SLR15 Grail in the SPEER GOLD DOT RIFLE AMMO AD







SLR15 Rifles has been featured in SWAT Magazine, Guns & Ammo Magazine Tactical Guns & Gear Annual, Shooting Times, Gun Digest, Guns & Weapons For Law Enforcement Magazine, and Precision Rifle Magazine. Our Armoring Course has been taught for a decade all over the country, and was reviewed in SWAT Magazine. This course covers all variants of the AR-15/M16/M-4 weapons system with 2-days of hands on training which goes far beyond basic disassembly & reassembly.


Here is a brief overview of what is covered in the Armorer Course and I can tell you it is a very busy hands on full 2-days of Armoring:
History of the Weapon
Cycles of Function
General Disassembly & Assembly
Identification of Common Problems and Parts
Nomenclature
Identification of Group Components
Semi, Burst, and Full Auto Parts and Conversions
Complete Armoring Disassembly / Assembly
Barrel Replacement
Cleaning and Maintenance
Sight and Distance Considerations
Ballistic Issues
Barrel Twist, Length, and Choices
Gas System
Parts Interchangability, including Brands
Headspace
Firing Pin Protrusion
Trigger Jobs
Chamber Inspection
Accessories and Customizing
Tool Options and Selection
Iron Sights (A1/A2/A3) Disassembly/Reassembly
Optics
SOP/MOD Accessories and Additions
Etc



The Advanced AR15/M16 Armorers Course takes the Armorer to a whole new level of knowledge and skill.
During this 2-day (16 hour) course the Armorer will get exposed to an extensive hands on curriculum.

The Advanced Armorer Course covers:
Cycles of Function & Diagnosis of Issues
Complete Disassembly / Assembly
Identification of Common & Uncommon Problems and Parts
Identification of Group Components & Rare Parts/Configurations
Chamber Reaming & Polishing
Accessories & Upgrades
Barrel Replacement & Modifications
Internal Barrel & Chamber Inspections
Feed Ramps
Crown Repair
Detailed Maintenance
Sight and Distance Considerations
Ballistic Issues
Headspacing & Inspections
Trigger Jobs
Detailed Trouble Shooting & Repair
M16 & Burst Conversions & Problems Association
Free Float Barrels / Foreends and Modifications
Gas Blocks & Front Sight Base (Pinning)
Flash Suppressors/Muzzle Brakes/Comps/Mounts
Tuning, Harmonics & Customizing
Custom Tools & Fixtures

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.

If anyone would like this course in their area, please contact us to make arrangements about getting it coordinated, all we need is a suitable classroom for a course and we will be there, the host gets a minimum of 2 complimentary spots.

If we can find a classroom and about 15 students, we can make it happen.

Zach,
we are happy to provide armorers training for Military Contractors, especially those who are tasked with armoring weapons or are running a gun. I see that you are PA based, we have a course coming up in your area in January of which is OPEN ENROLLMENT. The restricted courses as compared to the open enrollment courses are the same, it just comes down to the hosting location sometimes is in places where OPSEC may be of concern so we have to take into account the hosts wishes.

I saw that you had a course in PA, the reason I was looking at this course is because you're offering both the basic Armorers course and the advanced course in one location.

We are working on scheduling an OPEN ENROLLMENT of both courses back to back in a couple of locations. We will post info on those as soon as the date and locations are locked in.
