This rifle was built for MSG Jared Van Aaalst. Jared was the only one to shoot this rifle. MSG Van Aalst was assigned to the USAMU at the time he was sponsored by us to shoot this rifle in the National and Interservice competitions. MSG Van Aalst was reassigned back to his Ranger Group and later was reassigned to Ft Bragg, NC. On August 4, 2010 MSG Jared Van Aalst was killed in Afghanistan. He received his 2nd Bronze Star and 3rd Purple Heart posthumously, it was his sixth deployment to that region. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery on August 25, 2010 with highest military honors. Jared was born in New Hampshire on September 1, 1975. May we never forget the sacrifice of our dear friend. He will forever be remembered and "Big Blue" will be a testament to our friend. May the Lord comfort his wife and daughters, he is gone but not forgotten. May we lift up his memory to those who are young today and show them that this man was honorable and great as husband, father, friend, and most of all a soldier. See you soon dear friend in heaven with our Lord and Savior.
