Title: Suggestions for donation
Post by: 5thumbs on September 21, 2021, 09:15:39 PM
Any suggestions of where I could donate some air rifles?  Would prefer to provide to a 4H, Scout troop, shooting range or something to do with young shooters.    All the guns worked when I stopped using them, but would feel better if someone (leader of the group) could do a safety check.  Potentially would include
2 Discovery Benjamin .177
1 Marauder (I have a 1st gen and the last generation and will decide which one to donate) .177   
1 Flying Dragon B26 in .22

I would like to think about my options so this is more a call for suggestions so I may not reply to inquiries.   

Thanks,

Personally, i would trade the pcps for either pumps or springers. We as airgunners dont mind all the support equipment and tinkering they will require, kids may not. Why not donate them to some local kids?

That is a great suggestion.

Maybe you could contact a local gun club or range and ask about youth programs and if the club knows of some deserving individuals.  Or maybe the club could find use of them within a youth program.  Just a thought.

One of the local powder burner shops may be of help with that.
