AR15 M16 Armorer
Outline and Course Objectives
SLR15 Rifles was recently featured as the March 2006 SWAT Magazine Cover Story. Our Armoring Course has been 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.

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.
All that successfully complete this course will receive Armorer's Certification, and will also have an opportunity to purchase a SLR15 rifle at a special Armorer's rate.
If anyone would like to host one please contact us to make arrangements, all we need is a suitable classroom for a course. The host gets a minimum of 2 complimentary spots.
