AR-15 Kit Builder’s Course 

The Valiant AR-15 Kit Builder’s Course was developed based on popular demand from clients and students.

It is taught by Gio Gentilini who is a master gunsmith on the AR-15 system. He brings over 15 years of experience in a production environment to the classroom and gives you access to his knowledge during class.

 

AR-15 Kit Builder’s Course

This course was specifically designed with the DIY home builder in mind. It is a lighter version of the more advanced two-day AR-15 Armorer’s Course. It’s a one-day course that covers all aspects of assembling a kit ordered from one of the many popular manufactures found online. The upper receiver already comes assembled in most kits. This course focuses on completing the lower receiver and putting the major components together to complete a kit. This is not a course where you can bring your own kit to class and assemble it. All learning materials, tools, and rifle kit are provided to work with during the course.

Gio will take you step-by-step through a kit build and show you his method for assembly. He brings a rich teaching experience to the classroom being a general and production gunsmith. His knowledge and experience are at your fingertips during class. You will walk away with a full understanding of how to assemble the lower receiver and the part relationships between the upper and lower. He will also show you all of the checks you need to perform on a completed rifle to ensure that it is safe to operate.
