what about shipping/transport?

[Handcruser 2805]

I’ll have to figure that out - that will take some research. We won’t collect the pledged money until we have a green light and total cost.

[Upgrayedd 5818]

Do we get to test fire it first?  

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4977]

I have more ammo than I'll probably ever shoot, I could probably donate some.

I just want to understand what we are doing here..  I applaud the effort, but I’m guessing it would cost more to get it there than it actually costs.

[Willfully Horn 8048]

Figure this out and take my money.

Maybe we can buy from Israel, or Austria. Somebody has to be represented in the House by a Congresscritter with a Charlie Wilson sensibility, and who might help make the sale happen.

Handcruser is a gun dealer IIRC, so he’s probably 80% ahead of the curve on this, but I’m doubting that buying one makes a whole lot of sense.  Not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but let’s start a gofundme and buy a bunch of them and spread that shipping cost across multiple weapons.  We’ve raised north of $50k in a day for a few players who had moms with some health problems.

I’ll be in for 100 once there’s a clear path to get it there.

Why don’t we just give money to the sniper guy in Ukraine asking for the money ?

[deadshank 24653]

I thought we have to argue about caliber before proceeding.   

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4977]

.950 JDJ is obviously a more practical choice.

I'm going to contact the custom firearms manufacturer to see if I can get a better price, custom work, and export.

I'm with Neonmoon here...as cool as it is to get some pics and say "we donated a 50 cal to Ukraine, in burnt orange, and got to see it blast russians" would the more efficient route be to donate directly to their defense, since I'm sure they've already got shit lined up to get weapons/supplies there they need? This feels more about our vanity than their needs. 

[SHOOTER12 8826]

Well here we go. There's no chance of Surly causing an international incident here is there? Well.....IS THERE? Could be a lot of fun and adventure.

$200 here!

[Brisketexan 105286]

I'm in for $200....but yeah, as cool as it would be to see kill marks on a rifle with CJK5H on it....I want to tend to their real-deal needs, and get them as much "bang for the buck" as possible.  Maybe we reach out to the contact referenced in the article, and ask him specifically what they need right now (maybe they need some more .308s for the gals who hunt Russians at night....HAWT), and where they source them.  Why deal with customs and shipping and such when they can just buy what they need in Poland and drive it across?

Edited July 27, 2023 by Brisketexan

[Handcruser 2805]

As an alternative - how would you guys feel about developing some of our own patches and supplying those to the troops? Morale booster and such- maybe even put them on some plate carriers.

If we're going to have @THUJONE prepare a special illustration of Putin eating a bag of dicks.....then.....of course.

But we should still try to get these snipers some weapons directly.  Maybe you know folks in the gun dealer community who have some hookups in Poland or whatnot?

We can send a few hundred stickers to slap on ammo boxes along with the donation.

Could also sell to US folks to raise more money

And if it is done by @THUJONE it could raise lots of money.

look, i'm not gonna tell you how to run your business or your threads but giving a pretty compelling thread title about sending a fucking .50 caliber sniper rifle of fucking terror death to ukranian soldiers to kill a bunch of invading shitheads and then pivoting to hey guys, how about we send some fun rub on fake tatoos to boost morale is a hell of a turn...and a fun metaphor for european foreign policy.

$250.

But we need talk about what kind of trophies we get.  I want a ushanka off a dead Russian major.

[cactusflinthead 27601]

I'd get a patch, sticker, coffee cup, or Tshirt from both @THUJONE and @RDCanecutter.

$100 here

I'd recommend pooling then donating to one of the causes here. These are all verified and shared in NAFO Discord:

Plus I can put together a care package for the sniper with whatever shit I've got in my fridge and pantry. Create something unique.

[kevwun 15862]

The burnt orange idea is neat, but not practical.  They are going to have to paint over it before it goes in to service.  It would be better to send more ammo instead of using money on custom paint.
