Name: Tactical Teacher
Question: What was your OLD CGN handle? I was not always tacticalteacher, you know. :cool:
Answer: hungry (low caps, no spaces) that way I cannot screw things up
Email: hungry556 AT bell.net

Somewhere in the EMT, remind me of your CGN handle AND which clinic it's for (PR or CQB or M14)

RBC tweaked my EMT software into direct deposit...so EMT process may be shorter!


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 try to 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 M14
- Lots of networking and socializing all the time. This is priceless.
- I am Set up to do indexing....have my large hitch mounted vise and pickup truck!


Things to bring for Day 1:


* Your M14 rifle or receiver(s) with barrel(s) to be installed
* Your M14 (or two if you got them)
* Notebook, pens, digital camera, rags,
* Ball peen hammer, Allen keys SAE and Metric

I got it all done last night while the Leafs were ahead 5-1 and then Mariner put the sixth goal past Reimer. You and your bud are good to go for the 23 Feb Clinic.
Now to get working on the 2019 Precision Rifle dates in Garrison Petawawa

Cheers

I don't see myself on this list. I called the store and requested a spot, so I hope that is well. 10am meet at store in Oshawa this Sat?
Thanks,
Jason

Okay, this is a first. Of course you can’t / don’t see your name on my list. Hahahahaha. Once you send the killer sky high super expensive cost of $60 to me by EMT I will get you down on my list.

As you can see, we are gonna have a greater learning session due to a nice comfortable class size!

Cheers, Barney
 
OK Barney, a non-M14, but gastronomical question here. I've only been to Gunworx for the PR Reloading Clinic you and Ryan did there a while back, but lunch was already included in the cost. For the lower price of this clinic, I wasn't expecting lunch included, so question is: Are we stepping out for lunch, or should we bring a brown bag lunch (and drinks) with us?, to stay on premises and save time? Just wondering.
Cheers.
 
The answer is YES!

We break around 12ish for an hour. Many brown bag and many step out to Subway or Timmy’s. We are not far from Bloor Street where the businesses are located.

I stay on station to answer anybody’s questions.....

One more sleep!! My truck is packed. I have the cheater bar and also the 2” hitch mounted vise. I have all my tools and punches. I’m hoping you handy dudes brought big hammers, NO cabinet makers’ hammers, get real MEN hammers ! :evil:

I’ve got the pull through reamer in 308 if anyone has a barrel to install. Last clinic we had several barrels installed and all of them were usgi and no final or finish reaming was needed.

Your thoughts?? Bring on the questions!

It’s gonna be a great driving day tomorrow! :wave:

Cheers, Barney

So glad you ad a pile of fun and then learned more. That’s always great. Thanks for the super words. I got home for 2130 hours last night, I had to unload my M14 gear and reload the truck with 5 Air rifles , shooting mats, and scopes! We had some sort of zone or region air rifle competition in Orangeville early today (Sunday morning). Another early start this weekend.

I had a riot at the clinic sharing the knowledge and love of the M14 platform once again! I’m so pleased we were able to put together a few IDF parts kits and get your dreams rolling along. Super happy that we indexed a couple of barrels and then installed three Garand barrels all at the same Go.

And finally the last job was cutting a chamber or finish reading that newly installed 308 barrel, so cool to get these jobs done at the CDN Gunworkx shop!

Thanks to the family for letting us use that facility once again! We are back there on Saturday 30 March...hope we can get your build happening for yo

Also big thanks to Cameron for his help. We are a great team!

Cheers, Barney
 
Thanks for running another great M14 clinic Barney. That was my 3rd one, and each time I learned some new things. This time, I really enjoyed seeing the chamber reaming done on the other fellow's rifle. Never seen it done before, and it was very enlightening, to see how it can be done fairly easily with the right tools. I also learned about the hit and miss quality of the Norc M305 front sights, hah, hah, when I had initially suspected a possible error in the barrel indexing (turned out not so). So now I know my stock Norc sight is crap and that a good USGI front sight (with dovetail flats milled on the proper level datum) should fix the problem. Thanks to the Gunworx folks too, as they always are great hosts, and it's a great place to have workshops like that one. Once I get further along with one of my Garand projects down the road, I'll probably attend another. ;)
Cheers.
 
It was a sweet ride, definitely learned a lot and will consider attending again for sure! Big thanks to Barney, Cameron, and Gunworx for hosting it! There was a student who handed out to everyone a small bolt roller lubrication tool he made from spent .45 casings, I didn't catch your name, but thank you for doing it! It was a great crowd where everyone helped each other out! Looking forward to attend again, or any one of Barney's other clinics.
Cheers
