Engage Carbine Dec. 13 and 16, 2012

Two spots left!

We will be posting or January schedule sometime in the middle of December.

What time does the class take place and where on the 13th? I know the live fire portion is at the range in Thurmont.

Is the classroom part, on Thursday, done at 9 am also or in the evening? I have to work, but if it is late enough I could attend.

If it's anything like the last class, the 13th will be right after the shop closes (7PMish).

SBRs allowed? Would a UCIW be too short, with having an 8" barrel? My MK18 clone is not cycling properly at the moment. I do have a non-SBR I can use.

What are the credentials of the instructor/s?

AJ, PM sent.

Course paid for today. Looking forward to attending.

Hey, could you recommend some sort of carrier for our magazines to use during the class?

I am huge fan of the HSGI Taco Mag pouches and they are the only ones I use exclusively on all my kit. They are pretty much the one stop shop when comes to mag pouches. I run both an AR15 and SCAR-H and they fit both mags perfectly and retain them as well as draw easy.

spammer trying to sell cell phone jammers.

Guys, I'm really sorry, but I'm not going to be able to make it . Scheduling conflict came up. I'll be watching for more classes come spring. Thanks for holding a spot anyway.

I take it by now its full?

Negative there are many people who have not paid and its a first come first serve basis.

AJ, what time are we meeting at the Shop tomorrow?
