During my 22 years of instruction at Lassen College in Susanville, California, I have taught various armorer courses to hundreds of law enforcement personnel. Officers from as far away as Australia and Scotland have traveled to Susanville to attend classes.

The courses I teach vary greatly and include instruction on basic gunsmithing, single and double action auto pistols, all types counter-sniper rifles, all types double action revolvers, full autos, and assembly of gas operated guns.

I have taught California Department of Corrections staff, Arizona Department of Corrections staff, as well as armorers employed by the Federal Correctional System.

We built and now maintain the Armorers Training website. And we are proud to have Armorers Training  as a Sponsor of our website Network
