SLR15 Grail in the SPEER GOLD DOT RIFLE AMMO AD




 

SLR15 Rifles is featured in the current issue of Guns & Ammo Magazine Tactical Guns & Gear Annual, Shooting Times (January 2008), and December 2008 SWAT Magazine on our receivers, October 2007 SWAT Magazine article on our Grail Rifle , and the March 2006 SWAT Magazine Cover Story. Our Armoring Course has taught for a decade all over the country. The armoring course with our shooting course was reviewed in SWAT Magazine September 2004 Article. This course is currently mentioned in the August 2006 issue of SWAT Magazine, and you will see another great picture of one of our rifles in the December 2006 (pg.74) issue as well.

Here is a brief overview of what is covered and I can tell you it is a very busy hands on full 2-days of AR15/M16 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 and Polishing
Accessories and Customizing
Tool Options and Selection
Iron Sights (A1/A2/A3) Disassembly/Reassembly
Optics
SOP/MOD Accessories and Additions
Etc


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 coordianted, all we need is a suitable classroom for a course and we will be there, the host gets a minimum of 2 complimentary spots.

I took this course a couple years ago, and I will vouch that it was a great class. I will put my knowledge up against the guys in our dept who have been to Colt school any day of the week.

How much prior experience/knowledge is necessary?  I know a few folks who would likely be interested, but only know how to field strip their ARs

They should be fine. Sully goes through everything, and is very thorough. I had built one gun before hand (but really didn't know what I was doing). They will leave that class with a wealth of knowledge.

Yep they will be just fine. One of the better things they will learn is how to "properly" take apart and put together their firearm.

The time I took this class it was a lot of info in a short amount of time but we always seemed to have enough time to make sure things were done right and for questions if there were any.

One of the things I enjoyed and still use to this day is the armorers handbook that Sully hands out. Most of the stuff covered in the class is in there. Sully taught us a few little things that are not in the book and there are some little things in the book not covered in the class.
