It's official! Suprapeg is my point man to coordinate the Winnipeg Hungry M14 Clinic for you prairie dudes! Boy am I ever happy to return out west to spread the M14 LOVE ! :D

* Date: Saturday 04 April 2009
* Location: Selkirk Rod & Gun Club (or something like that)

Here is the location: http://selkirkgameandfish.ca/index.p...19&Itemi d=37

Selkirk Fish and Game Club for those who may be confused.


* Cost: $ 35
* Timings: 0900 start - Likely finish up around 1600 hrs

Material Covered:

- Tools for tweaking, tools to avoid, tools that are nice to have but expensive, tools that are overrated and too expensive
- Gadgets that are nice to have, need to have, and useless to have (but I had to buy it to show you)
- Tools that you can make yourself instead of buying, tools that you can have buddies (owe you favors) make up for you
- Stripping the boomstick (you will be surprised at what I can show you)
- Assembling the boomstick, and what to look for so that worthwhile tweaks can be or should be made
- Tweaks that work, tweaks that don't work, expensive tweaks so yer #### does not fall off
- Useless tweaks unless you have more money than shooting ability (many stories to follow at the clinic)
- Common pitfalls, expensive tweaks that work, more ways to ensure that yer #### don't fall off
- Lunch and then tweaking in the afternoon, shimming, pounding out more shims (all hands on activities)
- Lots of networking and socializing all the time. This is priceless (even if the $ 35 only covers my costs).


* Things to bring: your M14, some basic tools, notebook, pens, digital camera, rags, ball peen hammer, punches, screwdrivers, more punches, TIG Welder, Service Truck (vise for rebarreling), fired brass for us to measure, plastic or rubber mallet, wood block or 2, Black and Decker Workmate (clamping ability for your barreled action or stock), masking tape, duct tape, Loctite (blue and red stuff), more to follow as I remember or remind myself.

* Registration: PM (don't use email) me on the board. I'll send you payment instructions. You can choose EMT (electronic money transfer for you online banking fans) or Snail Mail cheques/buried cash. We'll just stick with the fee ! I will use this forum (right here ) to monitor the numbers and payment details. With your payment, ensure that you remind me of your CGN handle and what location the clinic is in since I'm running a clinic a month... these days.

PrairieMedic has said we can use the range for test firing if needed as well. Anyone know how to TIG weld and can bring a welder? I have a vice I can bring but its a bit small, if anyone can bring a larger one let me know and I'll leave the baby one at home. I'm pretty excited, if this goes well then we'll try and do a VZ58 clinic in the fall.
 
This is why I'm spoiled by Sosa and the Edmonton clinic (not to mention the Skullboy hosted Abbotsford clinic)..... We were able to provide huge vise environment and as a result we rebarreled a shztload of rifles at each clinic. :D When you have clinic facilities/tools like that, I can make learning into magical moments (without any drugs, either :D )
 
Any of you guys who are coming capable TIG welders? We should have a TIG and a decient vice at the clinic we just need a welder.
 
We will have to wait and see on the welder. It is going to depend on whether our welders are on a job site or not come April. If it is in use I will not be able to bring it so that is still up in the air.

As far as parkerizing Hungry can show you how to do that but it takes a fairly well ventilated shop and a ready supply of water from what I remember.
 
Is there something to bolt the vise down to? I can try and get one from a friends workbench. What size are we thinking of?

As far as I know there is a stove in the clubhouse. PrairieMedic will be able to tell us for sure.

If there isn't 220 with a plug (and the stove might not be on a plug), then we need an inverter welder that can run off 110. I could tig mine here at home, but to be honest I didn't want to do it without parkerizing. As for hauling tig equipment to the Selkirk range, its a heck of a heavy piece of equipment if your talking about an old transformer based machine. A syncrowave weighs around 400 lbs!
 
We apparently have a relatively portable one. If I do bring it I can do any power hook ups for it so I am not worried about that.
 
We may have a welder coming out to do the work as well. We can also park people's rifle's etc but is would have to go in one of our batches so there would be a cost involved, it would be a professional job though.
