You can use the PayPal link at the bottom of any page, or send $$ direct to Bill, if you use PayPal, please indicate your member name and what it's for since that's also used for the Server Fund which you can read about in my signature line link at the bottom of any of my posts. ;)

Thanks!!

Tim,
Is this post listed in all of the GB forums?  I see it only has around 300 viewings.  I've viewed it 4 or 5 times myself.  I don't know how many members have donated, but I thought more would at least view it.
Just wondering? 

If nothing else, this will bump it back to the top.

It's posted in a bunch of forums, but the original I linked to in the Pot-Bellied stove forum has had close to 900 views.  ;)

Dunno, it just started Monday, doubt GB has received all of his contributions yet. Depends on how much each member sends too, I sent $20 to help make up for those that can only send $1!!  ;)

I think Matt said that there was $25 in pay pal marked for this. I've gotten none yet via USPS unless it came today. I've not looked at today's mail yet.

That photo looks remarkably like the one I picked up kinda sorta almost like it's twin ya might say. I actually found one in stock locally and decided that he who hesitates is lost or at least has lost his chance as ARs and ammo for them are flying off the shelves like you'd not believe.

I'm retired on Social Security and a very small annuity, which has shrunk to almost nothing recently.  This site is probably the best investment I ever made.  Keep the kettle boiling guys, kick in.

Guys, Were I somewhat richer, I'd match you dollar for dollar for what you put in.  I'm not, and I can't.  But I have contributed.  You all enjoy the benefits of this site.  Please help keep it going.  Kick in.  Pesty Pete

OK guys, I'm in via Paypal with a little note to Bill to use the funds towards his AR.
I have been saving up for some AR "pieces parts" to put one together myself. Now that the election is over I cannot find a single stripped or completed AR15 lower in three states around me, and I have looked and tried. I just got back from a 3 state vacation/hunting/work on camp trip and tried MANY places in person and by phone with no luck. As soon as they come in they are sold. You almost have to be standing there in the store when they open the package from the manufacturer to get one. I should have bought a month or so ago but thought I could not afford it then, in truth I could not afford to wait. .223 ammo is also getting scarce, and expensive....<><....:(

Can someone please post up the email addy attached to the pay-pal site.

 The link at the bottom of the page will not connect to an account, only pay-pal. When I try it tells me the receiver is not a valid account holder.

 Its been a year since I last donated and would like to send some for both the evil blk gun and the upkeep round here.  ::) ;D

I don't have the Paypal site address handy but if you just google Paypal Official site you should get that info....<><....:)

P.S. - I think it is www.paypal.com

Oops, I think I answered what you do not need to know. What I did was click on the link, on the top of that link is a box with the address, VidPro, enter how much you wish to offer up as a contribution and then go to Paypal by clicking below that area. You can sign in to Paypal and complete the contribution plus leave a message that the funds are to go to GB for his AR15, if you wish....<><....:)
