Hungry Calgary M14 Clinic 24-25 July 2010 Debrief here!
- Thread starter Hungry
- Start date
We will do whatever (advanced stuff like bedding someone's M14 rifle project) we can with the resources we have (tools, clamps, vise, welding truck ha ha ha you kind folks show up with) at the time of the clinic.
At the March 2010 Smith Falls, ON clinic we Devcon'ed one M14 into a Boyd's lam stock. All depends on what shows up.
Say, while we are yakking... anybody got a bedding project? We are only a month away! Yeeeeeha!!
Cheers,
Barney

Bedding
I will attend Sunday with a bone stock SA M1A. I will bring the GI fiberglass stock I have purchased and intend to bed. I have a National Match flash hider with lug. I also have the Smith mount and a leupold MK4 3.5-10 X 40 M3 as they use on many of the US Army's SDM rifles.
This should be fun.

Barney,
Are you going to check the headspace of all M14s at the clinic?
Mine has not seen any gunsmith yet, just shot it a couple times last summer.
It's just a plain stock 2009 Norc M305 rifle.

Hungry here: Bring along at least 3 fired brass cases. Will have the tools with me.

We are getting closer! Yahoooo 
Let's get down to some nitty-gritty....
For the Sunday I've already established a volunteer rifle/stock to be glass bedded with Devcon (I'll supply this). This is a very advanced technique and not for the newbies, unless I show you where to screw up and how the mistakes WILL happen, but with my tutelage, yer #### won't fall off.
Nobody have volunteered their rig service truck (read : welding machine so that we can TIG/MIG weld the gas cylinders to the front band). Any experienced (read: oil rig) welders out there willing to volunteer this chance to be a hero? We had lots of help at the Edmonton Spruce Grove clinic back in Nov 08, 2008 clinic. Hey... why does that date sound familiar?
The Sunday clinic is starting to fill up.

Thank you for your clarification Barney.
I will be a happy man>>> M14 owner after your clinic.
Regarding the MIG welder, I know we have one in our machine shop but it's 220v and I need to talk to production manager if I can borrow it. I will PM you later.

Taylor-Made, go anyway. You'll learn all the thing you can do to your Marstar M305 before you get it....Well worth the stale jokes....
My sentiments exactly... you are gonna learn a whole crap load.
Buckaroo... bedding job ? Excellent! Bring the bedding stock and barreled receiver along. Got a Dremel tool with that 1/16" or 3/32" ball head on it ?
Barney
Yes folks, Buckaroo has a bedding job for all of you to learn from while he does all the grunt work and I show you how to bed an M14 using my "finger of authority" or Simply put "Here's where your really will fzck up..." approach.
Packing the M14 tools right now..... Grease syringes are inbound from a California Veterinarian Supply place.

Folks, my syringes are here. For $ 2.00 you get a Monoject curved tip syringe and that includes the grease. White lithium grease! They are curved tip so that you can grease your hammer hooks while leaving the rifle in the stock!
