Wonder if we can get a group buy rifle going for his son, like a nice DMR? I'm not a organizer , but I will pitch in 100$ for a nice AR if someone wants to talk to Stryker and do the leg work , maybe a mod?

I'm going to try to make it out there (from Dallas) today, it being my day off. I didn't post anything in the other thread because I've got other stuff to do today and I don't know if I'll make it, but I'm going to give it a shot.

We should buy the rifle for his son and get it custom engraved or something. Like a quote or a phrase that he wants his kid to remember. Doesn't Orion Arms do something like that? I'm good for a couple bucks on that idea.

I never really post, only lurk...but that guy's post got to me. I have a machine shop, we do custom lowers. I can donate one, engrave whatever everyone decides, throw that in the mix. If someone takes hold of this project PM me and I will do whatever is necessary.

Please do not start any kind of effort for fundraising or the like. All requests for fundraisers are being denied, until next year at least. |

If someone close to Fatalwishes has the info that would go on the lower, its as good as done. I would need someone to deliver...I'm in Austin. ARF staff seem to be trying to do the best they can and no hard feelings. This could be just a two-man gig...me and whoever can PM me can do delivery. Everyone else can say prayers, which is not nothing, and is helpful.
I have a two-year old and another otw. If I went early and missed teaching them to hunt, I'd at least want them to have something to connect me to that activity when they got there on their own. Maybe a message from FW to son? I have a laser engraver, so I can put a fair amount of text on it. Say 120 characters? Favorite bible verse, whatever he would like. If someone in the metroplex can deliver it, pm me and we can work out how to get it to you. Nick |
