So I was wondering, talking with a buddy about it, what firearms and firearms accessory companies have their headquarters in this state? I'm talking about big name companies like Magpul, Burris, etc.
Iron Ridge and Volkmann come to mind.
RND in I think springs or thereabouts.

You might be thinking of Colorado Optics inside RMSS in ft fun. They use to be in LaSalle. Just Burris new & Blem (seconds) outlet, that after moving raised their prices a little to much for me.
IWC up in Loveland
Hot damn, not big on some of their stuff but their .50 looks like a dream. Maybe I can get a tour and maybe $100 for some range time aha...

You want to shoot 50's get with Alan @ MGT.

BOHICA.

I mainly just liked the frame/gun itself on top of the .50cal nature.
@ moved out of state comment. Jeese, wish they'd update site. Thought thats where I read where they were located was off their website in the first place 3 months ago.

Olympic Arms are located here.
And while not a producer of arms, We all know Magpul is in Boulder, CO.

Olympic Arms is out of Olympia in WA since '75 ish? SGW might still be in the Springs though. & MagPul has made some firearms.

Yeah, that's it. Now that you say Parker that sounds correct as well.
Not really a big name, but Feather Firearms is in Eaton.

I seem to recall Steiner has a scope factory near Greeley where they assemble and test many of their scopes for the US market.

Ohhhhhhhh - they are. Mark & AJ have built an awesome action. Mark also makes barrels. They shoot, flat out shoot incredible little groups. My first .308 rifle from Mark shot 3 different bullets (178 AMAX, 175 SMK & 190 SMK) into groups that measured .151", .20" & .28" respectively.
He also builds semi-autos that shoot incredibly well. About a month ago with my handloads I shot a .484" group at 200 yds with my semi-auto .308 that he barreled for me.

There's been some changes. Magpul is out. Double D Armory can be added. Any other changes?
MagPul is still in CO. They just don't make magazines here anymore.
Is Double D armory still around though? I haven't seen Jay posting in a long time and just kind of assumed he went under.

Curiosity got the best of me, so a quick Google search produced an article dated April 8th 2015, on the truth about guns website, featuring a Double D rifle.
Hmm, well, good for him then. He's probably been too busy to post here if his business is really taking off.

There are no rumors. He is/was unable to deliver a product on time . Still can't. Doubt he ever will.
HOWEVER, THIS WILL NOT TURN IN TO A DD BASHING THREAD.

You must not know him personally. Humorous post, though.

That would require its own thread altogether, if not an entire forum.

They carry his rifles at Bristlocone. Salesman was all to eager to put one in my hands. He was deflated when I told him to be careful pushing those, he was liable to get an earful from someone that was burned in said GB.

Hexmag is local.
Lippard Arms is based out of the Springs. Have to have a pretty hefty pocketbook to afford his guns though... Along the same price tag as other customs like Les Baer and Nighthawk. Met the man a few years back and would sure love to buy up one of his 1911's whenever I can afford to drop $3K on a pistol.
MagPul is still in CO. They just don't make magazines here anymore.
Magpul is here in what capacity? http://magpul.commercev3.com/downloads/Magpul%20Facilities%20Update%20Press.pdf
All of Magpul’s existing Colorado facilities will close during the first quarter of 2015. Magpul will open a single administrative location in Colorado to support the relocation and this site will then serve as a regional support office.

They still have some operations here. In what capacity? i'ld call someone i know HOWEVER, MP Employees have signed NDA's. So i doubt they will pass on said info. . Not that it matters, for all purposes their main production line is no longer here.
Shadow ops? [Coffee]
Shouldn't that be "Shady Oops"?
IWC is small but still based here I think. They seem to have done well, and at least they took that stuff about video games off their website as they're becoming more legit... ;)

Zach first post but Phoenix has been industry partner for about 2 yrs.
Why would you care anyway?

Zach just got out of the USMC and started with us at Phoenix Weaponry a couple weeks ago. I introduced him to this forum only a few days ago. You'll see more of his posts soon.

Because his post was a sales pitch. My issue is how someone can be an "industry partner" when they haven't contributed to the board yet and can't even get to the trading post?

Agree with you on the first part. He should have identified himself as being with PW, before pitching that line.
I "Believe" being an IP gets them access to the TP, since they cannot sell something w/out it.. However there are PW members who have been here longer than Zach and could contribute that info, and participate in the forums other than IP, as others do. Not making it a sales pitch.

"Sales pitch" is a big stretch. He replied to a thread asking about local business. He is not an industry partner. The company he works for is an industry partner who has followed the guidelines of being an industry partner.
Next time you have a concern about whether other members are following the rules, use the channels provided for such concerns rather than some BS post in a thread.

Its says right there plain as day that he is an IP.
And who cares if I call his post a sales pitch or not? There seems to be agreeance with me from other members. I never mentioned any violation of the rules as I have never been an IP and do not know the regulations for it. I do know that his post was not introductory in nature (as common sense would dictate a 1st post would be), and was highlighting/selling his own work in a place other than the IP area. It's fair game for criticism as this is a forum for discussion.
either way, I dont really care. Continue on...
Poor Zach. Didn't anyone tell him that if you screw up on your first post, you have to buy everyone on the board a drink? Just let us know when and where buddy! :D LOL, welcome to the board!

Thanks Brian. Sorry I'm new to the whole board thing but I would have "pitched" Phoenix Weaponry when they first opened because I know the quality of the stuff they put out having been around and knowing the owners for the last several years. I can't promise you a drink but if you come down to the shop I will demonstrate the suppressors for you :)
