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)


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 vies


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 want to swap my gas cylinder lock .It is time to attend another M14 clinic. Count me in.
 
Whoops I forgot to add.... bring some $$$ since there will likely be M14 upgraded parts. I’m thinking of the S&J Op Rod Spring Guides...

Haim:

Just got your EMT. Big thanks

Cheers, Barney

This is down the street from me and on my birthday - it was meant to be. I have a project shorty whose index doesn't quite look right.

I encourage any M305/M14/M1A/M1 Garand enthusiast to attend one of these clinics. The help and information given is amazing and well worth it.

Cheers,

Rich

My god, I've been grumbling to myself that I didn't think I'd ever be near one of your clinics. And now you're heading to my home area just days after I leave my course in Borden and I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on my LRB receiver to match to my heavy USGI parts kit from Wolverine.... I guess it wasn't meant to be :(

And I’m only 45 minutes from Base Borden. :eek: Bummer!!

Before I sign up for this one do you have any plans on having a clinic closer to the Ontario/Quebec border?
Thanks
I believe Garrison Petawawa is very close to the Quebec border..... last time I looked at a map....we did An M14Clinic there a season ago...
Last year MartyK2500 and I had organized a clinic in Gatineau, QC... we had to cancel after we only had four paid up attendees. It is what it is....
Oh yeah for four Years each March John at Marstar hosted me in VanKleek Hill, On. We sure had a great time. We would always attract over 20 people. That’s was what got my business rolling.

80 clinics later we are still at it!! :wave:


Cheers, Barney

So, any plans for this year? Would love to a have a clinic in Vankleek Hill.

After 80 clinics I’ve come to believe a supportive point man is key to running a clinic. And it looks like the Eastern Ontario are has been saturated with my experts hahahaha

At my last clinic in 25 November 2018 we had 11 folks there. My numbers for M14 clinics are nowhere near my crews for CQB and PR.... I’ll let you all do the math...

In the meantime we have one heck of a community here from Montreal to Easterm Ontario and we discovered this great fact at the Meaford LRSC this past September 2017....

Cheers :wave:
