AR15 Armorer Course

October 28 - 29, 2010

Greg "Sully" Sullivan

SLR15 Rifles was recently featured as the March 2006 SWAT Magazine Cover Story. Our Armoring Course has been taught for a decade all over the country. The armoring course with our shooting course was reviewed in SWAT Magazine September 2004 Article. This course is currently mentioned in the August 2006 issue of SWAT Magazine, and you will see another great picture of one of our rifles in the December 2006 (pg.74) issue as well.

Here is a brief overview of what is covered during this very busy hands on full 2-days of AR15/M16 Armoring:

Tool Options and Selection
Iron Sights (A1/A2/A3) Disassembly/Reassembly

SOP/MOD Accessories and Additions

All tools, manuals, and anything else that is necessary is supplied. We will provide rifles with prior arrangements so we know how many to bring. We prefer that students bring their own weapon systems to get familiar with their own configuration and modifications, plus this allows the time for a good thorough cleaning and inspection, plus we can replace and repair any parts necessary. This is a very intensive course that we cover in 2-days, so be prepared to get a lot of hands on knowledge. All that successfully complete this course will receive Armorer's Certification, and will also have an opportunity to purchase a SLR15 rifle at a special Armorer's rate.

Cost: $350
