I just thought I would let everyone on this forum know I received a Gen 1 Glock mag in the mail this afternoon.
I picked up a gen 1 Glock about two months ago. It only came with one mag, so I put a "wanted to buy" post up in Swappin. Plate Plinker said he might have one. We conversed via PM for a week or so, and he said that as soon as he got a Glock 19, he would give me a high cap Gen 1 mag (they sell for 80-100 dollars) for two new Glock mags. I was happier than a Peacock.
Well.......a few weeks passed (I was in no rush) and I got an email saying he got a Glock. In the meantime, I found a good deal on a mag. at a local fun show, and I let him know that I had found the mag I wanted. He wished me well. I told him thank you, and I forgot about the conversations as the days flew by.
I got home today with a package in the mail. I opened it up, and I was looking at a gen 1 mag with a note that simply said "enjoy this mag". I know you all understand my thoughts and feelings about receiving a gift from a perfect stranger.
I am still blown away some 4 hours later. If you happen to chat with plate plinker in the next day or so, I sure would appreciate iif you all let him know you heard this story. I have not contacted him yet to say thanks--wanted to tell you all this first. I have a few things I want to offer him as a token of my appreciation. Whether he accepts is another story. However, I will return this random act of kindness to another feller or gal.
My hat is off and I do not have enough gratitude to give. I have met many fine folks on here. Thank you to all the kind hearted souls who measure life in deeds given rather than received.
Respectfully,
Casey B
