Would you guys have any interest in a fighting handgun class?
8-9 hour class, 500 rounds, cost is approximately $150. Area is SW MI and Northern IN If there is any interest, I can put you in contact with the instructor. |

We need more of these classes. If you send me the info I'll pass it around my AO. I'm having the head instructor/owner send me a pdf, then I'll send it to you. Sidenote- Are you certified on 11-87, and just how much armoring can an armorer do? I've got one that has a bent action tube, and the threads are jacked up on the action tube that needs to be repaired. |

I've got one that has a bent action tube, and the threads are jacked up on the action tube that needs to be repaired. I'm only certified on the 870 but I own an 11-87 so i had the instructor run me through the 11-87 during the last 870 class I attended (a few months ago. Whether what you're describing could be done by an armorer depends on how badly the threads are jacked up. It is possibly an armorer level repair, but if it will require retapping the receiver or something that in depth I'd have a true gunsmith do it. |
But if it works out i would be up for another if it comes around.
