I wanted to see if there is any interest in having an Armorer Course in Alaska. We are working on scheduling a Law Enforcement course, and I wanted to see if there is enough interest to have an "Open Enrollment" course as well. If there is enough interest, and we can find a location that would work, then we can make this happen.
So Please let us know if you are interested in possibly attending a course. SLR15 AR15 / M16 / M4 / AR308 Armorer Course SLR15 Grail in the SPEER GOLD DOT RIFLE AMMO AD    SLR15 Rifles has been featured in SWAT Magazine, Guns & Ammo Magazine Tactical Guns & Gear Annual, Shooting Times, Gun Digest, Guns & Weapons For Law Enforcement Magazine, and Precision Rifle Magazine. Our Armoring Course has been taught for a decade all over the country, and was reviewed in SWAT Magazine. This course covers all variants of the AR-15/M16/M-4/AR308 weapons system with 2-days of hands on training which goes far beyond basic disassembly & reassembly. 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 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 Profiles Gas Impingement & Piston Systems Parts Interchangeability, including Brands Headspace Firing Pin Protrusion Trigger Systems Chamber Inspection and Issues Troubleshooting, diagnosis & repair Gauging, Inspections, Stress & Interval Issues Accessories and Customizing Tool Options and Selection Iron Sights SOP/MOD Accessories and Additions Etc Other Armorer Courses we offer: M14/M1 Rifle Armorer Precision/Sniper Rifle Armorer Law Enforcement Shotgun Armorer 1911 Pistol Armorer AR-15 / M-16 / M-4 / AR308 Advanced Armorer CY6 Greg Sullivan "Sully" SLR15 Rifles TheDefensiveEdge.com (763) 712-0123 |

I'm in.
I took one from Will at Semper Paratus about 10 years ago. Like to see another course of instruction. Be aware that Aug 10 is caribou opening, and anything then (and until the second weekend after that) is hard to fill. |

I'm interested depending if I'm off on the day. I am LE but did not apply for this round of armorers course but wouldn't mind paying out of pocket for the training and cert. Assuming the class and cert is the same as the LE course.
Edit: subbed and I guess I should specify I am in Anchorage. |

We are happy to do an Open Enrollment course in addition to the Law Enforcement course that we are doing in Palmer AK. There is no difference in course curriculum or content. What we need to figure out is how much interest there is, and then work on finding a location to have an Open Enrollment course.

Be aware that Aug 10 is caribou opening, and anything then (and until the second weekend after that) is hard to fill. Me too. To be honest, I was a little disappointed in that course. There was not much in it that you could not find in the tech forums here, if you could discern the good from the bad info. I was into barrel making and machine work back then and was looking for something else than what he taught. I found it irritating he seemed ignorant of the AR scene as it existed before 2000 or so - what was deemed legal and what was not, and what crap parts really were. It was not just YFS screws on a bolt key. |

The dates of July 31 - Aug 1 (Sat-Sun) are what we have available for a weekend. We have a Law Enforcement course on July 29-30 in Palmer AK, so we are trying to schedule an Open Enrollment course in conjunction as well in the Anchorage or Palmer area.
Can someone help suggest or coordinate a location? CY6 Greg Sullivan "Sully" SLR15 Rifles TheDefensiveEdge.com (763) 712-0123 |

Will did his class at Birchwood Shooting Park in the Shotgun clubhouse. I thought the venue was OK.
Only downside to Birchwood is lunch; you have to bring lunch as there are no restaurants nearby for a quick lunch. There are restaurants, but you have to drive, sit, order, wait, eat, drive back. So either bring your own lunch (what that class did), or get food delivered, or pre-order with a nearby restaurant and have food tabled and ready at X time for the class to arrive. If you just need a classroom and sturdy tables, there are probably places in Anchorage that would be ok with a gun class. Probably not the national hotels, but maybe local, or Viking Hall, a Lions Clubhouse, or even partner with Steve at Alaska Tactical, or James at Valley Armory, or Sterling at Arctic Ammo. ETA: Mat Valley Sportsmans indoor range in Palmer. They have a lobby/room with a bunch of tables. My CHP class had two days there. Duh! ETA: Those dates work. I'm in. |

Three Bears is good for a quick lunch break. For OP, it's just outside of the range (like a mini "country" Costco w/ a deli). It's not a place for everyone to sit and eat together but a place to get food, drink, or snacks if needed. Worked well for me getting a quick lunch during range days, so I think it will be fine for this venue. ETA: Not that I'm saying Birchwood is the best venue (I have a membership but never taken a class there), but rather I think lunch is ok. I'm down for wherever. I also have those dates off and am still in. |

Thanks to all who pointed us towards the Mat Valley Sportsman's Range, they are willing to rent us the classroom for the weekend of July 31 - Aug 1 (Sat-Sun). It is a small classroom, so space will be limited to what sounds like 10 people.
We need to make sure there is enough interest to cover our expenses. So if you are interested, please let us know, so we can make sure we have enough people to make this happen before locking in the classroom, flights, hotel, transportation, etc. Once we know there is enough interest, we will lock things in, and then put out a formal online registration. Thanks you to all in advance!!! CY6 Greg Sullivan "Sully" SLR15 Rifles TheDefensiveEdge.com (763) 712-0123 |
