The Austrian StG58 parts kit came with a set of pressed-steel handguards, which were truly awful. I replaced these with a U.S.-made polymer version, which resulted in a grip that was much cooler (both in terms of temperature and looks) and more secure.
The salary range for adjuncts, however, can be considerably higher or lower, depending on the institution, the specialty and the terms of employment. Adjunct professors working as instructors average $45,977, while adjuncts with the title of lecturer earn $52,436. By comparison, adjuncts make almost half the salary of full-time tenured professors, whose salary averages $108,749. Earnings fluctuate by discipline, with education and humanities paying less than medicine, engineering, law and business.
Adjunct faculty, also known as part-time or contingent instructors, are increasingly joining unions in an effort to ward off cuts in already low hours, wages and benefits. Adjunct faculty now make up a majority of the higher education instructors nationwide, in a reversal from just a few decades ago.n adjunct professor would need to teach three to four classes to afford care for a heart attack at certain Boston hospitals. I carpool with my father, who happens to work in the same city where I teach, because I can not afford gas to drive 90 minutes roundtrip, three times a week.
