Firearms Production in America Was Provided by Brinda Adhikari, Marty Langley, and Rachel Weston The Violence Policy Center is a national non-profit educational organization that conducts research and public education on firearms violence and provides information and analysis to policymakers, journalists, grassroots advocates, and the general public. The Center examines the role of firearms in America, analyzes trends and patterns in firearms violence, and works to develop policies to reduce gun-related death and injury. Research assistance for this edition of Firearms Production in America was provided by Brinda Adhikari, Marty Langley, and Rachel Weston. The study was edited by Aimée Stenzel.

Yet surprisingly little is known about those who manufacture rifles, shotguns, and handguns in America. Information is difficult to obtain and detailed knowledge of the industry is often required to even know where to look. This study compiles production information about America's firearm manufacturers in a single volume. Production figures listed in this study were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Information for the years 1986 to 1998 was obtained from annual ATF reports of firearms production. Information for the years 1975 to 1985 was obtained from ATF microfiches of the quarterly report forms for firearm manufacturers. Production figures prior to 1975 are not included. ATF does not release production information until two years after the production year. These are the only figures available. Omissions are not unlikely and stem from lack of information from ATF or unclear reporting. Manufacturers whose annual production did not exceed 1,000 for any given year are not included in the study unless they had exceeded the 1,000 weapons threshold in a prior year or were deemed to be of special interest. In addition, imported weapons are not included in this publication. Manufacturers are listed alphabetically by licensee name or most commonly known trade or product name. Trade names may, however, represent different corporate entities. Abbreviations and punctuation for all manufacturers' names have been standardized. Manufacturers include both companies that produce finished firearms as well as those that produce components for firearms that would be tallied by ATF as firearms (such as receivers). When it is known that a listed manufacturer is not producing finished firearms, it is noted. For the purposes of this study, once a company no longer registers production figures with ATF, it is assumed to no longer be producing firearms under that licensee name. Production information may not be available for companies that are, in fact, still in business or have changed their licensee or trade name. When information is available from the ATF report forms on a licensee change of name, it is offered. Notations regarding related, prior, or subsequent companies are also made, when known. For companies no longer submitting production information, the listed address is the last known city and state. For companies still submitting production information, the address is taken from the ATF reporting form or obtained from industry publications. Telephone numbers for companies currently filing reports have been obtained (either through directory information, catalog copy, or industry publications) when possible. Firearms Production in America: 2000 Edition—Violence Policy Center Caliber listings include not only all handguns produced of that caliber but also intermediate calibers that are greater than the previous caliber listing. For example, the 45 caliber pistol listing would include 40 caliber pistols and 10mm pistols. The 45 caliber listing also contains all calibers greater than 45 caliber and up to 50 caliber. Handgun caliber is the only information available from ATF regarding type of pistol or revolver. Caliber and gauge are not available for rifles or shotguns. For all firearms, manufacturers are not required to report production by model, nor are they required to report sales figures. Production numbers underlined in the study signify that the ATF information was not completely legible and that the number has been rounded off. Some source documents obtained for this study from ATF were less than complete and at times contradictory or redundant. As a result, the figures sometimes needed to be interpreted with choices made as to how to tally the reported numbers. We have done this to the best of our ability and feel that the numbers contained herein offer the most accurate picture possible based on the information available. With this in mind, the Violence Policy Center welcomes any questions, comments, or corrections regarding the information contained in this study. ii Firearms Production in America: 2000 Edition—Violence Policy Center Company: AA Arms, Inc.

  • The Future of Reloading
    Lyman® 2020 The Future of Reloading Innovative Products for Shooters Since 1878 New Beginnings - Mark 7 is now part of the Lyman family! During Lyman’s long history in the manufacture of quality reloading equipment, the most frequent question we received from our customers was “when is Lyman going to make a progressive press”. Well, in 2019 we addressed that question in a big way! To expand our capabilities for serving the worldwide reloading community, Lyman acquired Mark 7 Reloading, a company that we feel offers the most dynamic and innovative line of loading equipment in the world. Starting in 2014, the Mark 7 story began with the introduction of the Autodrive system for automating the popular series of presses from Dillon Precision, including the 650 and 1050 models. The Mark 7 Autodrive transforms presses from manual to automatic and reloaders can experience the pleasure of watching thousands of loaded rounds filling up their ammo boxes in less than an hour automatically! Not satisfied, the Mark 7 team then added a full line of sensors to make the machines run more efficiently for the user. Soon after introducing the Autodrive, Mark 7 decided to take modern reloading to an even higher level and introduced the Revolution 10-Stage Automated loading platform. This was the first affordable, fully automatic loading machine for the high volume “Prosumer” or commercial loader. The manual Evolution press, which also featured 10 stages and was fully convertible to automatic with an Autodrive, was introduced in 2018. Since Mark 7 joined us in May of 2019, the Lyman engineering and manufacturing teams have worked diligently to improve the costs of these products while maintaining the highest level of quality.
