    I'd vote YES! Its a great idea if you think about all the people with AR's wanting to build these dayz. You could provide a good thing BUT I would have some guidlines like you have to pass a series of tests to comfirm your not an idiot when working on your buddies AR and don't know how to properly headspace it!

    More updates here. If you want to register and pay for class you can now do so via Mossie Tactics.

    There will be a class in Marana, AZ on October 29/30. Initially this was a closed class but it just may open up. I am waiting for a response from the host agency.

    I am working the details for a class in the Bay Area of California for the near future.

    I would ask that everyone bear with me as things develop. There are going to be some rocky roads but eventually things will smooth out.

    To me the AR15 type is a really simple gun to work on and is usually bolt together/bolt on. Now the Garand or M1a is a machinist, trained gunsmith job for the major work like a barrel install.

    There's a lot of pitfalls however. I see a lot of mistakes made on the forums. And trouble shooting a gun can be tricky.... even for the most experienced of us.

    When Gunz is out of town, I oversee a good dozen or so ARs, and every so often I'll get a curve ball that humbles me.

    And Guaging a deployed gun to check for excess wear and damage? Forget it.

    Mechanically the AR isn't complex, but there's plenty of room for mistakes.

    There is room for mistakes in a changing a tire too. People can screw up anything if their mind is mush. But the AR is about the simplest platform there is for a modern combat rifle.

    Guess how many people have repeatedly proven you wrong?

    Amen, surprised by how many people don't even know the functions. Broken down to the bones of it, they really are remarkable.

    I'd love to take the class just to get the tips and tricks.
