Revolvers and 1911's were the handguns of my youth.
I know them and I trust them.

Man......what a great thing you are doing.
I have given away a few things in the pay it forward spirit but never on this level.
I have always been a fan of these rifles and have never owned one.
I would hope that my name can be in the hat.

Sir, I've spent a lot of years in a profession that deals largely with the unpleasant side of
people. After all that, you are an inspiration! That is very kind and generous of you!!
If I may, could I please be entered into the drawing? If I should win, I will offer a
pristine, vintage Winchester lever gun in a free drawing for the Board members by way
of thanks.
You lead by example, and that's very admirable!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Maybe a little reminder of the words in bold here might be appropriate at this time?rjohns94 wrote:In the spirit of Christmas and because I know there are those out there that want a sharps but can't scrounge the change,[ I would like to offer a C. Sharps Arms, 1875, near new, 26 inch barrel in 45-70, half round, half octagon, globe front, vernier tang, no barrel rear sight,with silver cap on forestock, with xxx fancy wood in a sort of giveaway. These run a bit over $2000 and there is a significant wait for them. I thought I would hold a raffle, no price for the tickets. I will draw a name out of the hat on Christmas eve at noon from all the persons here who wish to own the rifle. I would ask if you have one, not to apply If you don't and want one I will let this one go to the winner for $200 + shipping to your dealer. thats right, $2000 rifle for $200 to the winner that is drawn. I'm thinking most could come up with that. You can send the money later down the road. I will ship it to your ffl on Monday after Christmas.
So drop a note here and I will give you all a slip for the drawing. I will post the winner here after confirming they want it. Remember, your only costs will be $200 and shipping. It will ship in a plastic shipping case.
Good luck.

No need to put me in the draw - there are obviously many members here who would appreciate that fine gun far more than I would, and my Marlins do all I need.
It'a really NICE thing you're doing, though...!
Looks like someone here will be soon a very happy camper.

Re: On Topic - C. Sharps Arms 1875 Rifle Give away (well almost)
Very generous indeed. I have thought about getting a Sharps many times. However, if I get the itch bad enough I can afford to buy one and would hope the winner of your raffle is someone who couldn't afford a Sharps otherwise. I trust your kindness will be returned many fold. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all.

Can't believe I didn't see this post earlier!
Mike, I have a Pedersoli 1874 Sharps in .45-120, so close enough that I don't feel right throwing my name in the hat. Y2K though would very much like to do so. If he wins, I will cover the $200 +s/h for him.
You are generous beyond words my friend - and a true example to others.

Rjohns94, When I first saw this incredible offer, I was one of the first to say count me in. However, after rereading the offer and thinking about this for awhile I would like to ask that you:
Please withdraw my name from considration
While I don't have a 45/70 and would dearly love to own a Sharps, I could, if need be, scrape together enough to order one. Maybe this will increase the odds for someone who could not.
Again I would like to thank you for the generous offer.
