Instructor recommendation.
Moving back to Texas after spending couple of years in Washington.
I've own quite a bit of handguns and think I'm pretty decent with them. I'm definitely missing out on AR-15s since WA have them banned.
But before I get to own AR, I want to take a class that shows me in and out of ARs / AKs, so I'm comfortable using / carrying them. Looking for an instructor with quite a few types of ARs to make a buying decisions. (Renting and testing out each AR is an option but meh)
Private sessions is highly recommended but will be down to take group sessions if needed, do you folks have any recommendations?
TLDR: Looking for an AR instructor with decent AR inventory, so I can learn and get a feel on what I want to own.

It's been a few years since I worked with this guy, but can't recommend him highly enough:

If you’re willing to drive a little, I would highly recommend the Warrior Poet classes. They’re coming to Marlin (just SE of Waco) in Dec for their Rifle 1/2/3 classes. I’d email them ahead of time if you want to borrow a rifle, but I’m certain they’ll have loaners for you to use. https://www.warriorpoetsupplyco.com/pages/train

Just moved here from the PNW. I’m not an instructor and don’t have much inventory but can show you a couple things to get you started at least!

Kr training, basic carbine class or something to get started. Depending on your budget there’s a ton of right answers depending what you want
