AR15/M16 Operator's Diagnostic Course with Dean Caputo
January 27-28, 2007
Gander Mountain in Novi
$250

Dean is a Colt certified Armorer and travels the country teaching the Colt factory class. He developed this class for LE/Military units that didn't need the full factory Armorers Course. Instead of the full 3 day class, he pared it down to a 2 day format so that it can be completed on a weekend. He doesn't cover some of the minutae of every little detail of the guns (we won't spend an hour covering dissassembly on an A2 rear sight) but instead focuses on the issues and repairs that most commonly pop up with the guns. Basically, he covers in 2 days what he feels are the most important parts of an "Armorers" Course.

Pat Rogers wrote a great overview of the class in the November 2006 issue of SWAT magazine- check it out if you have a copy available.

I have 2 slots left to fill, so if you are interested please contact me ASAP.

OK, but is his stuff just more of the same stuff as what your teaching? I've paid in full for Rodger's class and I'm sure your going to be having a few go arounds with you so I need to make sure I'm spending my $ wisely. OH, and I'm also going down to TDI for their Carbine class this year as well. Lots fo fun planned for '07!

Well, the class is over and I must say that the course was some of the best $250 that I ever spent on training! Very dynamic, informative and entertaining (Dean's video clips are priceless!). I'm now reevaluating my entire rigs and set ups (I keep telling myself that it's just money!).:fa:

Told yah so.............

Yes you did! Unfortunately it came with the price of not being at your class or Blue Water's polar 3 gun match! Ah the choices! I think I made the best one.
