Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Any deserving kids in need out there????

I'm still good for the 6" calipers and lee trimming tool for whatever caliber you choose, and I'll thow in a case mouth deburring tool.

It's my pleasure to donate the dies, brass and bullets. I'd been planning on building a 280 rem for my son, but ended up picking up a rem 700 sps youth 223 from the campfire. If I keep the dies, brass and bullets on hand, as well as the couple of 7mm barrel blanks I picked up, I just might be tempted to build another rifle. If I give it away, I make a kid happy, and keep myself out of the doghouse with the wife, win win!

I've got a spare Lee scale that can be sent.

Will send a scale, primer pocket brush (LR) and a new RCBS case lube pad. Could also send a reloading manual, if needed. It will not be the most current but should still apply.

He'll surely need a manual.

I'll send a couple of those as well.

Thanks man. My karma is maxed our. I got my boys in the divorcee so i'm more than ahead in the karma game!


I'm super excited for the rifle to show up! Monday can't come soon enough!

I'm giddy as a kid on Xmas to deliver the goods to the boys and can't wait to see the look on ther faces when they get to feel the goodness and love that can be created by good folks getting behind the generous offers of one another.

It's amazing what we as a group can accomplish in someone's lives with what we consider "extras" of small value to us.

As it sits each boy will get a backpack, binos, knife (2 knives for Coy), leather men. Me and my girlfriend yesterday picked up flashlights ( for the younger 2), small first aid kit, space blanket, survival whistle/compass/signal mirror/fire starter deal and some other nick knacks to fill each pack.

Coy will also be getting the rifle and scope with ammo and accesories, and the hardcase. Its been decided that all of the boys will share the big Buck knife for camp and butcher work, the reloading and cleaning gear and the ear protection.

The soft case will go to the middle boy whose case is falling apart quickly.

There is likely too much gear to get it all in one pic with the boys but rest assured all your donations are going to a good cause and will be put to use.

Do to work schedules I may not be able to makr the drop off until 04/13 as they now live about 1 1/2 hrs from me but there will be a long post with pics forthcoming.

That's awesome, Mallard--I'm sure they'll be as excited as on Christmas, too! And those sound like great packs they'll be set up with. I know I'll feel the same way when everything is ready to be given to James. I'll be really psyched to see the pictures when you put them up.

As will I!!!

X3!!!

That's absolutely fantastic. Matt, I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job of making the gift-giving something that the boys (and you) will never forget. A big thumbs-up to you and Paul.

I'm just the guy who is lucky enough to have the privilege to deliver these great gifts to the boys.

My involvement to the boys would have continued this year as it had for the last 3, just now the boys have good solid gear to call their own thanks to you guys.

Damn...my allergies just started acting up again...

Mine too

This is something these young boys will never forget.......

That's for sure. I can remember very clearly the Christmas that my dad handed me my first deer rifle. It was a Model 94 with a little red ribbon tied around the barrel. The whole family had allergies right then. Fifty-five years ago.

This is a big deal, and it's not even Christmas! He's going to be floored.

good things happen to good people!

The parts for my Lee press came in yesterday and the thing is way better than new now with steel replacing the pot metal parts which broke.

I'd like to get a list of all the reloading equipment/supplies donated to Dclaytons nephew James so far.
From me are,
The Lee Challenger press, an RCBS Uniflow powder measure and an old beat up manual.

From Smithrjd are a Lee scale, case lube pad, manual, and primer pocket brush.

From 458 Lott, a caliper, Lee trimmer system, and a case mouth deburring tool.

If I missed anything please post it up.

If others would like to donate stuff to young James please post it up as well.

This is coming together very nicely due the generosity of the fine folks at the Campfire.

Somebody must have a nomination for FOsteology's cool .22 if he's still willing to offer it up.

This is about the coolest .22 I've seen. Some kid would be THRILLED to have it. Heck my kids would be thrilled with it but this is intended for children more in need than my own.

I'm surprised no one has found a kid who would love to have that?
