AR-15 Build Class

In the AR-15 build class we will go step by step through the process of learning to build your own AR-15. We will also be covering basic troubleshooting, maintenance of the AR-15, and answering any other questions about the AR-15/10 platform.

AR-15 Options to Prepare for Class:

Everything will be provided, including the AR-15's, but you are more than welcome to do one of the
following options as well.

- Purchase Rifle/Pistol: You can purchase one from us up to a week prior to the class. (You will be
required you to fill out a 4473, and pass a background check). After purchase and the approved
background check, the gunsmith will keep and disassemble the rifle in preparation for the class.
The firearm will be returned to owner on the day of the class.

- Purchase parts: You can purchase all of the parts yourself and bring them. If you are unsure of
all the parts you need, please feel free to reference the RGC Gunsmith’s AR-15 Build Parts List.
(This class will be limited to AR-15’s in 5.56 or 300 Black Out, in either a pistol or rifle
configuration.)

Things you will need: Unless you bring all of your own parts for the class, you will not need to
bring anything, as we will provide tools to use (which will be available for purchase as well).
