Basic Carbine Rifle Setup

Class Overview

Thinking about buying or building an AR-style carbine but feeling overwhelmed by all the choices? Basic Carbine Rifle Setup is the perfect starting point. With no universal “standard” setup, selecting the right rifle, optic, light, sling, and grip can quickly become a guessing game—and an expensive one at that.

This class cuts through the confusion. We’ve dialed in several proven configurations that balance performance with personal preference You’ll get hands-on experience with a variety of gear so you can make smart decisions before spending a dime.

Whether you already own a carbine or are just beginning your journey, this course will give you the confidence to build a rifle that actually works for you.

Subjects

  • Rifle specs and parts selection
  • Slings
  • Optics, including how to zero your optics
  • Weapon Lights
  • Magazines
  • CA Compliance

Equipment

  • Your personal rifle (optional)*
  • Any rifle accessories you’ve already purchased (optional)*
  • Notepad and pen
  • Eye and ear protection (ITTS staff will discuss and demo proper zeroing of a rifle, which is why eye and ear pro is necessary)
  • Water and lunch

*This class is intended to provide guidance on choosing and installing the right carbine rifle and accessories.  However, ITTS staff will not be installing equipment for students on their own rifles.  Student’s may bring any of their own gear to inquire with ITTS staff about their specific setup and if there is time we can assist at our discretion.
