We supply all the basic tools, manuals, and anything else that is necessary. We will also provide lots of nice to have gunsmith tools that make life easier. We will provide rifles with prior arrangements, basically so we know how many to bring. We prefer that students bring their own rifles so they get fimilar 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 2-day course will receive Manufacturer's Certification, and will also have an opportunity to purchase a rifle at a special Armorer's rate.    

Also make sure everyone signs up for the SWAT Magazine January 2006 Sweepstakes, as it is one beautiful SLR15 rifle that is being given away.

SgtSauer,
    I/M is inbound.  Accomodations can be on-site as they have a lodge for traveling students to stay at, or you can stay in the Springfield area.  I always find the Springfield area dangerous to my wallet, it has something to do with the BassPro store.  On the factory armorers kit, I would suggest holding out until after the course.  You will find that most armoring kits are good, but sometimes they include things you do not need or are outdated.  You will also find out that there are things you might want to have that make life easier that are not in the factory armoring kits.  We supply all the tools necessary to completely disassemble, reassemble, customize, trouble shoot and inspect the entire weapon system.  We also provide lots of the neat & cool tools that make life easier.  We also will show you the tools that are outdated and not necessary.
