22 rifle giveaway - for KIDS only----Last and FINAL ONE
We were saving these two for this December, but obviously, we can't wait until then. Thanks to someone with a name something like.....Lickenpooper who signed an UN-constitutional bill making it ILLEGAL as of July 1st, to GIVEAWAY a firearm unless you are willing to PAY for the privilege of registering said firearm. Which I am NOT willing to do. (registration leads to confiscation) It's a shame, with a stroke of his mighty pen, Lickenpooper brings to a end, what around this household, was becoming a tradition which we have enjoyed for over a decade. However, I am thankful we were able to do it as long as we have. Enough ranting, let's get to the good stuff.
Spring time is a GOOD time to do this as well.
Same as always, there are 2 rifles, both are single shot, bolt action. One is going to go to a boy, the other is going to a girl.
(wife says one has to go to a girl, gotta keep the wife happy ya know )
Besides, I happen to agree with her.
So enter the young ladies too.
The boy will receive a Western Field Model M815. It has a 24 1/4" barrel, an overall length of 43 1/4" and weighs in at 5.3 lbs. It is the top one in the picture.
The girl will receive a Marlin Model-10 It has a 22" barrel, an overall length of 39" and weighs in at 4.84 lbs. It is the bottom one in the picture.
Both of these rifles shoot well and take S-L-LR ammo. Bolt action, single shot, with iron sights, no scope (which, in my opinion) is the way a young one should learn to shoot. One shot at a time, concentrating on accuracy.
So, to the rules.
1. If you are a previous winner of ANY firearm, please don’t enter, let’s pass it around.
2. I would like this rifle to go to a child that does not already have a firearm. Honor system.
3. What age child? Thinking about 8-12.
You know, better than I, if your child is responsible enough for a firearm or not.
4. You must be an active participant in this forum to nominate the child. My judgment.
5. Can be, but does not have to be, your child, grandchild. Can be a niece, nephew, friends kid, etc.
6. Tell us a little about the kid. (Mandatory)
Don't need a life history, but "Please enter Brian." ain't gonna make it.
If you do not want to put this info online, PM it to me.
7. I will end this when I feel like it. Possession WILL happen before July 1.
8. I will need (signed) parents permission.
9. This is for Colorado residents ONLY.
10. If you are not comfortable receiving the rifle, without going through an FFL, don’t nominate anyone. Not using an FFL is perfectly legal (well...until July 1st) and looked at by the BATF, as a same state sale.
Seeing as how this IS for ANY kid in Colorado, I am quoting from the BATF FAQ website (the pertinent part) just in case it needs to be shipped. (It will be FTF (face to face) for the Denver metro area)
(quote)(B7) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State.(/quote)
Parents, if you are not willing to take the kid shooting, don’t enter. I don't want this to turn out to be a dust collector. Please don’t enter “just because it is free” Lets get these to kids that (along with the parents) are going to shoot them.
I hope these rifles gives YEARS of enjoyment to the winners.
Since it has been asked before. If anyone wants to donate something, you are MORE than welcome to. Ammo, eyes, ears, cleaning kit, rifle case, targets, or anything else you can think of. It will be up to you to get it to the winner(s).
If no one donates the necessities, eyes, ears, ammo. I will make sure that the winner gets some, if needed/wanted.
KIDS ARE OUR FUTURE.

I will put a entry in. So here's the scoop. My son and I love to shoot and it's a fun bonding time. Well the last time we went out shooting and came back, his sister was bummed and said that she would like to go shooting. Next thing I know 10 mins later big brother is outback showing her all he has learned and what to do with the pellet guns. Made me proud that its getting passed on. So put her in the hat for one! This is really a great thing you guys do!

This is my son with his Red Ryder. He loves to shoot it with me and is a great kid. He is on the younger side at 5 1/2 but is responsible for the age and listens and follows direction well. We have been wanting to get him a .22 rifle but due to budget constraints and the IRS nailing us we have not been able to. My son Rowan just graduated from Cubbies in Awana and will be graduating from preschool this month. He would like to be a cardiologist when he grows up. Lol
ETA: I did have a .22 for both my boys the younger is 3y/o that had bought from a work friend of mine. I had it all set up with a small scope and 1000 rounds of ammo. This was three years ago and then he called me after 6 months and told me that he needed the rifle back since is grandfather had given it to his father and then to him. He didn't know this when he sold it, so I gave it back with all the ammo and scope. Which was a huge bummer since my boys were going to learn on it. If my son Rowan was to be chosen we will take pictures and use it quite a bit. Hopefully he can pass it down generations like my friends rifle.

I'd like to enter my son who is 10 and my daughter who is 12. Neither own a firearm. Only recurve bows at this point. My daughter saved her money up for most of a Ruger 10/22 or similar rifle and then on her own accord decided to give all to help mom get to Haiti to volunteer at a school/feeding center for children. Generosity and her good heart won out and she knew a rifle would have to wait.
My son who is pretty young to have much income just wants to shoot bad! Thanks for the consideration.
