From Parts to Purpose: Why Building Matters

Understanding how your weapon works isn’t just about convenience—it’s about confidence, competence, and preparedness. Our build classes don’t just teach you how to put parts together; they equip you with the knowledge to troubleshoot malfunctions, maintain reliability, and make informed decisions about what tools you need for specific missions—whether it’s home defense, ranch protection, tactical readiness, or wilderness survival. By learning the internal mechanics and the purpose behind each component, you gain the skills to build your own armory over time and ensure every firearm you own fits a clear role in your overall preparedness strategy. At CVA, we’re not just handing you a weapon—we’re helping you become a responsible, skilled, and vigilant Christian defender.
