As Tony stated. He's building a "special" data book to go with the rifle which will have Chuck's info on it.

And it is, but I've got two questions. Given that PayPal is notably anti-gun,
1) How do they let you use them for payment? You'd think they'd have a s&$t fit.
2) Why do you use them?

I would use them because it's an easy way for our customers to make payments. As of right now we are having problems setting up PAYPAL on our website and thus tickets are only being sold by check or money order.

Bump for a great cause?!!!
 
Re: M40 Raffle Rifle signed/shot by Chuck Mawhinney...

1911 was right. We just recieved a "nasty-gram" from PAYPAL. It looks like everyone will have to send a check or money order from now on. Oops!!!!

Re: M40 Raffle Rifle signed/shot by Chuck Mawhinney...

Ok. Just now seeing this. As I don't pay "The poor tax" in the state lottery, I always have a few bucks set aside for a chance to win a firearm.

Just visited your website and copied the address.

Check will be in the mail tomorrow.
