The Calgary CGNutters got their 10 Nov 2007 Clinic last year. So I gotta deliver on an Edmonchuk M14 clinic like I promised. Here goes.... 
* Date: Sat 08 Nov 2008
* Location: Spruce Grove Gun Club (SGGC)
* Cost: $ 45 (SGGC wants $ 10 per head for non-members shooting)
* 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 that 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 $ 45 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: Forget the form.... it's too cumbersome! We'll just stick with the fee ! Much simpler that way. I'm doing without the form for the SW Ontario clinic and it's working fine. Only a few weeks left.

Okay, in the interest of QC and more attention I can pay towards each of you, I gotta consider capping the attendance. I know it's a PITA, for those of you who could not register, but I gotta be fair and deliver a great clinic to the early birds....
I will coordinate all attendees and correspondence on this thread. Regular updates to follow once I can firm up the facilities at the Spruce Grove GC. Keep checking this list to ensure that I got your form and yer $ amount correctly.
