*Post Approved by IraqGuns*. (Kinda, sorry IG, no posting privelages in General Discussion)

The Marine Infantry Veterans Foundation is currently raffling a custom Glock 17 handgun in an effort to not only raise funds for our many ongoing projects, but to show our support for the freedoms we fought to protect, the right to arms as important as any.

The gun is a Glock 17, which was sent to a former 0321 friend of ours, Baxter, out of Ravens Roost Gunsmithing. He refitted the slide and smoothed out the trigger. The slide was then sent to be engraved with the official MIVF logo, as well as the Foundation name, and "03XX" (the Marine Corps Infantry designator) along the top. The pistol is being held by our good friends at Elite Arms & Supply in Manteca CA, ready to be shipped to the winners FFL.

It will ship with its current tritium front sight and three (3) seventeen (17) rd mags. If the winner lives in a cap-restricted state, I will personally send them three 10rd mags.

Visit the link below to laugh at me in the video as I fight a bad brain and stumble my way through a description, then scroll down to purchase your chance to win. $20 per entry, winner will be announced on 16th of December (so youll have it for Christmas!).

**************

Since there may be some question about the Foundation, as we are still fairly new, please check us out.

Fully staffed by former 03 Marines, the MIVF was established when we saw an entire generation of our fellow warriors not getting the care they needed. Too many of our Infantry Marines, the ones you see on TV kicking in doors in Ramadi and Fallujah, the ones rushing machineguns across the fields of Sangin and the alleys of Marjah,are being discarded when they return or end their time of service.

There are many great veteran organizations out there, but so few are tailored to the challenges faced by so few war fighters.

Through donations, we have kept Marines in their homes, kept their heat and lights on. We've recovered belongings, improved quality of life for wounded Grunts, and even helped one move to a more disability-friendly home.

But we can only do it with the help of anyone who feels the need or desire to make a difference in their lives.

Thank you for any support, lets see who wins it!

Moved to GD.

Seems like a good program for good dudes.

There will be another raffle soon and people will have the opportunity to win an M16A5 build with a KAC rail, Vltor A5 set up, and an ACOG.

It will be a very nice rifle and make anyone wish it was theirs. These guys are truly trying to help Marines (especially the ones who do the shitty work) when they need it.

I'm in. I was looking for a new charity to support, after hearing disquieting things about WWP.

Thanks very much for letting us know about these gentlemen. I'm going to forward this to all my fellow former 03's.

Bump for a good cause.

I tracked down a few more friends today, and encouraged them to donate. One is a former Army MP, the other a former FMF Corpsman.

I told them about this organization, and the response was the same: "Hell, yeah!"

Another buddy that is a former 0351 is probably going to be able to help as well.

Agreed.

Since 2010, I'd not waste perfectly good urine on the WWP if the whole organization was on fire, simply on how little of the money they get actually trickling to the folks it's supposed to help. That's putting aside their nanny-state view on firearms-related activities.

Would MUCH rather know that my donation $$$ is front-loaded to my own kind, and not to someone who's "shell fragment" came from an eggshell at a DFAC.
