More door prizes are on the way. Unfortunately, the elves went AWOL. My understanding is they have been helping some fat dude in a red suit.

They weren't helping me; must have been some other fat dude in a red suit.

Sigh...  Guess it's time to pick up their slack!

okay it's my turn, here to tell ya about the next door prize they're givin' away on Friday durin' that streamin' thing.

(https://i.imgur.com/PhsXnX2m.jpg)

you and me, we both know there's only one thing that could make my Vera any better than she is. And you know I'm telling the truth, cuz I ain't no low-down dirty deceiver...

This here is a LaRue MBT-2S trigger. It's a precision-machined, two-stage trigger designed for AR-15 and AR-10 platforms with small pin lower receivers. It is crafted from solid S7 tool steel and features a crisp 4.5-pound pull weight, consisting of a 2.5-pound first stage and a 2-pound second stage, with a smooth and positive reset.

It's my very most favorite trigger 😏

For 11 months of 2025, Project Appleseed gave away a $1000 Palmetto State Armory gift card to one lucky student per month!

Now we're giving away these door prizes are our way of saying "Thank you!" to our dedicated Appleseed Volunteers. But we'd love our students and supporters to attend and cheer for them!

Remember, tune in TOMORROW NIGHT, January 2, 8 Eastern, 7 Central.


Volunteers should enter their Forum Names into the live chat (at the door :cool2: ) on the YouTube broadcast. ChuckA, our Special Project guy, will record the names and put them all in a bin for the door prizes.

Then hang out!  Watch the live feed!  Learn about the awesome stuff that's planned for 2026! And listen to see if YOUR NAME is drawn for one of these prizes.

What are your questions?  :)
