$25 Same specs I think?

You want some help? I could try and track down some vendors if Moeller Arms, and American Reaper could not get them. PM me if you need anything.

I'll chip in, like Dan, these guys stood in the rain for my brother.  They deserve the best.

Ok, here's the tentative plan.  We are going to set up a donation drive and I will order the cases.
 
Anyone wanting to donate please PM me and I will give you the address to send a check to, your I can meet up most anywhere in Lincoln.
Also, Rod has stated he would accept donations at the shop in LaVista.
Preliminary findings look like $30ish apiece before shipping, but what ever you can help with would be appreciated.

tstuart34- if you have the time and can do some searching and find the best deal (cost and shipping) that would be great.  Just get back to me so I can get it rolling.  I'm looking at the Carbine Length with the lining. 

THANK YOU ALL for stepping up and helping those that stood for us.

Thank you for getting this put together. Are you sure the guns are carbines and not M1 Garands?

He told me they were the .30 Carbines, but I think I will go take a visit before I place the order, just to be certain.

Would it hurt to get rifle-length in case they may do double-duty?  (I don't know what they've got---do they ONLY use carbines, or both?)

This is a great cause, folks, and it is really cool to see so many people wanting to help out.

if you are ordering these online, i always google the store name with coupon code or discount code.  you never know what codes are out there and i am usually successful.  just don't click on any strange sites.

You want some help? I could try and track down some vendors if Moeller Arms, and American Reaper could not get them. PM me if you need anything.

So the cheapest that I could find on the net is the Link above. They offer a 10% discount on orders over  $50. It basically wipes out the shipping. I sent them a e-mail and did not get a response so I gave them a call. I didn't get much of a response from the guy that answered the phone but he said that I would need to talk with the owner of the company but he is currently at SHOT or some other trade show. He said he should be back next week and to try back again. I will call back Monday or Tuesday and see if they can help out anymore.

Guys, I would love to do that, but as of yesterday all the cost AND shipping has been covered! I never thought we would do this in such short time. 
Thanx to DanW, JeepGuy, Metaldoc, Gonzo, bkent, on my end, and Rod had a few checks come into to him Names???
I thank all of you for helping with this cause.  I think we could/ should definitely do this on a yearly basis.
 Once all the donations have been deposited, I will be placing an order. 
How about I try and set it up to donate these to the guys on Feb 18th while everyone is in town?  That would be a great thing for the afternoon!

Are you going to continue to collect donations to help with of there other expenses or could we find another VFW to help? I haven't had a chance to get ahold of you to give you my donation...
