TSJC Summer NRA Short Course Series

June 11 - June 15

National Match AR-15'S

This class will cover the techniques and methods used to build and maintain match winning AR’s. While the emphasis will be on rifles for “Across the Course” shooting, most of the methods apply equally to other types of competition. Topics covered will be sights, triggers, barrel installation, and barrel chambering and fitting.

Lower receiver holding block, goes in magazine well.
Either a rifle to upgrade, or components to build one. Should have a set of match sights, good barrel, match trigger and float tube. Barrel needs to be 1-8 twist or faster.
Other stuff that I'll bring but students can bring as well if available would be 8x36 tap, #29 drill, loctite #242 and #262. Trigger pull gage. Gas tube pliers.
If we will be going to the range, they should bring some decent ammo, muffs, glasses, and other shooting equipment. If we can get to the HP range, then shooting coat and other gear would be in order.
Students should feel free to give me a call if they have any questions on the equipment needed. They also should not worry if they do not have everything on the list.

I have a good supply of parts and will give any students a discount on whatever parts they may need. If any would like a barrel I will need advance notice. Several weeks at least, couple months would be better.
