I passed 2500 posts so lets do a Craftsman-Poker Karma [closed, prizes awarded]

[colt_saa]

Bet I had you wondering what I was talking about.

I have a small supply of Sears Craftsmen poker chips and Sears Craftsmen playing cards.

I am going to give somebody one sealed sleeve of each color poker chip and a sealed deck of cards.

I am going to try and make this a learning Karma so that we all win.

RULES:
You MUST have been a Forum member prior to 1 minute past midnight on January 21st of this year.

You MUST have your E-mail in your profile. I have had to re-Karma things twice so update your profile.

ONE Entry per Person

On February 28th the Karmanator will pick a winner from those Forum Members that have correctly responded to the following questions. Some questions may appear to have several answers, you need to list the one I am looking for.

1) There are several reasons why Jan 21st is significant. Give me the one relevant to us.

2) Why was stainless steel originally invented?

3) What year was Smith & Wesson Founded?

4) Who was one of the major financiers of Smith & Wesson when it was founded?

5) Who is the Fastest Man with a Handgun that ever lived?

1- Don't know.
2- Maybe for surgical tools
3-1865, I could find out real quick, but I'm pretty settled in right here.
4- don't know
5- don't know

5 responses, did they have to be right?

My original thought was that they all had to be correct to win.

Perhaps I should offer an additional prize for the group that does not get them all correct.

Did I make the history scavenger hunt too tough?

OK here is part 2.

Any one that wants to enter the Karma without answering the questions must still meet the other requirements.

This person will get a sealed deck of the Craftsman playing cards.

I would have to do way too much research to win a deck of cards. Good luck with your Karma.

Actually Joe you have to do absolutely nothing but post to the thread to get in on the deck of cards

So you are already in the running

Superb answer to #5

Though I was thinking more along the lines of a shooter and not someone carrying a gun at high speed.

 

[sw1834]

On earth, the answer to #5 would be Bob Munden !!!!!!

SWCA #1834

 

[colt_saa]

Even though it has not run it's course, I am going to call this KARMA dead. I just overestimated the Forum Members' desire for firearms knowledge.

If anyone is interested the answers are:
1) There are several reasons why Jan 21st is significant. Give me the one relevant to us.
John Moses Browning was born

2) Why was stainless steel originally invented?
To provide corrosion resistance in rifle barrels

3) What year was Smith & Wesson Founded?
1852, that is why S&Ws club is called the 1852 Club

4) Who was one of the major financiers of Smith & Wesson when it was founded?
Oliver Winchester

5) Who is the Fastest Man with a Handgun that ever lived?
Bob Munden

I am going to award prizes to the two gentlemen that at least made an effort to answer question 5.

I am sending Old TexMex a Apollo 11 30th year commemerative NASA Medalion that is made from the metal of the Apollo Gantry

I was looking for something from Bob to send to sw1834, but I just don't have too much around the house. So I am going to send a messenger bag. It is large enought for most average laptops or a S&W or two. Which ever way you want to go.

 

[JJEH]

Very generous colt_ssa. NASA stuff is simply nice.

 

[Old TexMex]

Wow, I'm really jazzed. I've been carrying a challenge coin for a long time, (actually have a few) But none from NASA, (since I wasn't an astronaut)THANK YOU SIR.

 

[sw1834]

Thank you,
This is my first Karma win on this forum, and is very generous of you. I can always use a new bag that holds a couple S&W's Now I have an excuse to buy a couple more.
Thanks again,
SWCA #1834
