It's official, my first M1 Garand Clinic (after 46 M14 clinics, ha ha ha ha) in Petawawa. The M1 Garand is the grand daddy of the M14 and I've competed with M1 Garands for years and always in .308; interpret that as "I had to do my own barrel replacements."
AND YES, we will rebarrel or install your .30-06 Government issued barrel if you bring your build parts!
And YES, I am allowing the M14 and M1A rifles to come along and play and learn... I can multitask.
So if you have a receiver and a barrel to put together, we can make this happen for you at this clinic. I have all the tools. I can even install your .308 Win chambered barrel and then finish ream that chamber and then you test fire at Yankee Range on Sunday. How awesome is this clinic gonna be?
Warning: I've just been reminded that the CFB Petawawa's Range Standing Orders only allow .308 ammo on their ranges and that includes Yankee Range. Sorry No discussion is allowed nor will it be entertained. It's their range and we have to respect it. ONLY .308 (M14's, M305's, and .308 M1 Garands) are allowed to be shot. So plan accordingly for Sunday's practice.
Where:
CFB Petawawa, ON, Base Firehall Storage building (parking lot is where we always meet for the other clinics)
When:
ONLY Sunday, Nov 30th 2014. We got bumped off the Yankee Range, so it's only a single day clinic
Cost:
$ 80 for the weekend NOW $40 for the Single Sunday 30 Nov 2014
Timing:
Gather for 0830
Casual Start at 0900
Ending at 1600
Registration and Payment:
EMT the $40 to me with this information:
Name: Tactical Teacher
Question: What was your OLD CGN handle? I was not always tacticateacher, you know.
Answer: hungry (low caps, no spaces) that way I cannot screw things up
Email: hungry556 AT rogers.com
What is involved:
- 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)
- YES we will pull your rear sights apart, and then get serious with them
- 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 to tighten up your prized M1 Garand
- Lots of networking and socializing all the time. This is priceless.
- I am set up to install your USGI or Government .30-06 barrel, no finish chambering needed.
- I am set up to install your .308 Win barrel on your receiver and then FINISH Chamber, then you test fire at BRRC in the afternoon
Things to bring for Day 1:
* Your M1 Garand rifle or receiver(s) with barrel(s) to be installed
* Notebook, pens, digital camera, rags,
* Ball peen hammer, Allen keys SAE since this ain't an M14 clinic (well sort of)
* Punches, screwdrivers, more punches
* Plastic or rubber mallet, wood block or 2
* Masking tape, duct tape
Warning: I've just been reminded that the CFB Petawawa's Range Standing Orders only allow .308 ammo on their ranges and that includes Yankee Range. Sorry No discussion is allowed nor will it be entertained. It's their range and we have to respect it. ONLY .308 (M14's, M305's, and .308 M1 Garands) are allowed to be shot. So plan accordingly for Sunday's practice. Well, we ain't shooting anymore so this directive is irrelevant...
