Oh, right, gotcha... Wow. Those must be some penny-hookers... a dirty-30 here costs about that much, lol.

A big thank you to LoonWulf for his donation, again, funds will be allocated appropriately. :)
 
And for those who lay money down at the start will get that amount in credit towards the stock of their choice, or towards engraving, what-have-you. Could go towards finishing... it's up to the customer. This would work great for those who want to get their dibs in on a stock first, because if I land myself a job before the cost of materials is reached through donations, those members who have donated will be refunded their donation, AND will be able to keep their credit towards their stock of choice. Sound fair enough?
 
Maybe let the guys decide on this one? After all, I'm in this for you guys. I'll happily give the donation amount as credit. And if I get a job before the funds for materials cost is donated, I'd happily refund the donations to the donors as well, and STILL let them keep their credit.
 
The reason i suggest that we keep the donations in is so that we might get production running a smidge faster. But again not my call.
 
LoonWulf does have a point. Let me see if I can't think of something that will sound reasonably well for all parties. The idea of using the donations as credit towards the donor's choice in stock seems like the best bet, but being too generous in the business world won't get you anywhere.

What I think I'll do, is if there is a turn for the worst, y'all will be refunded the full amount of your donations. Plain as day. If it's successful, then go with Loon's original idea and give them credit for the dollar amount of the recieved donation.
 
How about current donations get put towards the raffle of the first stock. Have to figure what the ticket slots should be valued at, but when it comes time, the donations can be converted to "tickets".
 
Hey guys, just to inform you all, over on the Surplus Rifle Forum, my thread was closed because:

Deacon KC says:
This is locked until you can convince the Mods this is not a scam or fishing trip. Please put your real ideas together and forwared it to us. We are 100% behind anyone bringing forth good ideas for the firearms fraternity. Good luck in this endeavor.

To which I responded via PM:

Business Model:

I plan to bring forth various modernized, custom stocks for the Mosin Nagant, Mauser, and K31 rifles, among others down the road, giving customers a very affordable, yet high quality accessory that, in theory, will improve accuracy through proper bedding, barrel channel specifications, and numerous hours of R&D in making a bedding block that will fit all stocks made, regardless of which rifle you install this block to, using proprietary methods.

Due to my unemployment, this project was put on hold until I had the funds (a job) to pay for this. I have numerous people interested, and involved in the project. KAMAK, Savage1r, Gunnerboy, among others from The High Road (www.thehighroad.org) have helped me through various stages and ideas for this project, putting me where I am today. They've been a major inspiration to keep going, and it makes me feel good to have such support.

Due to being unemployed and being put on hold because of lack of funds, Savage1r PM'd (Private Messaged) me suggesting that I ought to create a PayPal account to accept donations from those who'd like to help speed the process along. I wasn't all for it, until I had discussed the donations idea with both him, and LoonWulf (another member on THR) via PM's, and we all came to the conclusion that I should turn their donations into credit towards a stock of their choice.

These donations are staying on PayPal until I'm ready to purchase the materials needed, but not until I get the express permission from ALL of those who donated. If they have a change of heart, it's that easy to issue a refund. I have absolutely no problem with that. It's their money, not mine. I will not touch these funds until I have the permission of the others. I still have the full balance on PayPal from the three donations that have been submitted so far.

I AM NO THIEF. I am a man of high morals, and I am not one to engage in shadowy endeavors. I have been as honest as can be about this project. I have told no lies, about my experience or intent. I am a responsible gun owner like the rest of us on this forum. I hope you can see that I am not out to hurt anyone through "fishing" and I assure you that this is no scam.

A appreciate the wish for good luck, as I'm going to need a lot of it in the near future. I am not planning to make this into a huge, million-dollar-a-year business. This is a side-job I have decided to pursue, and I'm glad, through the support I have recieved, that I decided to take this on. I'm not out to make a huge profit selling these stocks, just some money for a "Gun-Fund" of sorts. Some cash that I can set aside and use solely for future purchases, but that's only after I give the investors a good return on their investment, putting a percentage of their donations/starter funds either towards a stock, or to be transfered back via PayPal once able. I am a verified member on PayPal, and intend to stay in good standing with the Firearm Community.

Thanks for reading, with utmost sincerity,
LJ.

I hope this reply is suitable. It really sucks that I'm giving this everything I've got, and still getting burned.:fire:

In this day and age alot of folks are skeptical, Its understandable, but can be a real bummer some times. If you want i can toss my two cents in over there....tho im not sure if im a member LOL
 
It's not like it'd matter much. They closed the thread. It's just frustrating, I've supplied numerous links to this thread over there... Just goes to show how many of them came over to read it through. It would've showed them otherwise.
 
That's really unfortunate that something like that happened, though it is understandable in that similar things have happened before. I can vouch and verify that I did indeed have many PM conversations with LJ (and can provide PM history if anyone wants proof) about this subject and how I offered to support him and how to make it possible for others to support his endeavor. I will continue to be behind this project as I believe it is a truly altruistic and honest in intent. Again, it's unfortunate that insinuations like this were made and please don't take it personally, it's definitely not you, just the nature of the internet. Keep going strong, we'll be here to help you along.
 
JHenry:

I'm trying, but the funds aren't there yet. Which is why I agreed with savage and Loon about the donations. Haven't reached the funds to purchase materials as of yet.

Savage:

Thank you for the support, and I'm glad someone has, because I haven't. Thanks for the support, again. I appreciate it.
 
Stick with it LJ, let me know if theres anything i can do. With any luck in the next while ill have a bit more money available, and can help a bit more.
