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.

22 rifles are a bunch of fun. PP is a great place full of great folks.

Maybe Paul or you could find me a Walther model 1 22 rifle.

Or maybe I should start my own thread.

Congrats and that's cool , enjoy !

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 wouldnt dream of it... the check is all drafted up. just waiting for the post office to open up monday.

thanks paul.

Winchester 52 Target or Sporter?

i didnt care..but i think it is the target. sporter didnt happen until 5 years later..i think.

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.

Yes Paul is a great guy. One of the best on the board. Proud to have him as a friend.

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.
