I hate to see Carlson1 selling his "kids" to pay for ticker repair.
I don't have $800.00 for a new gun right now but I do have some money
to donate to a good cause!!! WHAT SAY YEE.

Someone set it up and let's get the ball rolling!

I'm in. I'm going to PM Carlson1 and will post any response he approves.

Good idea. I was getting a little sad just seeing them come up for sale. I'm still out of work, but I'm sure I can do something.

Okay folks, I like Cosmo 9's suggestion, but I don't want to post any details in an open forum that everyone with an Internet connection can see. If you feel you can help, please send me a PM and I'll give you the details of his need at this time. The financial requirements are not as large as you might expect, but time is critical.

Regards,
Chas.

I have Carlson1's address for those who wish to help. Please send me a PM and I'll pass it along.

He and his wife appreciate your thoughtfulness and support at a very tough and trying time.

Thanks,
Chas.

Thanks folks, the response has been great considering the short time this has been posted. I think I've responded to everyone's PM asking for Carlson1's address, but if I'm wrong, please let me know.

Thanks again folks,
Chas.

jbird had a good idea. I am not out of work like ghentry but have not had a real job since the foundry here sold to new owner. Only one holster in my dead box so I don't have much that I don't use all the time. Went through everything this morning & this is what I have in order of usefulness & value.
1 - Hogue rubber grips w/ finger grooves (backstrap not covered) for 1911 officer mdl. No pac but like new.
1 - 6 rd after market mag for officers mdl. Plenty range worthy.
with these I will send a new .45 Outers bronze cleaning brush yet unopened from the kit.
Will pac it all in hand cut .45 patches. Never got over having nothin when we were kids & bore snakes are not new. Then we called them gun cleaning rags.

PM me w/ your address & what you have sent to Carlson & I will ship to you.

Answering PM's and making sure I don't leave anyone out is asking a lot of an old man, so I've set up a new private area only visible to and accessible by people who have sent a PM wanting to help. I'm not trying to be secretive, but it's not right to put confidential information on an open forum so anyone with an Internet connection can read it.

If anyone wants to help, just send me a PM and I'll add your login to the private list and you'll be able to keep up with updates, get information, etc. If you've already sent a PM, you don't need to send another - you are already in!

Thanks,
Chas.

If anyone sent me a PM and can't see the private area, let me know. It's happened to at least one person, so I'm concerned I may have missed someone when I updated the access list.

Thanks,
Chas.
