.

They're holding up okay, considering the circumstances. They're immediate concern was how to continue day-to-day business, how to finish jobs, ship product and pay vendors if they don't have any computers or records of who they owe what to or who ordered what when.

Also talked about the garbage KTAR interview with CAIR idiots.

I just posted this at UziTalk.

Lowers ordered.

Oh I'm sure their suppliers will let them know if they owe them money...

Come on guys, lets make sure they have some to pay their bills with!

not to throw a wet blanket on this, but hasn't there been cases of PayPal not wanting donation things like this done and then siezing and holding the funds?

Handing them cash creates an extra thing for them to keep track of. I tried to make a donation for a friend in Tucson today and Russel wouldn't take it.

We think/hope we have a handle on that (transferring the funds out of PP daily).

So far we have never had a problem with any of our fundraisers. <fingers crossed>

you can have like 8 email addresses tied to paypal, just add a new one under his profile and verify with the confirmation email sent to that addy from paypal. Dirt simple.

I hope that the inherently broke college students of the board will join with me and send whatever you can. It is ok to send $10, 15, 20 bucks. Whatever you can spare. Lord knows I do not have much, but know that your not alone in sending less than the others.

Got $2 left over this week? $5 next? Drop it in an envelope.

Meh....Being a poor college student, I was too embarassed to post how little I was able to send until I saw this. I hope the $10 I sent helps
