We are comprised of a diverse group of individuals from a multitude of backgrounds; however, we all exhibit the highest level of commitment to innovation, product development, and customer service for the firearms industry.

Every employee at Armalite serves one mission: To manufacture, assemble, and promote high-quality small arms and associated products that distinguish themselves in performance and reliability within the civilian, law enforcement, and military markets.
