Keith,

If it were not for BOTH of you, it would not have happened.

Congrats and appreciation to you and Rick.

And for those who have not contributed, it is rare that $20 would go so far to show our appreciation and respect for the guys who have earned it, but will never get it without our contribution.

Gentleman in addition to AlaskanMatt , we will be putting together a second rifle for another member recently returned from duty overseas as a sincere thank you for his service.

What sort od barrel will the Marlin have. Maybe I missed it somewhere. Stainless fluted with a matching fluted bolt would be my choice.

I just got back from a long mission pushing, pulling and otherwise coaxing Afghani trucks (most of them with bald tires and countless other maintenance issues) over a snow covered, muddy and icy 10,000 ft. mountain pass. IRT Dangerous Roads aint got nothin' on Afghanistan! wink

So here I am two days later, and there are two more pages to this thread and it's now a sticky. All I can say is I'm still very grateful to all of you, and I still find this hard to believe. I don't know how much this rifle is going to cost in the end, but it seems to me there's probably already enough to pay for it, so Seafire: does that mean I can go ahead and send in my donation for the second project for the other veteran?
