Question 2

How do I request OEM/Variance work?

Accepted Answer

To request OEM/Variance work, email us your design details. We'll schedule a call to discuss your project. For OEM work using our premade designs (GFY/OCTAGONAL/ETC), email us or use our webstore to reserve your order. The minimum order quantity is 25 units of a similar item (e.g., 25 uppers, 25 rails).

Question 3

What is a "Reserve order"?

Accepted Answer

"Reserve order" is just another term for a pre-order. This allows OEM buyers to select large quantities of products they want manufactured quicker. Reserving an order lets us know sooner to begin working on your order, simplifying and speeding up the process. When you reserve a case quantity order, we will reach out to you with an email to go over what custom options (if any) you are looking to achieve for your product.

Do you sell products directly to consumers?

Yes, we sell some small quantity parts and accessories to the general market, including firearm accessories, non-NFA parts, and occasional clothing and stickers. We do not sell firearms or NFA items outside of OEM/variance contracts with FFL holders. Products may be discontinued and not restocked at any time, as our primary focus is OEM/Variance contracts.
