This is a General Interest posting to gauge if there may be enough interest to host a local (Linwood, PA) Armorer's course for AR style firearms.
Here's a brief course outline from ArmaLite:
This two-day course focuses on operation and maintenance of M-15 and AR-10 ArmaLite firearms. (The course is applicable to all AR-style firearms regardless of manufacturer.) Particular attention will be paid to the firearm's cycle of operation as well as all maintenance echelons of disassembly, reassembly and troubleshooting.This two-day course focuses on operation and maintenance of M-15 and AR-10 ArmaLite firearms. (The course is applicable to all AR-style firearms regardless of manufacturer.) Particular attention will be paid to the firearm's cycle of operation as well as all maintenance echelons of disassembly, reassembly and troubleshooting.
The course format is a combination of lecture, discussion, and hands-on work with AR-style firearms. A written examination will be conducted at the end of the course. Successful graduates will be certified as ArmaLite qualified armorers.
Course cost (paid to ArmaLite) would be in the $300 range, perhaps a bit more to cover the cost of the facility, although I will keep that facility fee as low as possible.
The course would be open to as many as 25 people, and If there were significant interest, I could hold a second set of courses at a later date.
If there is interest, please replay here with "I'm Interested" and I will PM you as the status progresses. I would likely be looking at an October timeframe, perhaps even early November, to start on a Saturday and finishing on Sunday.
