AR15/M16/M4/AR308 Armorer 2 Day Course

Course Overview

This comprehensive 16-hour program offers industry-standard five-year armorer certification for law enforcement professionals. Agencies increasingly equip patrol officers, supervisors, and tactical units with carbine rifles, creating a critical need for qualified armorers and range masters to perform regular maintenance and repairs.

Sullivan has been featured as a cover story in SWAT Magazine and has contributed articles to Guns & Ammo Magazine, SWAT Magazine, Gun & Weapons for Law Enforcement Magazine, Shooting Times Magazine, and Precision Rifle Magazine.
