AR-15 INSPECTION & DIAGNOSTICS

You can't see headspace. You can't eyeball gas port alignment. And you definitely can't guess if your barrel threads are concentric.


That's why we use certified gauges and professional techniques to inspect every critical component of your AR-15.

 

Every inspection includes a detailed diagnostic report, giving you clear insight into your rifle’s condition—whether for duty use, resale, or confidence in the field.
