Overview

The program content focuses on the mechanical functioning, disassembly/reassembly, maintenance, troubleshooting, and field repair of the Mossberg 500/590 Shotgun. This is a hands-on program that teaches and guides each participant through all armorer operations step by step with the instructor. Active participation coupled with question-and-answer periods provide a supportive learning environment for maximum retention of the material. The course is also well suited for law enforcement armorers to design their agency's own maintenance and inspection program. Maintaining current practices and procedures for factory authorized service is essential for all firearms. A three (3) year factory certification is issued upon successful course completion.
