Charles "GEO" Britton Family Fund

Charles "GEO" Britton Family Fund | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

FROM: Eric Engler--Engler Custom Paintall Guns

"I am sad to hear of the death of my Oklahoma D-Day friend Charles Britton "Geo" will be missed by many and was a friend to the Paintball community as well as the Airsoft community. The Airsoft Community has setup this fund fund to help out his family and if you feel inclined, please help out the family of someone who would do anything he could to help someone out. http://geofund.eventbrite.com/#

 

TO HELP....CLICK AND HEAD TO THE EVENTBRITE Site set up to helkp GEO's family!


"Attn: Family and Friends of Charles “GEO” Britton

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend, Geo.  He was a rock in the airsoft community, and he will be deeply missed.  Geo had an infectious personality and always gave of himself, quite sacrificially.  If anyone he met had a need he could fill, he did it without hesitation. 

Well, fellow airsofters, Geo’s family stands in need, with the loss of Charles "GEO" Britton.

 

If you would like to help meet those needs, please make a monetary donation, in memory of our friend, Geo.  The family has asked us to accept these donations in lieu of flowers for the memorial service, and also to continue accepting donations until the end of June to aid them with expenses.

 

Geo never had a lot, but what he had he shared with his friends.  It is time we honor him by returning the favor, and coming to the aid of his family’s financial needs.  Please give what you can, and let’s show his family how much he meant to our airsoft community.

 

Note: eventbrite adds a small service fee to donation tickets."

Thumpy Covey's insight:

CHRIS BOGGS and the guys from ARKANSAS AIRSOFT OUTLAWS reached out to the 3-D House of Airsoft to help get out the word on the passing of a great MilSim/Paintball/Airsoft guy this weekend.  Known well across the midwest, Charles "GEO" Britton passed away, and his friend would like to help his family....

News - Indiana Public Media - Columbus City Council To Consider Regulating Air Guns

News - Indiana Public Media - Columbus City Council To Consider Regulating Air Guns | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it
Police Chief Jason Maddix says the city will attempt to to regulate air guns which look like their more lethal cousins.
Thumpy Covey's insight:

Another community where the police/craptastic plastic guns interface has reached critical mass for local LEO's...I'd love some help identifying those guns on the table in front of the Chief.  And, we'd also like to know if he's planning on regulating the SALE or POSSESSION of these by kids who's parents bought them as toys.  THEY ARE NOT TOYS, CHIEF...and if you'd just charge a few people under the laws already on the books AND do some public education/media effort, you wouldn't have to put on a dog-and-pony show like this....PEOPLE WOULD GET THE MESSAGE THAT ITS WRONG!

David M. Dabney's comment, Today, 8:08 AM
Unfortunately, Thump, there's some mouthbreather out there who gives more of a damn about his (and his kid's) 2d Amendment 'rights' than about public safety and keeping his kid alive one more day... *smdh*

REAL STEEL- Arsenal, Inc. closing out the SLR-106 AK's

REAL STEEL- Arsenal, Inc. closing out the SLR-106 AK's | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

"PRODUCTION ENDING ON POPULAR SLR-106 SERIES 

 

(LAS VEGAS) – After nearly a decade since its initial introduction into the firearms marketplace, the SLR-106 series is getting a change in to “Collector’s Item.” Production on the series officially ended. The SLR-106 rifle and pistol series was Arsenal’s answer to the 5.56 caliber as the company looked to compete in that arena. The years to follow brought much success with several variations and configurations, robust sales and recognition as one of the industry’s best -- due in-part to its chrome-lined and hammer-forged barrel.

“In my opinion, the SLR-106 series of rifles, perfectly bridge the gap from east to west. Furthermore, the advancements made in the manufacturing this rifle series will be seen on future models by our company for years to come.” – Walker English, Sales Director, Arsenal, Inc.

A comprehensive audit of the current offerings in the firearms industry, recent trends and near-future shifts with regard to technology and advancement all factored into the decision to discontinue the series. Arsenal’s obligations with military and government contracts, production for the movie industry and commitments to distributors and dealers also shaped this decision. The current stock of SLR-106 5.56 caliber rifles and pistols will continue to be sold until supply runs out. Arsenal’s availability list is displayed below. Additional SLR-106 products can be found by checking with Arsenal’s distributors and various dealers nationwide."

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Yea, time to move up to newer versions of the real-steel AK's put out by Vegas-based ARSENAL from their hammer-forging shops in Bulgaria...but 'softers can still get some solid practice in with their CLASSIC ARMY Licensed Arsenal AK's...in our opinion, some of the best pure-airsoft AK's for mix of build and price out there.  Really.
