I need to build up my shim (brass or stainless is fine) stock collection after hosting 4 recent (in the past year) M14 clinics. I went to Home Depot, but they looked at me real funny. Must have been my haircut. 
For those M14 newbies: The shim stock us used to pound out tiny thin washer-like shims to fit in between the shoulder of the barrel and the gas cylinder assembly. This reduces the tendency of the gas cylinder parts/assembly to vibrate robbing you of your consistency from shot to shot, and hence opening up your groups. Wow, that was a mouthful.
You will carry out this modification when you attend my M14 clinic or merely bring your M14 to the gunsmith, and they will say, "WTF are you talking about?"
or some will say, "Just download the 2004 M14 Abbotsford Clinic and carry this out for yourself." Those are the 'smiths that want to empower (not by extensior cord) YOU to tweak your own M14. 
You machinist or tool and die types got any suggestions ? Princess Auto ?
I did check out the local RONA and Ukrainian Tire with negative results.
I've got to get ready for the Sudbury Clinic coming up in 20 Sep 2008.
Cheers,
Barney
