Can you build one for me ?

[Flint62Smoothie]

FYI, a couple others have already reached out to me and have offered to chip in too!

If anyone else wants to I don’t mind, but let’s leave it with Paul …

But I hope he knows we are just people trying to give back and help our Veterans.

Pay it forward all!

As a USN of the same year as you, my friend it really takes a lot of time to get there. Many people thank use for our service but how many really do?
I don't need people to thank me I did those things because I choose too. But here you have someone who truly cares that made the offer that means something, be humble and accept.

Those who thank me I ask a service of them. I ask them to get involved in our Republic and at least research the candidates with an open mind and Vote.

ColonialRifleSmith on here is a fellow Marine and builder. I think he charges $300 to build a Kibler kit plus the price of shipping it to you. Rick Baker is his real name. Kibler will ship kit directly to him, he builds it and sends it to you.

I second that nomination. Mr. Baker built a rifle for me and it is wonderful in every respect.
Another good choice would be Brad Emig at Cabin Creek Muzzleloading in Hallam, York County. The rifle he built for me is wonderful too.
I expect you will have something of a wait with either of them.

I would like to find someone to build a Woodsrunner for me. I'm a disabled vet and can't really of this. I'm in SE Pa. So, preferably someone in eastern PA would be great. I'll have it shipped to you and then I will pick it up.
Please send a message and discuss. Thanks. P. USMC. Class of 69

USN same time frame.
Good luck, Marine!!

Flint62Smoothie---Very nice of you to build a rifle for GriscomRun, Blessings to you. Thank you for your service Griscomrun and to all vets on this forum and everywhere. My son is due home in Nov from his 3rd in the MidEast.

UPDATE -

• 6 others have reached out to me to contribute towards the co$t of the kit build ... but it gets even better!
• Someone else says my initial offering inspired them to call Kiblers Longrifles and they have offered to BUY the kit for GriscomRun!

I won't announce their name here - that's for them to do ... or perhaps to even remain anonymous, that's their call.

 

[Johnny Too-Tall]

As a retired army guy myself I appreciate all who have volunteered to assist my fellow VET. This is why I have always loved the ML community.

 

[Hatman/2nd line]

Please PM me, I would build it for you

 

[Mulebrain]

Man this does the heart and soul good!

I will help out as well!

Awesome! Still some mighty good folks out there.

 

[Daytime Smoker]

This is good to see! It’s nice to know that we still have good people in this world!

Looks like you have the rifle covered, how about I make you a new Virginia Style hunting pouch to go with that new Virginia Style longrifle, no charge for a fellow 70's vet, send me a PM if you are interested, Beav, USMC 73-77

 

[Colonial Boy]

As another country’s vet, I find this thread very inspiring, good on all of you.

 

[Bustacap]

I haven’t been on the forum for long but this has been the best thread I’ve seen so far…out of many good ones! Congrats GriscomRun you deserve it, USMC 88-96

Flashback memories when I read your post. You folks are, really are, a special breed of good.
On our way to Cambodia, we stopped in Singapore to catch our breath. Stopped in a "place" for refreshment. OMG what a crew your mates are.
Such fun to watch and hear those mates at 2 tables singing a dueling melody to Waltzing Matilda. You are awesome !
UM, yeah, a shellback too.
