I remebwr Chris Frye of MDTS some years ago saying he didn't offer a carbine class anymore because of the legalities. He couldn't teach the platform the way it was meant to be used, and with so many different configurations to be "legal" in NY it was difficult. Also didnt want to be that guy who got someone in trouble because they brought out a rifle or magazines that weren't NY friendly.

Too bad. They do courses from Massachusetts, to Pennsylvania, and down to Virginia.

@OnSight Firearms Training works out of Erie and Pittsburgh a lot. I highly recommend waiting on a class from them, Top notch!

Chris Fry doesn't operate in NY anymore. I believe he's in Vegas with one of the bigger training outfits

I contacted Hammer Down that I linked in #5. They do a basic NRA rifle course but if I want more advanced training with AR I need to do private lessons. 60 an hour

Is the a sportsmans club, gun club, or shooting range you could go to, and maybe talk with club officers about what you're looking for. A club might have members willing and able to guide an AR newb. Just a thought...

I was thinking about that. Take a walk looking for AR shooters to hang with.
club officers are all shotgun clay shooters so they are no help

I did find 2 but haven’t signed up for anything yet.
Bull Creek - but their dates and my schedule aren’t working.
Hammer Down - but no one seems to know anything about them. It’s private lesson only and I just haven’t had time to schedule anything with them yet. Being that it’s private lesson their scheduling works much better with my schedules.

I finally did a AR private instruction. I went with Bull Creek in Lockport 2 hr class with Frank. He started with the basics to understand how things work. Zeroing and why, off axis shooting from 5-30yds, grip, stance, reloads and DOPE drill.
Great 2+ hours
except my rifle didn’t make the cut.
Trigger failed giving 2 shot burst, over gassed. All casings were splitting.
Had to finish the class with one of their sweet rigs
I will be going back for more
