The AR-15 has become the most popular defensive carbine in America. The system's modularity allows it to be customized to meet the unique needs of its owner. The vast number of options and accessories available for the weapon make gear selection difficult for those new to the platform. Even those familiar with the AR-15 have a hard time keeping up with the constant stream of new products, tactics, and training available. This course is designed for everyone: those shopping for their first AR-15 trying to make sense of all the acronyms and specifications, the novice looking for tips on maintenance and lubrication, and the old pro looking for the latest information on gear development and tactics advice.
This course covers:
