    For those interested, it is in 'course announcements'.

    This may be a stupid suggestion, but instead of a required tool list have you thought of trying to work a deal with tool suppliers you trust so as to offer a toolkit as part of the training package? It might make you a little more money and would make it easier for a total neophyte. Just a thought.

    I think this is a great idea. A person could sign up for the class, make payment, and receive via shipment to them a set of reliable standard tools to use in class and at home. This could alleviate any stock issues that brownells or whatever supplier someone would buy from as an individual who wanted to attend class. It would suck to have a class come to your area that you were unable to attend because brownells was out of stock of vice blocks or roll pin punches or whatever. Or make it an itemized list that your store would sell only to people who had signed up for the class so people wouldn't be buying duplicate parts that they may already have

    Please contact me via email (cggunz@hotmail.com) to sign up for the Georgia class or to get additional information. I will provide a basic required tool list shortly.
    Gonna talk to my wife about this class in GA being my Christmas gift this year. No issues with Civvy's getting in to the PD?

    Definitely I would. Wouldn't matter what state it was in. If I wanted the knowledge and ability to tear down and build up my rifles (To and above standard) I would make that happen.

    My military armorers course lacked. I learned a lot but it still lacked.

    Been through some of this before, but I'd take the seat to your left (or right) if we brought something like this to Fayetteville.

    If you had something going in The Portland Or or Reno Nv, or maybe even thru Rainier arms I'd make the trip. I think your class would be interesting and we would learn a ton.

    I would absolutely be interested and would be willing to advertise as necessary in order to bring a group together here locally. I know there are quite a few shooters where I'm stationed. go figure... I think shooting is some what a kin to sport bikes racing (or cars for you slow guys) the better you know your vehicle the faster and more efficiently you can drive/repair it.

    Or if you were going to do one where your stationed I'd be willing to make the drive. let me know.

    Not to be the tightwad in the group but would there be a discount for a primarily military class. I think I would be able to get a fair amount of people interested but they, not knowing, might find the price a bit much.
