Thought I'd get your attention!

About 3 weeks ago, there was an for sale ad in the classifieds for pmags, selling at about 60.00/mag. One gentleman stated in the post how that was not Hide members helping one another out, and that he had some spare pmags if another member truly needed one/two he would sell them at his cost and shipping.

Now, I work at a local large firearms retailer a few evenings week. I am feeling like a real tool because I used to work 10 feet from a wall of pmags. Obviously, I took that for granted because I had zero to show for it in my personal stash of goods. By the time the panic struck, I was simply too late to buy one.

Anyhow, I PM this gentleman and request if he had one or two he could spare, I'd gladly pay him the "used to be" price. He responds, says he'll send me three mags for about 35.00, total. I gladly accept. He types back that he actually did not care about the money, he just wanted to be able to help someone else out. He says he is sending me three pmags at a cost of $0.00. About a week later, I receive a package, but instead of having 3 mags in it, it has 4!

Words cannot account for what this gentleman did for another Hide member. This post is nothing but a "thank you," and to show that there is still some sanity left in these tumultuous times.

Thanks a million, Mr. P. That is an act of kindness I will never forget.

Sounds like a real prick...you should out him.
 
Re: PMags for Free and Thank You

I too will say "Thank you Mr. P", and it sure would be nice if more were like him.

Even the fact that he responded to your PM is a stellar moment, to which I personally wish more people would do THAT, too.

You know who you are, and that is enough to make clear. For one to stand up and be honorable, in this day and age, is a Banner Moment!

Rare enough, indeed.
 
Re: PMags for Free and Thank You

Just goes to show that there are great people here on the Hide and even some elsewhere. Congrats on the Pmags and a tip of my hat to Mr. P.
 
Re: PMags for Free and Thank You

There are a lot more good people here than bad that's for sure. Some really good people here.

I agree with the old school members, I don't like to see gouging here at all.
 
Re: PMags for Free and Thank You

Tons of good people out there, but not many that would do something like this, Mr P. you are a gentleman

I would rape him if I got the chance.

Called Midway to order a few mags. Lady I spoke with was not sure which one was for .223 AR so she asked her supv. She was not sure either but gave me the model number to order. Yeah, sure, order the wrong one then return. Waited to the following day, still did not know which to order or where to find out. Got back on Midway site...problem resolved...they were out of everything!

Someone please remind me to find different place to buy gun stuff...one staffed with people who know their asses from their armpits. Hope they appreciated [past tense] my business...lots and lots of ammo.

Waited for Gunnys (local) to sort out their "just-in" shipment which contained .223 Magpuls that I needed. Left after waiting 3 hours with the guy still sorting. I have new range now where I can shoot for less than there...another dufus problem solved but still no mags.
Went to CheaperThanDirt in Ft. Worth...they had Magpuls for $39 and change....rip off I said...still no mags. By dang I can hit the sob with my AR if he gets too close.
