Correct, the course gets you a certification from Armalite, but more importantly you get the instruction and benefit from the hands-on experience. You also have a unique opportunity to benefit from the experience of armorers from the factory who also did this work for our military prior to their civilian employment. For folks with ties to the military and LE this course can be used for training credits and in cases may be fully compensated by their employers. This course is normally only taught to LE or military and this is Armalite's first "all civilian" course.

What's needed for the course? Do we need to own an AR already, or have certain tools? Also, what times do the classes run? I ask because I'm moving this weekend (curses!), but I'd dearly love to take the course if I can swing it. Lemme know!

I'm a Glock guy.
I want an AR. Is it out of the question to even consider taking this class without even so much as field stripping one before? Not much time is left to get the basics.
If they run it again, I would have more time to get the pre-req's.
I have above average mechanical skills, but I would not want to hold the class back considering that I have not even read the manual before.
I am serious, just not well qualified at the moment.![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")

well there are no pre-reqs excpet basic firearm knowedge. i can't evene say when such a course will be offered again. Its a rarity. The decision is yours and I don't want to discourage you. let me know by PM or email if you are going - there's very littel time left.

Edit: I see 2Ball is kind enough to lend one. That's very generous. If you've fired an AR and know how it basically operates I'd say go for it!
I signed up and honestly the AR is probably one of the firearms I know least about. Yet, it's really easy to field strip. If you have good mechanical skills I think you'd do fine.
