Guys please give me some ideas on future give away prizes. What would you like to see be given away?
Most of the items given away these days are from Dealers or related gun industry companies. I am planning some really good games for the future including giving away full rifles.
Anything M4 related is cool, whether it’s a $7 ranger plate or a nice LaRue mount. I would be happy to win either. Some things I would like include:
Almost anything Magpul or LaRue
Tactical Nylon (Like SKD/Eagle Universal chest rig) [red] ETA: Sorry, I thought SKD was a sponser.[/red]
Sling setups (Like Blue Force’s Vickers sling)
Optics (EOtech is a sponsor. I would love to win a 552)
Lights (I’ve read nothing but good things about Grant’s WGxx. A WGxx with a Snake Eyes bulb and/or rechargeable look nice. Pentagon’s a sponsor too. )
CProduces Mags
A Daniels Defense AR10 rail would be killer for the AR10 guys, but then again any DD rail would make me happy:D
Ehh… I could go on and on, but I just looked at all the M4Carbine.com sponsors icons at the top of the page and I would be very pleased to win gear from any of them. Tango Down Gear (even a T shirt), Troy iron sights, an Vltor stock… all would make a great prize!
Parts kits. I don’t mean a LPK, I mean something a little more involved that includes the upper parts as well.
Magazines. No matter how many you have, its always nice to have more, or to rotate some out for training status.
Good quality Bolt/ Bolt Carrier Groups.
Lights.
Rails.
Slings & mounts.
Training coupons.
Complete uppers.
While complete weapons would be a great give away, I think the above items are things that all shooters can use, and with the exception of #8, they are cheaper and would put more items out into the hands of the people.
I tend to agree with this. I’d rather have more chances to win small but useful stuff than a shot at a big prize once in a blue moon. Not that a bigger prize sometimes wouldn’t be cool, though…
I think the biggest question with ammo would be shipping. If there is a way to deal with shipping costs, without you eating the bill, ammo would be great.
If it turned into something where it added aggravation, time, or additional funding, it just wouldn’t be worth it from my point of view.
Stick thats a good point I did not think of that. I’ll have to look into how I can handle shipping. Maybe Hobbes is right, hopefully the guy who wins will be willing to cover shipping costs.
