Introduction to the AR-15 Platform

The AR-15 platform rifle is the most popular center fire rifle on the market today. It is based on the US military M-16 and M4 Carbine platform, but is semi-auto only. People who shoot AR-15 rifles do it for a variety of reasons, fun target shooting, precision target shooting, competition, and hunting. It is a modular constructed rifle allowing owners to change components to fit their needs. One can even build a custom AR-15 by buying all the components and assembling the rifle themselves. The AR-15 is a rifle that becomes a hobby in its self. Owners accessorize their guns with all sorts of goodies. There is nothing better than shooting a rifle that you personalize.

Our class is called INTRODUCTION TO THE AR-15, and is designed for beginners [first-time buyers]. This Three hour session will introduce shooters to the basics of the AR-15 platform.

In this class you will learn:

  • Safe handling of the AR-15 rifle
  • Demonstration of disassembly, field strip basics
  • Cleaning and maintenance
  • Live fire of 20 rounds of ammunition
  • Easy upgrades to improve the handling and performance.

Class includes a cleaning kit and cleaning mat.

Bring your AR-15 but leave the ammunition in your car until told to get it.

Class is from 5 PM to 8 PM

I wanted to especially thank Collin. He fixed my .22 S&W after a friend twisted the silencer too tight and dislodged the pin holding the barrel in place. He tested it on the range to ensure it was functional, and it was. Thank you again, Collin.

Very knowledgeable and engaging. Kept the class laid back when it needed to be, and serious when it was called for.

This place is just great and is by far my favorite gun store here in Michigan! All of the staff are super friendly and are always willing to answer any questions that you have. I recently made my second firearm purchase from Uncoiled and I have to give a special shout-out to Nick and Shane, they are both great guys that helped me through the process yet again! Absolutely LOVE my new FN Scar 16 and the FN 502 that came with it, they are both extremely fun to shoot!!

Would give 10 stars if i could! My husband (gun experience) and i (minimal gun experience) took the CPL class with Len and it surpassed our expectations. It was entertaining, fun, and exceptionally inviting. No tests, no public speaking/answers, and lots of jokes. He is incredibly knowledgeable and so quick to answer questions. Bonus is they also made accommodations to get me out of the range quicker due to my early pregnancy. Everyone in the shop was so kind and helpful as well. Cannot recommend enough!

Superior customer service all around. Very nice selection of products and services. Clean range. Len Woods provides a thoroughly informative experience, clearly demonstrating his dedication to safety. He was patient with all questions, even when repeated, and allowed for a fun, casual classroom environment while maintaining the serious nature of the class itself. Angie is the BEST range safety officer I've ever encountered, very patient and detailed with instructions, and made us feel welcome upon entering the classroom.

Being Canadian 🇨🇦, I took a short vacation into Michigan with my wife and kids as we are big fans of "Hardcore Pawn"!💯Our vacation was to pay a visit to American Jewelry & Loan; however, I obviously planned other "things to do in Michigan" as well! 🤭🤣Planned a stay at the Hampton Inn in Lovinia, MI and luckily enough Uncoiled Firearms Gun Range was conveniently down the street! 👍👌👏😁As our gun laws are far different from the USA 🇺🇸 I thought it would be a fun experience for my son & I to experience; moreover, the safety and handling of a firearm.We were introduced to an AR-15 rifle as well as a Staccato XC handgun. Derek was the staff member who was there to explain everything to us, from start to finish, especially being safety conscious throughout.My wife Stephanie wasn't interested at first, but was able to convince her to at least "try" 😂🤣My son Benedict Jr., who just turned a few weeks earlier, was excited to take part as I was.For a first time experience, it was very informative; moreover, extremely fun! Even Stephanie who was hesitant at first truly enjoyed the experience especially with the Staccato XC!Thank you very much to the staff members who assisted us as I never got their names but there were two gentlemen who helped us select the weapons to start with!Special thanks to Derek who guided us from loading the firearms to firing them, all in a safe manner! You are awesome and my wife truly appreciated your help!Hope to visit again soon🙏
