Armorer Training Courses- I have been getting asked a lot on this, and post-Covid, I'm ready to schedule. Here's what's coming up, and I'm teaching all of these scheduled classes, sometimes with guest experts. Basic FW is AK47/AKM/AK74/RPK, RPD, PKM, SVD, RPG-7, DShK plus what attendees need to add here are there. I have 92 weapons I can certify on so if you need Africom or Iraq or SEA, I can sculpt the course. I'll do the Stoner Chronicles at some point!
