Will is good people.
A wealth of technical information on modern weapons systems and manufacturers.
This course should be a great learning experience for all that attend.

I attended Sully's 2-day course last year in late October.  I highly recommend a course like this for anyone interested in the M16/M4/AR15 platform.  The $400 is well worth it.  The hardest part will be keeping your sorry asses out of MI's store front in the off-time.

As we prepare to start hosting courses we are bringing in more and more things needed for a build.
To quote the last guy who stopped in. "Holy S#*t that's a lot of small parts!"
We are now going to carry most of the small parts needed to complete a build and we are going to carry them individually.

We have also began bringing in some more tools.
We really are stepping up the amount of stuff to help make MI the best fun shop we can.

Hope to see you guys soon.

Thanks,

Any chance on naming a source for your small parts?

I tend to gravitate towards the Daniel Defense, G&R, Colt side of the spectrum.

Our small spare parts are all 100 percent U.S made mil spec components. No cheap or imported parts . They are more than likely made in the same plant as the others you mention.
