    Well, gentlemen, it's that time of the year again! We're about a month out from drawing the winner for an epic M40A5 clone build, the rifle raffle ends on May 5th.

    I donated this rifle to the Scout Sniper Association (SSA) in order to help raise money for the Marine Scout Sniper community through the SSA. The SSA is a 501(C)(3) charitable organization and 100% of the funds raised from this rifle raffle will be used to fulfill the SSA's mission. This includes supporting active duty and reserve Scout Sniper units, as well as helping out gold star families who have tragically lost their Scout Sniper family member. The SSA is a phenomenal organization and they do incredible things for the Scout Sniper community, and any support for the SSA is greatly appreciated.

    This year's raffle rifle is an M40A5 clone build, and it was assembled by 2 amazing Marine 2112 armors - Jake Meyers and Deven Huffman. Both of these Marines donated their time and efforts to build this M40A5 sniper rifle. These 2112 armorers have personally built dozens of sniper rifles for Marine Scout Snipers to use in combat. This first-hand experience ensures that this M40A5 was meticulously built to the original USMC M40A5 specifications, with no detail being overlooked.

    This is truly an extraordinary clone rifle, and since it's not a vintage gun, its modern features make it a very versatile rifle. You can take it to the shooting range, take it into the field hunting, shoot competition matches with it, etc. Whomever wins this rifle is getting an amazing gun that isn't just historical, it's also very usable! This isn't a wall hanger, it's a rifle that's built to take on many years of hard use. The M40A5 kit also includes many of the SL3 accessories, so it's a complete package.

    You can purchase raffle tickets for this epic M40A5 sniper rifle at this link:

    Please let me know if anyone has any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you very much for your support and I wish everyone luck with their raffle tickets!

    Here is the actual prize M40A5 sniper rifle being test fired by members of the USMC shooting team. They easily achieved sub-MOA performance with standard M118LR ammunition, and they really enjoyed shooting this rifle. It's high praise all-round for this M40A5:

    This years SSA M40A5 is easily one of the best rifles that we've raffled off over rhe years. Whoever wins this one is going to have an amazing piece for their collection! There's a few weeks left to grab tickets, and right now the odds of winning this rifle are pretty damn good (we haven't sold tons of tickets).

    Thank you everyone who has purchased tickets! JT, the president of the SSA, should be taking this rifle out to be photographed sometime soon. I should have some new photos of this M40A5 raffle rifle and kit soon, and I'll post them in this this thread when I receive them. Thanks again, everyone!

    Bumping this thread, there's only a week left until the drawing! Thank you all for your support! Here's a link to the raffle ticket purchase page for those who would like to purchase tickets:

    I entered two tickets, but the software replied that I purchased 30 tickets. I will have to contact the CC company. Initially I tried to purchase one ticket, but the system was stuck and would not complete. Closed the window, restarted and chose two, and this is what happened.

    I'm sorry to hear that and I also received the private message. I just brought this up to JT (CEO of the SSA) and other members of the organization. As soon as they have a solution, I'll post it here. I'm also having our web site guy try to see if there's anything wrong with the raffle ticket purchase page. I'm sorry that this happened and we're currently working on getting this issue resolved. Thank you for reaching out!

    If anyone else is having any issues with purchasing raffle tickets, please shoot me a message and I'll get it fixed asap.
     
    Bumping this thread, there's less than a week left to grab a few raffle tickets! The issue with purchasing tickets that @c1steve experienced yesterday is fixed (and c1steve is now in direct contact with JT to resolve the issue), so there shouldn't be any other issues with the raffle ticket sales page. Please let me know if anyone has any questions about the rifle raffle or the SSA. Thanks again, everyone, and good luck during the raffle drawing on Monday!

    Thank you very much, gentlemen! This raffle has been massively successful, it's the 2nd best raffle the SSA has ever had (the top raffle was for the Mk13 Mod 7 I donated a few years back). The money raised is going to be directly used in accomplishing our organization's mission, and we're going to keep everyone updated on everything we're doing. It's not just for transparency purposes, we think that all of you have the right to see the good things that the SSA is doing with your donations so that we can celebrate our successes together. The funds raised from this raffle are going to help out the Scout Sniper community immensely, especially with our new program for supporting Scout Snipers who are suffering from PTSD and physical disabilities.

    The raffle drawing will take place sometime tomorrow. The winning number will be drawn at random, and the SSA will post the result on their social media accounts tomorrow afternoon/evening after they verify that the winner is eligible to receive the prize (not an illegal alien, not under age, etc.). I'll be posting the result in this thread (and the other forum threads) for everyone to see as well.

    It's going to be an exciting day tomorrow, and I'm really hoping that the winner will be a forum member! We're going to work with the winner to try to get photos of that person with the rifle. I wish you all luck with the raffle drawing tomorrow!

    The SSA is going to be sharing our activities and achievements with everyone, so I hope that all of you have also subscribed to our email list and follow us on social media. We're extremely grateful for your support, and we want all of you to continue this journey with us. We can't thank you enough for your support, and as a fellow forum member I'm extremely proud of our community here!

    If anyone would still like to support the SSA and have a shot at winning this amazing USMC M40A5 sniper rifle clone, a direct link to the raffle ticket sales below. We're in the home stretch right now, and we're only a few hours from closing the ticket sales. The ticket sales will end at midnight EST. Thank you for helping with this final push, and I'll be posting the total amount that we raised when the raffle ends. Thank you and good luck to everyone who purchased raffle tickets!
