I'm a certified carbine armorer. Yippee!
Went down to North Carolina again for more training. I had no idea there were so many freakin' internal parts in an AR. Haha!
I almost failed the course when a very tiny crucial spring went FLYING across the room during tear down. Lol! The instructor had the whole class crawling on the floor helping me to find the missing spring. Lmao! :-P
Here's a pic of my certificate:

Re: I'm a certified carbine armorer. Yippee!
you are the man, and I'vve had the same experience with the m1 garand bolt while I was tearing it town.
I was so pissed.
What do these certifications set you back, and also what windows do they open?
