A big thanks to Joe and the crowd for putting on a very informative and practical class. This was my first official carbine class, and i was very impressed. I had to leave at 8pm and they were still going at it with the night portion. Wifey had been patient all day and i only had about 20 rounds of ammo left. It was great to meet all the guys that attended, as well as seeing others again. I will definitely be attending other classes.

I learned a lot and will be spending some time figuring what works for me.
Fighting with a Carbine is a lot different than shooting a rifle.
I was out of the Corps for 8+ years but easily able to shot expert on the KD course again despite the lay off.
The Basic Carbine class was much tougher than the field/tables 2 and 3 course of fire the Marine Corps put me through
Several times my brain housing group locked up during a drill
My 7.5 lb mid length owned my ass on a lot the drills

Do you have the buffer tube itself ?  Ive got a mil spec stock that I took off my Stag and put a MagPul MOE on.  If you want it Ill leave it with the hippie kicker at 400 and you can have it.

Still sore! Shoulders, thighs, etc. That was a great class. Thanks Joe, Steve, and the gang.

Hey guys!  It was good meeting you all (even the peanut gallery ).  Great class and loads of fun.
I think the rain and mud made it even better.

Remember those exercises I told you about (the pouring the water pitcher with 5 or 10lbs weights).  Your shoulder muscles will thank you next carbine class you take.
