ABOUT FREEDOM FORGE ARMORY

Freedom Forge Armory LLC. 

“Tumultuous freedom, over peaceful servitude.”

Freedom Forge Armory was established in Virginia in 2013 as a veteran-owned and operated firearms manufacturing and technical services company.

The company began as a small gunsmithing and firearms operation built around a simple idea: quality matters, details matter, and customers deserve better than assembly-line service and disposable products. Early work focused on custom gunsmithing, repair work, refinishing, and limited firearms manufacturing. As the company grew, manufacturing and technical development became the primary focus.

Over time, Freedom Forge Armory evolved away from the traditional retail gun store model. Today, the company operates primarily as an appointment-based manufacturer and technical services provider specializing in:

• Firearms manufacturing
• Suppressor manufacturing
• Gunsmithing and repair
• Firearm refinishing
• Laser engraving
• NFA transfers
• Specialized technical consultation
• Training and ordnance-related research through the Ordnance Development Division

Rather than chasing high-volume production or mass-market sales, Freedom Forge Armory has remained intentionally small and specialized. This allows us to focus on quality, technical capability, and direct customer support instead of volume-driven manufacturing.
The company continues to operate under the principle that equipment should be built to be used, not simply sold. That philosophy has shaped everything from our rifles and suppressors to our training programs and research projects.

In recent years, the company has expanded into specialized mortar systems research, indirect fire training, testing programs, and development of the I3-FIRES digital fire control system through the Ordnance Development Division (ODD). While distinct from the firearms side of the company, both divisions are built on the same foundation: practical field experience, technical competence, and doctrine-driven thinking.

Freedom Forge Armory continues to adapt to changing laws, markets, and technologies while remaining committed to the same core principles it was founded on:

• Quality over volume
• Technical competence over marketing
• Practical performance over gimmicks
• Direct customer relationships
• Long-term sustainability over rapid expansion

We are not interested in becoming the largest company in the industry. Our goal is simpler than that: build good equipment, provide honest service, continue developing specialized capabilities, and be here for the long haul.
