Welcome to the Wile E. Coyote School of Gunsmithing (WECSOG). This forum was inspired by various thread on the FAL Files (www.l1a1.com), particularly those recorded experiences of Gary Jeter and his fellow FAL builders.
This group exists for the home and non-professional gunsmith to share tips and techniques for building, repairing, and modifying firearms. Professional gunsmiths are welcome, and even encouraged, but keep in mind that this group caters to those who don't own a working machine shop.

"SEMPER DREMELATUS"

Here are the rules for WECSOG:

Rule 1. The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going "Beep-Beep! (or WTF!)"

Rule 2. No outside force can harm the Coyote - only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products.

Rule 3. The Coyote could stop anytime - if he were not a fanatic. ("A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim." - George Santayana)

Rule 4. No dialogue ever, except "Beep-Beep! (or WTF)"

Rule 5. The Road Runner must stay on the road (or the FAL board). (i.e. the name Road Runner)

Rule 6. All action must be confined to the Southwest American Desert. (natural environment of the two characters...or the FAL board and the basement of Jeter's shack)

Rule 7. All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conviniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.

Rule 8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.

Rule 9. The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.

Rule 10. The audience's sympathy must remain with the Coyote.

Rule 11. Devices which don't work when activated should be jumped up and down on or pushed against...whichever is more likely to cause personal (Coyote) injury.

Rule 12. Explosives are proximity based...i.e. they only work near the instigator.

Rule 13. Everything falls faster than an anvil (I can't believe you forgot this one).

Rule 14. The only reason ole Wile E. never got anything to work was because he didn't have a DREMEL!
