Why is it that all of the armorer classes seem to require you to be current LE or military to attend the class? I would like to get certificates from the bug manufactures to go with my gunsmithing.
Ive been to Glock Armorers and Glock Advanced Armorers Course.. watch a youtube video on it and just know that about 90% of parts on one glock fit the others as well.. there ya go.
1) It's easy enough to sign up for GSSF. For Glocks, tho? Just watch the AGI video and call it a day. OEM parts rarely break and don't require fitting. The aftermarket already has every "upgrade" imaginable covered with drop in parts. There's no advanced gunsmithing needed for a Glock.
2) HK can go suck goat testicles.
3) I share your frustration on the "LE only" stuff. The "civilian" market is a lot larger than the LE market. Doesn't make sense to me from a business viewpoint, and pisses me off from a 2A perspective. Ah well, if they don't want my money so be it. See #2
