Jeff, I think your link to Pat's Class is incorrect.

[Failure2Stop]

This is a great class, and unlike most "armorers" courses, Dean doesn't shove a particular manufacturer down anybody's throat, he simply highlights issues.

You could walk into the class on day 1 with a basic understanding of the weapon and leave at the end with the ability to keep a gun running for the rest of your life, figure out why a particular gun isn't working, and fix any issues that can be dealt with without any specialized tools.

It is well worth a weekend, and you can get a Ned Christiansen 5.56 reamer job on your carbine (just to be sure ) as an added bonus.

The actual content of the course may vary slightly due to range restrictions and also to better accommodate the skill sets of the shooters

What to Expect

A three day class on how to fight with the carbine. This is not shooting polka dots, but is a condensed version of what we are using today. The class is moderately physical.
Attendees must be active police officers; Active Duty Military; or possess a valid pistol license from any state. A Certificate of Good Conduct (no criminal record) or equivalent from your local Law Enforcement Agency will suffice.
Live fire exercises are inherently dangerous. Safety violations will be dealt with harshly. We cannot afford to have an unsafe shooter in a class.

I reserve the right to refuse admission to the class for any reason. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the class for any reason.

What to Bring
A good attitude!

• A serviceable 5.56mm Carbine.
What you bring is not as important as the fact that it works. Having a spare extractor/ spring is not a bad idea. Bring the lube of your choice. But bring lube.

• 1300 Rounds of serviceable carbine ammunition; 250 rounds pistol ammunition.

• The amount of ammunition recommended is an average. The actual number of rounds fired may be more or less depending on overall skill level of the class, weather and range issues.

• A minimum of 3 serviceable magazines for the carbine. More are obviously better- the less jamming of magazines you do during the day, the more time you learn how to fight.

• The carbine needs a sling. A tac sling works better, but any sling will do.

• A means to carry at least two carbine magazines on your person.

• If you have a red dot sight, bring spare batteries.

• A serviceable pistol, with three serviceable magazines.

• A holster and magazine pouch.

• Eye and earpro, as well as a baseball type hat.
• Water. A CamelBak is ideal, but be prepared to hydrate.

• Bring food. Bring munchies as well as lickies and chewies. If you are not physically at your best, you will not be able to function safely and efficiently.

• Knee and elbow pads.

• Pen/ pencil.

BTT....

Jeff, I was going to email you, but I figured I'd post this question here so to help anyone else who may be wondering the same thing.

What all will I need to bring to this course?
Rifle I am assuming, but are there any special tools/accessories we may need.

Thanks

It is well worth a weekend, and you can get a Ned Christiansen 5.56 reamer job on your carbine (just to be sure ) as an added bonus.

And your carrier key staked as well, if required.
