The history of the AR is one thing I was very interested in. Surprising to find it almost wasn't meant to be. Colt got a hellava deal when they bought the rights to it. I had very minimal experience with an AR and taking it apart and seeing how everything ties together is amazing really.
a lot of it was stuff I knew, but it's good to take a step back and go over basics again, plus i did pick up things i didn't know, like the AR operates on gas volume, not pressure. but for a new AR shooter, it's chock full of good information, stuff you really need to know.
Very nice to see a women taking the class. Bob is she the first? The posters look really good also.
