just FYI Colt is running an M4/M16/635 SMG armorer's course in Austin hosted by Univ. of Texas PD in February.  not to poop on anyone's thread.....just a heads up for anyone who wanted to specifically take a Colt Armorer School.  i think the training Sgt. told me it was L.E. only, but im not L.E. and i got on the list....so who knows......but im a C3 FFL and i had the blessing of the Colt Instructor teaching the class.

I don't even own ar A15 but I'd like to go. Too bad I don't have 250$ to spare.

I wonder if he'll do one for AKs.....

Sent my registration in, very interested in the class.  For my victim I have an old EA lower that needs some work, the buffer dedent pin is a bit bent and doesn't stay in it's hole (so of course I had to locktite it in instead of fixing the problem).  And then an upper with mistorqued barrel.

sorry you think im pooping on his thread.  i was merely giving people information in regards to other courses in Texas that they may want to take instead.

a class should stand on its own merits.  the Colt class costs more money and is primarily only open to LE.  that being said, a Colt certification will probably look better in someone's file than one from another brand, or training group.

notice the host of the class didn't say his class was better or worse.  if his class is better than Colt's, and his name carries such a reputation, then he has nothing to worry about, since his class would be a better bargain, wouldn't it?

So any one can sign up and go?  Don't need to be an armor or gun smith?

CORRECT!

You will learn everything you need to know about the M16/AR15.

Sign up soon.  It is filling up pretty quick.

Have a great weekend....

Guys....

This weekend is the class.  Do not forget about the range fee of $15 per day.  

I received confirmation from Sully, looks like we have 20 people signed up and ready to go.

We still have room for another 5 or so people.  If you or anyone you know is interested, you still have time to give Sully a call and register.  

If you are not sure until later in the week, feel free to call me at 817 455 6135 to let me know.  You will have to pay in full at the class.

Hopefully we have a better weekend than this past one.  

Have any of you given thought on where we are going for DINNER Saturday evening?

Be safe

Sounds great to me.  We will be there.  I posted to add four to the head count.


Plus ----- if you are Jason Marshburn, or you know who he is.... I need him to call me asap at 817 455 6135.  It is regarding the Armorer's course.

This might sound stupid but what is the $15 a day range fee for ?  Will we be "checking our work" (test firing) or possibly some range time setting our zero's?   After last weekend I just hope that the Backwoods Range has a nice class room with heat !

Thanks - clueless (A,K,A, Northbilly)

The range charges a $15 per person/per day usage fee for the classroom.

They normally charge $25 per person/per day usage fee for the range and classroom.

Just got home. All I can say is WOW! JUST WOW!!

In information overload at the moment so I'll post a more detail critique after I email it to Sullie. First off, I'll never look at the AR15 weapon system again the same. Today, we started off with a quick repeat of tear down and rebuild the lower internal parts. Then the front and rear sights. The A2 rear sight can be almost a big a BEOTACH as the woman that runs that place. Then the front sight base was loosened, and then the fun of taking the barrel off. Wrapped up with a quick run down of ballistics, ammo, tools that you may want, and closing(certificates && caps). This was delayed somewhat by the shouting match the BEOTACH got into with a customer.

A significant % stayed afterwards to help Sully && Paul pack up and clean/rearrange the tables so that the BEOTACH couldn't say anything to them on the way out.

Executive summary: Sully is first rate guy/instructor. This class is HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended for any ARFCommer that has one or more EBR's.

wganz


BTW. Did I mention that the woman that was running the range was a class A #1 BEOTACH that needed an industrial sized Motrin enema?
