the pelican forums are pretty cool. Seahawk makes buying a rifle easy..
wow, alot of good things happen here. i often wonder if this place didnt do something incredible, like find someone a JOB.
i recently mentioned in a long lost thread about looking for a .22 rifle. i wanted an older model after blasting a can away with burnin's ancient remington..seahawk stepped up and said the magic words, (well he typed them).."i have one". several email exchanges later we have a deal worked out..even the "red tape" of shipping a rifle into california was smoothed out by seahawk communicating directly with my FFL friend. i just got a new email that the rifle is on the way!! seahawk sent the rifle BEFORE he sent me his address, so that i could even send him a check for the rifle+shipping. what a guy. i just want to thank him here openly for selling me a great rifle, that has been in his family since new. thank you Paul. you flat out floored my wife. i will take great care of the rifle, i promise. cliff. p.s. i cant wait to monkey roll over to my FFL's home..a short 10-day waiting period away. poor poor empty beer cans are gonna get riddled with inexpensive bullets.

Key is, I KNOW where you live.
It is a Winchester Model 52, built in 1928. It has been in a case for years, idle. It was my camping gun when I was a kid, replaced in my heart when my Grandfather gave me a Marlin 39A carbine when I was twelve. I hate to see guns sit. As I wrote Cliff: Shoot it well and often.

I was kidding. And it is a target model, with the right sights.

Excellent!!! Paul and cliff are both great guys, so I'm glad this worked out!
Cliff, back in 2007, George K (kach22i) got my resume to his wife who gave it to her friend, an IT recruiter. I interviewed with the company and hired in as soon as I left Ford in 2007, so I did get a job through a Pelican connection!!

Both Paul & Cliff are great guys, so I'm not surprised that this went well. Have fun Cliff, I've been contemplating a .22 for plinking purposes.

I've had, and my family has had, some remarkable experiences involving Pelican and Pelicans.

Got any more? Damm, those are sweet .22's!
Now go to the local gunshows and buy a brick of .22 and go have fun!

Let's be honest...Vash makes it easy.
He is the little brother we all wish we had. And I am only returning the favor(s) I've received: on2wheels52 was so gracious and professional in selling me a M1A Carbine that is Jack's favorite gun; Dave (Targa911S) sold me a Springfield 1903 that is my favorite gun and we remain friends since we were able to meet each other; Whippedpuppy sold me a car I still own, my wife's favorite, and I'll always think fondly of him...much more. Joeaska helping me in Phoenix, Moses responding to emails concerning college choices, Rick taking a bunch of Naval Academy kids for a ride in his Porsche, corresponding with the Sup, Denis and the 356 Notch...on and on. I have received more than I have given, trust me. The gun thing, for me, is all about utility: I asked Jack about the Model 52, to sell or not to sell. He has a Savage WMR that is so dead nuts accurate is it weird. "Is Cliff a good guy", was all he asked. That seems to work for me.
