Bump to the top

I know the instructor personally and also mtdawg.  Both great guys.  The instructor knows the AR inside out.  You will know how to assemble (or as some people like to call it - build an AR), diagnose problems, make minor repair, troubleshoot your AR.  A lot of people could benefit from this class.

Back up top. Class registration closes on 4/1/16
