Orleans? You are half way to EOHC in Cheney, which is just outside the limits of the city of Ottawa. Eastern Ontario Handgun Club has a shed with benchs for 100 and 200 yds, and at least 4 50m pistol bays for IPSC. There are some new shotgun layouts that I don't know much about.
The M14 clinic is planned for Sunday 25th of Aug in Smiths Falls. Tinker in the morning and test fire in the afternoon. This would be the ideal event for you to meet some of the CGN'ers, learn about your best M14 and shoot a few magazines under safe range officer control.

I don't have an M14 but I'd love to meet some of you guys and learn a bit
maple_leaf_eh, the 25th is a Saturday
If I'm in town I'd love to pop by. Not sure if I'll be here or in Peterborough though.
DOOH! Sunday is the 26th of August. That's what I get for winging it. And now I've used up my one mistake for the month of July. Better be careful until the new month.

- Location
- Just outside the Ottawa City Limits!
I just had a call from the Directors of the club,
I had a brain fart and screwed up dates.
The club house is busy on the 26th for an all day Hunting Seminar.
We have to reschedule or do it elsewhere.
Sorry, I should have known as I do the web updates.
Either 19th or 2nd or 9th?
Really sorry about this guys,

With regrets I must cancel the clinic
Barring availability of another location for the Sunday where we can talk and fix guns, I will have to cancel the clinic. If any of the participants or interested parties can offer such a place, please speak up. If we don't have a replacement venue in a week's time, we won't be seeing each other.
I am not a member of the RA Centre, and I know Connaught is stupid busy at that time. EOHC has a converted bus shelter for its "club house", and it is just too small. There is a range in Beachburg, but I'm a stranger there. Does anyone have a place at work or in their community, such as an indoor range or even a garage where the neighbours can't see in?
On the bright side, Marstar is listing sets of gas cylinder shims for $12.95 and new op rod spring guides for $38 or $40. In Hungry's words, these are two "#### loss prevention" must buys. Highly recommended because there are half your accuracy problems fixed.

There is a glimmer of hope that another club which has a very suitable clubhouse, and is closer to Ottawa than Smiths Falls may be available. I'll know before the weekend is over.
We will need a qualified Range Officer to conduct the test firing. The club might have one available, but if one of the participants is qualified, please identify yourself to me by pm.

I once offered my Barn/shop (It's about 2 hours west of Ottawa)... being private property and they are non-restricted firearms I believe shooting them isn't an issue...
But my being in Montreal the room never got finished. So it I'd still need to clean her up..
Room is 20X30 so there should be room for a good number....

Sunday 26 August, 0830 hrs doors open, 0900 hrs clinic starts, 1200 hrs clinic ends, rifle range open for testfiring afterwards.
Bring you Norinco rifle, ammo, magazines, any spare parts you might have, and hand tools you normally use for stripping and assembly.
I'll bring my M14 specialty tools, some shims and a spare Marstar spring guide. For demonstration purposes, I will bring an old batch Norinco, a newly arrived Norinco, and a good Breda M1 Garand.
Pack a lunch and coffee. The clubhouse is very pleasant with parking nearby. There will be other shooters on site, but my contact will be busy elsewhere that morning.
I will be RO unless we get a club member to stand in.
(PM has my particulars and contact info)
