Wounded veterans fundraiser

I don't see why wouldn't be able to figure away to accept the money via PayPal.

Great

I agree. I know my brother has built sites for people. I will ask him if he could set something up. I will see him tomorrow in fact.

So I am almost complete with the first build, just finished the Cerakote.Still need to finish rear sight, touch ups and adjustments and then will be good to go.

Very nice, job well done!

Very nice, job well done!

Thx, was going for a similar look as the marines issued 1911 considering this is for our wounded soldiers.

Not sure what type of finish to do on the next one. It will be commander size, but unsure of how I want it to look. Open to suggestions.

 

[FrankT]

You are doing great without my input, that is just a beautiful gun. Can you wait and do it the way the new owner would like it??

 

[M.O.A.]

Don't know how I missed this. Great job sir!

 

[Poboy55]

Seriously, that is really nice looking. The only suggestion i might make is a kind of matte stainless look. But any way u go with it is going to look great I'm sure. And I spoke to my brother about building a site for a raffle setup. He said he knows he can build the site, but has to look into a raffle system. I will stay on him to get an answer back to me ASAP.

This one looks great. I am old school on guns. I like mine blue and with wood for the next one. I know the new generation loves plastic and paint but there isn't anything nicer than deep blue or a finish like the one you built before. Just my .02 cents worth.

That is actually not a bad idea. Winner picks the finish!

I agree, I like the look of a custom gun, but just can't beat the classic look.

Thx much.

The winner picking the finish is brilliant. The gun will be exactly what u want it to be. Can't beat that.

So my brother completely backed out on building the site. But I called my old roommate and he set me up with a programmer buddy of his. He is starting on it now and has asked if we have a required completed date or timeframe. He is very confident about being able to to make it work. I will let everyone know how things progress.

 

[FrankT]

Turn it over(the weapon) to the Fisher House, they will run everything on a giveaway and have the $$ to do good things.

 

[Poboy55]

This guy is more than willing to build the site. But that is up to you.

I'm doing some research on the raffle, whereas, I heard there are a lot of legalities to doing a raffle for it and have to go through a lot of appropriate steps to do it legally.

 

[FrankT]

Junky, that is why I suggested to transfer it to a non profit, they can deal w it legally. Raffles and lotteries are a touchy legal issue.
