Brent,

Your check got here late last week, right as I was heading out to Knoxville.  I ended up sick as a dog while I was out there, so I haven't done much work since I got back.  I'll be mailing tickets tomorrow.

No problem whatsoever.  I figured something had you hung up.  That or I was going to harass the federal employees again about where the mail was.  Small town, smaller post office

E,

I've been feeling poorly most of the week (allergies), and haven't been in the shop, so I haven't been able to get the mail.

CAVEAT EMPTOR

Franks been hopping boards running a group buy scam robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I can't say for certain that this raffle is a fraud as well but with amount of people he's known to have screwed it warrants being brought up here.

Frank, I find it especially odd that you claim that you don't have any time to reply on other boards because you don't have net access because your too busy but you post here, you don't have items from manufacturers that have been prepaid for 10 months but you have those same items to sell @ local shows, & a few other things.

It sure would be nice if you did ANYTHING that gave me a warm & fuzzy over your other deals.
You've got the phone number, the email, the physical address. They were all included in the certified letter that you haven't responded to.

i will let frank respond to this himself. he has fulfilled the group buy he had here last year, but i understand the concern.

frank's a big boy and can take care of himself. but that said, we are all adults here and can make our own decisions.

dzhitshard,

I hope your kidding or attempting to be funny, as Frank has always been a fair, honest, truthful and friendly whenever I have had contact with him.

my understanding is that he is refunding the monies for the lightfighter group buy, the THR group buy is canceled, and that this raffle is still on.

i have asked Frank (OEF_VET) to post here confirming same.

he has time to talk about meeting people at a "shoot" and to pick up salads from kroger? but no time to get the people their money back or their products they order.

if'n this is all true, he'd probably get teh ban hammer. if not, he probably should. that is of course if this is true

this is an interesting turn.  I was planning to use some of my economic stimulus for the raffle but now I have to wait and see.

would you really want to enter a raffle where the prize gets fingerfucked and is going to the west tn shoot? i would think these things would be showcased, but then again i dont run gun raffles.

There is a big difference between the owner giving permission for a demo or two to show the prospective winners that the gun works and a whole different ball of wax to blow through a shitload of ammo, putting wear and tear on a 60+ year old gun. Would be nice to not have to replace parts within a year wouldn't it?

That would be like winning a 2008 Corvette in a raffle, but before you got it, the all of the employees at the entire dealership took it out on the highway for a test drive.

Not to mention that apparently several people who sent money to frank for the raffle haven't heard anything back from him about their tickets. In addition he is coming up with the same excuses for lack of comms as he did with the group buys.

I hope this all just a big misunderstanding.   Hate to think my money went to some other use than what it was intended for.

wonder if the owner of the guns knows that he planned to take them to the "shoot"??

not really fair for a few people at a shoot to get to demo the gun and not the rest of the ticket holders. i bet it would be a different situation if everyone that buys a ticket asks to demo it before they enter the raffle. at 30 rounds per magazine (not sure how many they hold) and 1000 tickets. damn 30,000 rounds!!

well...If the raffle is legit, and I win.  Then I won't really care.

but thats just one opinion.

its like taking a 60's car to barrett jackson and while people are bidding on it the guy is out back doing doughnuts. they wash it and bring it to the winner but do you think that it matters? hell yes it does!

if i were buying a ticket (which i personally am not because it seemed like a bad idea from the beginning) and i won this thing, i personally wouldnt want everybody in TN to be shooting it.


im not 100% on the laws but is the gun actually transferred to OEF?
if they are in his possession TO BE transferred and they leave his shop, wouldnt this be illegal possession of a machine gun? just to make this clear im talking about is the gun just in his possession or is it his property?

like i said i dont know the law, just wondering
5/13/2008 4:25:55 PM EDT

also OEF has been online since this situation has come about, why has he not posted???

What's the latest here, gang?

OEF_VET: have all the tickets been sent out? how is the situation with the lowers going?

TEAM: has everyone received their tickets?

I purchased a ticket and received said ticket in the mail and was also issued a receipt.  I have not tried to contact anyone regarding the raffle.  If I remember right he was going to sell all the tickets before the raffle took place. My ticket was on the Ruger.

Hank,

All tickets which have been paid for have been mailed.

As for the lowers, I have already refunded the purchase price to a number of the participants, and am in the process of refunding the rest.

alright, gang, see my edit above. i am, of course, concerned that all of these transactions get squared away- but i don't want anymore of any of this being stirred around by people that are not DIRECTLY involved with the situation.

the information is out there- if you are interested in it, it is painfully easy to find.

if this whole thing makes you want to take legal action against OEF_VET, fine. if you want to buy a ticket for a machine gun raffle, fine. but DO NOT post here, especially in this thread, about this whole thing unless you are waiting on a ticket or want more info on the raffle or it's status.

if all you want to do is fuel the fire, go somewhere else and do it. i have been lenient with multiple parties here (on both sides of the situation) and would like to see everyone's situation resolved and unfucked up. it sucks that OEF_VET has not posted as to exactly what he is doing and who he has sent and is about to send refunds for the group buy to, and the reasoning behind his fuck up. HOWEVER, everyone has said their piece and repeated posts on this are NOT helping matters.

This one has gotten way off topic. The raffle is still open- contact OEF_VET for details.
